NEW YORK CO-EDS
DRAW The COLOR LINE

Ithaca, n "A petition signed by
more than 200 girls comprising a MAJ
jority of the total number of women
students in Cornell University has
been forwarded to President Schur-
mann, protesting against the admis-
sion Of coiored women to Sage Col
lege dormitory.
The petition is the result Of an
application made within a week or
so by two colored girls to be assign
ed to rooms in Sage dormitory. 1t is
believed that these two acted pur-
suant 10 plan among colored stu
dents to put the case squarely up to
the university authorities and to COM
pei some definite decision. The pc
titon will go before the board of
trustees at the next regular meeting.
The first outbreak came several
weeks ago when the Cornell Era pub
iished an article by James 3. Clark,
negro student from Castries, West
Indies, in which he asserted that ne
gro girls could not get accommoda-
tions and charged that the Ezra Cor
nell ideals were being Knocked at by
those responsible.
The publication of this article
brought out a storm of comment and
raised rumpus among the co-eds.
Mrs. Gertrude Martin, the adviser of
women, admitted that last year she
had told two cOlored girls they had
better apply elsewhere than Sage col
{ lege for their rooms, but said it was
out Of kindness that she did so, as
she knew the other girls would
make it unpleasant for them.

ARE BROKEN
FOR WESTERN TRAVEL
$4,000 COLONISTS ARRIVE
ON COAST IN THIRTY DAYS
Railroad Officials Say Southern Coast
Is Benefited Most-5O,OOO Go to
Oalifornia-Preyious Spring Is
Eclipscd.

Chicago.-Revised statistics compil-
ed by officials of the Hartman lines
and reports furnished by representa-
tives of other railroads which ham
died colonist passenger business to
the Pacific coast during the 30-day
period ending April 10 displose that
all records for that class of travel
during the annual spring period were
smashed this year.
Tables that have been compiled
show that $4,000 persons travelled
from hundreds of points in the east,
north and south to cities on the west
ern edge of the continent while the
special rates offered by the various
lines were in force This figure, 1t
is declared, exceeds by fully $1,000
the total of last spring, when colonist
rates were offered throughout a Pc
riod of 40 days.
The travel this year was distributed
as follows:
southern Pacific, via Ogden, TO-
800; via Ell Paso, 9929; via Los An
geles, S6S; via Portland. 1861.
Oregon-Washington Railroad &
Navigation company, 1900.
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, 20,-
600.
Northwest route, via Hill lines( es-
timatedl $4,000.
Via other lines (estimated), 10000.
1t is estimated that fully $4,000 of
all those who travelled on colonist
tickets this spring went to California
and extreme western states other than
those classified in the Pacific North
west group. The Santa Fe carried
practically all of its colonist travellers
to California, and the bulk of this
class of business over the Hartman
lines went in the same direction.
Data compiled by representatives
Of the Hartman roads for the spring
period of 1910 shows that 29,17O coll
onist passengers were transported
over the Southern Pacific line during
that time and that 10,490 others trav-
'eled over the Oregon Washington
x Navigation company's route.
The total for the Santa Fe road this
year, it is declared, shows an increase
Of fully 10 per cent over the business
lone last spring.
a table prepared by passenger traf-
ftc officials of the Hartman lines in
regard to colonist travel to Califor-
MIA from the spring of 1901 to the
fall of 1910 shows the following fig
