SEGREGATION HELD VALID.
Judge Chichester Declares Ordinance
of Ashland is Sound.

Richmond, Va, Sept. Is. - Ash
lands segregation law has been held
valid in every respect in the Circuit
Court of Hanover county, Judge r. H.
l.. Chichester having handed down an
opinion in the case of the town of
Ashland against John Coleman.
Several months ago the town of
Ashland enacted segregation ordi-
nance which is modelled after that
in force in this city. Soon after it
was put into operation a colored man,
John Coleman, undertook to make his
home outside the prescribed "color-
ed area. He was haled to court and
the penalty of the law imposed. He
then appealed, acting on the advice
of his counsel, c. B. Jones, and the
town employed James E. Cannon, of
this city, to appear in behalf of the
ordinance. In May last the case was
argued before Judge Chichester. On
Tuesday the opinion came down, and
every contention of the defendant,
Coleman, was denied, the ordinance
being held valid in every way. The
points relied on by Coleman for a
reversal of the ordinance were that
the town council was not vested with
such powers as to enable it to pass
such measure, and that if such
powers were contained in its charter,
the enactment of such an ordinance
was in contravention of the four
teenth amendment.
Judge Chichester holds that the
town was we'll within its rights when
it. adopted the ordinance, and having
a1opted it, the same could be en-
forced and that there was nothing In
the ordinance running counter to the
fourteenth amendment
The usual suspension of sixty
days was allowed in order to per-
nit counsel to appeal to the Supreme
Court.

PLATFORM GIVES Way.
Fifteen School Children Hurt il
Poughkeepsie, \. Y. /

! Poughkeepsie, n. Y, Sept. lS.-A
collapsible platform l6 feet above
! the ground, on which 731 pupils OF
the Poughkeepsie High School we're
grouped for a photograph, gave way
shortly after noon yesterday. Fif-
teen pupils were injured and y of
them were taken to the Vassar Hos
pital, most of them sutferin" f.
fractured arms and legs.
The platform on which they were
standing was 40 feet long and hao
been erected an hour previously
alongside the wall of the building
The entire school body had been
grouped by Superintendent of
Schools Shear and Schuyler Fox,
superintendent of the High School,
and were looking directly at the
camera when the crash came. Shear
and Fox were standing beside the
photographer.
The platform folded up like a
jack knife half closed, the middle
portion saggng to the ground and
the ends remaining IN their original
position. Into the rude V thus form
ed the 731 children were hurled.
Messrs. Shear and Fox, aided by
the staff of teachers directed the
work of rescue An examination of
the platform showed that none of the
timbers had broken, but that the bolts
used to hold them in place, apparent
~ too weak for the unusual strain,
had yielded. None Of those hurt are
likely to die from their injuries.

POLICE COMMISSIONERS.
Movement For Fire Alarm System
Discussed-UnmuZzled and Un-

The COMMITTEES Of fire and police
were invited to meet the board Of
police commissioners and discuss the
proposed fire and police alarm sys-
TEN for the city by the latter body
which held its regular monthly meet
ing last night.
A discussion of the subject showed
that the system was greatly needed,
and it was stated that the members
of the various fire companies had
determined to petition council to in
stall the system at an early date.
The question of the number of an
;muzzled and unlicensed dogs seen on
the streets was brought up by Com
missioner Eawler, and the Mayor re-
ported that the Chief of Police had
been instructed to bring all the
owners of such dogs into court where
they will be fined for the violation Of
the dog law
The monthly report of Chief Goods
showed that the affairs of the police
department were in good condition.

MENTS IN
SCHMIDT CAREER
Police Declare he Had Long
Criminal Experience
in Europe.
FIND ANOTHER FLAT.
Alleged doctor" Aided Slayer
Clothes of Slain Girl and Unborn
Baby Found.

! New York, Sept. 1S.-Two score
! detectives of the United States Sec
ret Service and the New York police
department, working on the cases OF
: Hans Schmidt, self lf-confessed murder
Ter of Anna Aumuller and "Dr." Ern-
cts A. Mauret, accomplice of the
priest in counterfeiting plot, made
reports last night which led officials
directing the work to the following
conclusions:
That Schmidt and Muret, long be-
fore they left Europe, had formed a
criminal partnership, and that not
only since coming to the United
States but long before each had
Knowledge of the criminal operaA
tions of the other,and that Schmidt
far from being lunatic, was one of
the most cunning and heartess
crooks in criminal history.
This conclusion was based on the
following facts:
Among the possessions of Muret
in his flat at 301 st. Nicholas ave-
nue., was found a photograph of HIM
self taken in MainZ, Germany, during
the time that Schmidt lived in that
city.
From letters found in the St.
Nicholas avenue flat of the pseudo
dentist It was found that he Is fu-
gitive from English justice, and that
Scotland Yard detectives were try
ing two years ago to locate him,
ana presumably would still like to
know of his whereabouts. The let
ters disclosing this fact were from
Muret's wife--he has posed in this
country as an unmarried man. From
the tenor Of these letters it is be-
lieved that the charge against him
was in connection with the illegal
practice of medicine.
Other documents found in the Mu-
ret flat indicate that he had travelled
under several different names in
many cities in two continents, and
that in Chicago he was known as
Dr.. Arthur Held.
Schmidt was shown to have been
not only a murderer, but in his
priest guise, a counterfeitef. a
sneak thief, ard man who. as priest,
stole hundreds of dollars from letters
sent by Pensioners to his pastor

Dryden, Mich, Sept. 1S.-Anna Au-
muller, the woman the Rev. Hans
Schmidt, admits he killed, was not
the only girl who had been cupe OF
the priest, according to a story tod
by F. P. Butler, of this city, formerly
4 reporter on the staff of the Spok-
anc Press. Spokane, Wash. Butler
said he met Schmidt in 1908 in that
city after Schmidt had announced his
lntertion OF nnurcing the Roman
Catholic Church to join the Episcopal
clergy.
According to Butler, Schmidt had
been driven out of the Benedictine
Order in Germany, but after doing
penance had been admitted to the
secular priesthood and had been
given a parish in st. Joseph, Mo-,
where he met the girl he afterward
married. His relations with the girl
were discovered and his parlshoners
drove him from the church, and ne
was forced to marry the girl in a civ
il ceremony. Later he went to the
icoast.
The same year Schmidt declared his
iirtention of joining the Episcopal
priesthood Butler says he was sent to
Interview Schmidt. He found the
priest cn his knees in a poorly furn-
Iished room, repeating his rosary
