SUPREME COURT
BARS CHINESE IN

Uph5lds Ruling Of State
Supreme Court; No Law
Violated Opinion Says

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 22.-The
United States Supreme court upheld
the Mississippi state laws compelling
the segregation Of Caucasian and col
ored school children in reviewing tne
case of Martha Lunn, nine year olo
daughter of a Chinese American c1tl-
zen. The case came to the supreme
court from the supreme court in Miss
issippi which ruled that the girl could
not insist upon being classified with
Caucasian children under the state
constitution. 1t specifically requires
that there shall be separate schools 1or
Caucasian children and those OF other
races.
The Opinion
Chief Justice Taft said in part, &C
cording to the written opinion that the
question here is whether Chinese citi-
zen of the United States is denied e.
quail protection Of the laws when he is
classed among the colored races and
furnished facilities for education equal
to that offered all, whether white,
brown, yellow or black The chief JUS
tice continued that this pr oblem had
been passed on in other decisions and
"the decision is within the discretion

RIFT IN MILLS
MEMOR|ALRANKS

NEW YORK, Nov %. = Active sollc-
>itation for contributions to fund for
a memorial for Florence Mills has al
ready begun. In the midst OF this &C
tivity, according to reports, a serious
rift among members Of the stage ldoIs
profession has arisen which may result
in the whole perfect being abandoned.
At meeting held Tuesday at the
Lafayette theatre where fitting mem
orial was to be decided upon, partlcu-
lar stress was placed upon the activity
Of Earl Dancer, reported self-imposed
sponsor of the memorial movement. IN
formation was let out at that meeting
that he posed as particular trlend
Of the family despite the fact that
many members of his profession knew
him and his wife, Ethel Waters, to be
only casual friends of Florence Mills.
Dancer was blamed as having been IN
strumental in the purchased OF the
$4,000 casket for the deceased.
Those who attended me meeting Sug-
gested that Lew Leslie, manager Of the
late musical comedy star as the logical
man to handle an affair of this kind.
1t is beliveed that his influence along
Broaway will inspire many theatre
goers to give to the fund that will per-
petuate Miss Mills memory.

QUINN CHAPEL
WILL NOT ACCEPT
PASTOR STEWART
Church Seems Disposed
To Challenge Actions
Of Bishop Gaines

Old historic Quinn. Chicago'S Oldest A..
M. E. Church, was a scene OF disorder
and rebellion last Sunday morning. 1t
seems that the members Of Quinn do
not desire anC. are unwilling to accept
DR.. H. E. Steward as their pastor. DR..
Steward was recently assigned to lead
the flock at Quinn by Bishop A. L.
Gaines and as a result friction and
strife have been fomented. DiSsat-s-
faction over the Bishops appointments
has been made evident throughout the
whole diocese but at Quinn there ap-
pears to be more bitter determination
to challenge the actions of the Bishop
than elsewhere.
Service Halted
During the services last Sunday Dr..
Steward found an occasion to set aside
his spiritual tasks long enough to read
4 telegram to the congregation from
Bishop Gaines. The telegram as read
advised that a vote be taken in order
that it might be decided whether the
people would accept DR.. Steward as
Their pastor. One of DR.. Stewards

SEEK SUSPECT AS
JUDGE FINDS MAN
GUILTYOF ATTACK

James Brown, 80 years old, AGO Milton
avenue, a chauffeur by trade, was found
guilty of attempted robbery and assault
by Judge John P. McGoorty Friday af-
ternoon in the Criminal Court. Brown
was accused by Edward Klinge, 1908 N.
Irving avenue, who charged that the
prisoner had attacked him under the
elevated tracks and beat him up in an
attempted robbery on August Is at 1890
p. m.
Since two witnesses named a man by
the name of James Watts as the aSsail-
ant of Klinge, the judge withheld SEN
tence to give police and the defense
time to bring in this suspect. One wit
ness, ErneStine SHARPNESS, declared that
she had seen James Watts commit the
assault but had said nothing to the po-
lice about their mistake in arresting
Brown because she was afraid they
would lock her up as witness.

FOR 'PSyCH' TEST

George Kelly, 3515 South Parkway,
was ordered to the city psychopathic
hospital Saturday morning when ar
raigned before Judge Francis Borrelli
at 9th street court on charge of dis
orderly conduct.
Kelly was arrested at the instigation
of Andrew M Monson, an employee
of the E. E. Baldwin Realty Company
at 3540 Indiana avenue. The complain
nant testified that Kelly loitered about
the entrance of the office and had at
tempted to follow one Of the young
women employed there.
The defendant denied the charges and
tried to prove that he was employed.
However his previous bad record and
his inability to explain his partial con
fession to the arresting officers caused
his sentence.
