STATEMENT REGARDING Az.
THoRsH,P OF PuBLlclTY'BlLL.
DRAFTED BY DILLON
Belmont and Chandler Assert That
Representative From West Virginia
Gave Erroneous impression About
Merrill Bill.

washington, April 8.-With refer
ence to the authorship and publisher
Of the publicity bills nov pending in
the senate and house, Perry Belmont,
president Of the National Publicity
Bill organization, and former Senator
W. a.. Chandler, Of the committee on
legislation. tonight gave out a state.
ment asserting that Representative
Gaines Of West Virginia, chairman Of
the house committee to which the
publicity bill has been referred, in
his published statement gave an er.
roneous impression about the Merrill
bill.
This bill, Messrs. Belmont and
Chandler. said, was originally drafted
by Judge John Dillon Of the law com
mittee Of the publicity association and
not by Mr.. Belmont, who is chairman
Of the executive committee Of the
/ same association.
Equally incorrect, It is further de
clared, is Mr.. Gaines statement that
the bill would not make public cam
paign contributions, but simply di
vert such contributions from nationa
committees to smaller committees;
from those having the greatest public
ity to those having the least pub
licity; that 1t would make public NJ
contributions except as some ricf
man might contribute to one party o
the other for the giving himsel
standing in that party"

President Roosevelt Instructed the

Interstate Commerce Ruling Rela-

Washington, April 8.-President
Roosevelt today made public his let
ter of April 2 to the attorney general
directing proceedings by injunction to
compel certain railroads Of. the coun-
-ry to render equal accommodation to
white and negro passengers.
The text Of the presidents letter
is as follows:
""To the Department Of Justice: /
forward herewith the report of the
Interstate commerce commission con-
tanning its order Of June q, 1907, and
the report Of the failure Of the rail-
road companies to cAey this order I'M
der date of March 26,. 1908, together
with a letter Of the commission of
April 1, 1908.
Railroads Violating It.
"It appears that the Nashville,
Chattanooga & st. Louis Railroad
company has not complied with the
order Of the commission to furnish
the same facilities to colored passen-
gers holding first class fare that are
furnished to white passengers paying
first class fare.
From time to time various CON.
plants have been made to me by
colored people to the effect that the
accommodations furnished to colored
passengers on certain railroads are
filthy and Inadequate compared tc
the same accommodations furnished
to white passengers paying the same
fare. The commission has taken
what is unquestionably the right
ground that If separate accommoda
lions are provided for white and col
ored the accommodations for colored
passengers shall be as good as those
Of the white passengers furnished fol
the same money.
Accommodations Must Be Equal.
I'm other words, while there Is moth
ing in the law which forbids separate
accommodations, these accommoda
lions must be equal. This principle
Of equity of accommodation is Sc
out expressly in every state law. Fol
instance, the code Of the state Of Ala
bama provides that there shall b.
equal but separate accommodation
for the white and colored races b.
providing two or more passenger car
for each passenger train or by divid
ing the passenger cars by partitions
'"The action Of the commission ha
simply been to insist that the &C
commodations be equal in convenience
and comfort for the same money
wherever the separation is made. i
this particular case where the raj
way has neglected to comply wit
the order of the commission it is in
portant that compliance with this OF
der be had forthwith.

Mr.. Payne said he knew there wat
some "cheap talk about taxing in
diligence, but he said:
why not hear this subject as In
telligent men and not go into hysteric'
over the matter?"
Addressing the democrats, MI
Payne said the difficulty was that thu
