WASHINGTON, May 1s-The snpSeme
court of the United States decided to-
day in the case of Plessy vs.. Ferguion.
that the statute Of the State Of Goais-
lana requiriug railroad companieS to
supply separate coaches for white And
colored persons 10 nonstitu tionAl, Afifm-
Ing the decision of the court below.
Justice Brown delivered the opinion.
Justice Harlan dissented.
Justice Browndismissed thlscsse with
very brief opinion, merely saying that
the State legislation In this case was
analogous with legislation providing
separate schools for colored and white
children. Plessy, a mulatto. was put
out OF coach on the East Louisiana
railroad set apart for whites and was
plac sd under srrest for violation Of the
law.
The proceeding In this court was
based upon an application for writ Of
prohibition against the trial of the case
BY !adge Ferguson, of Section A OF the
criminal dissrict court for the parish Of
Orleans. This application was hrss
made to the supreme court of Louisiana
and was denied. Justice Browns opin-
ion affirmed the State courts opinion.
Justice Harlan, In his dissenting
opinion, said that 1t would be just as
reasonable to require separate coaches
for Americans and foreigners, for men
OF Latin race and those of the Teutonic,
or for men of differing views on politi-
cal or religious questions, or to require
that one side Of the street should be set
aside for whites and the other for
blacks. He commended that the law WAS
repuRnant to the thirteenth amendment.
Railroads were, he said, public high
