Pennsylvania Civil
Rights Law Held
To be constitutional


PITTSBURGH, Pa.-The Penn
sylvania civil rights law. passed
in 1885 and signed by Governor
Earle. was declared constitutional
here last week by the quarter ses-
sions Court of Allegheny county,
Judges Braham and Mccain pre-
siding.
The test of the constitutionalty
arose when John Psaras who OPP
crates a restaurant here sought
new trial after being convicted
Of refusing to serve cup of cof-
fec to a 2egro. In his motion
for new trial. Psaras charged
that the state civil rights lasU
was unconstitutional, first, be-
cause it deprived him of his pro-
perty without due process of law,
contrary to the 14th amendment
of the Constitution. The court
held that the Pennsylvania law
and all similar laws had been held
to be constitutional, and cited nu-
merous cases upholding this view
It declared that laws under the
police power always interfere to
degree with property rights, but
are not condemned on that ac-
count unless this interference a.
mounts to a practical confisca-
ton" Psaras also alleged that
the law was unconstitutional be-
cause its title was not inclusive
enough. The court threw out this
contention, stating that the title
of an act need not be a general in
dex to the contents but is suffic-
lent if it relates to one general
subject.
Following a delian of the mot
ion for new trial, Psaras was
brought up for sentence and was
given a suspended sentence and
placed on probation for one year.
Judge Braham stated that he
would have fined Psaras $50 If
he could do so under the law, but
he could not conscientiously i'm
pose the minimum fine of 500
specified by the law. Hence he
suspended sentence. Psaras must
pay the costs of the court action
which are estimated to be be-
tween SIS and 500.
The case originated January %,
1886, when Walter Wilson, a coll
ored man, and Torrance McManus,
a white man, were cleaning snow
from the streets of Pittsburgh.
They went into the Psaras res
taurant and ordered a cup of cof-
fee each. Psaras, who was be-
hind the counter, went back into
the kitchen without serving the
two men and called the white man
back and told him the restaurant
did not serve colored people. The
two men then left. In court Nc
Manus testified to this, but Psaras
defended himself by saying that
he had merely told McManus that
the two pccn would have to occupy
a booth near the kitchen If they
wanted to be served. The jury
heard both versions and decided
against Psaras.

BROWN COUNTY LAND
BUYING is DEFENDED
Manion Says Owners Wei
come Chance to Sell.

The majority of land owners in
Brown County welcome the chance
to sell their poor acres to the Rural
Resettlement Administration, de-
clared Clarence +. Manion, Indiana
director of the National Emergency
Council, last night in an address
over station WFBM.
The talk was in answer to charges
that acquisition costs Of the sub
marginal land have been too high,
and that the program was form
of RECOMMENDATION that disturbed the
normal course of governmental
function and human endeavor in
the areas affected.
In the last Is years Brown County
has received more than 100000 in
state aid tax money, while total
assessed valuation of the county is
only $1,500,000, Mr.. Manion said.

eral governments without the coun-
ties being called upon for contribu-
lions.
The fund estimate for the blind
is 100000, the same amount now
being expended, to be divided be-
tween the state and counties and
the Federal government. The esti-
mate for child aid calls for an ex-
penditure of S2,400,00n by the state
and counties and $l,200,000 by the
Federal government, as against the
$350,000 now being spent. The state
is expected to save $150,000 in the
blind pension administration
through the benefit of Federal aid
S1,0O6,7O5 for Infirmaries
Expenditures for county institu-
lions need not necessarily be af-
fected by the social security pro-
gram, according to the Governors
committee.
County inflrmaries cost $1,006, 705
in the fiscal year 1885 and county
orphans homes 1888, 1899 in the same
period.
Aid for children, estimated at
$2,400,000, is expected to absorb the
$679,O95 spent during the last fiscal
year for mothers ai6 and institu-
tional care for children.
The latter sum, however, affects
only approximately $500 children
while the number included in the
social security program estimate is
approximately 10000. It is esti-
mated that approximately 10000 Of
these children will be taken from
relief rolls, thus bringing about a
direct saving from that source.
AT present there are approximate
ly $1,000 aged men and women re-
ceiving small old-age pensions I'M
der the state law. Except for a
small minority made eligible under
the resident clause change from a
Is to five-year provision, it is esti-
mated at majority of the addi-
tional 1890 scheduled for pensions
also will come off relief rolls.

JACOBY TO FACE
JURY TOMORROW
Alleged AccompIices Also to
Go on Trial; Defense
Denied Delay.

