Some UNIQUE Cases.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2O.-Some of
the most extraordinary unique cases
in history today are awaiting decisions
of the supreme court of the United
States. Approximately seven hundred
mooted questions are before the high
est judicial body on the eve of it's
October term.
Whether negroes may call upon their
constitutional prerogatives to force the
right to bury members of their race in
cemetaries reserved for whites; whe-
ther the United States army must pay
for business damage through fear of
shrieking shells from its big guns;
determining the rightful mother of an
incubator baby; and to determine the
constitutionality of the grandfather
clauses" of Oklahoma and Maryland.
designed against voting privileges of
negroes whose grandfathers were not
voters are but few of the singular
questions the court is called upon to
pass on.

RESTRICT LIQUOR TRAFFIC
ON FEDERAL INDIAN LANDS
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT UPHOL LDS
RIGHT OF UNCLE SAM TO GOVERN
REVERSE NEW MEXICO COURTS
Upheld Right of Congress to Admit the Territory to
Statehood With the Anti-Liquor
Clause.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-The United
States supreme court today. in a dec
lslon handed down upheld the right
of congress to admit New Mexico to
statehood with the clause in the new
states constitution giving to the feder-
al government authority to restrict the
liquor business in former Indian lands
of the state.
The decision of the courts of New
Mexico that the regulation of liquor
traffic was not subject to interference
by the federal authorities was re-
versed.

A Cemetery Case.

Though decided against the plaintiff
in the Illinois supreme court and
lower court the supreme court must
decide whether the Forest Home ceme-
tary company of Chicago shall be re-
quired to sell a burial lot to John B.
Gaskill, negro. The body of Gas
kills wife, who died in March 1912,
still reposes in temporary receiving
vault. The place of permanent burial
depends upon the courts decision.
Four deceased children of the negro
are buried in the Forest Home ceme-
tary. Before his wife died, however,
ruling against negroes was made by
the management ON the basis of bus
mess reasons.

Business was Ruined.

deserted summer resort near
United States army fort in the vicinity
of Portsmouth, Maine, spells a difficult
question for the court. Before the
fort was established summer hotels
fourished. Later the big guns of I'm

shells shrieking over the summer ho-
tells which happened to be directly on
the line of target practice fire Rather
than sacrifice safety to- summer re-
sorting on that particular section of
the Maine coast the summer boarders
went elsewhere. Whether the hotel
owners can recover damages for their
defunct business is the question involv-
ed and the court must decide.

The Negro Franchise.

Enfranchisement of the negro of
Oklahoma and Maryland depends upon
the courts ruling regarding the valid
ity of the famous grandfather
clause" This clause which is effec-
tive in other southern states bars the
negro from the voting booths because
his grandfather was not voter.
Whether the court will take into iaen-
sideration that most negroes grand
fathers were slaves is question
Singular also is the existence of
many cases before the highest judicial
body involving claims for damages in
amounts of $1,000 and less. The cost
of carrying a case to the supreme,
court of the United States rarely fig
ures under several thousand dollars.

but who now is a robust child of nine

Douglas county, ILL.,, claim the child as

guard at the worlds fair He watched
