u. r. French, state senatoreIect
from this district has drafted a
bill providing for separate railway
car accommodation for the white nd
colored races which 1t Is believed will
meet with general approval This
bill will be presented at the coming
session Of the Legislature. There is
no intention 10 work a hardship on
he roads in the northern part OF the
state where the colored travel
amounts TO but little, and with this
end in view Mr.. French has drafted
his bill, which provides for separate
seats in the same coaches i'm parts
in parts OF the State where the col.
ored travel Is light. Where the tray
81 Is heavy there must be either par
titioned or individual coaches. In an
interview regarding the proposed bill
Mr.. French says:
The separate accommodation for
White and coIored passengers upon
our railroad trains can scarcely be
considered party measure through
ont this section OF the state. the
demand for It being practically unan.

In the final games of the state league

play Murray at Walkers field, and Salt
Lake will play at Ogden.
The final games will not affect the
standing OF the clubs. no matter what the
result may be. II, the Occidentals beat
Murray the Smelter team will still lead
by one game. II Murray beats the Occi-
dentals. the negroes will still retain sec
ond place. Salt Lake is too far In the
rear to hope to get anywhere even II
II does take the final game.
The game at Walkers field should be
particularly interesting because OF the
fact that Murray and the Occidentals are
very evenly matched and the rivalry be-
tween the teams is great. Hummel. the
Salt Lake favorite, will pitch for Muir
ray, and the elongated Mooney Will twirl
for the negroes.
Following the close OF the state league
