WON'T PASS ON NEGROES
American Bar Assn Committee
Puts Question Up to Convention
FORMER ACTION RESCINDE0
Committee Elected Three Men,
Not Knowing Their Race and
Having No Precedent.

The question whether negro attorneys
shall be admitted to membership in the
American Bar Association will be submiti
ted for decision at the annual meeting Of
the organization at Milwaukee The ex'
ecutive committee Of the association last
night made public a special report regards
ing the election 10 membership OF three
negroes. which was afterward rescinded.
This report will be presented by the COM
mittec at the annual meeting as a basis
for action
This question first arose last January,
when the executive committee reconsid-
cred its action in electlng to membership
William II. Lewis. United States Asa
sistant Attorney General. Lewis is
well known Boston negro. and a Harvard
graduate, who, in his university days,
was a famous football player.
The committee rescinded its action iI
making Lewis a member on the ground
that such action had been taken in
ignorance OF material facts" which facts
were that Lewis was negro.
Later It was discovered that two other
lawyers. Butler 4. Wilson and William
r. Norris, Of Minnesota. had been elected
members under the same misapprehen"
sion, the report said, and their cases re-
quired the same disposition
The committee In its report declined ID
recede from the stand thus taken, but eX-
plained that the status OF these three men
as candidates for membership remained
unmpaired, and submitted the whols
QUESTION to the association.
Attorney General Wickersham came to
the aid Of Mr. Lewis when membership
first was denied him. and made personal
! appeal 10 the 400 members OF the organ
ization. The Attorney General declared
that Lewis was legally elected. and that
the committee had no right TO rescind It's
original action.
In ending its report the committee sald'
The committee has not rejected any
one \Uf the three mentioned gentlemen
for membership in the association or as
sumed 10 determine the dcsirability or
electing to such membership q colored
man otherwise qualified
| But inasmuch as the settled pracuce
! Of the association has been to elect only
white men as members thereof. the conf
mittee felt itself constrained TO reserve
the important question or eiectlng coz
ored men for determination by the assoc
citation itself. and to that end the COM
mite has regarded its as plain duty
to rescind it's earlier action.
The status Of the three above named
persons as candidates for admission re-
mains unimpaired.
Having endeaVored 50 to proceed as 10
leave tho association free to exercise itS
own plenary power. the committee now
reports the matter TO the association
without recommends in the prem~
ises. and inasmuCh as doubt has been
expressed az TO the right and iurisdic-
| ton Of the executive committee 10 pass

! August II. 1912. the question as 10
whether the committee had power 10 act
! thereon or to adopt such resolutions IL
also hereby referred TO the association
