Probably Unbalanced

Eugenia White is of slim build
and would not weigh more than
1870 pounds. Some people who
know her believe her to be some
what unbalanced at times. Game
Warden Hill claims that she used
awful language in denouncing him.
For our part, we hope that the
Police Department will see to it
that Negro-hating officers be de-
tailed to some other work. A
large proportion of the policemen
are friendly towards colored peo-
pie and can prevent trouble, while
some others would promote trou-

ed upon the police. Under the
law the deputy had right to
force an entrance, breaking in if
need be, and removing the fur
niture.
Furniture Secured
This accomplished the matter
would end. But one of Eugenia's
relatives signed up to take care
of the past due payments and the
property was not removed. The
whole case was a civil one and
not criminal one. Eugenia White
was guilty of contempt of the
Civil Justice Court. She could be
fined or imprisoned or both. She
was dragged from her own home
into a criminal court and punished.
The point raised was that with
conditions in this sections as they
are this hysterical woman and a
hot-headed police officer might
have precipitated riot, which in
turn might have led to the slaugh-
ter of many colored people in that
neighborhood when there was no
need of the same. According to
Game Warden j. H. Hills state
ment, Officer Burroughs knocked
the revolver from Eugenia Whites
hand at the time. He did not at
tempt to shoot her, although, un-
der the plea of self-defense, he
might have done so.

| had no idea that the publica-
ton of the account of the strange
case of Eugenia White had at
tracted so much attention in police
circles until l was approached by
two officers, one an ex-police Of
ficer, in the Police Court last Tues
day morning before the opening of
the court, which was presided over
by that veteran jurist, Judge H. A.
Maurice of Southside. They were
wrought up over our comment
upon cur criticism of Officer Bur-
roughs and said that they would

Should Have Shot Her

They alleged that Officer Bur-
roughs should have shot Eugenia
White when she drew gun on
him. They were Of the opinion
that 1 had no use for a police
officer. 1 insisted that I had great
respect for the Police Department
and for the officers composing the
same, but l insisted that men on
the force who had bitter hatred
of Negroes should not be detailed
for service in delicate cases, but
officers of conservative type
should be sent for this special
kind of duty among colored people.
Game Warden Hills Statement
They remarked what they would
do under similar circumstances, and
1 called their attention to their
oath to uphold the law. Game
Warden j. H. Hill thought that 1
had misrepresented him in the ar
ticle. He did not strike Eugenia
White. He had held one of her
hands. He explained how he hap
pened to be present at the time.
/ told him l had only quoted what
Eugenia White had said and would
be glad to publish his denial. He
had no antipathy to colored ,peo-
pie and he dealt fairly with them.

North Sheffield Hall at Yale
 Destroyed By Fire Early Today

Most of the fire confined itself to these two floors, but the first floor was badly damaged by water and smoke. The flames broke through the rear of the building and, mounting skyward, alarmed hundreds of students living in the neighborhood,
 The glare of the blaze was visible from all parts of the city, which brought thousands of people to the scene.
 North Sheffield hall, one of the old Sheffield school buildings, was built in 1874.
 Valuable naval instruments and ship models used by the Yale naval unit. housed on the third floor com prise the largest loss of the fire. Sev- eral torpcdocS used for instruction of the naval class were destroyed as well as over one hundred rifles.
 The fire was discovered by night fireman in an adjoining building. He was attracted by the noise of falling glass as the heat of the fire blew out several panes of glass in a window.
 A quantity of scientific material and instruments on the first floor were saved from damage by rubber coverings used by the firemen.
