BALTIMORE NOTES

Baltimore, Dec. Sin an oral opin-
ion handed down Tuesday, Judge
John G. Rose of the United States
District Court ruled that the recent
decision of the United States Supreme
Court, invalidating the Louisville
(ky) segregation law also voided the
Baltimore law.
The decision was in the case Of DR..
William II. Coleman, who was arrest
ed two weeks ago for violation of the
Baltimore law by moving into prop.
erty that he had purchased at 2039
McCulloh Street, a "White" block.
DR.. Coleman, on the advice OF his
counsel, Attorney Warner r. McGuinn,
refused to put up 5000 bail when he
was held at the Northwestern Police
Station for the action Of the grand
jury. Attorney McGuinn sued out a
writ OF habeas corpus before Judge
Rose for the release OF the physician.
Argument on the petition was set for
December 5, and Dr.. Coleman was
released on 500 bail pending the
same.
City Solicitor Field made the argyll
ment for the Baltimore law, contend
ing that the decision in tae Louisville
case did not affect 1t.
Judge Rose replied to Fields allie
cation that white builders would pro-
vide new homes for colored people by
saying that they have to borrow
money.
Mr.. McGuinn cited the Supreme
Court decision in the Berea College
case and similar suits to show that
the court ruled that accommodations
must be equal.
