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."

PRAISE OREGON SENATOR
LEADERS IX SENATE INDORSE
FlXTON"S CAXDIDACY.
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.

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.)
