"IMPORTANT RULING
BY NEW YORK COURT:
Isaac Goldgraben keeps in Harlem a |
I restaurant where colored persons are ,
| served with meals. Arthur Cohn, who
; is described in a legal paper herein- '
j after refrred to as "a Hebrew white !
, person,” went into Goldgraben's res- !
taurant with a colored man named I
] Williams for the purpose of getting a j
| meal. The head wajter refused to j
serve Cohn and Williams on the
| ground that it was “against the rules j
of the house to serve a mixed party.” j
i Cohn brought suit against Goldgra- j
j ben in the Second District Municipal !
j court, where the complaint -was dis- I
missed after a trial before a jury. The !
plaintiff took the case to the Appel
l late division of the Supreme Court, j
and that bench has just upheld . the
i judgment of the lower court. The ma- I
! jority opinion is written by Mr. Jus
| tice Whitaker, who says that “there
was no refusal to serve because of
: color or race”:
"The plaintiff was white and his \
companion was colored. They were i
both refused service, so it cou'.d not ]
have been on account of color. * * i
The rule that ‘mixed parties’ should |
not be served applied to white as well ■
■ as colored. There was no discrimina
j tlou as to one color in favor of an
other.
“The record plainly indicates that
both parties would have been served
at separate tables and that plaintiff |
knew this and refused service at a ■
separate table. How can it be said
then that he was refused service on
account of his color.
II appears that the original com
plaint alleged that the plaintiff “was
a descendant of the Jewish or Hebraic j
race” and that refreshments was re j
fused him because of his race. This |
m latter allegation was abandoned at j
the trial and the case was decided on j
the matter of color only.
The decision of the appellate court
was not unanimous, for Mr. Justice
Bijur dissented as follows:
“The uncontradicted evidence in
this casp is to the effect that plaintiff
a white man. as the guest of one
Williams, a colored man, went to de
fendant’s restaurant to be served. At
j the time they entered all the guests
j and waiters in defendant’s restaur
ant were colored. As plaintiff and
Williams seated themselves the head
waiter said to them: ‘Gentlemen, 1
am sorry 1 cannot serve you. It is
against the rules of the house to serve
a mixed party.’ Williams testified:
"They said: * * * they cannot
serve a colored and white person to
gether.’ Whereupon plaintiff and
Williams, after some discussion, left
the premises.
“The Civil Rights law, as amended
by Chapter 265 of the Laws of 1913,
Section 40, provides that no owner o£
a restaurant 'shall directly or indi
rectly refuse, withhold from or deny
to any person any of the accommoda
tions, advantages or privileges there
of * * * on account of race,
creed or color.’ It seems to me I*o be
clear that plaintiff was, on the occa
sion in question, denied the privileges
of defendant’s restaurant because he
was white. The - defendant virtually
said to plaintiff ‘if you were colored
I and came here with Williams you
would be served, but being white,
we will not serve you.’ The law nat
■ urally does not undertake to define
or eve.n to indicate which if any race
or color fnay be regarded as superior.
Its sole and manifest purpose is to
prevent discrimination on that ac
count.”.
| It would seem to the laymen that
Mr. Justice Bijur’s point is well taken
and that Mr. Cohn should not have
been denied the accommodation, ad
vantage or privilege of sitting at the
same table with Mr. Williams.

CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION
REACHED WOMEN WORKERS
A committee of women represent
ing organizations of Paterson, N. J.,
arranged a whirlwind social hygiene
campaign in June, under the direc
tion of the Social Hygiene Division
of the Commission on Training Camp
Activities.
Seventy-two lectures on social hy
giene were given in six cays by four
I physicians. Factory girls, high-school
; girls, and groups of citizens were
organized for altendance at these
■ lectures, which were preceded by a
m mass meeting of men and women.
Twenty-eight factories permitted lec
tures to be delivered to women em
ployees during the noon hour.
The lectures to women were given
by representatives of the Section on
Woman’s Work of the Social Hygiene
Division, Dr. Katherine B. Davis, di
rector, and those to men by lecturers
employed by the Section on Men’s
Work, William H. Zjnseer, director.
These sections carry on educational
j work in communities for the Social
Hygiene Division under the direction
of Maj. William Snow.
It has been decided by the Kentucky
Court of Appeals that the corporation
taxes of the state must be divided
j among the colored as well as the white
J schools. The present law directed that
'corporation tMfti go exclusively lo
, white schools^k
THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING
NEW /[ALAND NOW
POPULAR WITH THE
AMERICAN TOURISTS
New Zealand is now the goal of
i many tourists from the United States,
! more having visited the Dominion in
i 1917 than in previous years, accord
ing to Commerce Reports, which say:
“The New Zealand government has
a very complete tourist department,
with two equally good tourist sta
tions—one at Rotorna in North Island
■ and the other in the vicinity of Mount
I Cook in South Island. These are not
j only very popular for New Zealanders,
| but for Australians anti Americans as
! well.
j “The rapid development of the rural
j districts of New Zealand by the farm
j ers, dairymen and stock raisers, to
gether with the genera: use of the
motor car, has brought to the fore
| the necessity of better highways. The
! campaign of thi3 improvement will
open in earnest on the return of the
j soldiers at the close of the war.”
o
1 EDITORS CONFERENCE
GIVES BIG RESULTS
i
(Continued from Page 1)
electrified the entire country as it has
seldom been thrilled before.
It will be remembered by those
familiar with the proceedings of the
I conference at the New Interior De
partment building that the full force
of the leaders who spoke was mar
shaled in opposition to the lynchings,
burning and inhuman mob violence
practiced mainly against colored peo-
I pie in various sect'ons of the country,
j and that this lack of respect for the
common rights of citizens was given
j as the most potent cause for the un
rest among Negroes. This was the
underlying reason for bringing the
conference together from far distant
points. The proceedings of the con
ference reached the President through
the Committee on Public Information,
of which Mr. George Creel is chair
man.
