Woman Files Suit
Against Louisiana
University

Baton Rouge, La. - (SpeciaD-
Declaring that refusal to be allow
ed to attend is Medical School be-
cause of race or color violated the
Federal 14th Amendment, Viola
Johnson, youthful graduate South
ern University, today filed Suit
against Louisiana State Universi-
ty at the District Court in New
Orleans.
University Officials, including
President w. B. Hatcher declined
to comment on the case, but it
was learned that the University
board of Supervisors had been an
ticipating for some time that such
a suit which would bring to a
head protests against the South
ern custom of providing separate
schooling for white and Colored-
would be filed.
State officials when questioned
regarding the matter poined out
that the Louisiana Legislature
this year had provided $4,000 a
year to send it's Negro citizens
to professional or graduate school
in other states when none was a.
valuable for them in Louisiana.
State Education Supt. John E.
Coke reported that Viola John
sons name was not among the
1O9 Negroes who had applied for
aid under the grant, which he
said probably would be distribut-
ed on a basis of the difference IN
cost of going to another state for
such training.
At the time the appropriations
bill was before the 1916 Legisla-
ture. members of the house Edu-
cation and appropriations Com
mittee approved it after discus
sion as to it's values in prevent
ing Court action such as that
seen today.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT Once in great while
somebody walks UP to you ana
says something that makes you
think way down deep. So 1t was
last Saturday night when | park
ed in the corner booth of my
favorite Saturday night haunt for
a straight beer (my boss has fish
with his) This fellow, poorly
dressed in every way slid into the
booth facing me and asked me
polite like if / worked at the
Jackson Advocate. Being Christ
ian gentleman not giving to un-
necessary lying, l answered that
l did. WELL" he said, "Why
don't you all say something about
the way these Negroes treat you
when you spending your money
with em?" At first l thought he
meant the spot that we were in
and | was ready to give argument
because the service in the spot is
OK. But with further conversation
he convinced me that he meant all
places in general along the ole
avenue. They just didn't treat you
nice when you came in to buy
something. l listened to the fellow
talk for fully thirty minutes, and
/ didn't remember his name, but
l do remember the things he said.
Sal dhe, anywhere you go on
Parish street to buy something
from these people they act ike
they didn't particular whether you
buy it or not. If they don't need
the money why don't they close
up and give somebody else
chacne to make some" That a
part of what he said. l could go
on but l think you get the gen.
eral thought. The average Far
ish-Streeter knows what courtesy
means and he has the right to
spend his money where he gets
the most of it along with fair
prices and honest to goodness first
class service. Try not to judge
the character and worth of the
average Parish streeter by the
clothes he wears. If you don t
you'll get fooled the way l did
when the fellow sat in my booth
for a chat =.

March, that: II didn't tell them
who we were and neither did the
other officers
Griffin, as has a previous wit
ness, served as a character wit
ness for the two Blairs and Nor
ton, giving them regulations for
"peace and quiteude."
Later, when defense attorneys
asked Richardson to point out in
court those defendants he had
seen in Mink Slide, Richardson
identified the Blairs but said he
couldn't see James Morton. Judge
Ingram then ordered Morton to
rise, revealing himself, however,
when the defense objected.
If convicted the defendants face
possible terms of not less than
three or more than 21 years, to
be set by the jury
A 66-year old policeman, Wills
ford gave the jury Thursday his
version of how he and the other
officers were younded by gunshot.
Willsford, not yet fully recov-
cred from his wounds, said he
and three other officers walked
into the west end of Mink Slide
to investigate gunfire. They were
ordered to halt, he said, and had
done so when someone yelled
fire. So many shots were fired,
Willsford testified, that he could
not estimate the number.
The officers went to the area,
Willsford said, to protect the
colored people.
Upon questioning by defense
counsel he testified he had heard
the towns colored population
feared mob violence as a result Of
trouble earlier in the day and he
wanted to assure them he wasn't
going to let mob go down there"
Taking of testimony began last
Thursday after four months of
legal skirmishing and six weeks
of selection of an all-white jury.
All twenty-five defendants pleaded
innocent of charges of assault
with intent to kill or of being ac-
cessories before the fact.
"A. Alexander LOBBY, an attor-
ney, of Nashville, answered mot
guilty" each time indictments
were read against the defendants
by W. A. Harwell, assistant at
torney general.
The National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie and several other groups were
providing funds for the defense.
The first witness called by the
prosecution was Charles McKis-
sick, A, a Columbia farmer and
contractor, who brought along a
map of the Mink Slide area where
the rioting took place.
McKissick identified the map he
had prepared of Mink Slide. He
said on cross examination that
the map was made at the direc-
ton of Bumpus and included de-
tails Bumpus wanted, leaving 9TH
er things out.
, Defense efforts to question
Willsford about two lynchings
said to have occurred in Columbia
in the last 19 years were opposed
by Bumps and the objection was
upheld by Jud geIngram. At the
request of Mr. LOBBY the jury was
excused and LOBBY argued that
previous lynchings were important
to establishing the frame of mind
of colored people in Columbia.

