In the supreme court of the United

not receive the afflicted man within
Its bounds..
If this action Is taken,, and it Is
expected It will be, the proceedings
will be unique, in that no similar
suit has ever been instituted by the
DIstrltc of- Columbia. Dispute be;

present time the district has had no
disagreement with any , stae which
would warrant recourse to the high

North Carolina, the- birthplace

refuses to allow him to return home,
and officials of the state declare Mrs.
Early and her baby will be imme
