Residence Fight
In Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, Cal, July 1S--
Through the ruling made by Judge
Stutsman in the case of George II.
Lettean and others against Pauline
Ellis and others who gave purchased
property in the Entwistle tract For
tieth street to Vernon avenue and
Avalon Boulevard east to Mckinley
avenue. will be permitted to hold
their property in spite of clause
in their deeds discriminating against
Race persons. &.
In the case, which was on trial
for several days, and one of eighteen
cases of similar nature to be tried
later, Judge Stutsman held for the
defendants on the grounds that they
have been going into the area, for
merly an eighty-acre rancho, since
1909, and that the clause relative to
Negroes and persons of Negro des-
cent prior to the Ellis case had not
been enforced. Therefore the heirs
who own the tract have waived their
rights to enforce 1t.
Lulu N. Letteau, original owner of
the tract, died on April %, 1911.
Her heirs are George II. Letteau.
Bessie f. Munger, J. B. Hinton.
Frederick T, Hinton and Eleanor FL.
Essick. When the tract was opened
there was provision that lots
should never be sold, rented or oceu-
pied by any person of Negro des-
cent Any violation would be cause
for forfeiture of the title.
AT the trial of the Ellis suit 1t
was shown that one of the lots pass
ed to Pauline Ellis and now is oc-
cupied by Race persons, also that
many other lots are occupied by
Negroes.
II other courts rule in pending
eases the same as Judge Stntsman
in the Ellis case, the Race dwellers
will be left free and undisturbed
