HON. GEORGE A. MYERS,

Have you heard anything about it
in Cleveland?
Upon receipt of the comnunica-
ton Mr.. Myers Immediately start
ed an investigation, but the Off
Cials of the Pullman Co., here
said they had not heard even the
intimation of such an order.
Charles w. Chestnut was another
of the we'll known co1ored citizens
of this city to start at once upon
an investigation of the report.
ANY such action on the part of
the PullmanCo. would meet with
the bitterest kind Of opposition"
said Mr.. Chestnut. "It is not
wise to talk too much until addi-
tional information is secured, but
the barring of colored people from
the privileges of sleeping cars
would not only be a slap at the
race, but would be a distinct step
back iii the direction of the dark
ages. [ am sure such action
would meet with the bitterest kind
Of opposition on the part Of all
right thinking people. ."-Cle0e-
land iIdindcdler.

such a move is in contemplation
and steps are already taken to con-
test any such possible action. Ap-
pealS have been set to this city
for advice and information by
we'll known colored citizens of
Washington, D. c., and Chicago.
Yesterday, George A. Myers re-
ceived a communication from
Daniel Murray, assistant librarian
of the Congressional Library at
Washington, informing him Of
the report in Washington and ask
ing for information as to the situ-
alton here. In part Mr.. Murray
said:
The chief reason that delays
my answer grows out of the cur
rent rurnor extensively circulated
here that the Pullman Car Co.,
would on the Ist day Of January,
1904, exclude from the privilege
Of their cars, all persons Of Afri-
can descent.
The report is current in Chica-
go and | learned that Messrs. Ed
ward Morris, Lang Williams and
DR.. Charles Bentley called on Rob
ert I. Lincoln and he declined to
see them. It is said here that DR..
