"Fairer words were never written
and their readers could not possibly
have expected their author to counte-
nance the institution of any new
policy in his own branch of the Gov
eminent, now admittedly based on
racial prejudice, against them; a
policy of caste which no president
would dare even hint for citizens of
any of the many other racial extrae'

The petitioners laid particular stress
upon the order of Secretary MeAdOO
requiring separate eating tables, and
on the segregation in the auditor s
rooms of the Postofiee Department, the
Navy, the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, and elsewhere. Necessity, -

American employees have been work

and using the same lavatories and
toilets for two generations. They have
worked in peace and harmony and the
Government 3 business has been well
executed. Some of the very Afro
American clerks taken from rooms
where Americans of other aneestries
worked, or from seats in juxtaposition
thereto, have worked for twenty-five
and thirty years. They did SO through
two Democratic Administrations.
These Democratic Administrations were
nearer the abolition of slavery of
Africans than yours, Mr.. President.
The same efforts to inaugurate this
segregation in Government service were
made under your illustrious predeees-
sor, the late President Grover Cleve-
land, and were stopped by his order,
as we trust they will be in short by
yourself"
At a mass meeting under the aus
piees of the League on Friday night
which packed the large Nineteenth
Street Baptist Church, the delegation
made a full report.
At this meeting it was urged that
the sending in of signed petitions be

Prominent Colored People Presents q

Washington, D. c., NOvember.-A

Political League, bearing a protest and
petition directed against race segre-
CATION in the government service, Wis
tied the President on Thursday, and
had an audience with him The petit
ton bore about twenty thousand sigma
lures, from thirty-eight states, mostly
ColOred people, about equally divided
between the South and the North.
The delegation was introduced by
Congressman Thatcher of Massaehu'
sets.
The delegation was composed of W.
Monroe Trotter of Boston, Rev. DR..
Byron Gunner of Hillburn, N. Y
President of the League, DR.. William
A. Sinclair of Philadelphia, W.
Maurice Spencer of Delaware, Thomas
Walker of District of Columbia, F. h
NJ. Murray of Virginia, and Mrs. Ida
Wells Barnett of Chicago.
w. Monroe Trotter, editor Of the
Boston Guardian, was spokesman. He
made an extended statement and gave
instances of discrimination which had
been discovered and insisted that these
were calculated to "humiliate and de-
grade our race and bring it into SCOTT
and contempt" and that it was all the
worse since it is being done under au
thority of the National government.
The President was impressed by the
protest and commented on its strength
and stated that it was deserving Of
and should receive, careful eonsidera
ton.
The delegation said that the Presi
dent seemed at first inclined to doubt
if the matters complained Of had any
official sanction. But he was handed
a copy of an order issued by the audi
tor of the Interior Department which
explicitly ordered separation on &C
count of color in lavatories. Othet
orders of similar import which ha'
been issued in other bureaus were EN-
bodied in the matter left with tn
President. He then stated that per
haps he was not well posted on tn
matter. He said that he would 60 int
the matter thoroughly and would en-
deavor to find solution satisfaetor
to all concerned, and gave assurane
that segregation had not been decide
upon as an administration policy.
In their protest the spokesman o
the delegation insisted that it was tn
principle Of the segregation that va
objected to and not the manner i
which it was administered. he quote

given at the John Doe inquiry, that
he had given a check for $500 in May,
