He Is still young man and in the
near future intends to tour the east,

opportunity to add their praises to the

Of music who have heard him are his

The Hon. Alfred ]. Murphy, noted

1T Is a pleasure to attest his remarka-

shading his voice stamps him a rare

Star for Missouri and Jurisdiction Mrs.

Jurisdiction, which extends through
Oregon, Montana and Nebraska and
into New Mexico. Besides I'm the above

Allen Christian Endeavor league, In
which she was highly successful.
While Mrs. Haley has been active In
many good movements for human bet

seems that she Is now more anxious to
serve than ever before. In her new
field she will have the opportunity Of
her life to reach the unreached women

His counselor was Clifton T. A. French,
young attorney Of our race whose
ability as a practitioner Is attracting the
attention Of the legal profession here
in a way that is causing old timers in
the profession to look well to their lau-
rels.
Upon the completion of the testimo-
ny Of the complaining witness at the
trial in question novel point Of law
was being argued by the counsel for
the people and the defense when the
latter created much CONSERVATION in
the court by the production of evidence
Of great weight and at the same time
made motion to dismiss the complaint.
The court Immediately granted the mo.
ton with full vindication, and the pre-.
siding Judge paid Attorney French a
fine personal compliment.
1t Is a high tribute to the legal ability
Of this young sprig Of the law to be
called to the bench by presiding Judge
Rosalsky (who is austerity personified)
and complimented and praised In full
some phrase on his sound knowledge of
legal procedure In case Of such vital
Importance to the defendant and his
counsel. His course clearly indicated
that he had read the law to some pur.
pose and that he saw in this particu.
lar case an opportunity to put 1t to the
test.
As soon as he made the motion to
dismiss and produced certain evidence
to justify his action In defense Of his
client the learned judge at once saw
that he could do no other than to dis.
miss the complaint. Counselor French
had scored. The Judge realized 1t and
the prosecuting attorney reluctantly
admitted that he was defeated-out-
pointed, licked ito frazzle" by Ne
gro attorney who understood what he
wanted and got It. The Judge and
counsel at the bar owned the force OF
the Negro's ability and then extended
their congratulations to the young dis
ciple Of Blackstone who had won le-
gal victory Of which many an old vet
eran practitioner at the bar would have
been proud to have to his credit. But
this Is not the only legal skirmish In
which Mr.. French has engaged. An
other case in which he secured an ac-
quittal for his client was that Of The
People versus William Anderson,
which was bitterly contested at every
point by this brilliant young man, and
ended In the freeing of his client. Mr..
French's practice. covers both the civil
and criminal courts, and thus far he
has been successful in all the cases in
which his firm has appeared.
Mr.. French received the degree OF
B. A. from New York university and
from Columbia the degrees Of M. A.,
Ii. B. and Ill. M. In addition, he has
completed all the resident work for the
degree Of Phi. d. and has only to write
