REGISTRATION CASES.
Two Dismissed Because d Mistake Had
Evidently Been Made.

IN the case of the four Negroes arrested
Yesterday for Illegal registration, two were
dismissed and two held under $500 bail
for hearing on Tuesday by Judge Finger
III Municipal Court today. 1h, two who
were dismissed were Ida NJ Chase and
Louis Briggs, and the two held were
Mamie Wilkinson and Samuel Kelly.
They were specifically charged with
registering when under II years Of age.
The two who were dismissed were ap-
parently over 40 years old and for that
reason were discharged, while there was
some doubt as TO the others.
That there was some mistake 10 arrest
ing two Of the parties Is evident. Henry
r. Isaacs, Democratic State chairman,
stated that he believed that the warrants
were sworn out for the proper persons, but
that service had been made on the wrong
persons.
"It is a case Of substitution, we be-
Icve," he said. "That is, while orc war
rant was for Ida Chase some other person
by the same name was substituted instead
Of the girl for whom the warrant was
issued. The same thing may be true IN
the case Of Briggs. "Of course, il may be
possible that a mistake was made 10 look
ing over the registration books, but ]
doubt it"
The witnesses failed to appear in court
this morning and Judge Finger ordered a
cs.pias TO be issued and fixed bail At $500
for their appearance on Tuesday. They
were Henry Weeks and Francis l.. Pad
