COLOR LINE AN ISSUE.
Question Of Excluding Negroes From
Juries Before Highest Court.

The question whether the failure in
southern states to select negroes for
jury duty is denial to negroes accused
of crimes of the equal protection Of the
law Is raised in the Supreme Court of
the United States.
A brief has been filed with the court
by counsel for Robert Kitchen. a negro
sentenced to be hanged in Washington
county, Ga, for the murder of Henry
Brantley, a white man, urging that the
federal district court in southern Geor-
gia erred in refusing to release Kitch-
en-. after conviction. on a writ of ha-
beas corpus.
He urged that the failure to have ne
groes on the grand and petit turies
which passed on Kitchens case de-
prived the trial court of jurisdiction.

ALLIES REPLY TO U. S. PROTEST
AGAINST SEIZURE SHORT
OF DEMANDS.
TO HASTEN INSPECTION
RIGHTS OF NEUTRALs INSISTED
UPON NOT CONCEDED BY
FRANCE AND ENGLAND.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-The reply of Greal
Britain and France to the second pro
test by the American government
against illegal interference with mai
matter passing between the United
States and neutral European coun
tries is declared TO fall far short oil
meeting the full demands of the Unit
ed States.
The concluding paragraph OF the
American protest warned Great Brit
ain and France that only a radical
change in the policy pursued by them
in censoring American mails, restor'
ing to the United States Its full right
as neutral power" would satisfy
this government.
Warning also was given that the
United States regards the rights OF
neutrals as sacred as those OF bellig-
erents, and "can no longer tolerate
the wrongs which citizens OF the
United States have suffered and con.
tinue to suffer through these meth
ods."
In a joint memorandum dated Feb.
is, Great Britain and France an
nounced that true to their engage
ments," they would continue for the
present from seizing and confiscating
correspondence mail, the inyiola'
bility OF which they admitted The
second American protest complained,
among other things. that. while re-
framing from making these seizures
on the high sea, the allies had forced
neutral steamers to enter their ports,
thus acquiring by force or unjustifi-
able means an illegal Jurisdiction"
Instead of conceding that the meth.
DDS complained of were lawless." the
allies stoutly assert that the censor
ship is being maintained in accord,
ance with the rules Of International
law. ..
They don't concede that they have
no legal right to make seizures OF mail
on the high seas and justify the TAX.
ing of neutral steamers into British
ports on the ground that this is done
solely for the purpose Of expediting
the examination OF the mails. In order
that innocent" correspondence may
be sent forth with as little delay as
possible.

contained in the report Of joint com.
mittee composed Of five bishops, five
clergymen and five laymen, appoint.

U. s. NOTE OF WARNING SENT TO

President Wilson informs Allies That

Like other Warships.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, Oct. 11.-Develop
ments here indicated that the
United States is making plans to
meet any issues which may arise
with either Germany or the allies
over the operations OF German sub
marines on this side OF the Atlantic.
While Secretary Of State Lansing
was at Shadow Lawn comforting with
President Wilson, officials Of the State
and Navy Departments were busy col
lecting all evidence concerning the
activities OF the U-53 off the New
England coasts Sunday and Monday.
Also the State Department, acting
on orders from President Wilson.
made public the American reply to the
British note Of Aug. 90 demanding
the United States agree to refuse har-
borage to belligerent submarines dur
ing the remainder Of the war.
In her note, Great Britain intimated
that unless this country agreed to fol-
low her suggestions American subma.
rines might be endangered in case the
cndersea warfare was carried to wa
ters off American shores.
The United States refused the de.
mand point blank and served notice on
Great Britain and her allies that it
would hold. the negligent power" re-
sponsible for any injury done Ameri-
can subjects, where no attempt had
been made to ascertain their nation
ality.
The American reply was sent on
Aug. 81 and was extremely curt.
1t was minus the usual diplomatic
frills and indicated that this govern
nent did not care to carry on the con.
troversy further. 1t was withheld
from the press at the time on the
Presidents order.
In 80 far as the possible differences
with Germany are concerned, Wash
ington officials said that everything
depends on the conferences at Shadow
Lawn between President Wilson and
Secretary of State Lansing and the
President and Ambassador Gerard.
Further reports from the New Eng
land coast and from survivors Of the
vessels torpedoed by the U.53 indi.
Gated that there might have been Sc
rious loss Of life had not American tor.
pedo boats gone to the rescue Of the
passengers Of the Stephano when she
was torpedoed.
Officials pointed out that the United
States never has formally conceded
that putting passengers in open boats
at sea was sufficient TOR their safety.
The view taken here is that the
U-53 observed the German promises,
and. as no lives were lost, there
seemed little ground for protest
now.
