JIM CROW LAW VALID
interstate Commission Decides
1t Doesn't Discriminate.
Sh%E COMFORTS FOR ALL
Law Enacted BY Southern States Pc
quiring Railroads to Furnish sepa-
rate Coaches For the Races Upheld
Without Dissenting Opinion.

Washington. July 9-The Interstate
commerce commission has decided
that the Jim Crow car law is not dis
criminatory where equal facilities are
furnished TO both races. In passing
upon the constitutionality of the laws
enacted by southern states requiring
railroads TO furnish separate coaches
for the races. the commission holds
that the broad question Of the right
under the 18th and 14th amendments
Of the constitution to segregate white
and colorod passengers has been up
held by the supreme court OF the Unit
ed States"
The decision in the Jim Crow car
ease was written by Commissioner
Franklin x. Lane of Sallfornia. and
there was not dissenting opinion
among the entire membership OF the
commission. This fact I'm itself Is sig
uihcant. for when the railway rate bill
was before congress one OF the most
persistent arguments offered in oppo-
sition To the measure by its opponents
in the south related to the possibility
| ot the people OF that section being
| deprived of the right TO compel ne
groes To ride I'm separate coaches
\ few months AGO a Washington ne
gro brought suit for damages against
n local railroad for being compelled to
ride i'm Jim Crow car entering the
state of Maryland. The contention was
| advanced that the accommodation in
the car provided for the negroes did
not furnish the facilities in the cars
a.T.. L..
verdict for one cent was given TO the
negro and that ended the litigation
Since that time the Afro-American
League and other negro organizations
have urged that ight be made In the
courts 90 upset the Jim Crow car law.
The most recent outcry against tte
law providing separate coaches for the
races was that of Senator Foraker in
his speech at Wilberforce O. when
he urged the negroes 10 resist the On.
forcement of this law
The ease before the Interstate com
mercc commission that resulted in the
decision upholding the Jim Crow car
law was brought by Georgia Edwards
a negro woman. against the Asheville
| Chattanooga & St Louis railway. The
negro woman attacked the provisions
Of the rate bin Immediately after its
! passage bv congress. and it was gen.
orally 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 hrst-class pas
sage from Chattanooga. Tenn. 10 Dal-
ton. Ca she entered the car assigned
To the use of white passengers and
was promptly removed therefrom 10
the car assigned 20 the negroes
Through her attorney she tiled com
plant alleging discrimination in the
| facilities furnished TO her as against
those provided for white passengers.
The commission held a hearing in
the case. appointed a day for argu-
ment and then. after careful consider
alton. decided in favor OF the refend-
, ant railroad.

MEMORY IMPROVED
Since Leaving Of Coffee.

Many persons suffer from poor
memory who never suspect coffee has
anything to do with it.
The drug-caffeine-in coffee, acts
injuriously on the nerves and heart,
causing imperfect circulation, too
much in the brain at one time. too
little in another part. This often
causes a dullness which makes good
memory nearly impossible
at am nearly 70 years old and did
not know that coffee was the cause
of the stomach and heart trouble I
suffered from for many years, until
about four years ago. writes a Kan
