Philadelphia, Pa, Aus l0-The law
firm OF Norris & Lewis Philadelphia 5
youngest lawyers. will be called upon
to argue the most unique case ever
presented to a tribunal for consdera-
ton and decision. Some OF the ques-
tons involved are: Can the question
OF whether a child is white or eolored
be scientifically determined aside
from the circumstances OF hair and
color? Is there amy difference be
tween the blood OF a colored child
and that of white child? These are
two OF the questions which will affect
Mrs. Thompson's right to the custody
OF her own child. In a previous trial.
in which specialists were called to
testify, they contended that their
blood tests proved conclusively the
child to be white. The final decision
is awaited with interest.

DAILY PAPER

STORY
w. r. Hearst's Herald-Exam-
iner Manufactures Story
of Chicago Heights
Race Riot.

The many rumors, put afloat by
various dailies in the latter part of
last week, indicating that race riots
were emminent in Chicago Heights.
were found to be as baseless as they
were vicious in their attempted ex-
planation of the cause. One after
noon paper played up in bold type,
y cLl--A.a 'litarv in Readiness. Fearipg
-6esperate efasff~ b efps.s !, : AZ Issrrl,ss
and Italians" Upon investigation by
special representative from the
Whip Office, this statement was found
to be not only false, but seemingly
born of an imaginary mind. having as
its object the hope of stirring up race
hatred
As a matter of fact, the representa-
tives assigned to investigate, found
Chicago Heights as peaceful and con-
tented as any other community. The
asked about the call for troops char
acterized the statement as not only
being false in its entirety but a wild
dream which had its inception in the
brain of news mongers.
No Cause for Rumors
"It is true" says the Chief, that
there is a certain amount of industrial
and economic discomfort in this city
and the same is true in nearly every,
if not every other community and
they sometimes result in street scraps,
but no one is justified in playing
these things up from a newspaper
point of view and giving them the
prominence of race riots" 1t was
clearly indicated by the chief that
the commercialized press in the man
ner i'll which they handled their news
stories more often inspired mob
violence than ,nything else. Taking
precautions Sheriff Peters of Cook
County, placed an extra force OF depu-
ties at Chicago Heights in order to
meet any situation that might arise
as a result of the vicious stories
printed by some of the Chicago
dailies. The better class of people
of Chicago Heights do not hesitate
to critcise the attempt on the part of
certain papers to injure the good
name of the county and state by max
ing slanderous statemens in their
stories in order to make their news
commodities salable.

CHAMbLISS APPEAL

The persecution Of Officer Dorsey
Chambliss and Emma Ross reached
the high point OF its indicative in

Officer Chambliss was patient un-
der persecution to the last day when
it was found impossible to complete
the long record and have it approved
before the mttimus was issued. Mrs.
Ross, who was compelled to share his
luck. was strong in her belief that
vindicaton would come. The at

the record now prepared shows an
abundance OF errors and that the Su-
preme Court will render a just judg-
ment when the case is heard on re-
