RACE SEGREGtTlON.
Problem Now Up Before Supreme
 Court for settlement.

Washington, April 19,-The race segregation problem. which has stirred up endless trouble in the courts of various states mostly those of the South has finally been put up to the United States supreme cour, for decision.
 Elaborate arguments have been filed with court as to whether cities may enact laws separa ing white and negro inhabitants. The specific case now before the court is a Louisville, Ky, ordinance, which makes it unlawful for negro to occupy a residence in any block where a majority of the houses are occupied by white persons Decision of the constitutionality of this question will settle the validity of similar measures Richmond, St. Louis, Baltimore. and a score of other cities in the South.
 Louisvilles legal representatives in briefs submitted. defend the ordi' nance as necessary to preserve race integrity and prevent racial conflicts ] They contend that the measure is moi one of discrimination. and is essenti ally reciprocal in it's terms. Oppo nents of the ordinance contend that il
 is violation of the negro's equa
 rights privilege.

BEING
 MADE AT tlTY HALL
Collectors Office and Police Head. quarters Undergoing
 Alterations.

The office of Collector w. V. Hut al 1he city h9ll, is being enlarged, and the interior Of police headquar- ters is being reinolled and rearranged' by a force of carpenters which start ed operations yesterday.
 Mr Hutt's office has been too small. there being not sufficient space for the proper transaction of the business of the office To remedy this, the rear partition wall has been moved hack ahout six or eight feet, adding to the collectors office a portion Of the room heretofore occupied as a storeroom by the plice department.
 While this was being done, the ser geant'S desk iii police headquarters, which had been located alongside th" l hallway entrance, was turned around. so that now 1t runs across the hall, bout fifteen feet inside the entrance. ! A wood lattice has been placed on i top this desk. with small open.nF, and a door alongside will keep out i siders from getting within the inclos- ure, where they have no business.
 The changes will add to the com fort and convenience of the collector as well as of the police department.
 while police headuuarters will look more like such establishment, than has been the case in the past. The
 work will be completed by the end of the week.
 The jail section of police headGuar-
 ters has already been thoroughly cleaned, overhauled and painted in white, under direction of Chief Frank ' Stewart, and is now in almost perfect
 sanitary condition.
 The three fire stations likewise
 have been overhauled by the fireboys the past week water. soap and paint being used lavishly to make the es- , tahlishments spick and span.
