ed in a furious fight in which
fur and flesh flew for five min
utes Monday afternoon about
five forty-fve.
Tho young negroes surely
must have been justified, for so
much depended upon the out
come of their argument. The
dispute was about Sears, Roe

vince the other that he knew
more about the big mail order
house, Fintlly they came to
blows. Leroy ripped rubber
heel off his shoe, leaving the
nails projecting. Tom wrench
ed a faucet from a water con.
nection and turned on Leroy;
Leroy was slightly purturbed
at Toms attitude and weapon
and he theTeupon struck Tom
on the cheek, burying the nails
into the flesh and plowing sew
eral deep burrows across his
face and nose. Tom went down
for the count; Leroy ran IN
his cell and closed the door.
A doctor was called and the

Mr.. Fisher expressed his disgust at
the proposal and turned angrily

There are cases of record of
foreign women paying the American
men to take them in the g-uise OF
wife, and one instance is reported
of a white woman Offering $500 to
an American negro to present her to
the authorities as his wife and take
her to the United States.
Against the promise of success
which beckons unscrupulous foreign
women an easy way to enter the
United States, there are impressive
examples of the way the law works
hardships upon native-born American
women who have lost their citizen
ship through marriage with
foreigners.
l have in mind the exasperating
situation of an American born wom-
an of refinement, native of Ohio,
who became the wife of a wealthy
Spanish gentleman prior to 1922 and
came to Havana to make her home
with MIN. The husband has lived
here for 20 years. but has retained
his allegiance to Spain. These absurd
conditions exist:
If her husband shcrld reuource
Spain and become citizen of Cuba
she would automatically enjoy the
right to enter the United States. Ter
husband, as naturaliZed Cuban,
would have to stay outside. If the
husband should die or divorce her
she could resume her American citl-
zenship.
But as long as She behaves her
