DIAL TELEPHONE SYSTEM
Does Not Share Colleagues View
40 Expressed in Order for
Their Removal.

The dial telephones, which the Senate
recently ordered removed from the
Senate end of the Capitol on motion of
Senator Glass Of Virginia, hold no fears
for one member Of that body, Senator
Copeland, Democrat, of New York.
Senator Copeland recalled having
used the dial system for q long time in
New York and expressed the belief that
the dials put into use here were simpler
in one respect to operate He said that
here only two letters of the exchange
must be dialed. whereas in New York
1t was necessary to dial three letters.
The New York Senator compared the
discussion Of the dial telephone upon
its appearance in washington to the
new money placed In circulation when
the size of paper currency was reduced,
He said that people talked about the
new money at first, but that they have
become accustomed to 1t and no longer
notice IT,

PARIS, Feb. 2l.-Efforts OF
Jane Aubert, French actress, to
divorce Nelson Morris Of Chicago,
were continued in the first tribu-
nal of Paris today when her attor-
neys appealed against the deci-
sion of the Versailles divorce
court, which declared itself in
competent to handle the case.
Morris lawyers were fighting to
prevent the case from being tried
in Paris, which would force the
actress to abandon her suit, as
she has no legal domicile except
in Paris.
Meanwhile, Morris suit against
the Palace theater, where his wife
is the star of Good News" will
be heard early next week. In an
effort to force his wife to aban-
don the stage, the Chicagoan has
sued the theater for 5000 francs
$4,000 damages for each perfor-
nance in which she appears.

only six weeks, and reserved head
quarters in the Ritz hotel only for
that period. The delegation occupied
fifty-two rooms used as Offices and
twenty-four as living quarters.
Unless the conference is expe-
dited, an awkward situation con-
fronts the Americans and the hotel
management, which needs the
rooms by April IS, when the regular

prices may have to be raised, the
Americans now being accommodated

LEGAL STATUS
OF NEGRO AIRED
IN LIBEL CASE
West Coast Paper Fights
to Set Standing on
Par With Whites.

b. ScriDp8-Hoi10rd Newspaper Alliance
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2l.-For
the first time since Lincoln's eman-
cipation proclamation a court today
was asked to fix the legal status Of
the American Negro as equal to
that Of the white man.
This issue was presented in a 175-
page brief prepared by Sidney Nc
Mechen Van Wyck Jr., counsel for
the San Francisco News, in defense
Of a libel action filed by one Louis
Gomez. demanding $4,000 damages
for a story in which he was de-
scribed as "a Portuguese Negro"
The contention is that the appella-
d ton NEGRO" is false and defama-
tory and caused him contempt,
fidicule, shame, modification and
obloquy"
Van Wyck did not question the
fact Of Gomez's alleged whiteness.
He based his defense on the simple
question: Is 1t libelous in the
United States Of America, sixty
seven years after emancipation, TO
refer to a white man as a Negro?
The issues raised, thinks Van
Wyck, are as important for the
Negro as any since the bred Scott
decision.
Defines Stand
THE standing of the American
Negro on the date Of publication of
this article, oct. IS. 1929, is here up
for judicial appraisal" Van Wyck
told the court. "Will the highest
brarteh Of government in California
rate the American Negro of today
as infamous adjective equivalent
to obloquy)2 If the American Negro,
on Oct. 10, 1929, was neither con-
temptible, ridiculous, nor infamous,
but was a human being, entitled to
respect, then no libel has been COM
mitted If he was, Louis Gomez
has been libeled.
ITO hold the word Negro libelouS
IN itself, If applied TO white man,
Is to place brand upon the Negro
race"
Van Wyck recalled that there
have been nineteen court decisions
HI COuO4l-ll OldbCo AOuN1ll1S bliC
question of libel in the use of the
word Negro" seven before eman-
cipation and eleven following The
first was in 1891 in South Carolina
and the last in 1919 in Oklahoma,
and all these decisions held the
word Hbelous if applied to white.
Asks for Ruling
In only one case has a court ruled
otherwise. an Ohio case in 1918.
Thus, should the San Francisco
superior court rule favorably to the
Negro, it viii be the first ruling of
the kind in 112 years. The point
never has been passed upon by the
United States supreme court.
THE case thus raises the whole
question of the advance and accom-
plishments Of the Negro in Amer
lea" Van Wyck said
Nov for the first time since
Abraham Lincoln gave freedom to
the American Negro and two-thirds
of a century since his emancipation
proclamation, the courts of a state
outside the south are to pass upon
the wisdom of Lincoln's gift of free
dom ana say whether the American
Negro has justified, after these
many years. the hopes and beliefs
of the great emancipation.

LONDON, Feb. 21.-Delay In the
five-power naval conference, caused
by the French cabinet situation, may
prove embarrassing to the United
States delegation, it was disclosed
today.
While the delegation, at present,
is said to be running well within
the 100000 appropriated by Con-
gress for its expenses, the unex-
pected prolongation Of the confer
ence may cause unforeseen financial
burdens that possibly might make
supplemental appropriation neces-
Sary.
The most Immediately embarrass-
