FLYING MACHINES HAVE CALL

Graft.

NEW YORK April s.-Action OF more
than ordinary Importance TO aeronsuts
here and abroad has been taken by the
Aero club of America, 1t having been de-
cided that the club shall practically give
further consideration of ordinary balloons
and dirigibles, and devote its ener-
gies to the development of the flying ma
chimes, or heavier than air craft.
The plan Is to establish an independent
section OF the club, to be devoted entirely
TO aviation, and the members OF this sec
ton will be charged with raising a fund
sufficient to carry on the experimental
work. suitable tract Of land has been
procured near New York for practice work
with aeroplanes and other heavier than
air devices, and adjacent TO this plot will
be machine shop and houses for the air
craft. When the machines are sufficiently
perfected they will be tested on govern
ment grounds at Fort Myer Va.

NEGRO SERVICE IN SOUTH

the whites.

WASHINGTON, April s. - President
Roosevelt today made public his letter OF
April to the attorney general directing
proceedings by injunction to compel GER
tain railroads OF the south to furnish equal
accommodations to white and negro pas
sengers.
The text Of the presidents letter is as
follows:
ITO the Department Of Justce-I forward
herewith the report of the Interstate Com
merce commission containing its order of
June q, 1907, and the report OF the failure
Of the railway company to obey this order.
under date Of March. 26, 1903, together with
a letter OF the commission of April 1, 1908.
ut appears that the Nashville Chatta-
nooga e. st. Louis Railway Company has
not complied with the order OF the com
mission to furnish the same facilities to
colored passengers paying first-class fare
that are furnished to white passengers
paying first-class fares. From time to
time various complaints have been made
to me by reputable colored people to the
effect that the accommodations furnished
to colored persons on certain railways are
filthy and Inadequate compared to the
same accommodations furnished to white
passengers paying the same fare. The
commission has taken what is unquestion-
ably the right ground: that where separate
accommodations are provided for white and
colored passengers the accommodations for
colored passengers shall be as good as
those furnished to white passengers for the
same money.
I'm other words, while there is nothing In
the law which forbids separate acconioda-
tions. these accommodations must be equal.
This principle OF equality of accommodations
Is set out explicitly in various state laws.
For instance the code OF the state of
Alabama provides that there shall be
equal but separate. accommodations for the
white and colored races. by providing two
or more passenger cars for each passenger
train. or by dividing the passenger cars by
partitions
"rhe action OF the commission has simply
been to insist that the Accommodations be
equal in convenience and comfort, 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 important that
compliance with this order be Immediately
obtained I suggest that you proceed to en-
force the order by Injunction proceedings,
unless in your judgment some other course
is preferable.

"If l am considered the most available
man, there will be no lack of appreciation
