Refuses To Send Witnesses To
Canada In The Matthew
Bullock Case.
COLORED MAN RELEASED.
"I am not going to try North
Carolina's honor and integrity before
any judge in any foreign country,"
declared Governor Cameron Morri
son yesterday in a sharp telegram to
Henry P Fletcher, Acting Secretary
of State in Washington in response to
that official's suggestion that North
Carolina send an attorney and wit
nesses to Hamilton, Ontario, to prove
to Canadian authorities that Mat
thew Bullock, wanted in- Norlina for
attempt to murder and for inciting a
riot should be extradited.
The Governor's telegram was a flat
refusal to proceed in any way other
than through the constituted authori
ties in Washington acting in compli
ance with treaty relations with Can
ada. The telegram is taken as an
indication, here that the Society for
the Advancement of the Colored Peo-
pie, together with negro organiza
tions in Canada who are putting up a
strong fight to save Matthew Bullock
from extradition are availing them-;
selves of powerful influences. ;
"North Carolina will not make ad
appearance through attorney in any.
Canadian court," the Governor's tele-j
gram read. "North Carolina will not
make an appearance through attor-
ney in any Canadian Court. It . will
not send witnesses to have a trial be-
fore any court there. If there is any
error in form or regularity of appli
cation for the extradition of this f u
itive from justice, I will be glad to
have it corrected as far as correction
can be made in truth. If Canada will
not honor our requisition in the reg
ular way' and you cannot through
diplomatic, channels "-.coh.yn.?ni,
they should do so, then I " hope " you
will not hereafter request North Car
olina or any other seli-respecting
State of the Union in any way to
honor a request from Canada If a
treaty relations with Canada are not
such as to guarantee the return to
this country by desperate criminals
like Matthew Bullock without the
States of this IJnion being subjected

pear before some judge in . a petty

km not going to try North Carolina's
honor and integrity before any judge

Governor Comments.
In his office yesterday afternoon,
he Governor commented vigorously
In the situation that has developed.
"The most disgusting spectacle of
pgal procedure I ever saw was when
ihe great State of New York sent its
ttorneys and a host of witnesses
rer into Canada to convince the au-
horities there that it should have the
fustody of Harry Thaw, a man who
ad violated its laws," he said.
i am going to deal with Canada
pough the office of the Secretary of
tate in the usual way. If there is
pything wrong with the form of the
ppers presented, the State of North
arolina will correct them. The State
f North Carolina is depending upon
he federal government through its
presentatives and diplomatic agen
es to return this criminal to the
ate for trial.

Will Not Bandy Words.
Last night when the Associated
ess story chronicling Judge Sni
p's statement that he would stick
his guns in demand for oral testi
fy was to read to the Governor, he
lined to comment in any way other

The constitutionality of the Wom
an's Suffrage or nineteenth amend
nent was sustained on Monday by the
Supreme Court in a unanimous opin
ion handed down by Justice Brandeis.
The challenge came from the State
of Maryland, where Oscar Leser and
others sought to prevent the registra
tion of two women as qualified voters
in Baltimore. Le3er and his associa
tes contended that the constitution of
Maryland limited suffrage to men;
that the legislature of Maryland had
refused to ratify the woman's suf
frage amendment, and that the
amendment had not become a part of
the federal constitution. The Mary
land State courts sustained the
amendment. .
The contention that an amendment
to the federal constitution relating to
additions to the electorate can not be
made without the consent of the
State, the court disposed of by refer
ence to the fifteenth or equal suffrage
amendment, declaring that "one ean
not be valid and the other invalid."
It pointed out that the validity of th
fifteenth amendment had been recog
nized for half a century.
