Vacation By
B o a r d
tBy Associated Negro PRESS

Washington, d. c., Dec. 6,-The
board of education gave further ex-
preston of it's confidence in Prof
Roscoe C. Bruce, head of the Colorei
schools, by voting him a two-week
vacation to recuperate from the strain
of the recent investigation into his
administration.
The board suggested that he spend
the period visiting schools in other
cities. Prof. Bruce also sat in at
the executive session of the board
preceding the open meeting. That he
attend the meeting of the board to make
suggestions on matters affecting the
Colored schools was one of the re-
concentrations of the majority of the
committee which investigated his office
and found him competent for the
position.
Although the board has disposed
of the Bruce case, members of the
Parents League, continued to picket
the Franklin School where Bruce has
his Office.

Washington, d. G., Dec. 6.--The Bu-
reau of Investigation heretofore has
had little to say about its inquiries
into the recent race riots throughout
the country. In fact, it has been
questioned whether the Department
Of Justice was giving any particular
attention to the race riots The de-
tailed reports on radicalism among
the Negroes passed on to the Senate,
however, shows that the Bureau Of

exhaustive Ldldy of all radical ac-
tivities along this line.

indicates that former report had
been made by the bureau. It reads
"Since the first report was prepared

STATES RIGHT QUESTION
BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Arguments in Railroad and Phone
Rate Cases Presented Monday
Tanner Appears.

Arguments we're presented to the
United States supreme court Monday
in the cases brought in several states
against the railroad administration
and Postmaster General Burleson for
attempting under war legislation to
supersede state authority in regu-
lating and fixing rates entirely with
in state on transportation lines and
on telephone and telegraph lines. BY
assigning all these cases for one day,
the supreme court brought sharply
into public notice the whole question
of the rights of states. Not since the
Civil war has this question been OF
SO much importance.
Perhaps the most important case
of all was the one entitled the state
OF North Dakota against the North
ern Pacific railway In this case w.
V. Tanner, formerly attorney general
of Washington. appeared and made
argument, having been retained by
the public service commissions Of
Washington, Oregon and Idaho to
assist North Dakota.
Other states also associated them
selves with North Dakota and were
heard. The question directly at issue
involves interstate freight rates, and
regulative authority, but the whole
power of railroad administration in
interstate matters is in the balance.
Then there were four cases inyolv-
ing the postmaster generals orders
in telephone matters overturning the
authority of state commissions.
Three were brought respectively by
South Dakota, Massachusetts and
Kansas with other states represent

both aware of their proximity. since
each side had discovered what
troops il was opposing.
By throwing notes across to the
opposite trench one of them finally
established communication with the
other, and a meeting was arranged.
At the meeting, which took place in
a rather secluded spot, the German
officer told his brother that he real
lied that he had' been drafted into
the American army and that if he
would go back with him. he would
see that he was well provided for.
But the American soldier replied
that he was volunteer and had no
desire to return with his brother.
This enraged the officer and he at
tempted to use force. When his
brother resisted, the struggle took
on the nature of hand-to-hand con-
fiict and finally, after being stabbed
several times. the younger brother,
in order to save his own life, was
forced to shoot the arrogant German
officer.
