was the center of attraction and the
secretary Of commerce of this vast ma
ton found himeslf listening with
interest to every utterance. And to
reveal that he was impressed he men,
toned and complimented Neal for his
talk.
Following a short talk by Mr..
Feiser, Red Cross chairman, the main
event got under way and when Mr..
Scipio Jones, we'll known Little Rock
attorney, arose to begin his speech,
preparatory to presenting Secretary
Hoover, deep hush fell over the audi
ence. The introduction was brief and
Hoover swept directly into his talk.
Glven ovation
Bareheaded, his face shining in the
sunlight, he stood there before that
crowd and for half an hour he talked,
man to man. And when it was over,
Hoover was accorded an ovation seem
ingly impossible from such a crowd.
Several minutes after he had finished
the applause was still ringing in the
air.
It was Hoover's first public appear
ance in Pine Bluff.
Immediately after the celebration
Secretary Hoover and his party left
Pine Bluff for Southeast Arkansas,
from where they will later go to Lou
isiana and Mississippi on their inspec-
tion trip.

authorities argued that the exclusion
Of the Negro pupils from the Toms
River school was because all were from
one to three years below normal and
SO unruly and insubordinate as to con
stitute menace to school discipline.
The parents Of the children attacked
that contention and knocked it sky
high and declared that the building to
which the Negro children had been
sent was inadequate and dangerous to
their health. DR.. Logan stated that he
did not agree with the parents that the
building was inadequate. He even said
that its facilities were better than in
some Of the other schools.

DR.. Logan Makes Ruling

Ruling on the exclusion of the Ne
gro pupils DIR. Logan said: an the
commissioners opinion the exclusion
from certain school and Segregation
in school by themselves under a
colored teacher, of all those tuition
pupils in certain district who are
colored, together with a number Of
colored pupils from another district,
inevitably raises the question or pre-
sumption that color is the peculiar
characteristic constituting the basis Of
exclusion. Such presumption is not
rebutted by proof on the part Of the
school board of certain mental or tenn
perament characteristics of the colored
pupils. Unless it is also proved that
such characteristics are peculiar to
such colored pupils and in no way
shared by the white children who were
left"

The State School Commissioner, DR..
John Logan ordered reinstatement in
the schools at Toms River the Negro

Negroes Stand Up for Rights
Negro residents Of Berkeley and
Dover townships resented the action Of
the school officials and protested vigor-
ously against this malignant segrega-
ton of their children. So intense was
the feeling aroused by the action Of the
county school authorities that the case
was carried to the State Supreme
Court, and was brought to the atten-
ton Of the State Legislature by SEN
ator Alexander Simpson, who conduct
ed the prosecution in the second trial
OF the famous HaIl-Mills murder case,
and who submitted a bill in the senate
prohibiting segregation. The measure
however, died in the committee on
judiciary. The decision Of the Supreme
Court has not as yet been handed
down.

MILLER DEFIED
BY SUCCESSOR
Former School Heads
Choice for Inspector Loses.

Defeat of any attempted dictation
on the part of Charles F. Miller,
indianapolis school superintendent,
of the policies of the State Superin-
tendent's office under Roy P. Wise
hart was seen in the outcome of
the first State education board
meeting attended by Wisehart yes
terday.
Going into executive session, the
board approved Eugene Butler,
Rushville, State high school in
Spector, and Don Hussey, louisville,
as his assistant. This was the Wise
hart slate. Miller, who resigned the
State superintendency to accept the
Indianapolis position, corfeyed with
Wisehart before the meeting.
He and Assistant State Superin-
tendent Fred GLADDEN. were said to
have backed L. o. Slagle, Lebanon.
for the position as assistant high
school inspector, a $4,000 job.
GLADDEN. was Millers choice as his
successor, but Governor Jackson APP
pointed Wisehart. A battle over to-
days appointments doomed, but did
not materalize. Slagle. who was at
the Statehouse, was said to have
State and district Republican
support, while the county organiza-
ton was for Hussey. Both men
are residents of Boone County.

COTTON SOURCE
OELOSS;'TIPS'
PASSED AROUND
Eastern Spectators Vic
tins, Lacking knowledge
of Southern Crop.
81 United Press

NEW YORK, Sept -S~-Cotton,
the principal staple Of the SUssA,
today was the source of financial
losses to- many Eastern spectators
whose knowledge of the plant It
self is as inconsiderable as that of
Broadway NANNY" singers.
For weeks the tip, "buy cotton"
has been circulated outside of the
usual trading market. Clerks, sales
men, tradesmen have invested
surplus cash, purchasing as many
bales as they could afford.
The tip was sound. In the past
four weeks cotton has advanced 7la
cents a pound to more than twice
the levels of last winter.
But because an economist en-
ployed by the Department of Agri-
culture in Washington guessed that
cotton prices would decline, recent
profits were wiped out in many
cases. the potential value of the
southern crop was reduced some
100000 and traders on the New
York and New Orleans markets in
dulged In a hectic stampede.
With yesterdays session now his
tory, leaders of the cotton exchange
were wondering today whether the
Government should assume the
function of predicting price
changes. Samuel T. Hubbard, Jr.,
president of the local exchange,
telegraphed Secretary Jardine of
the department of agriculture and
asked an explanation.
Hundreds of buying orders were
on hand when the report reached
the trading floors.

Judge Steps From Bench
to Help olUe Baby Tangle
Orders No Stone to. Be Left
Unturned to Help Mother
Identity Infant.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
CLEVELAND, Sept. 17.-Com-
mon Pleas Judge Carl v. Weygandt
stepped down from his bench Fri
day personally TO interview a
mother who is doubtful of the iden-
tity Of baby hospital officials say
is hers.
In laying aside his duties as a
3arist for the day, Judge Weygandt
said he would leave no stone ur.-
turned in arriving at solution of
the case. His reiterated previous
statements that he meant to re-
check the hospital records and in
formally question nurses and physi-
clans at the hospital.
May Make Blood Test
Mrs. Sam Smith has questioned
whether a baby girl said to be hers
by nurses at the Maternity hospital,
is the child that was born to her
three weeks ago. Mrs. Smith believes
, she is the mother of a baby boy and
states that physician told her at
its birth her child was a boy.
In his effort to get at the facts
of the case, Judge Weygandt late
Thursday appointed a committee of
four blood specialists to determine
whether a blood test would be
feasible in determining the baby's
maternity.
IF these physicians say blood
test will help, we can have them go
ahead with the test and perhaps it
may be possible to accept their YER
dict and reach an agreement"
Judge Weygant said.
Nurse Doesn't Remember
Judge Weygandt also announced
he will appoint physician to ex-
anime the physical characteristics
of Mr.. and Mrs. Smith and the dis
puted baby in an effort to discover
some physical resemblance which
may aid in solving the case.
A nurse who was present at the
birth of the baby said in Detroit
Thursday she did not remember the
sex of the child, but that Mrs. Smith
had admitted to her that "the girl
was her baby" A companion nurse
mad testified in court previously
that she had bathed the Smith
baby for eight days before she dis
covered its sex.
