Montreal, Oct 29, Commandant Benito Sylvan, a 
doctor of law of the faculty of Paris, and a 
D.C.O. of His Majesty Emperor Menelik of 
Abysinia, was refused admittance at the Montreal 
hotel today because he was colored. He said "It 
is absolutely odious and scandalous that in a 
country imbrued with generous traditions of 
France and which claims to be under English law, 
reported to be so liberal, that the people can 
adopt principles as retrograde as those which 
are still prevalent among the upholders of 
slavery in the southern states."
