PRESENTS BIRTH RECORDS.

DR.. Picker presented birth re-
cords to show, he said, that the
grandmother of Atha Sorrels was
born in December, 1856, and regis
tered with the bureau as free col
ored person. The applicant argued
that she was white.
In the course of his opinion Judge
Holt said study of the racial in
tegrfty law left one more deeply
entangled than Alice in Wonderland.
No one can prove. he said, that he
has no strain of blood other than
Caucasian.
His opinion follows:
This action was brought to com
bel A. T. Shields, clerk to issue Ii
cense authorizing the marriage OF
Robert Painter and Atha Sorrells
This the clerk declined to do because
of the provisions of an act of the
general assembly entitled, An act to
preserve racial integrity approved
March 20, 1924.
81 am in cordial sympathy with
the general purpose of the statute.
Whe, Their it be based upon pride,
prejudice or instinct, we look upon
ourselves as a sceptered race and
stand for it's preservation in all its
integrity. This purpose has been
frequently expressed in our statute
law, and miscegenation has always
been a felony in this state, but the
statute in Judgment goes far beyond
anything that has heretofore been
enacted. 1t provides that when the
clerk has reason to believe the appli
cant is nor of pure white race. he
shall withhold the granting of mar
riage license to him and to white
person. 1t further provides that no
license shall be granted where there
is any trace whatsoever of alien
hood. And that the term white
person shall apply only to persons
who have no trace whatsoever of any
blood other than Caucasian except
ing those who have one-sixteenth
or less blood of American Indians

~ oman, Listed Negroid,
Win Right to be Called
White in Integrity Case

Although several hundred persons
in Rockbridge county, Virginia are
considered slightly negroid by the
state bureau of vital statistics, they
NAV procure licenses to marry pure
whites, it was stated by DR.. W. A.
Pecker, state registrar, and leader
in the enforcement Of the states ra-
cial integrity law.
They are able to- do this because
one Of their number, Atha Sorrells,
in the course of proceedings recently
before Judge Henry S. Holt in the
circuit court of Rockbrfdg.e won the
right to be called white. DR.. Picker
saidx
Despite the fact that DR.. Plecker's
records stated that Atha Sorrells'
grandmother was free colored woman
Judge Holt decided that in his opin
ion there was mo strain present in
the applicant of any blood other than
white, except Indian, and there is no
enough of that to come within the
statute. He said that the clerk
should issue the license by which
Robert Painter, white man, should
marry Atha Sorrells.
DR.. Picker stated today, however
that any offspring of any member OF
this group will be considered negroid
in the bureau of vital statistics,
whatever they are considered in
Rockbridge county.
Atha Sorrells and Robert Painter
applied to A. T. Shields, clerk, for a
license to wed. He declined to issue
it on the grounds that Atha Sorrells
was not pure white. She appealed to
Judge Holt for a mandamus to make
the clerk issue the license.

Bluff Road Signs
Ignored by Drivers

There are some laws that are fool
ish, others that are good and some
that cannot be enforced" said a Pali-
sade man this week.
Whats bothering you now?" he
was asked.
"Oh, / was just thinking of Bluff
road 1t is now a no-way street, but
that doesn't keep traffic off. There
are auto drivers that care no more
for traffic regulation sign than they
do for anything else they do not like.
They daily violate the Bluff road or
dinance, and until a good-sized bunch
of them are hauled up and given the
benefit of ripping good fine and a
warning with teeth in it the infringe
ments will not stop. Here we have
great big sign up at Palisade avenue
and Bluff road telling the fools and
sensible people that a detour is nee
essary, yet they see no officer around,
ride past the sign and go their way.
OF couri it is dishonoring their own
characte when people behave this
way, but drive against the drivers
now and then will spread the news
that the law is being enforced"
Palisadian., 1924-11-21
1870 of Bergen
Voters Voted

According to figures compiled by
the Bergen County Board of Elec-
tions and the county clerks office
in Hackensack in connection with
the recent general election, there
was large increase in the num-
Der of voters who registered their
choice for the various offices to be
voted for.
The registration in 1923 was Co.
900, less than SO per cent Of the
electorate who exercised their right
to vote. This year there was
registration of over $4,000, and 70
per cent of the electors registered
their ballot. An unusual feature
of the election was the fact that
over 1000 voters made no choice
for President and Vice President.
Bergen county, according to the
official returns, will have go new
election districts next year, over
600 votes having been cast on Mo-
vember q in that many districts.
This addition will call for the ap-
pointment of another large num-
ber Of election officers, and may
mean just double that number of
new members on the County Com
mittee.

