BE RODE IN a PULLMAN.
No Objection Raised to Booker Wash
ington at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Jan. 20.-Booker T.
Washington left Kansas City last even
ing for his home at Tuskegee, Ala,
and he and his secretary occupied
lower berths and of the Pullman
on Frisco train. There is no written
rule issued by the Pullman company
prohibiting negroes riding in Pullman
cars, but the policy is to report ''all
berths occupied" when negro ap-
plies.
]. r Cox, who is Washington's pri-
vate secretary, had no trouble in ar
ranging for berths yesterday. The Sec
rotary has a very light complexion and
might easily be mistaken for a white
man.
Mr. Washington walked about the
depot platforms last evening, talking
to DR.. T. c. Chapman, a negro dentist.
To a newspaper man he said he had

Mr.. Washington spent yesterday
afternoon in Kansas City. He was ten
dered an informal reception at the
home of the Rev. Samuel Bacote, pas
tor of the Second Baptist church, at
2210 Kansas avenue, where he met
number of friends he had known many
years ago in the south.
Mr.. washington refused to discuss
the treatment accorded him at the
Wichita hotels, saying that he never
took any notice of such incidents, and
that anything he might say would pos
sibIy be nnisinterpreted and become
productive of unpleasant and unproft-
able comment.

WHAT OF MIR. MORTON.
New York Post Asks a Pertinent
Question.

The New York Evening Post says:
President Ripley of the Atchison in
dignantly telegraphed to the Evening
Post on January that the action of
his traffic manager, Mr.. Biddle, in the
case of the alleged secret rebate, was
fright legally and morally" He has
since discovered, however, that there
was a technical violation of the law"
Hence he has withdrawn his demand
that the interstate commerce comm IS
sion give him and Secretary Paul Nor
ton a hearing in order that they might
trampIe upon the false charges. The
incident is sufficiently instructive as it
stands. We would only remark that
all violations of law are technical
Criminal statutes have a way of being
exceedingly minute and verbally pre-
else; and many a man has been sent to
Jail for having overlooked some nice
point in the law. Railway managers
ought to be tolerably familiar with the
technique of the federal statutes by
this time, and for one of them to con-
TESS to a technical violation is scarce
ly less serious than to be charged, as
the Atchison officials were by Com
missioner Prouty, with a "barefaced
violation" But where is the promised
excuIpatory statement of Secretary
Morton? We hope that in his new zeal

regarding the law and order side of

WOMEN FOR CANTEEN.
Wives of Army and Navy Omcers Send
Petition to Congress.

Washington, Jan. 2o.-On behalf of
the Women's Army and Navy league,
Mrs. Josephine Kelton, widow of the
late adjutant general. J. c. Kelton,
has presented a petition to the senate
committee on military affairs, in the
interest of the re-establishment of so
much of the canteen as permits the
sale of beer at army posts The petit
ton was signed by 800 ladies. most of
whom are related to the officers of the
army and navy. including Mrs. Gen.
Chaffee, Mrs. Admiral Schley and Mrs.
Admiral Sampson.
Mrs. Kelton said the ladies spoke
from personal experience as to the
beneficial effects of the canteen "As
women, we admire the Women's Chris
tian Temperance union" she said,
land we think they are doing a Won
derful work in the country at large
but we believe that they do not un-
derstand conditions in the army, and
are. therefore, not as capable of ad-
v1sing in this matter as they might be
in others"
She said that assertions in the army
fell of 9 per cent. after the establish
Tuent of the canteen. Chairman Hull
remarked, after she had concluded
that there would be no legislation on
that subject at this session.
