"There is no law upon our stat ute books which would reach Buch conditions as you set out in your let ter, and If there were it wpuld he Inoperative on account of the fact I that it would he In violation of tho j Federal constitution, which gives to : the American Congress the sole right to regulate commerce between the States. "I would respectfully suggest that you take the matter up with the Uni ted States Senators and Congress men from this State and request them to do that which they should have done long ago-make some en deavor and try to get through some Federal statute similar to our State statute providing for separate ac commodation for tho different races upon Pullman cars and all Inter state trains, or at least ask them to attempt to get a bill passed similar in some respects to what ls common ly known as the Webb act, which ap plies to shipments of liquor, leaving to the respective States the right to regulate the carrying and transpor tation of Inter-State passengers in this particular, as is done as to the regulation of shipments of liquor."
