HIGH COURT DISMISSES
CURTIS RESIDENCE CASE

CONTINUED from page u
nouncing slavery and involuntary
servitude but not in other matters
protecting the individual rights OF
person of the Negro race.
AS to the contentious raised under
the fourteenth amendment, the opin-
ion said it had reference only to state
action and not to any action of pri-
vate individuals.
Court Lacks Jurisdiction.
For these reasons, Justice Sand
ford said, the constitutional amend
ment cited did not cover such trans
actions as that complained of and
did not bring before the court a
question upon which it had jurisdic-
ton to consider its merits.
The decision leaves open to the
complainant further proceedings in
the lower courts to force the sale
provided she can find some other
constitutional ground upon which to
proceed.
The case had attracted nationwide
attention, especially from number
of cities in which the issue had been
fought over locally.
