VICTORY FOR MARYLAND.
No Jim Crow Car Station.

Baltimore, Md, Feb. I5.-The Jim
Crow" accommodations that the Ba.-
timore and Ohio Railroad placed sew
eral weeks ago in Camden Station,
this city, were ordered removed by
President Daniel Willard, last Satur-
day, after he had made a personal in
spection of the Jim Crow arrange
mentS.
The Afro-Americau Ledger, the
leading race journal in Maryland,
waged a vigorous fight against the
placing of separate and retiring rooms
for patrons of the station, and the
officials OF the company had been
deIuged with protests from all over
the State. President Willard was out
of the city when the discrimination
was started, and it is the general be-
lief that he did not authorize or sane
ton any Jim Crow" arrangements.
