ARGUES CASE IN
SUPREME :! COURT
Attorney william Harrison Is
Against Separate Car Law. /,
BIG EVENT N WASHINGTON.

o,.tinouishsd Lawyer and Consistent
Aoitator For the Full constitutional
+ RIGHTS Of coIorsd Americans Cues
tions Legality Of Oklahoma Separate
Car Law Before Highest Tribunal.
Washington.-The jimcrow car case
brought up from the United states CIR
cult court of Oklahoma was recently
argued in the United States supreme
court by Attorney William Harrison OF
Oklahoma City, Okla. The purpose OF
Lawyer Harrison in bringing the mat
ter before the highest court Is to test
the constitutionality of the separate
car law for interstate passengers. The
case was filed in the federal court by
Lawyer Harrison Feb. 10. 1905
The case is unique in that 1t involves
the rights of the colored people
throughout the country. 1t is one
which few lawyers have been willing
TO handle and has been from Its begin
ming handled exclusively by lawyers OF
our race.
In the argument Attorney HARRISON
sought to interpret the mind OF con
eress as evidenced by the enabling act
approved by congress June lG, 1906
and insisted that unless the Legislature
of the state of Oklahoma could violate
every provision of the enabling act
which the people of Oklahoma had &C
cepted and adopted irrevocably as a
condition precedent to admission into
the sisterhood of states. it dhe leglsla
ture of Oklahoma, could not enact n
law making distinction when 1t comes
to the Negro race based upon color, the

same being forbidden by the language
of the act itself This argument was
clinched when Mr.. Harrison pointed
out that separate schools were pro
vided for in the enabling act and no
other distinction or separation.
Arguing that the act Of the Okla
homa legislature seeks to and does
regulate interstate transportation. the
lawyer said the act must stand or fall
as a whole, not being separabe, and
being clear, positive and unambiguous,
could not be construed away aud had
to be taken as expressing the mind OF
the legislature He exploded the theory
Of police regulation and showed that,
SO far as the health. safety, comfort.
etc, Of the citizens were concerned.
the police regulation argument set
out by defendants was mere sub
terfuge, and in this connection 1t was
forcibly argued that the Mexican. the
Italian, the Indian. the Turk. the
Greek and every other race on the
face Of the earth had been legislated
into white men and educated, cultured
and refined citizens by the act of the
legislature complained of.
Lawyer Harrison reached his climax
by invoking the Interpretation and con
struction Of tue federal constitution
and specifically the fourteenth amend
ment as applied to the act of the lcgis
latnre Of Oklahoma complained Of
Perhaps the most finely drawn differ
entiatiOn was shown by the able jurist
when 1t came to comparing the case at
bar with other cases adjudicated. He
clearly showed that his case was diff.
ferent and new in the following par
ticuars-to wit: The supreme court OF
the state of Oklahoma had not con
strued the law as had been done in
cases coming up from Louisiana. Mis-.
sissippi, Kentucky, etc. The case at
bar had evaded and avoided the state
courts, knowing what its fate would
be once in the said courts. and finally
that the word obstruction" did not

in the enabling act OF Oklahoma.
