JIM-CROW CAR KICK
IS GIVEN TURN DOWN

WASHINGTON. June 29.--Five bishops
Of the African Methodist Episcopal
church, who complained to the interstate
commerce commission that they were dis
eliminated against by southern railroads.
and by the Pullman company in transport
tation, dining car and sleeping car facil-
iteis, have been informed by the commits
sion that their complaint was not wer-
ranted.
The bishops were Wesley ]. Gaines, H.
NJ. Turner, Evans Tyree, c. c. Smith
and E w. Hampton. Their complaint was
directed against the Seaboard Air Line,
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Po-
tomac, the Southern railway, the Central
of Georgia, and the Pullman company.
It was alleged that the day coaches fur
nished for negro passengers in the south
eastern states were not equal to those
provided for white people; that negroes
were denied sleeping car accommodations;
and that they were refused food in the
dining cars solely on account of their
color
At the hearing of the case the COM
plant as to the day coaches was aban-
doned In view of the weight of testi-
mony to the contrary; and with respect
to the dining car facilities, the allegations
were modified by concession. Most of the
compliments and their witnesses testi-
fed that they actually did ride on sleep
ing cars.
1t Is held by the commission, in its de-
cision, that undue discrimination or preJu-
dice was not shown, and the complaint,
therefore. was dismissed.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, anu when 1t is en-
tirely closed. Deafness is the result
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused By Catarrh, which is moth

mucous surfaces.

KISS BY MARRIED MAN
CAUSED FATAL DUEL

NEW YORK, June 30-Although duel
ling is nominally illegal in Germany, de-
tails OF a most remarkable encounter in
which the preliminaries were arranged by
the state are given in a cable message
from Berlin which states that Lieutenant
Granier shot and killed Lieutenant Zwit-
gers near Blankenburg.
Zwitzers, although a married man with
family, tried to kiss Granier's fiance
and a military court Of honor sanctioned
the duel and arranged the fight Two
companies Of infantry kept the grounds.
A locomotive and an ambulance car were
provided by the state railway to carry
the expected victim to the nearest hospi-
tai Granier's first shot pierced his oppo-
nent's lungs and the wounded man died
in the hospital soon after the special
train got him there
Lieutenant Granier will probably now
undergo a few months convertible deten-
ton in a fortress, the message declares.