Selection of jury to try Forrest
Jacoby, AL Head, John Head and
Jerry Dukes, charged with robbing
the William H. Roberts & Sons
Dairy last August, starts tomorrow
in Criminal Court.
A venire of so was drawn yester-
day.
Several days were required to
select a jury in December. Judge
Frank P. Baker ordered this Jury
discharged when a woman juror was
unable to attend due to sickness in
her family.
Monday Clyde c. Karrer, attorney
for Jacoby asked that the trial
again be postponed as some of the
defense witnesses had been in an
automobile accident in Illinois and
lack of time prevented taking of
dispositions. Judge Baker refused
and ruled that the dispositions could
enter the records any time during
the trial provided a deputy prosecu-
tor was present when they were
taken.
In addition to charges he now
faces, Jacoby has been indicted in
the robbery of the Hamilton Harris
Co. of $4,000 in cigarets; the Inter
national Grocery Co. of $500; Dill
ing & Co. of $1,000; Kiefer-S Stewart
Co. of $2045 and a Beech Grove
bank messenger of $4,000.

ent practice includes $50.
The nearest large city is Rich
mond, Is miles away, but Rich
mond, Newcastle and Winchester
offer hospital facilities if surgery or
disqualification is necessary.
DR.. King to Remain
DR.. King is general practitioner
and surgeon. He has practiced in
Economy for years, but two years
ago left for other Indiana towns,
and only recently has returned to
Economy. Whether or not the plan
goes through, DR.. King expects to
remain at his Economy practice.
The contracts will call for quarter

tractual practice aSS came his way.
For the SIS annually, the unit
family, all dependent on the head
and living under one roof, would
receive medical attention, both
curative and preventive. and sur
gerry. Chronic illness also would be
treated.
Regular Examinations Required
However, in the case of surgery,
DR.. King would be paid by the pa
tient So trip to hospitals in Rich
mond, Winchester or Newcastle, al
though his surgeons work would not
be extra. The patient would be re-
CURED to pay for disqualification.
Each person under contract would
be required to submit to physical
examination once yearly, and all
children under would be irnmun-
lied for smallpox and diphtheria
without additional charge.
Serum for immunization for any,
thing else to children under 5, or for
anything to those over five, would
be provided at COST.
The contract requires that all
children from senior high school age
down be 1mmunlzed against small
poX and diphtheria, and pay the cost
of the serum.
Prenatal Care Included
Prenatal care is included in the
annual fee, but there is an addi-
tional $40 delivery charge the pa
tent must pay extra.
In case of a bone fracture, if the
physician decides an X-ray is neces-
sary, the contract makes it obliga-
tory on the part of the contracting
patient to have and pay for the
X-ray.
Mr.. Briggs said today that the
committee composed of himself and
other laymen soon will begin to can
vass the families of the town for
signers.
He said the experiment is largely
in preventive medicine on a cooper

hmm and talk" Previously Kim
berling had visited Hauptmann al
most daily. His staying away now
apparently was calculated to break
the German carpenter.
Kimberling said that after the
electrocution Hauptmann's body
would be dressed for burial in a
parole suit" The raroie suits are
made in the prison workshop and
cost the state about $40 each. They
customarily are issued to men re-
leased after serving their terms.
Hauptmann will be prepared for
the execution Friday afternoon.
Two ministers will accompany him
to the chair. They will be DR.. John
Goorley, chaplain of the prison, and
the Rev. John Matthiesen, pastor of
the Trinity Lutheran Church of
Trenton.
Hauptmann's attorneys virtually
admitted that they believed further
court action futile, but planned to
fight until the last. The Supreme
Court already has ruled, in effect,
that Hauptmann's constitutional
rights were not violated in his
Pennington trial last January and
a lower Federal Court refused last
night to rule on the same ques-
ton again.
Hoffman Lone Hope
The lower court decision was in
the form of a denial by Judge War
rem Davis of the Federal Circuit
Court of Appeals, of petition for
writ of habeas corpus and an ap-
plication for a stay of execution.
The court said the requested action
would be a reversal of the Su-
preme Court by a lower court. He
said he believed Hauptmann had
fair trial.
Gov Hoffman thus became
Hauptmann's one hope. His only
other possible avenues of escape are
an appeal to the New Jersey Su-
preme Court in Pennington for a
new trial and an appeal to judge
Of the Federal Circuit Court of APP
peals for writ of probable cause. u
Lawyers thought court appeals
would be useless-that they could
not win even a delay.
The Governor, it was learned, has
asked for legal advice on whether
he may grant a reprieve and is
continuing his independent study
of the case.
Two Letters Revealed
He handed to reporters photo
static copies of two letters the
Bronx school teacher wrote to I'M
identified persons. Both indicated
Condor believed his correspondent
knew something of the Lindbergh
kidnapping. Hoffman did not reveal
where he obtained the letters.
The evidence of his continued in
tereSt in "Jafsie," who sailed sud-
denly last Friday for Central and
South America, and Wilentz' state
ment caused new confidence in some
quarters that he will order Haupt-
mann's execution delayed until Con-
don can be questioned again.
1.-THE Governor expects that DR.
Condor will return voluntarily,
graphically said William S. Conklin
Hoffman's secretary.
