DECISION GIVEN
ON CIVIL RIGHT
Supreme Court Holds Act Of
1875 Prohibiting Discrim-
nation Unconstitutional.
AFFECTS COLORED RACE
Suit Is Carried to the Highest Tribunal
by Mary F. Butts, of
Massachusetts,.

Declaration yesterday by the United
States Supreme Court that the So
called civil right act of 1875" pro-
/, hibiting discrimination in public con-
veyances, hotels, theaters, and certain
other public places against any per-
sons on account of their color is I'M
constitutional in its entirety and
Columbia. may be potential OF new
conditions in the Capital.
officials of the District interviewed
last night stated that until they had
had an opportunity to read the de-
cision and review the case in which
the decision was made-that of Mary
F. Butts, of Massachusetts, against the
Merchants and Miners Transportation
Company-they would not express an
opinion. II seemed to be a consensus,
however. that only the act now de-
clared unconstitutional had been the
authority by which Determinations
because of race or color had been pro-
hibited.
There have been special acts forbid
ding such determinations, but it Is be-
lieved that the civil rights act has been
the basic authority. With the force of
this destroyed. almost any discrimina-
tons. according to one opinion ex-
pressed last night, would be possible.
May Affect Street Cars.
There seemed to be no belief that dis
ordinations would be instituted by the
hotels. theaters, or other places OF
amusement. It is only in the street
cars that the white race and the negro
race intermingle. Each race has its no.
tells and places of amusement. and there
Is no overt desire on the part OF either
to enter the places set apart for the
other.
Mary F. Butts. colored, of Massachu-
sets, purchased a round-trfp ticket which
entitled her TO a first-lass passage over
the Merchants and Miners Transporta-
ton Line between Boston and Norfolk
She afterward filed complaint in the
courts for damages under the Federal
civil rights law. alleging a dozen specific
acts Of discrimination against her that
amounted to invasion OF her civil rights.
She alleged. among other things. that
she was not allowed to eat in the dining
room with the white passengers and was
refused accommodations on the upper
deck with other first-cIass passengers,
but was required TO go below.
The transportation company defended
on the ground that the act under which
she sued was invalid and fled a de-
murrer which the Circuit Court for the
District of Massachusetts sustained.
The case came before the Supreme
Court yesterday on appeal. The decision
was unanimous. In his opinion, Justice
Van Deventer pointed out that the courts
heretofore have construed the act as not
applicable to States OF the Union. but
only 10 such other territory as is with
in the jurisdiction of the United States"
He ruled that the holding of a part Of
the act as invalid had IMPAIRED the
whole statute, the provisions OF which
are interdependent and not separable.
