TAKES SIDES WITH THE NEGRO
President Issues Decree as to Rail
road Accommodations.
Makes II Known that Blacks Must
Be Given Equal Rights-Injunc-

President Roosevelt made Il known yes
terday that he will compel the railroads
in Southern States to provide equal ac-
commodatlons for white and colored pas
sengers.
He directed that injunction proceedings.
or some other adequate course Of action,
be instituted by the Department Of JUS
tiee against the Nashville. Chattanooga.
and ST. Louis Railroad.
This road. according TO a report OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission, has
failed TO afford equal travelling accommo-

Politicians viii find plenty OF food for

prove that they took 70 part in and had

Their wrath is directed as much against

OLD man WOULD SAVE HOME
Charges MOney-lender with Attempt
to Defraud Him.
Aged Invalid Says Tribby's Refusal
to RecOnvey Property Is Viola
tiOn OF Agreement.

George A. Hawkins and Elizabeth Haw-
kins, an aged couple, the former an in
valid nearly seventy years old, yesterday
filed bill in equity praying injunction
to restrain Charles 2. Tribby, a money
lender, from prosecuting a suit he has
fled before Justice Of the Peace Mills, by
which he seeks TO eject them from their
home, at 1920 New Hampshire avenue, and
also for an accounting.
The bin sets forth that in May. 1904
Mr., Hawkins was the owner Of the prem
ises named and borrowed about $1,000
from a bank, for which he gave notes
secured by a deed of trust In January.
1907, 1t is stated. Hawkins was behind in
the payment OF the notes.
Tribby agreed to advance money sufi-
cient to pay them of and an additional
sum Of S24O.
AS security he demanded that a deed
conveying the real estate to him be exc
cuted, It is alleged. and he agreed to
reeonvey the property to Hawkins when
the S2i0 was paid, taking a deed OF trust
as security for the balance.
The deed was executed, it is stated. and
the debt of $40 has been discharged. but
Tribby refuses to reconvey.
The bill charges that Tribby loaned
Hawkins in all 1880 and the property is
valued at $500. and has instituted pro-
ceedirgs TO eject Hawkins and his wife
these proceedings being set for hearing
on April 10.
It is charged that Tribby's refusal to
reconvey is an attempt to defraud the
complainants of their home for less thgn
half its value
Justice CIabaugh signed a rule requir-
ing Tribby TO appear and show cause why
the injunction should not be issued.

school" He said that from the class Of
pupils who remained in the Sunday. school
after reaching their eighteenth year, the
church gained s. per cent In members.
This fact proved that the church should
encourage Sunday school work
The ultimate purpose Of the Sunday
school" said Mr.. Mussellman. may be
grouped under four heads. First we try
&c inspire the pupils to engage in what
may be termed personal evangelism.
More persons are won for Christ through
personal effort than any amount Of spec
tacular demonstration. Secondly. We try
to awaken spirit of brotherhood among
the men IN the Sunday school classes.
Labor unions and other such organiza-
tons are imbued with this spirit. IN
less we arouse the same feeling in the
church. we VIII lose out.
Thirdly, We encourage reform work.
such as the temperance movement. our
last aim is 70 establish a system of train
ing for teachers and workers in the SIN
