PAY POLL TAXES But FAIL
TO REGISTER TO VOTE

RICH ND, Va, May IL
(ANP)-A booklet on 'the voting
status of Negroes in Virginia" re-
vealed that while more than 41,000
paid poll taxes to vote here in 1914,
only $4,000 registered.
The booklet was prepared by DR..
Luther P. Jackson for the Virginia
Voters league. Some cases of regis
trars refusing to register voters
were cited but, on the other hand,
DR.. Jackson said that the over
whelming majority of registrars
"draw no color line" today.
Of a group Of 178 who paid poll
taxes here, 80 per cent were Ne
groes. Many of these had not pre-
viously been assessed for poll taxes,
which means that the cost of pay
ing for the three-year-period plus
penalty was S5.01. The rush to pay
poll taxes here is in preparation for
the November elections and the
August primary.
According to report 1851 Ne
groes have met the poll tax require
ments out of 130,176 of voting age.
In the counties, 28,228 of the 1885,
Sal of voting age have met the re-
quired payment.
The local score stands 1851 paid
up out of the 80, ,489 eligibles. There
is no report on the number of regis
tered.
perhaps the most aggravated
case in the state exists at the Black
stone in Nottoway county," DR..
Jackson revealed. "Here the regis
trar has refused to register num-
Der of college graduates, teachers at
Blackstone, on the grounds that
they failed to pass his examination.
This one case is highly exceptional. "

PAY NE FOR FUNERAL
and GO FREE WIDOW
Tells MATES SLAYER

NEW YORK, May IL (ANP)-
A woman whose husband was shot
to death during a Lenox avenue
"crap game" two years ago asked
General Sessions Judge Saul Streit
to allow the victims slayer to go
free because the latter had agreed to
pay her $3.50 spent for the funeral.
She was Mrs. Elizabeth Colding,
whose husband, Carl, was shot
through the heart when he refused
to pay $40 gambling debt.
The convicted slayer, who plead
ed guilty to first degree manslaugh-
ter, was Alexander Hassed, 10. His
lawyer had informed Judge STREET
that "she isn't interested in his go
ing to Jail, she is more interested in
getting this $15O back"
Mrs. Colding, waiting outside the
courtroom with her small child, left
the corridor in tears when told that
her request had been denied by
Judge STREET who said:
