bv the language used by the supreme court of the United States in the case or Louisville, New Orleans and Texas Rail road company vs. Mississippi. The exact question involved in this case was as to whether the railroad involved in this case was as to whether the railroad involved should be compelled to afford separate cabin accommodation for negro passengers on a boat controlled by the road. The supreme court held that the statute of Mississippi requiring all railroads carry ing passengers in that state to provide separate accommodations for the white and colored races. having been construed by the supreme court of the state to apply solely to commerce within the state does no violation to the commerce clause of the constitution of the United States. In an- nouncing the decision of the court, Jus tice Brewer used this significant lan- guage: Obviously whether interstate pas- sengers of one race should in any por- ton of their journey be compelled to share their cabin accommodations with passengers of another race, was ques- tion of interstate commerce and to be determined by Congress aione.''
 The advocates of the Esch-Townsend bill propose to have Congress determine this question through its delegation of power to the interstate commerce com mission. That bill gives the commission no discretion. If 1t finds that any regula- ton or practice, whether resting on the authority of the railroad or upon a state law Is unjustly discriminatory. fit shall be It's duty to set 1t aside. In other words If majority of the members of the inter state commerce commission shall hold, af ter a hearing on complaint made by any one, and which they cannot decline to hear, that negroes travelling across state lines are being dscriminated against. it is claimed that they will be compelled, If the Esch-Townsend bill or any similar measure Is enacted, to require the rail. roads to give to their black passengers identically the same accommodations as are given to their white passengers, in cluding berths In sleeping cars and meals in dining cars If the black passengers are ready to pay for them. This would be complete fulfillment of Senator Chandler's prediction that "the white man and the negro will have to sit side by side in the same cars all over the south.''
 II would. however. be an easy matter for Congress to frame a statute expressly stipulating that the present separate coach law should not be interfered with by the contemplated railroad legislation.

ROBERT BROWN IS KILLED AT PRATT Shot by George Howard, Jr.,
 Last Night HOWARD IS NOW IN JAL Killing Occurred in Pratt City Saloon. Result of Old Differences.
 They We're Fellow
 Miners.

Pratt City, July 1S.-(Special) )-Tonight shortly before o'clock George Howard, Jr., shot and instantly killed Robert Brown in the Pratt City saloon on First avenue. Both were union miners and were well known and popular citizens. Howard gave himself up to the police shortly after the killing and was carried by Chief Hartsfield and Officer Brown to the counI ty Jail at Birmingham.
 The details of the shooting are meagre as none of the eye witnesses to the trag- edy will talk. Howard declined to give out any statement in regard to the shooting. From the best information obtainable, 1t seems that the men had quarreled last night about some trivial matter, said to be connected with a fraternaf order. How ard was standing in the saloon when Brown, 1t Is said, walked in at the back door. Only a few words were exchanged between the men when the shooting com menced. Howard shot twice, one of the bullets hitting Brown on the left side, en- tering between the sixth and seventh ribs and ranging downward, coming out on the right side. The other shot went wide of the mark. Brown Is said to have shot once, but his bullet missed the mark. Howard used a 3S-calipre revolver and Brown used a 32-calibre.
 As to who fired the first shot 1t is i'm. possible to ascertain. As soon as he was hit Brown sank to the floor ana expired almost immediately.
 The body of Brown was taken to the undertaking establishment of Sam Foley, where 1t was prepared for burial. As sev. eral of the deceaseds relatives in the west had to notified, the funeral will not take place until Thursday. Brown was about 2S years of age and is survived by his wife and two children. He was an engineer by trade. Howard Is about z5 years or age and is unmarried. He Is a coal miner.
 Miner Killed.
 News reached Pratt City tonight that Frank Channell a miner. who went to Garnsey a day or two ago, was killed this afternoon by falling rock. This was the first day that Chanell had work ed in the mines at Garnsey. The body of the deceased will be brought to Sam Toley's tomorrow and will be inferred Thursday afternoon. the funeral to take place from the deceased's former home at Wylam.
