vExATIoUs QUESTION.
Shall Colored Men Be Admitted to
American Bar Association.

New York. Aug. 1S.-The question
whether colored attorneys shall be ad-
mitted to membership i'm the American
Bar Association will be submitted Tor
final decision to the annual meeting or
the organization. next week. at Milwau-
xee. The executive committee of the as
sociation,- tonight. made public speciai
report regarding the election to member
shin of three Negroes, which was after
ward rescinded. This report will be pre-
scented by the committee at the annual
meeting as a basis for action.
This question first became prominent,
last January when the executive COM
mittee reconsidered it's action in elect
ing to membership w. II. Lewis, United
States assistant attorney general Lewis
is a well-known Boston Negro and a
Harvard graduate, who IN his university
DAYS was a famous football player. The
committee rescinded its action in max
ing Lewis a member, on the ground that
such action had been taken in ignorance
of material facts" which facts were mat
Lewis was a Negro. Later 1T was discoy-
cred that two other lawyers, Butler X.
Wilson and William r. Morris OF Min
nesota, had been elected members under
the same misrepresentation. the report
says, and their cases We're handled like
that of Lewis.
The committee in its report declines to
recede from the stand thus taken, but
explains that the status oil these three
men as candidates for membership re-
mains unimpaired and submits the whole
question to the association.
Attorney General Wickersham came to
the aid of Mr. Lewis when membership
first was denied him, and made per-
sonal appeal to the AGO members Of the
organization. The attorney general de-
clared Lewis was legally elected and that
the committee had no right, to rescind IT'S
original action.

SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

John F. Turner. head wrecker of the
Gutterson & Gould Co. of Portland, per-
formed a feat, late Saturday, that MADE
the few onlookers tremble with fear lest
he should fall to his death. Blindfolded,
Turner walked around the edge of the
top/of the big chimney at the Portland
Iron & Steel Co.'S. plant In Ligonia, and
although his pathway was but three
quarters of an inch wide. he was appar-
emily as calm and collected as though he
were strolling down the widest street In
South Portland. 1t is q feet around the
chimney where Turner took his little
constitutional, and he was l32 feet from
the ground at the time, but he had for
some time maintained that he could make
good if he attempted this stunt and those
who have been arguing otherwise are
now wishing that they hadn't made the
bet with him.-Portland Sunday Press
