A Movement to Prevent Cutting in Pas
senger Rates-The Matter to be Con
sidered at the Meeting of the Southern
Railway and Steamship Association in
New York Tomorrow
For some time there has been a strong
feeling among the passenger agents be-
longing to the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association in favor Of per-
iectinR an arrangement or agreement
by which the passenger business can be
controlled in the same way that the
freight business is managed. 1t is said
that the freight business of the Southern
Railway and Steamship Association
is under better control than the
same department of business in any
association in the United States.
The successful manner in which this
department OF railroad business is con-
trolled by the association, has suggested
that passenger business can be handled
in the same manner if an association of
passenger agents can be organized 10 take
charge Of it. At the last meeting of the
Southern Railway and Steamship Asso-
citation, held in New York, this subject
was pretty generally discussed, and it was
found to have many strong advocates.
The representatives OF the lines who
manifested interest in the matter stated
that they were not only willing to 90 into
an agreement to prevent rate cutting, but
advocated going further and pooling the
passenger business just as the freight
business IS pooled. AT a more recent
meeting a committee was appointed to
take charge of the matter, and get up a
report to be presented to the association at
meeting to be called as soon as the COM
mittee was ready to submit its findings.
1t is understood that the committee has
devoted good deal of time and trouble to
the subject, and has prepared very in
teresting paper. The association has been
called to meet at the Windsor hotel in
New York tomorrow, when the commit
tee will submit its report.

Boston, Oct. ?G-Chief Inspector Hans
com made a mysterious call on one of the

day night. From what can be learned,
it appears he has been working up Il
great case since about oct. 10. One per
son arrested is a young woman, said to
he one of the principals in a conspiracy to
murder anothcr young Lady, wife,
who lives in Baltimore. On October 9,
the woman arrested called on Il certain
person in Boston and offered $1,000 ii he
would find II man to kill the young
lady in question, keeper of dive. He
apparently consented to her proposition,
bat instead informed authorities, and at
subsequent interviews between the
woman and the supposed assassin detec-
tives were present but unseen. The story
the woman gave rs reason for the crime
was that the son of wealthy parents had
secretly married the young but beautiful
Irish girl employed in his fathers fami-
~. The result of the marriage was
a child IL few months old
The mother and father endeavored to per
suade him to desert his wife, but he stood
by her, and ali other eXpedientS failing, 1t
was decided to murder her, The woman
arrested was sent by the father as an
emissary to employ an assassin. 1t is sup
posed there were other reasons for
. the crime but documentary evidence in
the hands of the police seems to confirm
the woman story. Inspectors have gone

is believed startling sensation will be
created when all the facts are learned.
