the seller for conspiracy to
transport, even though what is
contemplated is simply t-Y? de
livery of the thing sold.” Broker
Norris was found guilty, was fin
ed $200.
Significance
The portion of the decision
pleasing to the Wets was the sec
tion freeing the liquor purchaser
from responsibility in the “sim
ple sale” of liquor. The portion
pleasing to Drys was the section
stating that conspiracy to trans
plant exists “where the delivery
of the liquor sold is effected by
transportation” and the further
statement that “an order by a
purchaser to a bootlegger locat
ed at a distance to deliver liquor
followed by transportation, de
livery and payment” is sufficient
evidence of such conspiracy to
transport.
Ambiguity
Resulted the following ques
tions:
(1) How can delivery be ef
fected without transportation of
some sort?
(2) It is illegal to order liquor

FISH COUNT COMPARISON
Wrangell Sentinel

Reports to the U. S. Bureau of
Fisheries from the stream watch
man at Anan Creek are to the
effect that the first humpback
salmon appeared on June 14.
On June 22 the number counted
through the weir was 251. In
comparison it is interesting to
note that in 1928 the first fish
appeared at Anan Creek on June
18 and the escapement for the
week ending June 23 was 905.
Salmon Count Low
The salmon count at Anan
Creek, for the week ending July

same date for the past five years

Its Genesis in Higher Education
Charles M. Bond

Ohio University in which this
study was made is one of our
oldest state universities in the
Middle West. It is situated in
the borderland between North
and South. The student body
in it a few Orientals, but most
numerous racial groups are the
white and the black. Actually
the whites outnumber the blacks
many times, but the Negro group
is large enough to be conspicu
ous. This is especially true of
the summer session when many
Negro school teachers come for
further work in the College of
Education. The tension points,
therefore, are found in the as
sociation of whites and Negroes.
What are those tension points,
and what is happening to the ra
cial attitudes of the two groups?
First of all, what of the com
munity in which the University
is situated? The town of Athens,
^he home of the University, sup
ports a strong organization of
the Ku Klux Klan. The fiery
cross burned frequently on the
hill over-looking the town, and
the bombs rocked the country
side in an emphatically noisy
proclamation of “Protestant,
white, supremacy.”
Negroes in the community
were in constant state of sus
pense. although one searched in
vain for the records of any seri
ous misdemeanors on the part of
the Negro population. On the
other hand, several significant
facts were noticeable. First, the
finest Baptist church, in the
town, located at the intersection
of two of the desireable resi
dence streets.
Second, the best hotel in that
section of the state was owned
and operated by a Negro, and
was the Mecca for large numbers
of travelling men. Its dining
room could not accommodate