HARRY ELkAN CALLS
FOR BOROUGH PEACE
Says He Has Too Many Big
Things on Hand to Worry Over
Situation, However.

Harry Elkan, a member of the
Palisade Election Board, told a Palisa.
dian representative this week that he
did not see why Hoebel and Grieb,
the successful candidates and their
trends in Fort Lee, should resent the
request for recount made by Mr.
Schall and his friends. He said he
did not consider it a reflection on the
honesty of the election boards to ask
recount any more than the act of
Fort Lee people being in Palsade at
the ballot counting on election night.
"One of the candidates." he said, "sat
through the entire count and exam
ined every vote. | think that was
an insult to the Palisade Board. Mr..
Schall did not have any challengers
or watchers up above, and down here
they questioned things about certain
ballots that made me wonder where
they ever heard of such things being
done. They speak of sportsmanship
and | feel we have exhibited as much
craftsmanship as they have up there"
Mr.. Elkan said.
He continued: "They criticize the
ace vote but didn't they do prac-
tically the same thing in Fort Lee
and Coytesville by urging the election
of two men from the upper section
in order to cut the vote of the can
didate from Palisade? If they didn't
like Mr.. Schall why didn't they come
nd ncIr hot INA
citizens of this community put up an
other man? That would have been
true sportsmanship it seems to me-
Another thing, about this clique
business: When they cry about GER
tain clique being in office and running
the affairs of the town they don't
seem to take into consideration that
they too are a clique and seeking
office. That is their privilege, of
course. and so it is the privilege of
any other group of men to work for
their candidates.
II tell you | have lived in this locali-
ty for good many years. At one
time I spent more time in Fort Lee
than l did down here, and l know
the people pretty well. / often won
der why I bother aboutfit when l have
so many other big things to interest
me elsewhere. and l wonder now
why 1 am talking to you about the
situation, but I would like to see a
better understanding between the
different sections of the borough, less
wrangling and fair play for all"
Palisadian., 1924-11-21
Fl. lee SEWER CAUSE
OF EDCEWATER KICK
Improvement Association Asks
for Strict Enforcement of
Bluff Road Ordinance.

The nuisance created in the borough
of Edgewater by the outlet of the
Deadbrook sewer from Fort Lee
which is in need of repair, was again
brought to the attention of the Mayor
and Council of Fort Lee at their meet
ing on last Wednesday night.
The communication of protest was
received from the Edgewater officials,
who, spurred to action by the resi-
dents, insist on immediate action and
threaten a lawsuit if the nuisance is
not stopped.
Councilman Schall suggested that
the matter be left with the Mayor and
the Sewer Committee for action with
power to have the necessary work
done as an emergency measure. He
introduced a motion to this effect, but
no one would second it. After a
lengthy discussion, at the suggestion
OF Councilman Cook, it was decided to
have the Council as whole investi-
gate the situation on Sunday morning.
Another communication which Gre
ated a discussion was from the Pali-
sade improvement Association asking
the Board not to grant building per-
mits to the owner of two fifty-foot lots
OH Fairview lane and Bluff road, who
desires to build houses to face on
Bluff road when, in accordance with
the coming law, they should face Fair
view lane.
Councilman Schall supported the
contention of the Improvement Asso-
citation and warned that the granting
OF permits would be direct violations
OF the coming law and would result in
a lawsuit.
The Mayor thought it best to have
the whole Council look over the situa-
ton, and Mr.. Schall said they could
count him out, for he had made up his
mind on the question.
Two other communications were re-
ceived from the Palisade improvement
Association, one asking what progress
was being made on the Arcadian Way
improvements and the other asking
for strict enforcement of the one way
street ordinance affecting Bluff road.
In regard to the one way street en-
foreement Mr.. Schall said the police
officers should carry books of sum-
mons and not be made to take the of
tenders before the police sergeant in
Fort Lee. The matter was referred to
the Police Committee.
Other matters were discussed and
disposed of.