The President’s message is a whole
some rebuke to ruthless violators of
i the law, who almost invariably think
they will be immune from punishment
by the courts or by an outraged pub
lic opinion.
The colored people are jubilant over
the timely and straightforward pro
nouncement of the President of the
United States, and that such an utter
ance from the highest authority in the
land will cause a wave of patriotic
enthusiasm among them and inspire a
keener impulse to assist in the many
constructive war activities- throughout
the Republic can not be doubted.
Colored Women Rejoice in Opportu
nity to Be War Nurses
The second outstanding achieve
ment growing out of the conference
is the opening made to rthe employ
ment of the large number of colored
trained nurses who have patriotically
registered iheir names with the Ameri
can Red Cross Society for work among
the colored troops on the field and in
the base hospitals. The conference
strongly urged that these skilled
nurses" be used at the earliest possible
opportunity.
According to an announcement
made through the office of the special
assistant to the Secretary of War last
week, plans have been laid by the
Surgeon-General ot the Army to have
colored nurses assigned to six of the
base hosiptafs in this country where
approximately 38,000 colored troops
are stationed; najnely, Camps Fun
ston. Dodge, Grant, Taylor, Sherman
and Dix, and with a practical cer
tainty that these skilled agents of
mercy will have a further opportunity
for service among the colored soldiers
overseas. With the constant increase
of colored men in the army the num
ber of women to be utilized must be
correspondingly enlarged from time to
time, with a constantly expanding
area of usefulness and spiritual influ
ence. This signa ltriumph has heart
ened beyond measure the women of
our land, who are called upon in
time of war to make the heaviest sac
rifices —and yet are the most willing
to sacrifice and to serve when called
upon to do so. This is the second big
achievement that may be justly cred
ited, to the recent conference and it
will prove to he a vital factor in alle
viating the unrest that has been
breaking down the morals of Negro-
Americans.
Col. Young May Soon Be Called to
Active Duty
The early recall to active duty of
Colonel Charles Young, the idol of
the young colored men of red blood
and sturdy spirit, also urged by the
conference, is before the War Depart
ment. It has become known that the
Secretary of War from the very be
ginning has -eypathetically considered
the whole matter of utilizing the valu
able military experience and services
of Colonel Young, who, until his retire
ment some months ago, was actively
identified with the regular army.
The two concrete results here re
ferred to, and thethird one now “on
the lap of the gods”, would seem
amply to justify the recent conference
of colored leaders an deditors, who
sacrificed time and business interests
LEGISLATORS FAVOR
THE OLD MOB LAW
1 NEW ORLEANS, La.—Shortly' be
| fore the biennial session of the Lou
isiana legislature adjourned the anti
lynching bill, known ts the Jordan-
Brown measure, was thrown Into the
dump heap, as the legislators did not
I have the temerity to pass the only
' constructive piece of legislation in
■ troduced.
The legislators were frightened by
the nonsensical talk cf Representative
I Evans of Madison, who cried out:
"Who would bring the victim of such
an unmentionable crime of a brute
into court to testify before a crowd
of men?"
A chorus of yeas to kill the bill re
sponded from every part of the house
Representative Webb of Quachita
parish, when the bill was palced or
passage, promptly made a motion tc
indefinitely postpone it, and then Ev
ans made his lynching appeal. There
was not a chance for the bill to pass
after that; not even a chance for any
one to further attempt to defend it
Any attempt to do so' would have given
its enemies occasion to make a big
name and become candidates for con
gress.
Messrs. Evans ana . Webb both be
long in the Fifth Congressional dis
trict. In 1910 the population of the
fourteen parishes comprising the con
gressional district was 204,036, an av
erage ot 14,500 to the parish. In Madi
son parish there are only about 600
white people and the rest are colored
people. The parish usually casts
about 160 votes all one way in presi
dential elections, and the whole Fifth
district of fourteen parishes, a little
more than 4,000 votes. Represents
tion in the legislature is based on ap
portionment of population and not on
apportionment of registered voters.
Evans hails from a parish that has
a large Negro population.
HOW COLORED MAN
FEELS ABOUT WAR
(Continued from Page 1)
many is trying to destroy the govern
ment of free people.
The civilized nations, with the Unit
ed States, have pledged all they have
to save their people from being made
the slaves of the German government
Some ot these nations have been
destroyed and their people are being
starved; others have found that what
they once took to be a friend is now
a foe.
Not a nation has complained at the
sacrifice it has made.
Each person in the nation stands
uncompromisingly behind his govern
ment.
Today, my friends, the nation under
the leadership of President Wilson, is
in ranks with twenty-one other na
tions battling against the forces ot
evil, a striking evidence that Christ
still rules the hearts of men.
We are telling the world that we
are fighting that the nations of the
earth shall not be slaves to another
nation, that the world shall be safe
tor democracy. ,
My friends, it is for freedom we
fight.
We should be proud to be citizens
of the United States ot America.
There is no freedom for men or
women, black or white, until the com
mon foe is defeated. We have a pres
ent duty, which is to do all we can to
win the war, or, as has been said,
“Go baok to the simple life, be con
; tented with simple food, simple pleas
ures and simple clothes —this we must
1 do courageously, for we have a vic
tory to win.
Thousands of our sons and broth
ers are today in the army standing
1 between us and the slavery Into which
the Germans plan to bring the nations
they conquer.
Every one of us must live and work
so that we may send to these sol
’ diers the guns and bullet 3 and food
which they must have.
