Worrying the scalpers Again.

George Boyd, assistant general passenger
agent of the Pennsylvania lines east of Pitts
burg. whom the ticket sealpe1s look upon as
being their most successful and untiring oppo
nent, has his war-paint on again. Through his
efforts at Philadelphia the scalpers have been com
pletely routed but in Baltimore there are four
scalpers: in Washington. six; in New York
seven, which are troubling the Pennsylvania
people. Mr.. Boyd tells a reporter of the Phila-

interview, gives the manner the scalpers profit

taken to discover dishonest conductors. One
case was that of a Pullman palace-car conductor
on the route between New York and Washington.

The New York Central people it is said, are
quite indignant that the last reduction in east
bound rates was ordered by Commissioner Fink.
and it is now feared that the war of rates may
extend to the westbou business. On this
traffic there has been much cutting, but since
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad
entered the trunk-line pool west bound rates out
of New York have been reasonably stable. Out
of New England the tariff has been largely dis
regarded in spite of the agreement made some
time ago to pool the Boston west-bound business.
With the Pennsylvania, however, insisting Wig
orously on pulling east-bound rates down to the
level of the actual figures, it is feared that SINH
lar action may be demanded on the west-bound
business by the roads which are dissatisfied with
their share of the tonnage now moving

could only procure the tickets in one way-by
appropriatng them after they had been collected
from passengers. After he had been seen to en-
ter a ticket scapers office the company placed
secret service men on his train, and they watched
him for over two weeks. Finally, one of his
trips in November of last year, five detectives had
beTtns in his car. They Travelled from Jersey
City to Washington on tickets purchased from
the companys agent IN New York. Out of the

ington four of the detectives changed
their DISCUSSES, purchased return tickets
and returned to New York on the same
train On this occasion two Of the four
tickets were stolen by the conductor.
This evidence was deemed sufficient to warrant
his arrest, and on being tried in court he was
convicted and sentenced to an imprisonment of
six months Mr.. Boyd adds that their own con
ductors are selected because of their peculiar
fitness for the position, and are men of more
of good business qualifications Among the
many hundreds employed on the main line and
leased roads the proportion of dishonest men has
been found to be very small. He thinks the
percentage of dishonest conductors would be
even smaller than at present IF there were no
brokers to handle the embezzled tickets" He
also thinks that fewer ticket offices would be
broken into BY thieves if they could not find
market for the stolen tickets. There is a law
prohibiting ticket scalping in the State of Penn
sylvania, but none in New York, Delaware,
Maryland or the District of Columbia. Such a
prohibitory bill is now pending before the Mary
land Legislature. and similar bills will, it is
said, be introducedin the other States named. All
that will be asked for is law to prevent traffic in
railroad tickets by others than the regular
agents appointed by the companies

The L, N. A. s c. Carry Their Point.


The judge of the Circuit Court of Lake coun-
ty yesterday placed on record his decision in the
question at issue between the Chicago & Allan
tic and the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago
road the decision being in favor of the L., N.
A. & c., the judge making perpetual
injunction against the former interfering with
the movement of trains of the L., N. A. & c.
road There is good authority for saying that,
regardless of this decision, the l., N. A. & C..
people will at once proceed with the construc-
ton of mile and one-fourth of road, by which
their track will be connected with those
of the Chicago & Western Indi-
ana, making them Independent of all
roads. While on this subject it is proper to say
that the directors of the L., N. A. & c., most of
whom are New York capitalists, are quite de-
termined to place the road and the equipments
in number one condition, and they look upon
their traffic agreement with the c., l., st. L. &
G. as being fully as favorable to the interests of
the L., N. A & G. as to the Big Four.