Policemen / estify
To Ambush In
Columbia Hearing

hoWl ChCCuui 8, lCuu. \ANANI "a
Two policemen testified in Cir
cult Court here last Friday that
they were shot from ambush and
wounded one hour after they had
assured colored people of Colum-
bia, Tenn, that reports of i'm
pending mob violence were mere
rumors during the disturbance
there last February.
Their testimony was given dur
ing the second day of the trial of
twenty-five colored men who are
charged with being accessories be-
fore the fact and attempted MUIR
der in the first degree as the re-
suit of the incident which fol-
lowed the alteration between
Mrs. Gladys Stephenson and her
son, James, and William Flem-
ing, a white radio repairman.
The two officers also said that
previous to the time they were
shot two of the defendants, Ju-
Illus Blair and his son, Sol Blair,
civic and business leaders among
the colored people of Maury Coun-
ty, in which Columbia is situated,
told them ''to keep the white peo-
pie out of Mink Slide, because
we're ready for them.''
Mink Elide is the common name
for the colored business section
in Columbia in which four city
policemen were wounded when
they went into the district fol-
lowing reports of mob violence
February %.
Bernard O.. Stofel, 27-year old
war veteran, was the first wit
ness last Friday, and the third
witness called by the prosecution
after introduction of proof began
last Thursday morning.
He told the court of a visit
he and three other officers made
to Mink Slide about S:45 O'Clock
in the night and finding the street
crowded with colored people.
1--WE stopped the patrol car a.
bout midway down the street
where the largest group of Ne
groes were milling around" Sto-
fel stated. 1--WE could see that
about SO to rs were armed with
shotguns and rifles"
Samuel Richardson and Chief
of Police J. w. Griffin followed
Stofel to the witness stand after
the noon recess and testified in
practically the same vein.
Both these two, and Chief j..
Walter Griffin who later took the
stand before Circuit Judge Joe
M. Ingram, admitted under cross
examination that it was too dark
in Mink Slide to see who did the
| shooting.
Chief Griffin said he was pretty
sure he had called out: "This is
the police." just before the firing
started He told defense At
torney Maurice Weaver that he

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.---S-
Louis Cardinals yesterday dupIi-
Gated their annual antics in the
usual unpredictable race for the
National League pennant They
finally pulled up even with the
Brooklyn Dodgers after fighting
for weeks to accomplish the feat.
In past seasons, the Redbirds
renamed behind the leaders for
weeks, and even months, as the

Then, like a Jack sprlnging from

all opposition around the parks,
pull up even with the leaders and
finally march triumphantly to an
other league championships after
Ia ''dog-eat-dog" fight down the
stretch.
This year seems to be no diff
ferent. The Cards have been how
ering close to the Buns for a long
time but just couldn't get up there
with them. Now with only about
thirty five more games to play,
they wipe out a game and half
lead held by the Dodgers and
throw the league into tie for
leadership. All this happened in
day and night games yesterday.
4 Brooklyn's slim lead went over
the ratings when the Redbirds
