Railroads Must Furnish Equal Accommodations 10
Persons Paying the Same Price.
WASHINGTON, February 16.-The In
ter-State Commerce Commission rem
dered decision to-day III the case of
William Heard VS.. the Georgia Railroad
Company. The Commission holds that
petitioner, colored passenger ON the
defendants road between Atlanta, Ga,
and Charleston, S. c., who had paid
first-class fare was subjected to undue
and unreasonable prejudice and disad-
vantage in violation of the third section
of the act to regulate commerce, in be-
ing compelled to travel in a car of in
ferior accommodations, of which only
one-half was assigned TO colored pas
sengers, the other half being used as a
smoker for both white and colored pas
sengers, and that it is the duty of car
rier under the law to furnish to passen-
gers paying the same fare equal accom-
mediation on account of color. But if
the separation of white and coiored pas
sengers is expedient for adequate
reasons, such separation is not unlawful
if the accommodations and comforts for
colored passengers are in all respects
equal TO those for white passengers pay
ing the same fare. Opinion by Com
missioner Schoonmaker

JACKSONVILLE, February 16.
Fl. D. Holland, sheriff of Duval County,
| has to-day, by request of the Governor,
| rendered his resignation, to take effect
| as soon as his successor is appointed.
The Governor has based his action en-
tirely on the escape of the prisoner,
George FL. Carpenter, the New York
forger. The successor of Mr. Holland is not
yet known, but the general opinion of
those who are most directly concerned
seems to favor E. w. Gillen. who was Mr..
Hollands competitor for the office three
years ago. There is an opinion prevalent
that the matter of his successor should
be left to the Board of County Commits
sioners, and it is said that they favor Nh.
Gillen. Mr.. II. A. L'Engle, chairman of
the Democratic County Executive Com
mittee, informs us that he has called a
meeting of the committee at noon
Saturday, as requested, to recommend
suitable person for appointment as Sher-
iff Hollands successor. However, it is
understood that the Governor will act
advisedly and cautiously in the premises.
There is only about ten months to serve
under the Governors appointment.

around pretty lively. Thompson rushed
out and knocked him down. jackson
then drew knife, but Thompson knocked
him down again before he had a chance
to use it. About this time several
| negroes rushed up and general row
| was anticipated, but at this moment one
of the Georgian excursionists, named
| Ellis, who arrived here to-day, came up,
and, seeing that perhaps there might be
further serious trouble, jerked out his
pistol and ranged himself alongside of
| Thompson, determined to see fair play.
About this time the police came up and
arrested Thompson, Ellis and jackson.
The latter two were put in the LaVilla

NUMBER 294.

The seconds. judges and referee had
been previously arranged, and the prin-
cipals with the referee entered the ring.
Time was called at 9:2a and the fun
began.
Easterly is man of large frame and
weighs probably 17o, while Clinton
seemed to be much smaller, weighing
about 155 to 100 pounds. Both men are
compactly built, with well developed
muscle, and capsule of delivering power
full blows.
Clinton soon showed that what he
lacked in weight was made up in skill.
His quickness put his antagonist at once
ON his mettle.
Eight rounds were fought in which
Clinton got in about twenty blows ON
Easterly, several of which We're stun
ners, while he got hit only one good blow
in the whole fight
In the eighth round Clinton struck
Easterly below the belt and the referee
called foul and decided the contest in
favor of Easterly.
1t was claimed that it was accidental
and Clinton's friends wanted him to re-
main in the ring.
Considerable confusion followed the
announcement of the referees ruling.
while the friends of Easterly claimed it
was a perfectly fair decision since the
referee had twice previous to the last
round warned the contestants of fouling.
There was much disappointment at the
early termination OF the fight, as the
boys were Just getting warmed up and
the blows were falling fast on their
cheeks, eyes and noses.
The rounds lasted three minutes with
rest of one minute between. Ten sec
onds were allowed for time to rise in
case of knock down.
There was big talk of fight to the
finish, but as the money was lacking for
a second bout the first was considered
decided as declared by the referee.
A couple of sparring matches between
colored boys were put on as preliminaries
to the more gamey fight and they fur
nished big fun for the spectators.
THE SCULLERS.
Owing to the heavy rain the cham
pion scullers, Messrs. Teemer, Hamm
and Mckay, did not row yesterday.
They will row the second match over
the same course this afternoon at 2:30

THE FISHERIES TREATY.
1t IS Claimed That the United States Has Obtained
Important Concessions.

