WOMAN SUES ON ~GOMLRICHTS LAN Refused Service in Restaurant Because Unescorted, Miss ." Israel Seeks, Damages, but Loses on a Technicality. i i ALL MUST BE TREATED ALIKE But This, Court Rules,, Does Not * Preclude the Proprietor’s Making Such Rules as the Interest of His sy Place May Require. Rebecca Israel walked into the Cafe Boulevard, Second avenue and Tenth street, and tbestowing hersolf at a i table, summoned a waiter and ordered her dinner. Miss Israel was without and presently, the head waiter came and told her that tt was against the rules of the house to serve a lady without an escort. Miss Israel left the place in high dud- @eon, went home and had a good cry, followed by a period of illness. The more she thought about {t the madder @be got, and the upshot was a sult’ against Ignatz H. Rosenfeld, the pro- prietor of the Cafe Boulevard, under “the Civil Rights act of 1895, which was intended for the protection of colored people. .The young woman gained the distinc- tion of being the first white person to sue under the Civil Rights law, but she Jost in the preface on a technicality. er sult was dismissed by Justice Green- baum, before whom it was called for trial, on points raised by Julius Miller, of the firm of Marcus Schmitzer, attor- Beys for Col. Rosenfeld, ‘The law provides that ‘all persons shall be entitled to full and equal ac- commodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of inns, Ject only to the conditions and limitations established by law and applicable alike o all citizens, irrespective of race, creed er color, and regardless of race, creed or color.” The second section of the law providés a penalty of not less than $100 Dor more than $00, “to any citizen dis- oriminated against," the penalty to be re- govered in a sult at law. Miss Israel estimated her injury by Dumillation, nervous shock and illness Fesulting et the full amount and, through idge Wauhope Lynn, sued for 600. But when the case was called for trial Mr, Miller moved to dismiss the eomplaint because it did not allege that Miss Israel had been treated differently from other intending customers. He Glalmed that Mr. Rosenfeld had a right be @ make a rule intended to defend his , place from an invasion of females un- f accompanied by male esscorts, provided he enforced the rule impartially and b without deviation or exception. \ “Suppose Sherry should attempt to say @ man could not be served unless he | appeared in evening clothes?” propound- ‘ @@ Miss Israel's attorney. "IT should say he could, provided he enforced it against all and dispensed swith it for no one," interposed Justice piSreeabauim. “The rule take off your hats at table’ is a common one, why pot the other?" » Mr. Miller, also called attention to a peculiar differonce in the wording of ..e * Bwo sections of the law. In the first + @pplies to “persons,” but the second, dwhich provides for the penalty and ow to colleot it, says ‘any ‘cltizen’ may Recover.” Mr, Miller contended that as Miss Israel's complaint did not alicge t.she was a citizen it was fatally festive. {Justice Greenbaum thought s0, too, Bod dismissed the complaint because it @id not show that Miss Israel had Been discriminated against; ‘she might have been denied her dinner because the gate was serving no one at that time @t because there was no accommoda- tions for her, for all the complaint shows, and because she does not allege that she 1s a citizen. The penalty under the nct seems to be available only to citizens.” KENT SENTENCED * FOR TWENTY YEARS, Rochester Judge Denies New Trial * for Man Convicted of Complic- {ty in Girl's Death, -ROCHESTER, N. ¥., May 18.—Leland Dorr Frut, accused of being implicated tH thé death of Miss Dingle, was sen, tenced to twenty years’ Imprigonment fm Auburn to-day.
