KATY Will TEST seMAPHoRss

choetaw Division.

The bridge and building depart

in at once eighteen new semaphores

be extended over the entire road The
new signal is known as the Smith
double arm train order signal It is
mounted on a post thirty-three feet
high and is so arranged that when a
station has orders for a south bound
train the signal will not stop north
bound trains. This is 4 great improve
ment over the signal now in use, as
it stops trains going either direction,
although there may be orders at the
station only for trains going one direc-
ton. These new semaphores will be
installed at the largest stations be-
tween Muskogee, l. T., and Denison
Tex This division of the road has
been chosen TO teFt the new signal on
account of the exceedingly heavy
traffic over the road. A large num-
Der of trains pass both ways over the
Choctaw division OF the Katy each
day than over any other division of
the road on the entire system Rail-
road officials have no doubt but what

Importance Not Realized.


1t would appear probable from OBJ
servations made by the women since
the momentous decision was reached
tha, the individual case under consid-
Grafton was the only matter fully in
the minds of the majority They do
not appear to have realized the bear
ing their action might be taken as
having on the general question of col
or, although the minority tried to inn
press with this aspect OF the case.
The opposition Of the other girls the
fact that Miss Ellis was only taking
a musical course, and the demand for
more accommodations than they
could provide were the determining
factors in the discussion Perhaps.
it was for this reason that the facts
brought out by the minority anent the
practice of other similar institutions
had so little weight Mrs. James Pat
ten was particularly lucid She in
stanced Wellesley hall as a university
residence run on very similar lines,
where colored and white students
mingled in friendly intercourse and
where questions Of race influenced no
one and made no difference TO the
standing of the girls. To this the ma
jority replied by quoting the estab-
lisned rule to give precedence TO reg
ular students and the opposition Of
Miss Ellis comrade in the hall.
The decision Of the committee has
naturally raised a storm Of mingled
praise and blame through all the uni
versity circle There are those who
feel that race should have no influence
in determining the eligibility Of candi-
dates for admission to semicharitable
institutions, and there are those who
feel that the prejudice of others
should not be lightly disregarded In
cidentally, too, the decision has rails
ed the general status of colored stu
dents in the university and led to
much searching of heart on the part
of those who may be called upon to
act should a similar Ques ION arise "a
connection with the administration Of
Willard hall, which is run officially
by the university So far, however
no colored student has applied for
admission there and consequently the
matter has never beo1 definitely de.

same time, whether two OF three mem
