Jim CROW LEGISLATION
DEN0UNCEDBY NEGROES
Citizenship Rights Congress Issues
- -r Address to Nation.

The National Colored Citizenship Rights
Congress closed tNo-days' session here
last night with the adoption Of an address
TO the country. Lynching. Jim" Crow
ism, segregation and race prescription
were denounced by the hundred or more
delegates from all sections Of the coun-
try. The congress was held under a call
issued by the National Equal Rights
League, which will hold its ninth annual
meeting here tomorrow
The congress urged extensive organiza-
tion Of the colored people to resist dis
examinations based on color. It approved
the work Of the National Equal Rights
League along this line.
The address says In part:
For many years after the close Of the
civil war peonRge was practiced in the
South, which has never become thorough
ly reconciled to equality of citizenship.
Separation CT colored passengers from all
other racial elements on common carriers,
proscriptive legislation, residential segre-
cation, lynchring Of thousands Of colored
men and even women, charged with Of
fences never proven in the courts OF Jus
tice, has become almost a national dis
ease
The race has greatly multiplied in
numbers and in usefulness. It has re-
duced its iIliteracy to a very low percent
age. Wherever the door Of opportunity
Las been opened It has demonstrated its
ability TO meet the most exacting require
ments Of our civilization. We seek moth
ing but justice and that equality OF rights
and that equal opportunity which are de-
MED to none OF the other groups IN this
country.
I'VE denounce the segregation Of color
ed employees in the Civil Service Of the
Federal government as un-American un-
just and wicked. shameful and disgraceful
abuse of power.
We denounce the spirit Of those So
called representatives Of the people in the
halls Of Congress, who are constantly
seeking 10 de-citizenize the race by the
introduction Of reactionary legislation
which belongs to the past age and which
the Great body OF American people have
outgrown."

ISSUES EDTCT.
Snow and Ice Must be Cleaned From
Sidew ks IN Reasonable Time Or
Law Will be Enforsed

IN aHother column the City Comnis-
sloner, w II. vansant. gives warning
that all who do not obey the citv ordi-
nance relative to the removal Of snow
WIZ be dealt with according TO law.
II appears that many residents of The
city and agents of unoccupied houses
ana lots pay on attention whatever n
cleaning the snow from the sidewalks
Dut leave the task for Old Sol. and If
the weather is very cold the snow re-
mains on the pavement for quite a
time.
on Friday, January z. it showed in
the morning and although the snow
ceased at 1915 many residents did not
take the trouble to clear the sidewalks
OF the snow. On the other hand Nhe
alleys and crossings were cleared OF
the snow by p. m. In fact on Sunday
January 9,the City Commissioner made
an inspection of the city to inform
himself as to the number of pavemnts
that had not been cleared of snow. and
by actual count there were an even
hundred premises that remained the
same as when the snow ceased fall
ing
The names OF the owners Of these
premises are in possession Of the CITY
Commissioner and are not confined TO
any one class of people nor to any one
section of the city What is most
surprising is that the middle and bet
ter classes We're the worst offenders,

The public school and a financial in
stitution were also remiss in their duty
as were some of the churches 1t is no
torious that agents and owners of va
cant houses and unimproved lots seem
to think that they are outside OF the
pale of the law, and do not give prop
erty of this character any attention
whatever
All these, hereafter. the City Commis-
sioner intends to see that they are
cleared of snow. and if they are not
the owners will certainly be brought
before Justice of the Peace and fined

feet square, around which are tables
beautifully decorated and lighted The

He Is Charged With Indecent Expos
ure on the Streets.

Since before Christmas, it is alleg-
ed. a man wearing the uniform of the
United States Navy, has offended wo-
men and children whom he met on the
street with indecent exposure.
At last today he was seen by two
men. after having submitted little
girl to the indignity of such expos
ure. and he was arrested.

Minnick he gave his name as Edward
Church, mail orderly. and was fined
$40 and costs. amounting to $11.75,
which was paid.
Ne was turned over to the Naval

the man is crazy. Dozens of women,
young girls and little children have
been subjected to his indecent ex-
posure on the streets.
There is another case of this kind,
near the public school. The man is a
simple-minded colored man, who mas
