has filed suit in the municipal court
against the Douglass National Bank
and Mr.. P. w. Chavers for Isl 500.

to them that the bank would open up
a branch National Bank in the City
of Detroit; that in furtherance of the
representations, he caused to be dis
played, q sign on a building in the
City of Detroit, which read Douglass
Bank; that believing that he would
open a branch National Bank, Mr..
Blount subscribed and paid cash
amounting to Sixteen Hundred Ninety
dollars $1,000.
1t is to recover this amount of
money that Mr. Blount brings his
suit.

MORGAN PARK IN BLOOM

Morgan Park, the beautiful suburb
of the city, was all in bloom with
more than a thousand people from
the city and surrounding suburbs who
attended the seventeen church and
private picnics on July 4th. The
churches which held picnics included
Bethel A. NJ E., Arnet A. NJ. E.
Chapel, Metropolitan Community
Center, Bethesdean, Mt. Hope and
Mt. Zion Baptist churches. Rev. w.
D. Cook of the Metropolitan Com
munity Center and Mr.. R. E. Moore,
for many years superintendent of
Bethel A. N. E. Sunday school, were
among the many active church work
ers, and NJ. T. Bailey of the Bailey
Realty Co. spent busy day in show
ing members of the race the many
choice lots for sale and making sew
eral important sales. George w.
Faulkner and Luther Robinson, real
estate dealers, were also busy during
the day.

riot cases. While the rule is that the
decision of the Appellate Court is
binding only in the case in which it
is rendered, nevertheless, we have no
doubt that the nisi prius courts will
follow this opinion in all cases
reached for trial before there is a
final expression on the point at issue
from the Supreme Court. Hence,
while there may be some object in
waiting for such an authoritative de-
cision as would be rendered if the
matter of settlement were held in
abeyance until then, it will necessarily
cost the City a great deal more if the
Supreme Court takes the same view
as the Appellate Court. Many cases
will have matured into judgment and
no settlement for a smaller sum than
the amount of the judgment may then
be accepted. Even those claims that
have not been reduced to judgment
will, in that event, probably have to
be settled on a higher basis.
In consideration of the foregoing
we believe the interests of the City
can best be served if an effort is
made to adjust amicably the so-called
riot cases now pending in court.
Yours very truly,

nolds, Rogers and Cox did not refuse to so volun-
tarily and face the charges, until they were led by
their attorneys believe that they could success
fully resist extradition.
Rumors reached the Journal some weeks ago
that the only reason advanced by these men for
refusing to go to Arizona their belief that they
could not not get fair trial in Navajo county and
to another county, before surrenderng themselves.
The Journal believes that these men should have
change of venue abundant precauton
against injustice. The history of prosecutions in
this state does not show that politco- financial
group has been to prejudiced courts when
they have been prosecuting other people, but that
affords no for doing less than complete and
impartial justice toward these defendants While
they should have change of venue they should
not, on the other hand. be allowed to choose the
county in which they to be tried There are
counties in Arizona where the influence Of these
men is so predominant that the state could not get
fair trial. An impartial judge should determine
that issue.
When the prosecuting attorney Of Navajo county
passed through Albuquerque recently, he was
advised of the reported contention of these defend
ants and expressed willingness to consent to any
fair change of venue.
These defendants doubtless realize the unenvia-
BILE position they will occupy should they their
political influence in New Mexico to prevent being
compelled to face these charges in fair court in
Arizona.