1t IS Claimed That the United States Has Obtained
Important Concessions.
WASHINGTON February 16.-The Fish
cries treaty, which was signed last even
ing, was the subject of much speculation
and discussion at the Capitol to-day.
While declining to give any specific in
formation as to its provisions, Secretary
Bayard tonight said to an Associated
Press reporter that for many years the
great contention among American fish
ermen has been for fair and just con-
struction of the treaty of 1918, and that
the present treaty had been framed by
the American negotiators with a view
to meet the needs and necessities of our
fishermen, and he believed that if the
treaty is ratified that the end will have
been accomplished.
1 From trustworthy sources it is learned
lthat to our fishermen are secured all the
Icommercial privileges for which they
have been contending. with the except
bn of the right to purchase bait in Canad-
ian waters, which is expressly withheld.
Their right to enter Canadian ports for
full, water and repairs is conceded.
Cestain bays, which are specified, are to
remain under the exclusive jurisdiction
of Osnada. There is nothing in the pro-
visions of the treaty, it is said, which ne
cessiates the removal of the duty on
Canadian fish, or in any way changes
our tahf system. In its important fea-
lures tie treaty, it is stated, is favorable
to the United States, and while new and
valuableprivileges have been acquired
this has zen done without any costly
sacrifcesen cur part.
SecretaE Bayard states tonight thai
) the published report. purporting to give
the essentia features OF the treaty, were
unauthorizsi and wholly wrong.
The American negotiators left fol
their homesto-day. Sir Charles Tuppe1

the Operation.

Tue Optfdion
BERLIN, February 16.-The National
lettings Medical correspondent at San
Reno says that the Crown Princes diff
ficulty in breathing began fortnight
before the operation, increasing daily.
On the 4th inst it had reached such a
pitch that the Prince had to abandon his
customary walk, being only able to take
drive. On the following day the strug-
gle for breath was intense, especially
during the night. On the morning of the
9th DIR. Bramann was summoned. When
the Crown Prince was informed that an
operation was thought advisable, he re-
piled, ''Well, if it is necessary, am
ready to have it performed at once"
The Prince expressed his willingness
to be chloroformed. DIR. Bramann made
an incision the length of finger from
the base of the larnyx to near the breast
bone. The Prince returned to conscious
ness soon after the bandage had been
applied. lie found the difficulty in
breathing much relieved, and thanked
the doctors for their services. He bore
the chloroform well and felt no pain.

Sermons for Children,


Most boys and girls do not like SER
mons; they say they are too long for
their h'ghnesses. Perhaps they may like
these short sermons. They will give
food to think over, and must not be
read too hastily.
A Swedish boy fell out of tho win.
dow and was badly hurt, but with
clenched lips he kept back the cry of
pain. The King. Gustavus, who saw
hin, fall, prophesied that the boy
would make man for an emergency.
And so he did. for he became the ia.
nous General Bauer.
A boy used to crush the flowers to
get their color, and painted the white
side OF his fathers cottage in Tyrol
with all sorts of pictures, which the
nlountaineers gazed at as wonderful.
He was the great artist Titan.
An old painter watched a little fel-
low who amused himself by making
drawings OF his pot and brushes, easel
and stool and said: "That bov will
beat me one day." So he did, for he
was Michael Angelo.
A German boy was reading a blood.
and-thunder novel. Right in the midst
of it, he said to himself: "Now, this
will never do. 1get too much excited
over it. can't study so we'll after 1t.
So here goes!" and he flung the book
out into the river. He was FIGHTER,
the great German philosopher.
DO you know what these little SER
mons mean? Why simply this. that
in boyhood and glrlhood are shown
the traits for good or evil that make
the man or woman GOOD or not.
