PROCEEDINGS TO BE BEGUN
.nireots Acknowledgement to lnsti-
tute Them to Compel
Railroads to Act.
n, There is Nothing in the Law
rorbiddmg Separate Coaches
They Must be Equal.

washington, April s. - President
pooseyelt today made public his let
Gov =, April to the attorney general
directing proceedings by injunction to
oonrel certain railroads of the south
~ furnish equal accommodations TO
sbDe and negro passengers.
The text Of the presidents letter is
As follows:
10 the department of Justice:
% forward herewith the report OF
,be interstate commerce commission
containing its order Of June a. iaoG
,r5 the report of the failure of the
Tsilroad company to obey this order,
,,nder date of March %, 1908, to-
setber with letter of the commission
OF April /, 1905. IT appears that the
Nashville Chattanooga e st. Louis
Railway company has not complied
with the order Of the commission 10
furnish the same facilities TO colored
passengers paving first-class fare, that
are furnished To white passengers pay
ing frst.class fare. From time 10
time. various complaints have been
made TO me by colored people to the
effect that the recommendations furn-
ished to rolored persons on certain
railroads are 'ilthy and inadequate
compared to the same accommodation
furnished to white passengers paying
the same fare. The commission has
taken what is unquestionahly the
right ground; that where separate ac-
commodatons are provided for white
ana colored. the accommodations for
colorel passengers shall be as good
ss those furnished to white passengers
for the same money
IN other words, while there Is moth
INK in the law which forbids separate
accommodations, these accommnda-
tons must be equal This principle
d equity of accommodation is set
o.. expressly in various state laws For
isance. the code OF the state of Ala
ena provides that there shall be
equal but separate accommodation
fT gAite and colored races by pro-
Wiling tow or more passengers cars
ir each passenger train or by divil-
Sg the passenger cars by partitions
The action OF the commission has
simply been to insist tnas the accom-
a0dations be equal in convenience and
pniott for the same money, wher-
FER the separation Is made In this
ertlculd- case, where the railway has
tglected 10 comply with the order
the commission, II is Important that
snplance with this order he immed-
fely obtained. ] suggest that YOU
ioeeed to enforce the order by in
nction proceedings. unless in your
iigment some other course is pref
liable (Signed)

the big nursery and floral farm that

future. The promoter OF this ener-
prise, Mr.. A, ]. Muncy, has for
years conducted nursery near Lock-

that his success has been phenome-

the delicious basket OF fruit left at

by him, The assortment consisted OF
grapes, plums and peaches, and
while they are the last OF the crop.
they were nevertheless most con-
yincing evidence.

The five prizes offered are $1,000,

FOR AIR SHIPS

Friederichshafen, Germany, Aug.
22.-Count Zeppelin has announced
that he intends to found an lnsti-
tute for investigation OF the solution
Of air navigation in the interest of
the German industry of defense and
science. Contributions which have
been made by the public, he says,
are now far beyond the sum neces-
sary to replace the destroyed airship
and beyond the sum he intends to
accept oward recuperation OF his pri-
vate fortune, which he spent In air
ship experiments. All the surplus
he will add to an endowment of the
institute. The Bank of Stuttgart,
which is receiving subscriptions, has
$500, 900 deposited Zeppelin's credit
and this is probably s25O,OO0 less
than the amount subscribed y and
which will be available later.
