AMERICA EXPECTS THE ALLIES
TO Agree with U. S. Regarding Dis
position Overseas Possessions.

Washington, April S.-Admlnis-
tration officials, 1t may be stated
with authority, confidently expect
the Allied governments to accept the
principles restated by Secretary
Hughs in his notes Of last Monday
to these governments that the Uni
ted States has surrendered none Of
its rights in the overseas possess
sions Of Germany, and that it can
not be bound by decisions affecting
those possessions made by the
League Of Nations without its assent.
There is reason to believe that
the correspondence on this subject,
which was initiated last November,
will not be closed with the receipt
Of the replies from the Japanese,
British. French and Italian foreign
offices. If the expectations Of Amer
lean officials are realized the details
regarding American rights will have
to be worked out in negotiation. In
the event, however, that the four
powers dc not find their way to an
agreement with the American view
point, there would arise a situation,
action on which officials refused to-
day to forecast.

were put up. by the State, including
DR.. w. c.. Mays, who testified that
he was a member OF the board Of
trustees of the Fair Play school and
that the board had been called upon
to exclude the Norris child. How.
ever DR.. Mays declared that he could
not swear that the woman had negro
blood in her veins, and added that
he had based his conclusions on "the
looks of her hair and complexion"

woman, and that she also remem-
bered her grandmother. She en-
phatically denied that any Of her
children had ever been excluded
from school, adding that they at

his own knowledge that John Moore
had been married before he married
Ola Norris, and he emphatically de-
MED that he had ever sent his chill
dren to "a niger school" and grit
ted his teeth at the Solicitor and
said that he never would.
The defendants were acquitted az
