How ever. 1t was pointed out at the hearing Q month ago. one colored person sued theater and received $1 damages. It cost him more to sue than he received, naturally.
 The bill to be passed In the house of representatives this com ing week provides for the arrest and finding of any persons who re- fuse to give colored persons equal rights in every way with white peo- pie.

BESSIE SMILES
At MATE SHE
WOULD KILL

CHICAGO, July 20 G.N.S0.-
All dressed up in a stunning "go
to court frock of blue with pink
and white printed flowers and
with her platinum blonde hair
carefully marcelled, Bessie OpaS
went to trial today with three
youths for conspiring to kill her
husband for his insurance.
A more than interested on
iooker was Marion OpaS. the hus-
band, in whose honor the State
alleges, Bessie would now be
wearing widows weeds if the
plot had not been exposed by a
babling conSpirator.
The other three defendants are
Dominick zullo, 10; John De Sal
70, II, and Angelo Masso, 81.
Bessie looked over the house"
and picked out her husbands
face from the mass of spectators.
She smiled a very wifely smile,
but Opas frowned and looked
away.
All four defendants pleaded not
guilty to the charge Of plotting
to slay Opas, who owns an auto
mobile garage and salesroom and
was insured for 100000.
Mrs. Opas, baSking at first in
the notoriety attending her arrest
and expose, allegedly admitted
the intended murder because her
husband was unkind to her. She
was force to marry him, she said,
when she was only a schoolgirl.
