COmmissi ssiOn.
The railway company was represent
ed by Attorneys Llttlepage and Tolli-

A former Senator Of Maryland ap-
peared as a witness for the railway
and testified that there was a public
sentiment in Maryland in favor of the
segregation of white and ColOred pas
sengers. He also testified that Mary

railway and testified that there was
public sentiment in Maryland IN fav-
or Of the segregation of white and
COlored passengers. He also testified
that the Maryland jim-crOw law was
i'm force when Brooks and Waller
were evicted.
Because Of the far reaching effect
Of the decision and its Importance
from the standpoint of constitutional
law, the case may he carried to the
Federal Supreme Court.
The effect of the decision is this:
The state jim-crow Lass are valid. if
valid at all only in the State enact
ing such law, and in such State only
as applied to transportation entirely
within the confines of such state. If
"A ColOTed passenger buys ticket in
a jim-crow State for transportation

Likewise, if COlored passenger buys
a ticket in another State for trans
portation into or through jim-crow
State he cannot be segregated while
travelling in such jim-crow State.
Moreover. If he buys n ticket in one
jim-crow State for transportation into
or through another jim-crOw State, he
cannot be segf, gated under any State
iim-Crow law.
Another highly important phase of
the decision Is that the fact that the
interstate passenger IL travelling on

THE FAMOUS CO-DISCCVERER OF

SKULL ALMOST CRUSHED by
ROBBER WHO ESCAPES FROM
CROWD.

New York, n. Y, April Matthew
Henson. the companion of Commander
Robert Il. Peary on all of his Attic
trips. and who shares the glory with
the late discovcrer of finding the
North Pole, was beaten unconscious
by a thug with a blackjack last Sat
urday evening at 10 p. m. at l35th
street and Lenox avenue in front of
Public School 80. Blinded by the
blow and bleeding from ears and
mouth, the intrepid explorer who had
braved all dangers of the Attic
nevertheless grappled with the des
perate thug, who sought to rob him
as they struggled. A crowd gathered
but evidently thinking it only a fist
fight they let the now frightened
criminal get up and escape before
the arrival of the police on the OPP
posite corner. Mr.. Henson was car
ried to the Harlem Hospital, where
it was first feared he had a fractured
skull. He later regained conscious
ness, made his identity known and
was taken home to 901 Grant avenue
Bronx. The extent of his injuries
have not yet been completely ascer-
tanned, but he is thought to be slowly
Commissioning. Mr. Henson has been
given a life position in the customs
service.

ALLEGED BURGLAR TURNS OUT
TO BE WHITE MAN.

Craddock, Va, April when the
wish is father to the thoughts in
cident of the following nature Will
very likely occur. 1t happened in
this city recently that a man arrested
on charge of burglary was reported
in the white dailies to be a Negro.
The man arrested however one Mar
shall Askew by name and instead OF
proving to be Negro it was learned
that the alleged criminal is a White
man.
Askew was charged with the rob
berry of a store in Craddock in Jan
uary. No arrest had been made il
the case because there was no officer
to take the suspect irto custody, al
though several witnesses We're de-
clared to have said they saw Askew,
with another man, committing the
robbery.

WHITES LYNCH MAN FOR KILL
ING COIORED WOMAN.

Hattiesburg, Miss, April RE
ports reaching here from Walthall
County concerning the ,lynching of
Arthur Jennings by white men in
revenge for the murder of a Colored
woman are arousiug much comment.
People of this section are unable
to interpret the motives of the lynch
ers if the report is true. Was it be
cause some clandestine relation of
the woman to one of the lynchers?
Was it mere bloodthirstiness on the
part of the lynchers? Or was it be
cause the South is forsaking her old
policy of protecting white womanhood
and has gone to protecting all wo-
manhood? The question will probably
remain unanswered
The jailer is said to have been
overpowered and his Keys taken from
him jennings body was found hang
ing from a tree next morning.

PLEDGES DELEGATION HIS AID
FOR PENNSYLVANIA BILL TO
REMOVE DISCRIMINATION.

Washington, April Negroes are
entitled to equal commercial and po-
litical rights with white people, Sen
ator Penrose declared. He verged
on the point of favoring social equal
ity, but fell short of the fiat asser-
ton. He persisted that all other
privileges should be placed on the
basis of absolute equality.
IL see no reason said Penrose,
why the Colored man or Colored wo-
man should not be able to obtain a
cup of coffee at Childs If they want
to, or for that matter go to the hotels,
cafes, restaurants or other public
places frequented by white persons
"The time has long since passed
when there should be any discrimi-
nation or repression toward our Col
ored citizens. They are entitled to
their rights as citizens under the
Constitution. They are free men I'M
der the Constitution, and l believe
they are entitled to full commercial
and political freedom of action, es-
pecially in regard to puglic accom-
modations and utilities.
81 am glad to be able to use what
influence I possess at Harrisburg
where bill is pending to give equal
rights of the Negro race, to secure
the passage of the measure, which
has been hanging fire too long. 1t
should be passed l am glad to as
sist the men and women of the Col
ored race to remove the inequality
and discrimination to which they are
now subjected"
These sentiments he expressed to
a delegation of Colored men who
came here from Philadelphia to urge
his assistance in obtaining the pass
age of the Pennsylvania measure
introduced by Representative Asbury,
a Negro member of the Legislature.
