JIM-CROW CAR LAW VALID.
COMMERCE COMMISSION DECIDES IT IS NOT
DISCRIMINATION
Unanimous Opinion, HOzVeVey, Requires
Railroads to Furnish Equal Facil- =.
itieS to Races
From the Post.

From the Post.
The Interstate CONNER Commission
has decided that the Jim Crow car law
is not discriminatory where equal ia
cilities are furnished both races. In
passing upon the constitutionality of the
laws enacted by Southern States requir-
ing railroads to furnish separate coaches
for the races, the commission holds that
the broad question of the right under the
thirteenth and fourteenth amendments Of
the Constitution to segregate white and
colored passengers has been upheld by
the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The decision in the Jim Crow car case
was written by Commissioner Franklin
K. Lane of California, and there was not
a dissenting opinion among the members
of the commission. This fact in itself
is significant, for when the railway rate
bill was before Congress one of the most
persistent arguments offered in opposi-
ton to the measure by its opponents in
the South related to the possibility Of
the people of that section being deprived
of the right to compel blacks to ride in
separate coaches.
The case before the Interstate Com
merce Commission, which resulted III
the decision upholding the Jim Crow
car law, was brought by Georgia Ed
wards, a colored woman, against the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis
Railway She invoked the provisions of
the rate bill Immediately after its pass
age by Congress, and it was generally
understood that she was acting for many
prominent Negroes in the South and
North. Her first move was to purchase
a ticket emitting her to frst-claSs pass
age from Chattanooga, Tenn, to Dalton,
Ga. She entered the car assigned to
white passengers, and was promptly re-
moved therefrom to the car assigned
to the colored people. Through her at
torney, she fled complaint attacking
the law and alleging discrimination in
the facilities furnished to her as against
those provided for white passengers.
The commission heard arguments on
the case, and while affirming the valid
ity of the law, found the complaint as
to inferior accommodations we'll founded
and ordered the railroad to provide
equal facilities for colored passengers.

THE ATTEMPT TO
BLOW UP All HOY

Garden Island-Ah Hoy, his wife
and six children had narrow escape
from meeting with violent death last
Monday morning, as it is they were
all badly shaken and have their house
considerably damaged.
About four o'clock Monday morning
Sheriff Rice was awakened by an in
sistent ringing of the telephone bell.
1t proved to be call from Manager
Sanborn of Hanalei informing him that
what looked to be an attempt to muir
der had been committed in his neigh
borhood about an hour earlier and ask.
ing that somebody of authority be sent
over to investigate. The Sheriff imme-
diately set off for the place and on
self.
He found that All Hoy, who keeps
a store down by the bridge, had been
awakened at three clock in the morn
ing by finding himself being thrown
violently out of bed. The loud report
that accompanied this was followed
by the creaking of the timbers of the
house and the screams of the members
of his family. AS soon as he could
get lamp lighted he found the floor
torn up, his bed in which he and his
wife were sleeping to have been de-
molished and the hair singed off his
wife's head.
Investigation by himself and neigh
bors who had been attracted by the
defamation revealed the battered re-
mains of a 25-pound can of black
powder right under his bedroom, also
what was left of two punk sticks which
had evidently been used as fuse.
The top of the can was blown off
and the side was bursted open but not
in several places as would have been
the case if the can had been full. Only
the fact that the can evidently had
been only partially filed, and also that
the house stood high over the ground
on which the can was placed saved
the family from death and the house
from being utterly demolished.
No evidence could be discovered at
the time to connect the culprit with
the act, although strong suspicion points
to certain resident of the valley. |
The police is, however, working on the
case and may within short time be able
to forge the connecting link.

BRITISH SHIPS
ONLY FOR CARGO

When asked what he knew of the
British company which, according to
the Associated Press reports. would
start a line between San Francisco and
the Colonies in the month OF August,
w. G.. Irwin, president OF w. G. Irwin
& Co., agents for the Oceanic boats.
said:
II suppose that the line is the same
one that was talked of before / left
San Francisco. In that case the boats
which they will put on will be simply
freighters. and being in all probability
English bottoms, will carry no freight
between here and San Francisco. I
cannot see where they will make the
business pay. There is only limited
amount of freight to be carried and
this Is principally flax and jute, which
Is all cheap freight, in which there Is
no great margin of profit.
I'm order to pay a subsidy from the
United States and also from the Aus
tralian government is necessary and
OF course there Is no chance that the
American government will offer any
subsidy to British shipping where they
will not do so to ships which\ were
built in the United States. Something
should be done in this line for the
benefit of American shipping but Con-
gress cannot seem at present to see
the matter In the same light that we

Sierra Tuesday. Mr.. Wood has been
in Hawaii for some little time con-
Quoting series of interesting expert
ments for the American Derrick and
Hosting Company of st. Paul at the
Waialua plantation. This company
thought that they had solved the mat
ter of practical cane loader and spent
a large amount OF money at Waialua
in order to prove that their scheme
was not a success. The only result so
far Is large number OF derricks about
the Waialua fields. but Mr.. Wood
thinks that he has learned enough in
his experiments to invent a machine
that will work. He will develop this
idea in st. Paul and return to Honolulu
again to introduce his patent to the

Discovery" Is not so good for
acute coughs arising from sudden

cure consumption in its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that
but for all the obstinate hang-on,
or chronic coughs, which, if neg.
lected, or badly treated, lead up to
consumption, II Is the best med.

It's an Insult to your intelll.
gence for a dealer to endeavor to
palm off upon you some nostrum
of nnknoun COMPOSITION in place OF
DIR. Pierce's world famed medicines
which are OF KNOWN COMPOSITION.
Most dealers recommend Doctor
Pierce's medicines because they
know what they are made Of and
that the ingredients employed are
among the most valuable that q
medicine for like purposes can be
made of. The same is true OF
leading physicians who do not hes
itate to recommend them, since
they know exactly what they con-
tain and that their ingredients are
the very best known to medical
science for the cure Of the several
diseases for which these medicines
are recommended.
With tricky dealers II Is diff.
ferent.
Something else that pays them Q
little greater profit will be urged
upon you as "just as good, )" or even
better. You can hardly afford to
accept substitute et HnknoYn COM
position and without any particular
record of cures in place OF Doctor
Pierce's medicines which are OF

record Of forty years of n,es behind
them. You know what you want

supply that want. Issit .tex Il.
