Paris.-Rene Renault, proprietor Of
Ell Garron, night dancing resort in
Montmartre, was recently given a ff-
teen days suspended sentence il.
prison for ejecting two Negroes from
his place last August on the COM
plant of several American tourists.
FL Garron dispensed with its Negro
Jazz band early this summer because
Of Americans who objected, and then
early one morning in August when
two Negroes entered the crowded re-
sort, ordered champagne, picked up a
couple Of girls and began dancing,
there was a general protest.
M. Renault gave a signal and a fly
ing wedge Of walters rushed the
Negroes from the place. Outside the
police grabbed and arrested the Ne
groes, thinking they had been fight
ing or had refused to pay their bills.
There was great surprise when the
blacks gave their names as Prince
Kajo Tovalou and his brother Marc,
we'll known in Paris society and
mixed up in politics.
Black deputies representing
Frances Negro colonies interfered,
appealing to Premier Poincare, who
issued communique demanding that
foreigners" meaning Americans,

respect

HON. HOSEA w. WELLS ABLY
RANKS WITH THE BEST
HIGHER COURT JUDGES IN
COOK COUNTY

No one can successfully dispute the
fact but what Hon. Hosea w. Wells
very easily ranks with the very best
Judges Of the Municipal Court Of Chi
cago-that he is also able to measure
legal arms with the best Judges sitting
in the higher courts Of this city and
county.
Judge Wells has always stood close
to the common people and that is one
reason that he is so we'll and favorably
known to them in every nook and
corner throughout Chicago and Cook
County.
He has always been widely known
for his warm friendship for the colored
people, and they always receive a square
deal from him whenever they appear in
his court rooms and it goes without
saying that the colored people will roll
up a big vote for him on Tuesday,
November 8, for Judge of the Superior
Court of Cook County. He has been
highly endorsed by the Chicago Bar
Association and BY the Lawyers Asso-
citation of Illinois and owing to his
long, honorable record on the Munic-
pal Court bench Of Chicago he is
amply fitted to move on up higher in
the judicial world

Julius F. Taylor, Editor,
The Broad AK,
Chicago.
Dear sir:
! desire to protest against the unfair
treatment received by Edward H.
Morris at the hands Of the Chicago Bar
Associat on and its committee. 1t Is
unfortunate that such a direct insult
should be offered to the colored peo-
pie Of Chicago. It does no good to
the feeling that already exists due to
very narrow views Of many people.
The committees report on the can
didates for judges stated that Edward
Fl. Morris was a coIored man. They
might as well have given the national
ity Or race Of every other candidate
on the ticket, and the ticket is made
up OF various nationalities. They
stated that he was a man who had a
large practice, mainly in criminal
cases. I know Of no reason why a
lawyer engaged in the defense Of those
charged with crime should not be
good judge, but, as a matter of fact.
Mr.. Morris practice has been mainly
civil for many years, which fact must
have been known to the committee
and certainly should have been known
had they wished to make point OF
the question of his line of practice.
We have had many judges who came
directly from the States Attorneys
Office and whose sole experience had

OKLAHOMA CITY. okla, Dec, B. Former Gov. J. c. Walton opened ms fight today against charges of crim . inal offenses while he was in offlce by filing motions in district court here to quash the indictments re turned against him, to disquality the presiding judge and procure change of venue.
 The deposed executive was to have been formally arraigned today put this went over until the various mo- tions are acted upon. He is charged with diverting state funds to his own use, intimidating an officer by com handing the court not to convene grand jury called to investigate the governors official acts, and prohibit ing an assembly of the state legisla- ture.
 Legal jockeyng in the case is eX- nected to consume at least week District Judge George w. Clark denied Waltons motion to disqualify hlmseli at the beginning of the proceedings whereupon defense counsel announced they would seek a mandamus writ from the state court of criminal ap- peaIs to force him from the bench Waltons attorneys set out in his mo ton that Judge Clark is prejudiced and incapable of giving him a falr hearing.
 The prosecution was given until to- morrow to prepare an agreement against the motion to quash the ln- dictments and indications were given bv counsel for both sides that the battle over the admissability of the charges would be lengthy when the announced they would summon mum hpr0uS witnesses.

5 4 Y 5 LAWYERS RETARD PROGRESS
Wants More Engineers With Creative Minds Rather Than
 Man With Precedent

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-False social ideals, are hampering industry, and the dominance of the lawyer is ham peripg political development in this country, John l.. Harrington of Kan sas City. Mo, president of the Amer lcan Society of Mechanical Engi- neers, told that body tonight.
 Our country" he said "is still governed by the military and the le- gal professions, influenced somewhat by the business man. The lawyer not only occupies his peculiar field, the Judiciary, but dominates in the legislatures and in the executive branches of the government.
 The facts have materially re- tarded the progress of political de velopment, for the lawyer lives by precedent. His eyes are always on the past. It results that we progress slowly, that order and rule are deemed more important than service and progress. The engineer, with his constructive, creative scientific mind Is sorely nceded."
 MT. Harrington declared the pres ent social code and education system made women look down on men who worked with their hands and barred native Americans of superior cultural education from the profitable and honorable fields of industry which involved manual labor.
 It was the obligation of engineers, he said, to attempt to change the present system

DARKNESS AND FALSE ALARM CAUSE STIR
Misty Rain Adds To Early Monday
 Evening Confusion

Confusion was caused late Monday af fternoon in the western section of the business district of Birmingham when the failure of all electric lights was followed by the pealing gong and rushing wheels of many fire engines Groups huddled on the darkened corners drew close together, first from the fine misty rain which sprinkled their faces and second from
 the uneasy feeling that the sudden wierd situation caused to creep over all.
 Shopkeepers cast worried glances a. their upper story windows as the huge fire fighting machines darted up one street and down the other. Ex- cited men jostled back and forth in an effort to locate the blaze. Finally l the trucks drew up before the Magic City's Cornice and Roofing company s establishment at 172S, First avenue. north, where suspicious light was ] flickering in the upper windows. Ladders were quickly raised. Fire linen dragging their heavy hose mounted and hurriedly raised the window. Inside man was going labout his business by the light of g l gasoline torch, unaware of the ex- | citement he had caused in the street. Two other downtown runs were made earlier in the afternoon by the | fire department. One at 1:30 o'clock to Pizitzs new store to extingush a | fire in the paper shoot. and a trip an hour later to extinguish flames in a candy kitchen at i723 First ave
 nue. No damage was done in either case

City furnace No. or the SloSs- Sheffield Steel and Iron company will resume operations this week, preparations having been completed for blowing in the big iron making plant.
 Announcement of the contemplated relighting of this stack followed the recent recovery of the iron mark tt from the slump which it had expe- rienced for several months, due to listless buying and lack of orders for future delivery. Reduced production was the rule in all other iron cen ters as well as Birmingham. When some of the larger consumers of iron began ordering for first and second quarter delivery in 1924 the market stiffened, there was a general advance in iron prices, and many idle furnaces throughout the country ordered to be placed again in op- eration.
