Washington, May 3l.-An attempt
to have the Supreme Court Of the
United States pass on the authority
of common carries engaged in inter

regulations met with failure today,
when the court dismissed the So

The question arose in q suit which
j. A. Alexander Ghiles, a negro,
brought for damages against the

Chiles brought q through ticket

Over the objection Of q brakeman,
Chiles insisted on riding in q coach

was compelled by the conductor to
go into the coach set aside for colored
persons.
In the suit for damages, the rail
road relied on the defense that it had

vided as follows: Railroad, 3,29S; rail-
road relocation force, 1,G03; railroad
commissary force. 1,016; Isthmian Ca

I'm which the La Toilette or radical
progressive wing has steadily beaten
its opponents At the primary cleo
tion on September 6, Senator La Fol-
lette won the nomination for the
scnatorship by majority over his OPP
ponent of 1O2 out of total vote of
about 10000, the total vote at the
primary being a good deal less than
one half the total Republican vote as
shown by the presidential election of
1898 when Taft received about 425,-
600 votes i'm the state.
The Democratic candidates pollcd
at the primary a bare twenty per cent
of their presidential vote OF two years
before, but the enmities in the Repub-
lcan party together with the cheer
from the result in Maine has caused
them to "perk up and they have pre-
scntcd a platform that is the strong
est that party has pronounced in many
years Their ticket is also an unusu-
ally strong one, most of their candid
ates being popular men with few II
fany enemies i'm their party. ON the
ether hand, while the Republican can
didates won their nomination by large
maiorities there is "A large element in
the Republican party that does not like
