Decision Handed Down
by the Interstate Com
merce Board.
Member Lane Declares
Separate Compartments
Are Not Contrary
to Law.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has handed down a decision reafhrming
The right OF interstate railways TO
operate "jim crow cars. but declaring
that the accommodations for negroes
must equal those provided for white
passengers.
The case decided is that of Georgia;
Edwards, colored, who, while en- route
from Chattanooga, Tenn, TO Dalton,
Ga. on a first-class ticket. was forced
into a separate compartment by a con-
ductor on the Nashville. Chattanooga,
and st. Louis Railway.
Although based on the question OF I'M
equal accommodations, the action was
brought to determine the right OF inter-
state carriers 70 discriminate against
passengers on account of race. 1t was
the first test under the new rate law.
Commissioner Lane, in his opinion,
said:
while the reasonableness Of regula-
tons TO segregate white and colored
passengers is established, il by no
means follows that carriers may dis
eliminate between white and colored
passengers in the accommodations which
they furnish 20 each.
IF a railroad provides certain facili-
ties and accommodations for first-class
passengers OF the white race. it is COM
rnanded by the law that like accommO-
dations shall be provided for colored
passengers OF the same class. The prin-
ciple that must govern is that the car
riers must serve equally well all pas
sengers. whether white or colored, pay
ing the same fare. Failure to do this Is
determination. and subjects the pas
senger to undue and unreasonable
Vl Hxraf NJ q
"It will be ordered in this case that
where the defendant carrier provides a
wash bowl and towels In coaches de-
voted 10 the use of white passengers
and a separate smoking compartment
for such passengers, also that similar
accommodations shall be provided fol
negro passengers paying hrst-clas'
fare"

INTEREST IN CONTEST is WIDESPREAD.

yet up to the figures which the
proposition merits. The man who
places advertising in The Times to-
day is getting an unusual bargain.
Compared with the rates charged by
its principal competitor, those Of
The Times are exceptionally low.
The Times makes but one charge for
its advertising, and adds nothing for
the use of black-faee type, preferred
position, cuts, etc. With its circula-
ton today fully 1000 greater than
that of the Star, with its advertising
rates that are lower, The Times
stands forth distinctly as Washing
toms greatest advertising value.

Circulation Mostly Local.
Advertising Manager.

Advertising Manager.
The Washington Times, City.
Dear Sir: You say, I think, that the
total daily circulation Of The Times Is
somewhere about 1900, but what per-
centage OF that goes to people within
so convenient reach OF Washington that
they make their purchases in Washing
ton stores? That, II seems TO me, is
very important point X Y. T.
Answer.-You are right, this is an
important point, and The Times is
proud of its showing in this regard.
The average daily net circulation of
The Times for the first six months
of 1907 was 1919. Of this number
only LIS go further away from
Washington than Rockville. Thus
more than 81 per cent of the total
circulation of The Times is in the
shopping district. In few cities of
the country does a paper having
100000 total circulation have as
large a shopping district circulation
as has The Times. No other news
paper in the whole country, SO far
as can be learned, has so large a
proportion of local circulation.

The fact that the contest IS open 10 all,
without limiting conditions. and without
the slightest cost Of competition, has
spread the interest among people who
have perhaps read advertisements all
their lives. but who have never written
one; people who know what kind of an
advertisement appeals TO them. and so
would mold their efforts along similar
grooves. 1t Is suggested TO all non-pro-
fessional contestants that II Is well 10

on the point OF arrangement OF matter.
Many have asked what kind OF an
advertisement is desired-an argument
catch-phrase, a picture story, or
what? Any description or limitation
along these lines was purposely omitted
In the announcement, in order that the
contestants should have an entirely free

The test OF success will be the effect

Complaints Made Against
Concern, But It Is Held
They Don't Deceive.
Present Laws Do Not Per-

An interesting question which has
been previously threshed out by the
Postoffice Department Is developed by
the demand OF one OF the leading mag
azines that a fraud order be Issued
against Chicago concern which cir
culates advertising matter descriptive Of
the attractiveness OF their crooked"
dice or near-ivory tubes.
And thereby hangs a tale OF the in
ability of the department to cope with
the situation under the present laws

raised being what Is known as fine

that tho fraud order statute provides
that fraud orders forbidding the use Of

intent TO defraud another person. Now
there Is no doubt that these people are
engaged in making crooked 5ice. but
they advertise what they make. and the
purchaser who sends for these crooked
dice receives exactly what he wants
