APPEAL TO HEPBURN BILL.
Negroes Want Jim Crow Car Law
Repealed and Make Appeal to
Interstate Commerce Com
mission.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Southern
negroes who aspire to social equality
with the whites are evidently deter
mined to obtain decision from the
In.crstotc Commerce Commission as
to whether the enforcement Of the
Hepburn railroad rate law will not
abolish "Jim Crow' cars on inter
state railroad trains and open up
parlor cars, sleeping ears, and din
ing cars to interstate negro passen-
gers all over the South.
Two communications on this sub
ject have already been received. The
first was letter from Chattanooga
negro calling on the Commission to
enforce the Hepburn law so as to do
away with "Jim Grow" ears, and
alleging that the separation Of the
races on interstate trains is such a
discrimination as is made illegal by
the Hepburn law. The second was
more specific and was in the form
Of a petition signed by negro resi-
dents of Mississippi, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Arkansas, Florida,
Tennessee, and Georgia. Tt says
"Under present conditions colored in
terstate passengers are denied equal
privileges with white passengers. Col
ored passengers are compelled by the
railroad to ride in what are commonly
known as 'Jim Crow cars, which are
usually filthy and uncomfortable, and
are denied also the right to eat in
railroad. dining cars and occupy
berths in sleeping cars, because Of
their color. This is violation Of the
Hepburn. railroad rate law, which
was passed by almost unanimous
vote Of Republicans and Democrats
in Congress, and which vests you,

treatment"

The sailing of North German
Lloyd steamer direct from Bremen
for Charleston, S. c., on Oct. IS
marks the beginning Of the first re-
gular transatlantic liner service be-
tween Europe and South Atlantic
port. The institution of this service
has been brought about by T.. J. Wat
son, the South Carolina immigration
commissioner who is now in Europe
for the purpose Of securing the immi-
grafton of laborers to that State,
and the object Of securing direct and
regular steamer service is to enable
immigrants to land at a South Caro-
lima port instead Of at New York
or some other Northern port from
which they might be diverted to other
parts Of the country. The South Car
olina commissioner is working alto
gether in the North Of Europe and is
encouraging only the most desirable
classes Of persons to come to the Uni
ted States. While his work is pri-
marily for the benefit Of South Car
olina, other Southern States will OBJ
tain advantages from it, as many Of
the immigrants who arrive at Char
lesion will find their way to points
all over the South wherever tho ', ct
opportunities are offered. The estab-
lishment Of steamer service with re-
gular sailings between Charlt' :, , and
Bremen will tend 70 aake ne .1Inth
more independent Of thp Northern
ports both for their passenger and
freight service and there is no doubt
that if this initial line proves profi-

tablished from other. SouSh ANontic
