EQUAL RIGHTS
ROOSEVELT MAKES PUBLIC LET
TER ABOUT JIM CROW LAW.
DEMANDS IMMEDIATE ACTION
Censures N. c. & St. l.. Railway for
Neglect Of the Blacks
Coaches.

Washington, April 9.-President
Roosevelt Wednesday made public his
letter of April 2 to the attorney gen
eral directing proceedings by injune-
ton to compel certain railroads OF the
South to furnish equal accommoda'
lions to white and negro passengers.
The text of the presidents letter is
as follows:
ITO the Department of Justice: l
forward herewith the report of the In
terstate commerce commission con-
tanning its order of June 81, 1907, and
the report Of the failure Of the railroad
company to obey this order under date
of March &c. 1908, together with a let
ter of the commission Of April l, 1908.
Scores N. c. G. ST. l.. Railway.
at appears that the Nashville, Chat
tanooga & st. Louis Railway Co. has
not complied with the order of the
commission to furnish the same facil-
tiles to colored passengers paying first
class fare that are furnished to white
passengers paying first-class fare.
From time to time various COM
plants have been made to me by repu-
table colored people to the effect that
the accommodations furnished to col
Ored persons on certain railroads are
filthy, are inadequate compared to the
same accommodations furnished to
white passengers paying the same
fare.
THE commission has taken what is
unquestionably the right ground; that
where separate accommodations are
provided for white and colored passen-
gers the accommodations for cOlOred
passengers shall be as good as those
furnished to white passengers FOR the
same money.
Separation Law Is Valid.
"In other words, while there is moth
ing in the law which forbids separate
accommodations, these accOmmoda-
tons must be equal. This principle of
equality of accommodation is set out
explicitly in various state laws. For
instance, the code of the state of Ala
bama provides that there shall be
equal Dut separate
for the white and cOlOred races, by
providing two or more passenger cars
for each passenger train, Or by divid-
ing the passenger cars by Partitions
The action of the commission has
simply been to insist that the accom-
mOdatiOns be equal in service and com
fort for the same money wherever the
separation is made.
"In this particular case where the
railway has neglected to comply with
the order of the commission it is i'm
portant hat compliance with this or
der be Immediately obtained. | sug-
gest that you take steps to Immediate
ly enforce the order by injunction pro-
ceedings, unless in your judgment
some other course is preferable"

Illinois Banker a Suicide.

Chicago, April 6.-J. A. HOssack, a
banker of Odell, ILL.,, jumped from the
eighth floor of the Auditorium annex
Sunday. He was instantly killed.
The window from which he leaped
opens on a court and many other
guests of the hotel saw the suicide.
The act is thought to have been the
result of sudden insanity, as Hcssack
has been in i'll health of late and
was here on his way in an effort to
find a climate more suitable than this
for one in his physical condition.

BILL PASSES
ASSURANCES GIVEN THAT SEN
ATE WILL NOT BLOCK THE
MEASURE.
STERLING IS THE AUTHOR
Littlefield of Maine Is the Only Vote
Cast in Opposition to the Bill.
Minority Wants
Honor.

Washington, April THE employ
ers' liability bill was passed by the
house of representatives Monday aft
ernoOn under a suspension of rules,
with 20 minutes debate on a side. The
action of the house has been frequent
ly and accurately understood that the
Republican leaders in the two houses
gave assurances to the president that
it was their intention to pass such
measure as soon as the opinion of the
United States supreme court was
handed down declaring the bill passed
at the last session of the congress un-
constitutional.
A month ago Representative Jenk-
ms, chairman of the judiciary commit
tee, consulted with Speaker Cannon
as to the program for passing the bill.
An informal anvas revealed that a
majority of the members of the house
we're favorable to the bill.
Mr.. Jenkins then set about getting
the bill from his committee. The de-
lay in this process has not been due
to opposition by party leaders, but
that there were SO many bills re-
ferred to the committee which pro-
posed to correct errors pointed out by
the supreme court.
The decision was made finally in
favor of the bill offered by Represent
alive Sterling of Illinois.
LittlefieId Causes Delay.
Representative Littleield of Maine
was next responsible for delay. He
had a radical prohibition bill before
the committee which had the right OF
way. Because he is a member of the
judiciary committee the members
were loath to put the employers liza
bility bill forward and sidetrack Mr..
Littlefield's measure.
The speaker suggested that the bill
be put on its passage on general sus-
pension day. The committee having
determined to get the bill before the
house for Mondays session, it was
necessary to ride rough shOd over Mr..
Littlefield and put the bill out of the
committee with a favorable report.
The bill, soon after its passage, was
sent over to the senate. There the
Republican leaders say it will be
passed without important amendment.
