defendants road from Augusta to Atlanta
he petitioner was compelled to accept
sAcond-class accom- Dodadons. being
Obliged to occupy the compartment car,
a Though he had purchased a ticket
hich guaranteed him first
cl ass accom- modatione. The commission,
in an opinion by Mr.. Bragg rendered,
holds as follows:
First-It is lawful duty that carrier
like the defendant owes to the travelling
public in carrying out the rule for furnish
ing separate cars to colored passengers
on its lines engaged in interstate travel,
to give the same local comforts, accom-
modatio ms and without discrimination.
Secon DIT is a lawful duty that car
rier like defendant owes to the travelling
public, engaged in interstate travel over
its lines, to afford equal protection of law
alike to all such passengers without regard
to race, color or sex, against undue pref
udice and disadvantage from disorderly
conduct on the part CT other passengers
or persons.
Third-On the facts in this proceeding,
Held: That defendant violated the law in
each of the foregoing respects, as against
the petitioner.

"ExEcUTIvE MANSION, WASHINGTON, May
MY Dear Sir: Your letter of May
has been received. 1 have not seen Gen
eral Shermsn's remarks, and therefore am
not able to say anything in regard to the
matter, but have no doubt whatever that
what may have been said was not in
tended as any serious reflection upon the
company of which you speak. will call
the matter TO the attention of the presi.
dent. Very truly yours,
Signed E. W. HALFoRD,
Private Secretary.
P.S. Since the above was written l
have called the presidents attention to
the matter, and he directs me to say that
he did notice the absence of the American

that he made no impLtation whatever on
their patriotism"
