quotes one preacher as saying:
II car upon the colored citizens

charge Of operating a boarding

y" his right hand lieutenant,
were exonerated, Monday. The
courts, after hearing the case, de-
cided that there was insufficient
evidence to support the charges Of
the existence Of a state Of negli-
gence in the house in question up
on which Magistrate Burke had
held the defendants in $500 bail
each in Harlem Court, several
weeks ago, and dismissed the case.
IN a special interview with
colored newspaper association re-
porter which was arranged at her
own request, Faithful Mary bran
ded the whole case as nothing but
a preiudicial frame up. Branding
the whole accusation as false, she
declared that she was not really
boarding and maintaining children
as was alleged but that several
mothers and their children were
staying in the building in question
at IA West 126th street, as well
as in several other buildings on
the same street.
She insisted, even as she did in

said, and her mind and health
were almost gone. one day, how

ENID SCOTTSBORO
DEATH PENALTY
UPSET BY COURT

WASHINGTON, Apr. 1 lSpec-
ial)-The United States Supreme
Court today reversed for the Sc
cond time the convictions and the
death sentences Of two of the
Scottsboro eolored boys accused Of
raping two white girls holding this
time that the state court erred in
not quashing the indictments.
Since colored persons in Alabama
are not permitted to serve on jur-
les, the court held. they are dem
led equal protection of the law
in violation Of the 18th amend
ment.
The Judgment of the court was
a great victory for the colored
race and the radicals throughout
the country,
Theory Of Law Expounded
Under the theory of law ex-
pounded by Chief Justice Hughes
in the scottsboro cases colored
person in Alabama, presumably,
could commit wholesale murder or
any other crime with IMMUNITY so
far as the courts are concerned,
for a motion to quash the indict-
ment would have been sustained.
Once before the Supreme court
reversed the convictions of Clar-
ence Norris and Haywood Patter-
SON, along with five other coiored
men, convicted Of rape in jackson

on the ground that the defendants
were not allowed time to consult.

son were tried a second time and
their convictions were reversed to-
day, with instructions for further
proceedings in accordance with
the Supreme courts findings. This
win mean quashing the indict-
ments.
Discrimination Seen
Chief Justice Hughes opinion
in the Norris case held that the
defendant adduced evidence on the
motion to quash, that there was
an unconstitutional discrimination
against colored persons in the adj
ministration of the state statute

citizens of good character and

WASHINGTON, D. c., April /
The right of a political party to
determine who shall be eligible for
membership was upheld in a de-
cision handed down by the U. s.
Supreme Court today. The deci-
sioa vitality effects the political
Suture Of Negroes especially in
the Southern states.
0ecision in Franchise Case
In this case, R. r. Grovey, col
ored man of Harris county, Texas.
was suing the county clerk, Albert
Townsend, for $40 damages, ap-
parently his conception Of the val
ue of a vote, because the latter de-
MED him an absentee ballot. The
Democratic state convention, on
May "a. 1882, had adopted a reso-
luton providing that all white ci-
items who We're qualified to vote
were eligible for membership in
tie party. and Grovey was denied
ballot because he was not a
white citizen.
The Supreme courts opinion,
read by Mr.. Justice Roberts, said:
sThe state Supreme court de-
clared that a proper view Of the
election laws of Texas and their
history required the conclusion
that the Democratic party in that
state Is a voluntary political asso-
citation and BY its representatives
assembled in convention has the
power to determine who shall be
eligible for membership and as
such eligible to participate in the
party primaries. We take that
view of the Texas law"
Claims Amendment Violated
Grovey's contention was that be-
ing barred from the primaries
was tantamount to being barred
from a vote at all, in violation of
the 14th amendment, because the
general election in Texas is lin
significant"
The Supreme court, however,
said the Democratic party could
make its own rules, that the leg
islature had no authority over its
membership. Previously the court
had ruled invalid state law bar
ring colored persons. A state can
not deny colored persons the right
of franchise, but a party can.
This sweeping decision as to
what a political party can do led
to immediate speculation about
the IDEAS it might inspire in some
dictator like Huey Long of Louis
lana.
