testimony was that Improperly strik-

SEGREGATION FIGHT
INTERESTS NEGROES
FUNDS BEING SUBSCRIBED TO
BACK TIP CASES IN
COURT.

Claiming the segregation ordinance,
under which score or more OF persons.
white and colored. have been fined in
police court, is unconstitutional in that
1t is contrary to the Fourteenth
amendment of the United State con-
stitution, the defense in the cases of
Ameda Toni. and of Mary Hopkins,
colored, is preparing to make a stub
born fight on January 18th, when the
cases testing the segregation ordinance
comes up in the Hastings court.
The cases of Toni and of Mary Hop
kins were called yesterday in the
Hastings court with Judge Il. II. Wells,
of Hastings court, part II. presiding.
After brief argument the cases were
deferred to January 18th, when they
will be submitted on briefs.
Each Fined s10o.
Mary Hopkins was fined $500 In Po-
iice court in September. 1911. and Toni
was assessed fine of the same size in
Police court last summer, Both took
appeals as did "a number of others who
were fined. Representing Toni is At
torney Alfred f. Cohen. and the case
of the colored woman is In the hands
of ]. r.. Pollard, a colored lawyer.
When the cases were called by Judge
Wells yesterday motion to quash was
made by counsel for the defense. This
motlon brings the VAildlty OF the law
up for discussion and opens the way
to its final disposition.
Negroes Interested.
Judge Wells is presiding in the cases
because of the fact Judge Richardson
was mayor of the city at the time the
ordinance was discussed and put into
effect and because he feels he Is not
qualified to sit in the premises.
That the case will be hard fought is
certain. The colored population Of the
city ia almost unanimous in Its oppo-
sitiou to the ordinance. The negroes
have created sentiment against segre~
cation and funds have been started
with which to secure money to back
up those who are fighting the ordinance
in the court.
