POLITICAL.
Objections to the proposed appointment of William R. Lewis, a
Negro attorney of Boston, as an assistant attorney-general are being
presented to Attorney-General Wickersham. President Taft’s
intention to appoint Lewis was learned semi-officially at the White
House several weeks ago. Booker T. Washington has called upon Mr.
Wickersham to urge his approval of the appointment, and Speaker
Cannon has opposed it.

President Taft said in his message: “I renew my recommendation


that the claims of the depositors in the Freedman’s Bank be
recognized and paid by the passage of the pending bill on that
subject. I also renew my recommendation that steps be taken looking
to the holding of a Negro exposition in celebration of the fiftieth
anniversary of the issuing by Mr. Lincoln of the Emancipation
Proclamation.”

There is only one feature of the apportionment matter which is apt


to precipitate trouble, and that is the proposal to reduce the
representation of the Southern States which have deprived a part of
their population of the right of suffrage. Louisiana, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina and other Commonwealths below the
Mason and Dixon line have imposed restrictions upon the Negroes
which make it impossible for them to vote at any election.—Denver
Times.
THE COURTS.
In Richmond, Va., Judge Goff, in the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals, decided that no deed conveying real estate could legally
preclude the subsequent conveyance of any part of that real estate to
persons of African descent. He held that any provision or clause
providing that real estate shall not be acquired by Negroes is invalid
and void, and that no such provision can be put into a deed. The case
was argued for the Negroes by George J. Hooper and William L.
Royall. A. O. Boschen argued for the other side. The decision of
Judge Goff will be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United
States. It is attracting wide attention and much comment among
members of the local bar. The case was that of the People’s Pleasure
Park vs. Worsham.

Having been defeated in the Supreme Court of New York, and that
defeat having been affirmed by the Appellate Division, the colored
Order of Elks has filed an appeal to the Court of Appeals and has
filed a bond of the National Surety Company to cover the payment of
any costs that may be awarded against it. The colored order was
enjoined from using the name or the emblem of the white Order of
Elks.

The verdict of $1,000 awarded George W. Griffin, a Pullman car


porter, against Daniel L. Brady, brother of “Diamond Jim” Brady,
was affirmed by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court. Griffin
was arrested by Brady on a charge of theft, and after proving his
innocence sued his accuser.

Joseph Atwater, an Oklahoma Negro, filed in the Supreme Court


of the United States at Washington his appeal from the decision of
the Oklahoma courts which had refused to enjoin election officials in
Oklahoma City from denying him the right to vote on Nov. 8th. The
petition for injunction was based on the claim that the “grandfather
clause” placed in the Oklahoma constitution by amendment was
invalid, because it would deny the right to vote to a large number of
Negroes in the State entirely on account of color or previous
condition of servitude.
