Misceaenation a Felony.

There is pending for action IN the
Senate Of the United States bill
which recently received the approval
Of the House of Representatives,
the purpose Of which is to prohlblt
the intermarriage of persons not OF
The Caucasian race in the District
OF Columbia.
Should this enactment be en-
dorsed in the United States Senate
it will become enforceable and IL
will stimulate similar legislation in
the States of the North where ne
groes and some of the Caucasian
race amalgamated by marriage
sanctioned by the laws of these
States.
The negroes and some of then
white associates are against TINS
bill. which is not surprising, but
such legislation is not only desir-
able. but il is dictated by common
decency and is a preservation OF
the natural distinctions of the
races.
From Mexico is exemplified the
degeneracy in the races of the mon
grels. The Caucasian is the SUI
perior race, and it becomes the duty
of every self-respeeting citizen tt
preserve and maintain it.
How degrading is the spectacle OF
a big burly African exhibiting HIM
self and his wife, a Caucasian, in
and about the capital of the Nation
in the fullest limit of his defiant in
science.
And yet there are men in the
Northern States, politicians and Of
holders and office seekers, who
would tolerate this condition be-
cause the negro is a voter and in
some of the States is~a dominant
factor in the local, State and ma
tional politics of these States.
The bill, as prepared and sub
mitted by Representative Hardwick
of Georgia, declares miscegenation
To he felony and provides pen
atty of Imprisonment of not less
than two years. or a fine of not less
than $500, or Imprisonment and fine
at the discretion of the court.

The accident occurred at the inter-
section of Capitol avenue and James

nus became confused and proceeded
north on James street, after she had
apparently signaled the other car III
go ahead, with the result that the
Caron machine crashed into the rear
wheel. The latter car was put out
of commission, and the occupants
none of whom were hurt, were taken
to their homes by Mr.. Caron.

SULZER TRIAL NJ
COMES TO end
Members Of Impeachment
Court Warned BY judy
and Excused.
VERDICT ON MONDAY
Counsel for SulZer ROasts Client and
and Says Fight is For
States Honor.

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 1O.-The trial Of
the impeachment of Governor Sulzer
ended today. With the final admoni-
ton of Presiding Judge Cullen not to
permit anyone to approach them or
discuss the merits OF fine case, the fiji
ty-seven members have gone to their
home to return Monday afternoon at
$50 O'clock At that hour the doors
of the court room will be locked and
the private consultation" at which
the fate of Sulzer is to be decided,
will begin. The verdict is expected
late Monday night.
TO those who have followed the
trial there is but one view of the final
result-a verdict of guilty to be fol-
lowed by expulsion from office. The
firm belief Of the impeachment man.
ayers. is that Sulzer will not get more
than eight of the twenty votes neces-
sary to save him from conviction.
Sulzer himself realizes tonight for
lHc liiSl llille We desperate SCTdlLb uo
is in. His supreme egotism was
shocked today by the declaration of
his counsel, D. Cady Herrick, that he
was defending the honor of the state
not Sulzer, whom he characterized as
one unfit, of low ethical standards,
prone to egotism and to consider
creatures of his own imagination as
facts"
sulzer is tonight smarting under
this attack by his own counsel. He
wants to give out new statements,
which have been prepared to be given
out after the verdict-the statements
he was deferred from making under
oath in court through the fear of
CT discrimination. Sulzer counsel
feel that such action would be worse
than fatal and they are keeping close
watch over him to prevent it.
