NEGRO QUARTERS
FOR ST. LOUIS Up
At POLLS TODAY
Two Bills Introduced Under In
itiative Would Restrict
Residence Districts
ny Assoeiated Pressl

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 29.-Voters OF
st. Louis are deciding at q referen-
dunn election today whether two mea-
sures, designed to restrict the negro
population to certain parts OF the city,
shall become ordinances.
Two bills. both submitted by peti-
ton under the initiative clause Of the
city charter, are being voted on. One
provides that negroes shall not move
into blocks occupied wholly by white
persons, or that white persons shall
not move into blocks occupied wholly
by negroes.
The other proposed ordinance pro-
vides that negroes shall not move into
blocks in which 70 per cent OF the
houses are occupied by whites. or that
white persons shall not move into
blocks in which IS per cent of the
houses are occupied by negroes.
More Stringent Effective.
II both ordinances are adopted the
second, being the more stringent OF
the two, would be effective. Neither
ordinance puts any restriction on the
ownership of property. but restricts
solely the use of property for resi-,
dence purposes Negroes who areSSm.
ployed In houses or apartments occu.
pied by white persons are unaffected
by the ordinances. Apartment house
janitors, who live In the Easements OF
apartments occupied by whites would
not be affected.
Both ordinances contain clauses pro-
vidings that the proposed laws shall
not affect persons at present living
In blocks occupied by members OF the
other races.
Legislation 10 Certain.
II the whole block" ordinance Is
adopted about 500 blocks in the city
would be available for negro resi-
dence. II the more stringent or %
per cent measure" Is adopted, only
about $50 blocks will ibe available for
negro residence. Attorneys say Ger.
tain clauses of the "75 per cent" ord
nance are vague. and litigation seems
certain II either ordinance Is adopted.
The ordinances have been strenu-
ously opposed by negro organizations
and BY many white friends Of the
race as tending to crowd the negroes
into limited sections Of the city. The
ordinances have been supported by
many whites who argue that the prop
erty values of small home owners are
imperiled by the possibility that me-
.groes may move next door TO whites.

IN BATTLE FOR VERDUN.

PARIS, France, Feb. zy.--BaSed on
official reports, the statements of cor
respondents and the acknowledge

that few of the original force OF 30O,-
600 Germans, which had been hurled
against the Verdun lines, are left

against the French trenches, gave the
French gunners and machine gun
operators chances to NOW down men
in heaps.
German prisoners taken in the last
day of the fighting describe the fire
from the French guns as hell on
earth" Others declare that it was
nothing but "frightful massacre to
send troops into such fight"
Last night the official reports were
more optimistic than they have been
for several days. 1t was announced
that the Germans, despairing Of finally
breaking the front. have begun to
withdraw their lines from about the
fortress Of Douaumont. four miles
north Of Verdun.
French Take Many Prisoners.
1t now becomes evident that this
fort was taken In the fighting Of the
last few days, for the French official
statement announces that In their re-
t!rement the Germans were compelled
to leave behind them several entire
regiments. These commands have
been surrounded by the French ad.
vance and are expected to surrender.
as their retreat is cut off.
The official statement adds that tho
