RACE PREJUDICE NORTH.

Roscoe c. Giles Barred From Course
4 In New York Medical Institution.
New York Another case Of fragrant
and unwarranted race prejudice has
come to the fore in this city. Roscoe
9. Giles of Brooklyn, a Cornell grad
uate and student Of medicine at the
Manhattan Maternity hospital and dis
pensary, has been requested by the
directors of the institution to resign
from the course of instruction for
which be contracted ana paid for.
Young Giles. who is twenty -four
years old and has an excellent record
in the Boys High school, Brooklyn,
and Cornell university, Is said to be
at the head of his class in Cornell
Medical school and will receive his
degree In 1915. provided he completes
his course. one of the requisites for
the completion being the care Of six
maternity cases.
1t was for this purpose that he reg
q
Maternity Hospital and Dispensary.
He paid the tuition fee, received his
lnstrumeErs and went daily to the In
stitution, but was not assigned to any
case. He complained to the medical
board of the hospital. but was not
definitely Informed until Saturday.
Sept. 10. that he would be requested
to withdraw. The request came in
the form Of copy of the letter sent
to DR.. Richard Aurel Brown. secre-
tary of the medical board. by Lewis
Islin. secretary Of the board Of direc-
tors. 1t Is as follows:
DR.. r. r. Brown. Secretary Medical
Board:
Dear sir-At a meeting of the board Of
directors the following resolution was
passed:
Resolved, That the action Of the medical
board In requesting DR.. Roscoe c. Giles
to withdraw from this institution be ap-
proved and that his fee be returned to
him. LEWIS ISELIN.
Secretary Board of Directors, Maternity
Hospital and Dispensary.
The only explanation Of the action
that could be obtained by the young
man. and even that was Of an unoffi-
cial nature. was that his white assO-
ciates objected to him. One Of the
young mans associates Is his class
mate. a young man named Buchstein.
who has been frequent caller at
Giles home and often has dined there.
SO 1t is said.
The Manhattan Maternity Hospital
and Dispensary Is an institution char
tered by the state Of New York and is
supported by private contributions.
Many prominent New Workers were
among the original incorporators, in
cluding Cornelius Vanderbilt, Frank
L Polk and Moses Taylor.
The young mans father, who is an
attorney. refused to say what action
he would take in the matter, although
he proposes to fight ito the bitter end"
He claims that the institution has made
itself liable to suit for damages.
The National Association For the
improvement Of Colored People has
interested itself in the case and will
conduct an investigation and advise
regarding action to be taken. Con-

interested In young Giles and assisted
him in obtaining his education. wrote

HEAVY SHOWS TO
BRING BIG CROPS
Soil In Fine Shape as Result
Of White Blankets.

Washington.-For a number Of years
the country at large has not enjoyed
such general SHOWS as whitened the
countryside dn"ing February and
March Of the present year. Also it
has been the occasional catastrophe
that one great heavy snow has fallen
late in the season to be followed by a
quick thaw and consequent foods.
Now the soil sharps. seeing THAT condi-
tons are more nearly ideal this sea-
son than for number Of springs, are
encouraged to believe that 1914 is des-
tined to be year Of bumper crops.
DR.. J. A. Bonesteel of the bureau
of soils is quoted:
"Since the snow blanket took it's
time in departing we will have a bet
ter crop start this year than for sew.

be hardly more ideal. We had snow

sistent enough to keep the ground COW

wheat in perfect condition.
This is particularly true Of the east
ern states generally, but at the same
time conditions are far better in the
middle west than is the general aver
age.

"Where snow remained a long time
and there has been extensive oppor-
tunity for it to seep down into the
earth. carrying its moisture from one
to two feet. the soil is prepared to de-
velop sturdy roots for the cereal crops
The plants therefore stand better
chance against possible deficiencies in
the matter Of rainfall during the period
