VIRGINIA JIM-CROW LAW SMASHED VIRGINIA JIM-CROW LAW SMASHED Niagera Movement "Makes Good"—Virginia Judge Orders Jury to Render Verdict Because Miss Barbara Pope was Interstate Passenger—N. M. With Aid of Miss Pope First Made Attorney-General of Virginia Admits State Could Not Punish For Violating Law—Damaging But 1 Cent Interstate Principle Established. From The Boston Gaurdian legislation or from lack of vigil- Washington, D. C., June 6th Through Miss Barbara E. Pope of Washington and the Niagara Movement which backed her in her effort to enforce her rights as an interstate passenger, the colored people have won a distinct victory. The following concerning Miss Pope's civil appeared in the Washington Post and was out by telegraph on the 5th, inst. Southern Press Obscures Real Point. 'Barbara E. Pope, colored who songt to receive $10,000 damages against the Southern Railway company for alleged indignities and humiliation suffered at the hands of employees of the company, was yesterday awarded 1 cent damages by a jury before Justice Wright in Circuit Court No. 1. The woman recently bought a ticket from Washington to Pacoain Springs. During the trial of the case she testified that at Falls Church, Va., she was "violently ejected from the train" because she occupied a seat in the coach provided for white persons. Evidence controverting this fact was offered by the defense. The jury deliberated the case. Judge Ordered Verdict Because Virginia Jim-Crow Could not Apply to Interstate Passengers While that is a statement of the facts as far as it goes there is in the article a manifested attempt to obscure the real point gained by the race and its far-reaching importance. The instructions of the court as to the force and bearing of the Virginia seperate car law was that IT COULD NOT BE HELD TO APPLY TO INTERSTATE PASSENGERS and that a verdict in Miss Pope'e favor MUST ISSUE. The amount of damages she sustained was of course left for the jury to determine, but the principle fought for was distinctly established by the judge's charge. The jury before whom the case was tried was the same one as in the Hart suit for damages. While the legal defense committee of the Niagara Movement of which Fred L. McGhu, Esq. of St. Paul, Minn. is chairman, directed the movements in the case; the expense attached to having at the trials either him or Attorney Clement G. Morgan Boston, who was more particularly in charge of this last case was more than the Niagara Movement felt able to bear. Hence the case was argued by Mr. Chas I. Simms, a local white attorney residing in Virginia and a member of the Virginia bar as the law requires who has been associated with the case from the start. While the race has won up to this point, it may become necessary to follow the case on higher which will mean greatly added expense. The result achieved which, thank God, should stimulate our people to assist in clinch the great victory and encourage them to institute other movement legal and political, to regain such fights and privileges as they have lost whether from hostile legislation or from lack of vigilance or by surrender. Eternal vigilance—backed determination and money—is the price of Liberty and equal rights. Washington. June 4—The interstate commerce commission has found a trouble-maker that threatens to rival Harriman. It is Georgia Edwards a Negro, of Nashville, Tenn. She brought the "Jim-Crow" test case on which arguments are to be heard by commissioners this week. On their decision may depend the future maintenance of the system of seperate railroad accommodation for white and Negro passengers in the southern states. Golored Woman Foreed Into Jim Crow Car,Though Protesting as Interstate Passengers Georgia Edwards has been in the habit of visiting relatives at Dalton, Ga, once a year. Last time she went over the Western & Atlantic, operated by the Nash ville, Chattanooga & St. Louis railroad company. She bought a first class ticket, and entered a car for white people. When ordered to the "Jim Crow" car Georgia astonished the conductor by proudly asserting she was an interstate passenger. She was then put into the "jim crow" car bv force. Complaint to Commission That Car Was Filthy and Not as Good as the Whites Had. In her complaint to the interstate commerce commission, Georgia says that although she bought a first class ticket, she was not given first class accommodation, the car in which she was required to get being dirty and filled with smoke. In it men were drinking and cussing. Declares Discrimination Exists On this account she contended that Negroes are treated with inequality in violation of the interstate commerce act, and that they are thus subjected to unjust discrimination and undue or unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage as compared with the treatment accorded white passengers. Railroads Admits Segregation and Claims it Necessary Regulation of "Avoid Trouble and Confusion The railroads set forth that Georgia suffered no injustice, at least not on account of her color It was admitted that for the purposes of government of passengers services, for the avoidance of trouble and confusion.

