she has written for Longfellow's

songs, poems and pageants have
been effective In the teaching of

many parts of the United States.
Mrs. Graham's research work
incident to her historical stories
has been accomplished chiefly in
the National Archives, the Library
|of Congress and in the Washing
toniana room OF the Public Library.
Here she has met such well-known
writer's OF children's books as Cath
crime Cate Coblentz, Ellis Creole
and Elcise Lounsberry who have
been generous in their cooperation
and suggestions. In her tricks to
historic shrines and other places OF
interest in and about this city, she
also lists among her friendly COL

diligent and vigilant In their desire
to see that her quests are successful.

Among the treasures which have
accompanied her to Washington IS
Mrs. Graham's valuable collection

80 Much to See in Washington"
is the title of the second volume
Both have been written SO that they
may be used As supplementary
school readers. Their publication
came about through their authors
discovery in the Library Of Congress
that there were no specific books on
either Of these subjects. While they
are written in an informal enter
tanning style, the author has been
careful to keep close to historical
facts. There Is also an appendix to
each volume. where further reference
material may be consulted. A file
case In her apartment at 17l7 G
street is bulging with notes pertain
ing to the exhaustive research work
she did on both Of these books.
With a successful career behind
her in the writing of children's
poems, plays, music, songs and pag-
eants for juvenile magazines and
musical publications, this Is her first
venture into the field Of historical
stories.
II probably shouldn't have at
tempted it." she says, except for
the fact that I suddenly found my
self with leisure such as I had never

came to Washington. Then, too.
there was my recollection Of the
great numbers Of school children
whom I had seen starting out for
Washington in prewar days on edu-
cational trips to our Nations Capt.

1t isn't the Interstate Commerce
Commissions faults the dictate
OF Congress-but the commission had
to use about $4,000 pounds Of good
paper to print q 44l-page document
that 1t really doesn't expect anybody
to read In full.
The 1CC was required to print and
mail out to 1900 persons this par
ticular document concerning . plan
for reorganization OF the New York
New Haven ds Hartford Railroad Co.
by q provision OF the Bankruptcy
Act.
Subsection "E' of section II Of
that act stipulates that, after
court has approved a plan for re-
organization Of a railroad in bank
ruptcy:
'The plan shall then be sub
mitted by the commission to the
creditors OF each class whose claims
have been filed and allowed in ac-
cbrdance with subsection &c" here
Of, and to the stockholders OF each
class. and /or to the committees Of
other representatives thereof, for
acceptance or rejection within such
time as the commission shall speci-
fy, together with the report or re-
ports Of the commission thereon or
such sunmarization thereof as the
commission may approve, and the
opinion and the order Of the judge"
Doubt 1t Will Be Read.
So the 44l-page document is made
up of the text of the reorganization
plan approved by the ICC and the
court, parts Of six reports on 1t by
the commission, three court opin-
ions, and the court order approving
the plan.
Although admitting that as
practical matter they would be sur
prised II any of the 1900 recipients
Of the document read 1t from cover
to cover, the commission ofiicials
concerned said some Of them un-
doubtedly would read those parts
directly concerning their interests
before casting their ballot for or
against acceptance Of the reorgani-
cation plan.
They also surmised that stock
holders and creditors receiving the
publication and seeing how much
work the commission and court had
put in on 1t would tend to believe
that their interests must be taken
care Of, and so feel better about
the whole thing even II they didn't

and constitutional, these oflcials ex-
planned. Congress wanted to make
sure In drafting the Bankruptcy
Act that no one could complain
about not having al the facts be-
fore casting . vote affecting his
property interests.
A similar publication about another
railroad organization recently had
to be sent to $1,000 persons.

The opening gun in the battle
against segregated travel was fired
this week by the Committee for
the Abolition Of Jim Crow, when
the firm OF Simmons and Bibbs
filed suit against the Tri-State Bus
company for violation OF the Mis-
sissippi Separate Coach Law.
Allen Bibbs. attorney, told the
Chronicle this week that the suit
had been entered in behalf of Ezra
ellis, 1915 w. Hancock, in the East
ern Division District Court Of Illi-
nols. I'VE entered the suit there"
Bibbs said. because we were able
TO get jurisdiction over the bus
company there"
While travelling in Mississippi
from Bude to Brookham, ellis was
ordered by bus driver of the Tri
State lines TO leave his seat in the
rear OF the bus and stand so that
white passengers could sit down.
According to Bibbs, this is a fragrant
violation OF the Mississippi Code
which requires that there shall be
equal accommodations for Negroes
and whites and that Negroes shall
fill the bus from the rear and whites
from the front. by asking my
client TO stand" Bibbs said. 'the
driver placed white passenger in
the colored section OF the bus. and
removed ellis from the place pro-
vided for him by the law"
The complainant is asking $4,000
ectual damages and $4,000 punitive
damages. The complainant is charg-
ing further that standing on the bus
aggravated an old injury.
