tircly apart from the present church {:
they declared the Southern negroes
were not sufficiently developed to as
sum church responsibilities Supporters
OF the plan declared a merger OF
white and negro congregations in the
South impossible, and that it were bet :
ter TO give the negroes a church of
their own than for them to have none
at all. The lamentab!c conditions
among many Southern negroes were
pointed out. 1t was asserted the
conditions and that II should expert

years Of litigation in lower courts. the
American Bell Telephone Company to-
day asked the Supreme Court To de-
eide the amount of royalties and
rentals II owes the Western Union
in, 1879 ending their rivalry In the
telephone business. More than $4,000
600 is involved In the case.
BY the contract OF 1897 the Western
Union was to retire from renting telo-
phones and sell It's subsidiary telephone
patents To the Bell Company. In re-
turn the latter was to pay the Western
Union 20 per cent of the rentals or
royalties from licenses or leases for
speaking telephones
The Bell Company entered into
Licenses and leases with many corpora

an annual rental and 80 per cent OF
the capital stock OF these CORPORATIONS
The lower courts decided that the
Western Union is entitled to 30 per
cent or the stock so acquired. The Bell