Burns, Lincoln Miss Holmes, Smithton Mrs Marie Hogan White. of Sedalia Mrs Susie Johnson, Sedalia The teachers are being greatly inspired by the most excellent lectures given them by their instructors and much benefit is being derived from them. On Tuesday morning the body of teachers and instructors were addressed by Prof. Lucketts, County Supt. of Public schools of Pettus county Prof Gass, principal of Broadway school and Lawyer H. G. Phillips. These lectures all of which touched upon the Race Problem and education, were responded to by Prof H. L. Billups Ph. B. LL. B. in one of the most masterly replies ever uttered from the lips of a Negro, showing the educational Industrial and commercial progress of the Negro and also showic by num erous illustrations and examples what we could do with a free man's chance, in a free man's country. Dr. J. M. Harris who lectured to the teachers last week on Physcology and whose discourse brought much valuable information to all, lectured again Wednesday, touching upon the nervous system by saying, "It is one of the most intricate and delicate parts of the body and which we know least," after a long a lenght talk, teachers were permitted to ask questions. Thursday session of the Institute was a grand one. Along with the regular program devotionals were conducted by Rev. Ball, and also Mrs. Sullivan a lady who has traveled extensively and who, although old in age is a venerable lady and very active in school work and churchwork. Friday June 14th closed the Institute which had been in session two weeks. The Institute which was so successfully and conducted by Prof Hubbard Prot. Billups and Houston is a credit to any race. These men intellectual lights and a gift of God to a nation of people who are strirring for freedom. America is free, the press is free, religion is free but the Negro on account of the cursedness of slavery is, intellectual power a slave. God speed and hasten the day when millions of Negro boys and girls can say "I am an American" and can on the account of his intellectual attainment enjoy the privileges and advantages that the other race enjoys. Such men as three mentioned above and the teachers who have this institute are the ones who are solving the problem. For the school room is (Continued on Second Page) NO. Grand Court of O. O.

Prof W. G. Smith visited the Institute Fridav and played an instrumental solo and gave a talk along his profession. Thursday night June 13th. In connection with the 4th Anniversary of The Sedalia Weekly Conservator, the teachers were given a banquet. a program was rendered, among the numbers rendered was a lecture, by Prof H. L. Billips entitled 'Negro Journalism' which was discussed for 30 minutes with much sincerety and earnestness. Ruby Martin, Committee The Associated Press of this country takes much pride and pleasure in flashing across the country any and all crimes that the colored race are accused of committing. Guilty or innocent it is all the same, and the statement once made rarely, if ever, is contradicted, even if found to be false. But there is a way to disprove it. A gentlemen is respected, no matter where he goes. LIQTIDATED ALL DEBTS The white man claims that colored race is ignorant and impudent, and that he does not appreciate what is done for him. Now, to some extent, this may be true, but it must be remembered that the colored people are not all alike, and the white man, if he knows anything about them knows that there are appreciative colored people in this country who knows their friends. Collection for the day, $101.50 The church is now free of debt. L. Woolrich, P. C. Janie Martin, reporter. The sensible white man appreciative an industrial person no matter what their color may be. The colored man may be the same in every state to some extent. The southern contingents are leaving the farms and rushing into cities. Mhis is wrong. The ministr is not doing its duty in the pulpit of the race. Mne colored man must cease begging and going from door to door with hat in hand; he must disprove the charge that he is a criminal by instinct and a vagabond by nature. In this city it is gratifying to see the business enterprises that have been started by the colored people, and the Jim Crow laws enacted in the South by the prejudiced white man has brought the colored together as nothing else could have done. They no longer depend ugon drug stores that discriminate against them; banks that have their separation windows for their depositors; they have their own restaurants, doctors lawyers and theatres. The colored people will not have tolerate when we can do for ourselves, and will not have to be asking the white man to do for us. We shall the disprove the charges continually made against us. --- Yours Faithfully, Teachers' Institute Notes continues from First Page James E. White How To Disprove It.

SOM BO, 4 BORD Dis eceee ceeeeee OO Dm . . % SR | a GREAT MASS MEETING CALLED CALL FOR A SOLEMN CONCLAVE To the Citizens of the State of Missouri: On February 13th, 1907, fifty delegates, representing ten counties and larger cities in the State, assembled in the State House in Jefferson City to enter their protest against the seperate car law, which had already passed the State Senate, and to appeal to the reason, liberality and good judgement of the railroad committee and other members o the House of Representatives who were present, to keep the proposed bill from becoming a law. We are thankful to say that the better judgement of that body prevailed and we have been spared the humiliation to which our people are subjected in many States. The success which attended our efforts upon this occasion indicates clearly that with organization throughout the State and discreet management we can do much towards creating a healthy public opinion in regards to all matters bearing upon the interests of our race. The Negro is under criticism; he needs defense; his civil and political rights are in jeopardy he needs protection. For these reasons the delegation adopted a resolution while assembled in the A.M.E. Church, Jefferson City, Mo., February 13th, 1907, instructing the president and secretary of that gathering to invite a solemn convocation of the people of Missouri through their representatives, for the purpose of considering the advisability of a permanent organization. The meeting is hereby called to convene in St. Louis. Mo. op ening in Central Baptist Church July 10th. at 9 a. m. and closing in St. Paul A. M. E. Church, July 11th. All religious denominations educational institutions, charitable associations, secret societies, and any other organizations in the State not included in this number are requested to send at least one delegate from each city, community and precinct to be present at said convention at the time herein designated.
