WHERE WILL THEY sIrp
Maryland Legislature Having Terrible
Time Over the Color Line.

Annapolis, Nd, March PA peculiar
feature appears in the new Jim crow
car bill The one at first drawn to in
clude only eastern shore counties south
of Cecil has been amended so as to ap-
ply to the whole state, and provide for
assignments by the conductor of sepa-
rate seats for white and colored per-
sons, instead of separate cars, passen-
gers refusing to take such seat being
subject to fine or Imprisonment.
Mr.. Dryden today offered another bill
by way of amendment, which makes no
mention of color and cOmpelS persons
to sit in whatever seat be assigned them
under penalty. This amendment is criti-
cised as comforting dangerous power
upon conductors, and one which might
be abused by Surly railroad officials.
