Wickersham Opposes Negroes Turn

Milwaukee. Wis. Aug. 26.-'I deny
the right of the American Bar AS
sociation after it had once seated a
member, to Gust him on the ground it
had been discovered he is a Negro, :"
said Attorney General George A.
Wickersham, who arrived, today to
attend the opening here. tomorrow, of
the associations 35th annual meeting.
Mr. Wickersham came to defend the
title of William H. Lewis to a seat
in the association. Lewis is an as
sistant to the attorney general. His
membership was revoked by the exec
utive committee. on the ground that
committee admitted him without
knowing he was a Negro. The other
Negro members are similarly affected,
They are Butler r. Wilson, Boston,
and William r. Morris, Minneapolis.
Mr. Wickersham made it known he
would fight any attempt to Gust the
Negro members. Whether the asso-
citation wants hereafter to admit Ne
gro members is another question" he
said But there is no doubt the pres
ent executive committee exceeded its
power when it undertook to rescind

they were mourning her death, when
they saw her run over by one of the

The motorman apologiged for the ac-

him to stop the car. Search was made

found but a portion OF the tail and
blood. The next day however, Tabby
