FAVOR "JIm CROW" CAR LAW.
Number of Councilmen Express Their
Views on This Matter.

| Sentiment in favor of Councilman Peters
Jim Crow car ordinance is growing,
and it is believed the Council will adopt
the measure when it comes before two
bodies for consideration.
The question of separate cars for
white and colored people has been agttat-
ed in a number of Southern cities. some
Of which have required their street rail-
way companies to provide separate accom-
uloda tons for the races.
Some of the Richmond CGlncilmen doubt
that the scheme to separate the whites and
the blacks in the street-cars is practical,
but most of them heartily endorse Mr..
Peters measure. The general desire on the
mart of the city fathers is to have the
railway companies run small trailers for
colored folks attached to the regular cars.
which should be occupied by white people
only.
The views of several members of the
Council on the Jim Crow car ordinance
were obtained to-day. and are given be.ow:
President Ferdinand c.. Fbel. of the
Common Council: I favor the ordinance,
and believe it practical and easy to carry
out. The companies should be required to
put on trai1ers for the colored passengers.
Councilman Joseph Wailerste!n: There Is
| no need of such a law in this city at this
time Our colored citizens are well-be
haved and seldom cause any annoyance on
the street cars I have dozens of times
seen negroes get up to give white ladies
seats in the cars. believe in letting well
enough alone. We don't need any ..Jirn
Crow car law now.
Councilman Marx Gunst: am in favor
of the separate car ordinance. but doubt
IL it is practicable
Councilman Morgan r. Mills: We ought
to have the separate car law. It would De

dren. who are subjected to ANNOYANCE.
Councilman Harry Glenn: am opposed
to the Peters ordinance IL II is simply to
require the street-car companies to parti-
ton Oft space n the cars for the coioted
| passengers. If the companies will pro-
vide q trailer for the negroes. am IN IA

work of his enumerators was thoroughly

done. Says he:
Il would like to offer to furnish the
maps and necessary information for
thorough test of the census that was
taken. My plan is this: Let ten of the
districts be selected by putting slips of
paper representing all Of the tifty-siX dis
tricts in a hat Then let ten policemen be
detailed to take the enumeration in these
ten districts and report to a committee.
1t will get the reports for those districts
from Washington, and a fair comparison
can b. made between my results and the
results of the policemen.
IL think that if this was done ten dis
