1 in this state to furnish equal accommoda-
 tions, in separate cars or compartments of
 cars. for white and colored passengers;
 but this law expressly provides that it
 shall not apply to sleeping cars.' | Here Judge Hines makes the above quoted comment upon a law which per mts, under cover of darkness, as it were, what is prohibited by daylight, and con- 1 tlnues: By another statute, sleeping car com l panies and railroad companies operating sleeping cars in this state have the right to assign all passengers to seats and berths, and can separate the white and eolored races in making said assignments.
 and the conductor and other employees on the train to which said sleeping cars may be attached, shall not permit white and colored passengers to occupy the same compartment. This statute further pro vides that nothing therein contained shall be construed to compel sleeping car com
 panies to carry colored persons In sleep ing or parlor cars. Conductors have police powers to enforce the provisions of this
 act. (Civil code, sections 2724. 2725). "As the statutes of this state expressly declare that the races cannot be segre- gated in sleeping cars, but they can only be assigned to separate berths or com partments. I do not think that the com- mission mas the power ana authority Q to
 make dule or regulation separating the races in sleeping cars.
 "It is competent for the legislature of this state to pass law requiring the separation of the two races in public coll veyances in intrastate journeys: and such a law is not unconstitutional
 "The legislature would hardly have au- thority to pass a statute regula ting this subject in reference to interstate jour neys.
 "The segregation of white and colored passengers on interstate journeys is a reasonable regulation of interstate trarc, and carriers can make and enforce such regulation under the act to regulate com merce.
 "The railroads of the south. if they see ft could put into effect and force this regulation without legislation, and the commission might call their attention to the complaint filed by MT. Wal<er" Judge Hines opinion will prove an in teresting one: it contains information not generally known. The impression has been gained probably from the law requiring separate day coaches for whites and ne governed sleeping cars
 l The legislature, if it should deal with. t at alL could only make afregulation gov Forming journeys wholly within the state. And since it is not likely that congress will pass an act separating the races in sleeping carrying interstate travel.
 it is a question as Judge Hines says. that
 is up to the railroad companies.

GEORGIANS COMPLAIN OF
 NEGROES RIDING IN SLIPPERS

Atlanta, February 27.-(Special)-'Tt seems that the legislature has taken ac- ton prohibiting white and colored pas sengers from riding together in the same cars.s but permitting white and colored passengers to sleep together in the same cars. This has always struck me as ano- malous.''
 So wrote Judge James K. Hines special attorney for the railroad commission, in an opinion recently rendered that body upon a complaint by John D. Walker, the we'll known banker of Sparta.
 It is not unlikely that Walkers com plaint and the commissions investigation of it may lead to some more legislation this summer upon the jim crow line.
 When Walker got on train in Atlanta few nights ago, bound for New York, he found difficulty in getting berth. All he could get was an upper, while there were three negroes who got on the tratn in Atlanta who were supplied With lowers. Also there were some other white pas sengers who were unable to get lowers berths.
 Walker was indignant, as were the other white passengers who failed to get berths. He did not wait to write; he tele eraphed the railroad commission about it. He wanted to know If some action could not be taken to 'stop such social equality privileges and objectionable practices
 Members of the railroad commission puzzled over the matter and began to hunt up the law. They knew it was un- lawful in Georgia for tine railroads to transport white and negro passengers m the same day coaches. But how about sleeping cars? Surely ifethe two races were not allowed to}sit up together in a railroad coach, it could not be lawful for them to sleep in the same car. Finally the matter was turned over to Jucge Hines with the request for an opinion.
 Did the commission have any authority in the matter? Gould it deal with Walk CTS case? Judge Hines was asked to find out. He did.
 Tn my opinion." wrote Judge Hines to tire commission in reply, "the commission has no power and authority to remedy this situation. Walker will have to ap- peal to the legislature and congress. TT he- lesisisature of Geosssia.h .has Eassed a law requiring the railroads doing business
