EQUAL RIGHTS ON THE RAIL.
The Races May be Separated but Nc
Discrimination Allowable.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 16--The Interstate
Commerce Commission rendered decision
to-day in the case of William H. Heard VS..
the Georgia Railroad Company. The COM
mission holds that the petitioner, colored
passenger on the defendants road between
Atlanta, Ga, and Charleston, S. c., who
had paid first-class fare, was ubjected to
undue and unreasonable prejudice and dis
advantage in violation of the third section
of the act to regulate commerce, in being
compelled to travel in car of inferior
accommodations, of which only one
half was assigned to colored passengers, the
other half being used as a smoker for both
white and colored passengers, and that it is
the duty of the carrier, under the law, to
furnish to passengers paying the same fare,
equal accommodations and protection with
out discrimination on account of color.
But if separation of white and colored pas
sengers is expedient for adequate reasons,
such separation is not unlawful if the ac-
commodations and comforts for the colored
passengers are in all respoc,s equal to those
for white passengers paying the same fare.
The opinion is by Commissioner Schoon-
maker.

WHY TT is CLEVER.

The cleverness of the forgery consists in
the way it is certified, which is done with
rubber stamp with the word certified very
large, followed by the signature of a mythi-
cal teller in red ink The whole is backed
with metal perforating stamp with the
name Of Morris q Co., local bankers, made
in it like seal Morris & Co.,
use no such stamp. A curious circumstance
is that in the last two weeks two other
forgerles of checks on another banking firm
formerly in existence here, j. r. Adams a.
Co., have come to light. They were gotten
up precisely in the same style, with metal
stamp, but were signed by r. r. Terril
The officials here believe that the forgeries
are the work of the same man.
