NEGROES OBJECT
To SERVANT TAGS
CoIored Ministers Would Con-
slider Registration of Wash
erwomen HumiIiating.

The idea of badges, numbered tags
and registration for negro laundresses
and washerwomen doesn't make any
kind of a hit with the negroes of the
city according to an announcement is
sued today by a committee Of the At
lanta Ministers union (colored).
Protesting against the humiliation"
the announcement says, among other
things:
we are unalterably opposed to dis
honesty in every form and thievery Of
every nature whether committed by
omission or commission or presumption,
and we stand ready and pledged to as
stst you in every reasonable, righteous
and equitable manner to punish crime
and prevent lawlessness in its most
petty form, but we can not persuade
ourselves TO believe that you will re-
main passive or stand silently by and
allow your faithful courteous, patient
and accomplishing working people to
be subjected to such humiliation, dis
elimination hardship and inconvenience
in order to reach and control very
few unsatisfactory or dishonest serv-
ants
1T seems to us reasonable precaution
and ordinary business methods would
prevent much of the possibility and
probability for the loss Of clothing and
complaints therefor.
Proper sanitary appliances installed
in the homes and on the premises OF
the tenant class and proper enforce
ment of the sanitary laws of the city
would reduce the probability of dis
ease germs to the minimum"

NO HALF-HOLIDAYS
ON SATURDAYS IN
DYNAMITE TRIALS

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 5.-Contrarv to
the usual custom of adiourning Federal
court a noon Saturdays. Judge Ander-
son has decided to hold afternoon SEES
sions on that day throughout the trial
of the dynamite conspiracy case now
being heard
This will give the case six full days
of six hours each in court The facts
that there are 46 defendants, that the
case is exceedingly complicated and
that there will be about 500 witnesses,
making the trial matter of three
months at least, are the reasons for
holding sessions of court whenever pos
sible.
1t is quite possible that before the
case finally has been presented to the
jury it will run into night sessions.
District Attorney Miller. who already
has devoted one entire day to telling
the jury what the government expects
to prove against the alleged dynamite
conspirators, continued his long state
ment today and probably will not con-
Clude before Tuesday
AS rule, the merely curious would
be spectators are not being granted
admission to the court room. The room
Is small and is pretty well occupied by
those directly interested in the case.

MACON, GA, Oct. 5.-The case OF
contempt OF court against Colonel w.
A. Huff for sending a fiery letter to
Judge Emory Speer will be sounded,
though not tried. in the United States
court before Judge Grub on Monday.
The district attorney Is unable to pro-
coed with the prosecution because OF
the absence of Judge Speer. who is in
Nova Scotia. where he went immedl-
ately following the institution of con
tempt proceedings in August
Judge Grub was appointed to pre-
side because OF the supposed disquali-
fication of Judge Speer. but it seems
that the government reckons upon the
latter as the only witness against Colo
mel Huff, and without him the tria
can not proceed.
