RAGE SEGREGATION
PLAN IN ATLANTA
ATLANTA, Ga., April 11. —Can the
Southern cities, or any cities, for that
matter, separate negroes from white
. people in residence sections? Atlanta
! ai d numerous other Southern cities
await with interest and concern the
United States supreme court’s answer
to this question.
A case involving the constitutional
ity of race segregation ordinances
passed by the city council of Louis
ville, Ky., was argued before the
United States supreme court yester
day. The court’s decision will proba
bly determine the constitutionality of
similar ordinances passed by the au
thorities of Atlanta, Baltimore and a
number of other cities in the South.i
Atlanta city council recently passed a
segregation ordinance and heated dis
cussion on account of its violations
has been going on for several days.
Mor t of the ordinances on segrega
tion are practically the same m their
previsions as the Atlanta ordinance.
They prohibit negroes from residing in
blocks occupied by a majority of ;
white people and prohibit white people!
from residing in blocks occupied by a
majority of negroes. The black sha-|
dow, it is claimed, has caused white 1
residents on several Atlanta streets to
sell their property at a loss and move;
away. The '‘Jim Crow” law has neve. !
been passed in Georgia, as no trou
ble has been experienced by negroes I
who are required to take rear seats oi l
ti e street cars and seldom if ever, I
presume to sit near the front of the'
car. i

JUDGE HARPER TURNS
DOWN BLIND TIGERS
I
Two “blind tiger” cases were argued
before Judge W. M. Harper in extra-i|
1 (
ordinary motions recently, and in both I (
instances the motions for new trials I
were denied. The cases were those of 1 1
the State vs. John Minyard and the i
i
State vs. Cooper Reese. 1i
11
Both of these cases had been before i
11
the Court of Appeals and had been re- )
ported adversely, and the extraordin
ary motions before Judge Harper)
curries as a final action, and it looks |
now as though the violators of the law
will have to pay the penalty.
