Makes Public Letter to Depart
ment of Justice Relative to
Violations in South
RAILWAYS MUST OBEY LAW
Negroes Who Pay First Class Fare
Must Have Accommodations Equal
to Those Provided for Whites-ln-
structs Department to Begin Suits
Against Railways.

Washington, April S.-President
Roosevelt today made public his letter
of April 2, to the attorney general, di-
recting proceedings by injunction to
compel certain railroads of the south
to furnish equal accommodations to
white and negro passengers.
The text of the presidents letter fol-
lows:
"To the Department of Justice:
forward herewith the report of the in
terstate commerce commission con-
tanning its order of June n, 1907, and
the report Of the failure of the railroad
company to obey the order, under date
of March 26, together with the letter
of the commission of April l. 1t APP
pears the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis Railway Company has not COM
piled with the order of the commits
sion to furnish the same facilities to
coiored passengers paying first class
fare that are furnished to white pas
sengers paying first class fare. From
time to time various complaints have
been made to me by reputable colored
people to the effect that accommoda-
tions furnished to coored persons on
certain railways are filthy and made
quate compared to the same accommo-
dations furnished to white passengers
paying the same fare.
"rhe commission has taken what is
unquestionably the right ground, that
where separate accommodations are
provided for white and colored pas
sengers the accommodations for col
ored passengers shall be as good as
that furnished to white passengers for
the same money. In other words, while
there is nothing in the law which for-
Saids separate accommodations, these
esceonim odations must be equal This
principle of equality of accommodation
is set out explicitly in the various state
laws. For instance, the code of the
state of Alabama provides there shall
be equal, but separate accOmmo odations
for the white and colored races, by
providing two or more passenger cars
by partitions The action of the COM
mission was simply to insist that ac-
commodations be equal i1 convenience
and comfort, for the same money,
wherever SUCH .separation is made. In
this particular case, where the rail-
way has neglected to comply with the
order of the commission, 1T Is import
ant that compliance with this order be
immediately obtained. ] suggest that
you proceed to enforce the order by in
junction proceedings, unless in your
judgment some other course is pre-
ferable.
"(Signed,)
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"

THE M'KEE SUIT
scandalous Counter Allegations Of
Husband Regarding Wife, in Paris
Divorce Case, EmphaticalIy Refuted
BY Mrs. Mckee's Council.

Paris. April S.-The hearing of the
day. The suit was brought by Mrs.
Mckee. formerly Mrs. Hugh Tevis,
against A. Hart Mckee. and the first
hearing took place March 4. Mrs. NC
kee, thru her counsel described all
legged indignities to which she had
been subjected by her husband. Nc
Kee retaliated two weeks later by
bringing scandalous counter charges
against his wife, thru Maitre Labori.
Today Maitre Barboux, on behalf Of
Mrs. Mckee conducted the pleading
in rebuttal The Italian nobleman
with VIII nm it is alleged that Mrs. Nc
kee had improper relations at a chau-
teau at Varennes, was identified as
Marquis Guglieni. Barbour denied
Mckees allegations and offered to
produce testimony from physicians to
show that his wife's physical condi-
tion at the time specified was such as
to disprove the charges. He said the
real object Of the defense was not to
furnish information to the French
court, but TO besmirch Mrs. Mckee's
reputation in America and secure the
publication there of certain letters she
mad written to her husband. s
Advancing to a position close to the
bar, and speaking in voice inaudible
to the people in court, Barbour read
to the judge to demonstrate the ami
mus of Mckee, the translation OF a
secret code of words used in letters be-
tween the couple. In conclusion, Bar
boux gave Mckee a severe arraign-
ment. saying that he would have only
himself to blame If his friends turned
their backs upon him when he re-
turned to America. "This man." Bar
boux declared. "has failed to compre-
hend that in insulting his former wife
he also insults the mother of his child"
Maitre Labori, for Mckee, will reply
tomorrow, and the court hand down a
decision after April 10Th.

NEW DEAL IN DAKOTA.

Gratis for Senator.

Gratis for Senator.
Mitchell, S. D., April before the
democratic convention met today a
new deal was sprung after it had been
supposedly settled that Ex-Governor
Lee was to be accepted as the candi-
date for the United States senate.
Some earnest work on the part Of his
followers brought about the situation
that Lee now stands for the nominal
ton of governor and Senator Petit
grew has been approached to become
a candidate for United States senator.
Pettigrew takes the situation with an
Indifferent attitude.
Gold democrats of the Cleveland
regime are quite active in the work
that is being carried on and are try
ing to secure hold on the national
delegation to Denver, but they are not
meeting with any great success and
are being thwarted at every turn by
the straight democracy. They endorse
Lee and .Pettigrew at this time, but
are trying to put up a state ticket to
receive the endorsement of the con-
vention.
