CAUSE PRKSIPKXT T ARKS SOUTH KRX RAILROADS TO TASK. 1t tf Letter Instructing Attorney General to Brinjr Injunction Suits Made Pnolfc. WASHINGTON, April 8. President Roosevelt today made public his letter of April 2 to the Attorney-General, direct ing proceedings by injunction to compel certain railroads of the South to furnish equal accommodations to white and nepro pK!eniterfi. The text of th President' letter ia a follow: "To the Department of Justice: I for ward herewith the report of the Inter state tVmmeree Commission containing ha order of June 27t 1907, and the report of the failure of the railroad company to obey thin order, under date of March 26. IJ, together with a letter of the com mission of April 1, 10ns. It appears that the Nashville, Chattanooga & Louis Hallway Company has not complied with the order of the commission to furnish the same facilities to colored passengers pay I nut rtrst-cla-ss fare that are furnished to white passengers paying first-class fares. From time to time various com plaints have been made to me by colored people to the effect that the accommoda tions furnished to colored persons on cer tain railroads are filthy and inadequate compared to the same accommodations furnished to white passengers paying the same fare. The commission has taken what is unquestionably the right ground; that where separate accommodations are provided for white and colored passengers the accommodations for colored passen gers shall be as good as those furnished to white patftiengers for the same money. "In other words, while there is nothing In the law which frblds separate ac commodations, tlieee accommodations muMt be equal. This principle of equity of accommodation is set out expressly in various state laws. Kor instance, the' code of the State of Alabama provides that there shall, be 'equal but separate accommodations for the wbite and colored race by providing two or more passenger cars for each passenger train or by di viding the passenger cars by partitions.' "The action of the commission has sim ply been to insist that the accommoda tions be equal in convenience and com fort for the same money wherever the separation is made. In this particular case, where the railroad has neglected to comply with the order of the commission, it is Important that compliance with this order be immediately obtained. I sug gest th at you proceed to en force t his order by injunction proceedings unless in vour judgment some other course is pref erable. THEODORB ROOSEVELT."

Speak in Highest Terms or His Abil ity and Devotion to Inter ests of State. WASHINGTON, D. C, April 8. (Spe cial.) Members of the Senate are much interested in Senator Fulton's contest for re-election. To a corre spondent today, several Senators gave the following expressions as to the Senator from Oregon: Vice-President Fairbanks Senator Fulton is a most efficient Senator. He is able, indefatigable and fearless in the performance of his senatorial du ties. .He not only is a good worker In committee where much of the im portant work is fashioned, but is strong and forceful In debate upon the floor of the Senate. I have watched his senatorial work with very great' interest and it gives me pleas ure to testify to his excellent stand ing among his colleagues and to his splendid services. Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, for mer Attorney-General and recognized as the ablest lawyer in the Senate, said Personally I should be weW pleased If the people of Oregon, at the approaching primary election, should vote to return Senator Fulton to the Senate. He is a very valuable member of that body for the country at larga, as well as for his own state. The Senator Is a deep student and a conscientious, tireless worker. Not only does he devote himself to matters of particular interest to his own con stituency, but he makes careful in quiry into questions of national im portance, and takes an able part In the leading debates of the Senate. His discussion of national questions al ways shows that -he has given them study and thought. As one of his colleagues on the Judiciary Commit tee, as well as his associate on the floor, I have had adequate opportunity to Judge of his legal attainments, and it 1b my unreserved opinion that Sen ator Fulton ranks among the . able lawyers in the upper branch of Con gress. Senator Cullom of Illinois Senator Fulton is one of the best men we have in the Senate and ought to be re turned. It would be a shame to de feat him. He is without doubt one of the ablest lawyers in the Senate, and his term of service, combined with his natural attainments, make him a man of great influence. As chairman of the Committee on Claims he is performing a most Important duty, yet one that is anything but pleasant. Nevertheless he is faithful ly performing the service imposed up on him by the Senate. I certainly trust that the people of Oregon will. In their wisdom, return Senator Ful ton, foY he has worked conscientious ly throughout his first term and has most certainly earned re-election. Senator Nelson of Minnesota, re cently promoted to the chairmanship of the Committee on Public Lands, and a man of recognized integrity I desire to say that I have been Inti mately acquainted with Senator Ful ton ever since he became a member of the Senate, having served on two important committees, the Judiciary Committee and the Committee on Pub lic Lands, with him. I have found him to be one of the ablest, most ener getic and efficient members of this body. He always attends ' committee meetings and is always present in the Senate Chamber. Senator Fulton is not only a good lawyer, but he is a first-class debater and I have found his Judgment sound and reliable on all the important public questions that have come before the committees,- of which we have been members, and the Senate. He is one of the most indus trious members of this body and gives careful consideration to eyery impor tant bill that comes up for action in the Senate. In connection with the passage of the railway rate bill, I found him to be one of the most en ergetic supporters of that great meas ure. On great public questions he seems to me to always be on the side of reform and In favor of legislation to promote the best interest of the public. I think the state of Oregon is fortunate in having such an able, en ergetic and efficient Senator. Senator Lodge of Massachsuetts Senator Fulton is an able, vigorous and hard-working Senator. He Is a good legislator, taking an active part in the regular and routine business of the Senate, the importance of which is not appreciated by the public, but which is essential to the conduct of the government, and of great impor tance. He is also a.-stund and able lawyer, and it gave me greatplcasur personally to urge his selection for th committee on Judiciary, which com-, prises the best lawyers in the Senate,' and of which he Is now a member. My personal relations with Senator Fulton have been of the most agreeable na ture and in my association with him on the Committee on Military Affairs i and in the Senate I have not only ' learned to have a strong regard for ! him personally but have acquired a j great respect for his ability ana nis power of work.

Spring styles Han an snoea at Eosenthal's Complaint of Serious .Nature Lodged With Commission Company Would Xot Water Animals. SALEM. Or., April 8. Special.) W. E. Russeil. a new arrival at the town of Sheridan, has complained to the Rail road Commission of negligence on the part of the Southern Pacific' which, if true, makes a bad showing for some one in the employ of that company. He says that he shipped a car of horses, cattle and household goods from Pendleton to Sheridan, and that though the car made fair time from Pendleton to Portland, it took 54 hours for the car to cover the 60 miles from Portland to Sheridan. During this period of over two days he says that the company refused to fur nish water for his stock, though he had provided a barrel in the car for that purpose, and he was compelled to carry all the water the animals had. During the last 2 hours the stock was without any water at all. In addition to these grievances he says that he was compelled to pay S12 more charges than his contract called for. The Commission will take the matter up with the company and find out why so much time was taken in transporting livestock so short a distance. TJ'Ren to Debate on Statement. HOOD RIVER, Or., April 8. (Special.) In order to satisfy the members of Pine Grove Grange arid others here who are interested in the relative merits of Statement No. 1. Hon. W. S. U'Ren, of Oregon City, and Hon. C. D.
