was the other day appealed to by a
delegation of Afro-Americans to fay
orably consider an amendment to the
interstate commerce law which they
presented making it an offenses spun
ishable with fine of not less than
$500 or more than $4,000 for railway
companies to discriminate in the mat

The delegation consisted of ex-Rep-
resentative George H. White, of North

ant registrar of the treasury; Rev. DR..
Walter Brooks and Jesse Lawson, of
Washington.
The argument presented was that
it was against the fundamental prin-
ciples of republic to allow discrim-
nations among it's people, and that
the Jim crow cars which were in
dorsed by the laws of several south
ern states were determinations which
were humiliating and offensive to the
