SERVICETOBE SAME Separation of Races on Trains is Net Illegal AN IMPORTANT CASE SETTLED Case of Negroes Against ville, Chattanooga & Railroad Decided by Commerce Commission. the ITasa St. Louis Inter-State Washington, Special. The inter State commerce commission in a de cision in the ease at Georgia Edwards against the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railroad, held that where a railroad provides cot tain accommo dations for a first-class passenger of the white race it is commanded by the law that like accommodations shall 1 provided for negroes who have pur chased , first-class tickets It holds that in this case it is manifest thj railroad "has unduly and unjustly discriminated in some particulars against colored passengers and orders that where the railroad provides a washbowl and towels in the coaches for white passengers and a stparate smoking apartment, similar mvon: modatioits shall be provided for ne gro passengers paying similar fares." The complainant, who had purchas ed a first-class ticket from Chatta-1 nooga, Tenn., to Dalton, Ga., was re moved from a car. for white persons to one for negroes and complained that she was discriminated against, because of her color and not afforded equal facilities. Commissioner Lnm who rendered the commission's decis ion, held: - "The expense of the small smoking apartment in the latter (the car for the whites), accounts for nearly all the difference in cost between the two ears, He holds that the broad question of the right under the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments of the con stitution to segregate white and col orded passengers has been upheld bv the Supreme Court of the United States. The opinion then continues: "Accepting these decisions as con elusive upon the constitutionality of such laws, we turn the consideration of the reasonableness of such a rule when imposed by the carriers; and this Ave find to have been passed up on by this commisson within a few months of its organization in the case of Council vs. Western & Atlantic Railroad Company, which was decid ed December 3rd, 1837, and which held this separation may be carried out on railroad trains without disad vantage to either race and with in creased comfort to both. "Again in Heard vs. Georgia Rail road Company, decided February 15, 1888, the commission held that the separation of white and colored pas sengers paying the same fare is not unlawful, if cars and accommodations equal in all respects are furnished to both and the same cars and protec tion of passengers is observed. "While, therefore, the reasonable ness of such regulation as to inter State passenger traffic is established, it by no means follows that carriers may discriminate between white and colored passengers in the accommoda tions which they furnish to each. The principle that must govern is that carriers must serve equally well all passengers, whether white or col ored, paving the same fare. Faihue to do this is discrimination and sub jects the passenger to undue and un reasonable prejudice and disadvant- Schmitz Gets Five Years. San Francisco, Special. Mayor Eu gene E. Schmitz, convicted of extor tion was sentenced to five years in the .penitentiary. The sentence fol lowed the recent conviction of Schmitz for extorting $1,175 from French restaurant keepers of San Francisco. As the last words fell from the judge's lips, the great erowd that had stood throughout the dra matic scenes sent up a thunderous cheer. "Good for you," shouted y. man in the back of the room. His ejaculation was echoed and re-echoed by one after another of the specta tors. There was a sharp discussion between Schmitz and the Judge when the latter attempted to "lecture" him upon the enormity of his evil deeds. Schmitz declaring that he, was there to receive sentence and not to be lectured. . Will Be Sentenced August 3. Chicago, Special. The -. attorneys for the.

New Orleans, Special. The move ment of the National Farmers' Union to build this year between 250 and 300 cotton warehouses in " Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Indian Ter ritory was brought unofficially t the attention of the New Orleans cotton exchange by, E. S. Peters, of Calvert, Tex.

Beunion cf lineal Descendants cf Singers cf Declaration cf Independence. . Norfolk, Va., , Special. Governor Hughes, of New York, and Wood row Wilson, president of Princeton Uni versity, were the orators of the d.w at the joint Independence Day cele bration and first annual reunion of the lineal descendants of the signers of the Declaration of Independence July 4th. The reunion was held un der the auspices of the Thomas Jef ferson Memorial Associaition, of which former Secretary of the Navy Hilary A. Herbert, is the acting pres ident. "One really responsible man in jail," he said, "one real originator of the schemes and transactions 'which are contrary to the public in terst legally lodged in the pen, would be worth more than a thousand cor porations mulcted in fines, if the re form is to be genuine." What this country needs, Mr. Wil son set forth, is not government own ership of railroads, etc., but laws that will attack and punish presi dents and general managers of rail roads, for evasions and violations of the statutes. Stock manulipators he calls "sheer theftn" and says they should be punished as such. Failure to do so, in his mind, is "like over looking highway robberies.' "Every corporation," the educa tor stated, " is personally directed either by some one dominant person or by some group of persons. Some body in particular is responsible for ordering or sanctioning every illegal act committed by its agents or of ficers; but neither our law of per sonal damage nor our criminal la- has : soup-ht, to seek the responsible persons out and hold them individu ally accountable for the acts com plained of. We have never attempt ed such statutes. We indict corpora tions themselves, find them guilty of illegal practices, fine them and leave the individuals who devise and exe cute, the illegal acts free to discover new evasions." Such acts could be passed and should be if we are to better our in dustrial conditions, Mr. Wilson be lieves. Unless something of this na ture is done and done quicly, he fears Socialism will result. It is just as absurd, he said, to in dict or dissolve coroorations for of fenses against the public as it would be to arrest and confiscate automo biles because their owners killed pe destrians.

Georgia Aiding the Negro. cdflith' thepu . BGod sw'u vbgjjqj Montclair, N. J., Special. Former Governor W. J. Northen, of Georgia, was the orator at" the Fourth of July celebration here, speaking to a large audience on the relation of the races jn the South. "It is a great mistake." he said, "to believe that there is no kind of harmony between the better elements of the races in Georgia and at the South. Quite the contrary is true." "The good class of negroes is in telligent, progressive and resorceful. Its religion is not a sham. Its educa tion has not spoiled it and its devo tion to duty is not inspired by the 'loaves and fishes.' Its ideals are good, "It will be best for all parties ii wholesome and elevating. If all American negroes were of this class, there would be no 'negro problem.' "It will be best for all prties if the white man, strong and dominant, will look seriously and sympatheti cally at the weaker and the depen dent race, and seeing him, jnst as he is, intelligently set . about aiding him." ' "This is just what we have begua to do in Georgia upon a plan based entirely npon our local conditions, as, in my judgement, all other peopla must be allowed to do.

These gifts consisted of hors es and tents, and to escort them to his stronghold Raisuli sent 15 of his banditti to the general to act as a body-guard.
