Commission to Hold Hearing ON Conn
plant of Negro Churchmen.

Washington, April 10.-The inter-
state @acommerce commission expects
soon to hold a hearing in a case of
great interest in connection with the
letter sent by President Roosevelt to
the department of justice with regard
to enforcing the laws requiring equal
accommodations for negro and white
passengers. The case is that of five
bishops of the African Methodist
Episcopal church against four large
railroads of the south and the Pull
man company. Inferior accommOda-
tons for passengers of the African
race, the refusal of sleeping car and
dining car facilities and other alleged
determinations constitute the grounds
for the complaint.
The letter to the department of JUS
tice made public by the president
Wednesday resulted from the decision
of the interstate commerce commission
in the case OF Georgia Edwards against
the Nashville. Chattanooga & st. Louis
Railroad company to the effect that
the order of the commission requiring
equal accommodations to all passen-
gers had not been complied with by
that road. 1t is held that the law per-
mits separate accommodations for
whites and negroes, but requires the
same facilities for both.
The complaint, while aimed at all
railroads operating in the south, is
made directly against the Seaboard Air
Line railway, the Richmond, Fred
ericksburg & Potomac Railroad COM
pany, the Southern railroad. the Cen
trail of Georgia Railroad company and
the Pullman company. all of which
practically have denied the charges
contained in the complaint made by
Bishops Wesley NJ. Gaines and H. M.
Turner of Atlanta; Evans Tyree Of
Nashville; c. s. Smith of Detroit and
E. H hampton of Washington. D. c.
A petition from the general confer
ence of the African Methodist Episco-
pal church accompanies the complaint.

BREAKS OUT IN FIRST GRADES
Organization of Secret Societies
Among Chicago School Children.

Chicago; April 10.-The discovery
that the organization of secret So
cieties is extending to the pupils of
Chicago elementary schools has pre-
sented the board of education with a
new problem to solve. Simultaneous
with this discovery, President
Schneider prepared an anti-frat
pledge which must be signed by all
high school students.
When the board passed its rule
abolishing high school "frats" after
September 1, it did not occur to the
trustees that there might be fraternf-
ties and sororities elsewhere within
their Jurisdiction.
Principal Archibald o. Coddington
of the Stewart grade school, called on
President Schneider yesterday with
the news that about twenty girls in
the upper grades of his school have
formed sorority-with initiation
rites and oaths of secrecy. The
YOUNGSTERS, he said. would not know
a Greek motto from a Chinese
laundry ticket. but they had adopted a
perfectIy good Greek letter name.
In order that there may be no mis-
taking of the meaning of the anti
frat rule, every pupil in the school
system is to be directed to sign the
pledge, promising to withdraw from
membership in any secret society or.
in the case of those who have not
been members of the organizations,
promising not to join them

Mr.. Pitcher is steam filter and plumb

exchange cost him S125 and the cross suit
is brought for that amount.

WaterviIIe Team Wins.

A Waterville local team went to
North Vassalboro Saturday afternoon
to compete with the socalled irwin
cibles from that town. The team from
this city was made up Of men from
both clerks teams and they found no
difficulty in shutting out their oppo-
nents Is to 0. The game was too one
sided to be interesting. Perry, the East
side pitcher, was in the box for the
Waterville team and had his opponents
at his mercy. He was given excellent
support behind the bat by Simpson and
the other fielders played well. The
Vassalboro team used three pitchers
and O'Keefe, their mainstay, was hit
as hard as the others. The feature of
the game was the batting of the Wa
terVille team
