CHARGE WHOLESALE JIM-CROW
AT N. Y. COUNTY RESORT

White Plains, N. Y. Feb. IT
Charges that Negroes have been sys.
tematically barred, segregated. in
suited and even arrested at Playland
the million dollar Westchester coun-
ty watering place and amusement re-
sort. were placed before the West
chester county board of supervisors
here today by the Mt. Vernon branch
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
Witnesses were introduced by the
branch who testified to the follow
ing charges from their personal ex-
perience; that Negro citizens have
been barred from the picnic facilities
at Playland; that they have been de-
MED the use Of bath houses and the
beach; that they have been denied
concessions at the resort, and that
such concessions as they secured by
mail applications were cancelled
when their racial identity became
known; that they have been charged
more than the posted prices Of re-
freshments and told frankly that it
was being done because no Negro
patronage was wanted; and that bus
and ship transportation companies
have been instructed not to haul Ne
groes to the resort on pain Of having
their licenses revoked.
Playland is a public resort. built
with the taxpayers money. Thomas
H. Bridges, president Of the Mt. Yer

SCHOOL BOARD DISTRICT BILL REVIVED
SCHOOL BOARD DIS
BILL V
ED BY REP TEASOR
M OWENS
THE NEBRASKA LEGISLATURE
(by 0. ]. BURCKHARDT)

The ~forty-ninth session of the Ne
braska Legislature is setting a pre-
cedent that will make the political
world set up and take notice. They
are conserving on ammunition and
shooting direct at the BULBS eye.
Now there are doubtlessly some in
this session like there have been in
former sessions, that don't know
what it is all about. But when those
who do know get through explaining
there is but little excuse for anyone
voting ignorant on an important is
sue.
There is a Bill introduced by Rud-
olph Teasor Of Douglas known as
House Role Number 81, which provid-
es for the election of the school board
from districts. 1t read thus: "Mem-
bers Of said school board shall be
nominated and elected by a non-part-
isan ballot. For that purpose, the
election commissioners shall divide
the city Of Omaha into IL districts.
as nearly equal in population as may
be, and comprised of contiguous and
compact territory. At the primary
and general election in 1884 and ev-
cry A years thereafter, there shall be
nominatd and elected to said board
by the vote Of the qualified electors
in each respective districts to sue
coed the members whose terms of of
flee expire at that time"
This Bill is now up for the third
reading and if it passes, the Negroes
will have a splendid chance to be rep
resented on the school board. This
bill, at n time, was assigned to the
waste basket, but Representative
Johnny Owens linked up with Teasor
and took the floor and. with his orat-
orical persuasion, brought back this
Bill to the floor Of the House. At
this writing, it has a splendid chance
to become a law.
Van Kirk and Warmer of Lancaster
Senate, file 157. For an act to cor
rect the original plot Of the City Of
Lincoln. This Bill deals with a strip
of land running around the city of
Lincoln that, at the time the original
survey was left out because it was at
the time a swamp, but since then the
waters receded and a number of peo-
pie, both white and coIored, squatted
on this land and have made their
homes there for years. But Bill 157
would take all Of this land away
from the squatters and give it to
those who own land adjoining it. So
Mr.. Bradley, chief custodian Of the
senate, notified his colored friend
what was in the air and they got
busy, both white and black, and suc-
ceeded in getting said Bill amended.
So all OF these squatters can retain
their homes by beginning from now
on to pay taxes on the same.
The Negroes interest is being safe
guarded during this Legislature, as
in former times, thus for the race
has been given an equal break with
the rest Of the citizens.

NEGROES SEEK ENTRANCE LAW
SCHOOL OF N. CAROLINA U.

Durham, N. C. Feb. ia legal
battle to secur the entrance of Ne.
gro students to the law school Of the
University of North Carolina will be
launched here soon. Plans are all
aid and await the refusal Of the
university to accept application from
a qualified Negro student who already
has an application blank to be filled
out and deturned to the dean of ad.
missions.
The attorneys who are handling
the case r Conrad o. Pearson and
Cecil A. Mccoy Of this city. They
have the advice and assistance of the
National Association for the AID.
vancement Of Colored People. The
attorneys are basing their claim on
the United States Constitution and
upon the fact that the North Caro-
lima laws do not forbid education of
both ace at colleges and u~niversit-
les, but only at elementary and high
schools.
The plan to have Negroes seek en-
trance was given wide publicity in the
Greensboro, N. G. Daily News, and
the papers correspondent called the
young colored lawyers radical mem.
bers Of their race who are. Of couse,
members of the NAACP." The pa
per states: "The NAACP. has turned
some pretty spectacular tricks in its
time. It undoubtedly caused the de-
feat of Judge John j. Parker-they
brought down some Of the biggest Re-
publicans in the country" The art
icle gives the opinion that while the
Negroes may have a good case and
may have the advice of the best law
yers in the country. they can't pro-
vide tuition in other states for Ne
groes who wish to secure profession
al training not available within the
State.
