These willing martyrs to the cause of wom an suffrage were released on grounds of public policy; that prosecuting them would be unwise.

SECRETARY WILSON FIGHT OVER GIRL TELLS CORN STORY TWO MEN KILLED Washinuton, Nov. 19. Eleven days arter tho election Joseph Atwuter, an Oklahoma negro, nied In the Supreme court of the United States an appeal from the decision of the Oklahoma courts which refused to enjoin the election officials In Oklahoma City from denying him the right to vote November 8. The petition for an injunction was based on the claim that the "grand father clause" placed in the Oklahoma constitution by amendment, was in valid, because it would deny the righ to vote to a large number of negroes In the state, entirely on account color or previous condition of servl tude. The clause complained of de nles the right to vote to those who could not read and write a section of the constitution. It provided, howev er, that no person should be denied th right to vote If elthr he or his nnces tors had the right to vote In any form of government on January 1, ISCb.
