THE COMMISSION SYSTEM CONDEMNED.
VIEWS OF JUDGE cooLEY-A GENERAL cLAssI-
FICATION LOOKED FOR-AGAINST POOLS.

FICATION LOOKED FOR-AGAlNST POOLS.
Pittsburg Jan. 3 (speciaD.-Judge Cooley, chairman
of the Interstate Commerce Commission passed through
the city this morning, from Toledo TO Washington.
While at Toledo Judge Cooley had conference with
a number Of the leading railroad managers In regard
to paying Of commissions tickets.
This commission business he said, is one Of the
greatest problems that the Commission has to con-
slider At present the selling Of tickets Is practically
in the hands OF scalpers The scalpers are doing
great business and VIC want TO stop It, There should
be no commission whatever paid on tickets 1t is
bad policy for roads to be parties TO IT, When
commissions are paid, there IS no limit to what
they may be- Rival roads will keep cutting and
cutting under each other in an effort to gam In
creased business. The paying of commissions should
be prohibited By law. The tickets should De ohercd
for sale at the ticket offices Of the different roads
and place else7
Regarding the proposed amendment to the Interstate
law 10 have one general classification nom ocean
to ocean, Judge Cooley said The roads arc moving
with considerable rapidy In regard to classihcaon'
They see that 1t Is for the interest of all that the
same system OF classification should be enforced on
the different lines. So long as they show dis-
position to try to agree upon classihcatons, Con
ercss is not likely to make 1t compulsory, but eventu-
ally may do so. 1t is important measure OF
reform, but l think that 1t should be approached
gradually and that mischief would result IL there
were sudden legislation In regard to IT. -
About the proposed amendment TO permit poVnns
by the trmk lines, Judge Cooley said 90 n0t tiih
that pooling proper should be permitted Poollne'
from It's very nature, long as railroads are ac

TWO PLANS DISCUSSED IN MENDHAM, n. j.
A SURVEY THAT CAME TO NOTHING.

Mendham, n. j.. Jan. 3.-The mild winter assists
the railway excitement in this part of New-Jersey.
and the simple, honest country folk are at almost
fever heat because UI the disappointment they feel
at what they think has been trick played upon them
by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad.
II is only thirty miles from here to NewYorh, but
in time consumed the distance is practically great
as between New York and Philadelphia Last spring
and summer the engineers of the Morris and Essex
were hard al work surveying line between here
and Mofrist0wn. A company organized with
A. Reasoncr, general superintendent Of the Morris
and Essex branch of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad, president. and a Of the
location fled at Trenton. Here the matter seems
to rest, and the people kept stirred up
for year or more in obtaining
rights Of way and performing other services in the in
tercst of the proposed road, there is much loud in
dgnaton when they realize that the action of Sam
sloan and his colleagues merely piece of
strategy discourage else from building here
tapping the Morrstown district with better and
quicker route than that afforded by the Morris and
Essex. Though the tactics of the Morris and Essex
may delay the building Of road through here for
little while. 1t cannot be delayed long.
There are perfectly feasible projects now under
way, and either Of them would satisfy this neigh
borhood and would bring Morrisown nearly half an
hour nearer New-York One of these projects is TO
extend the line built by Congressman PIdcock from
White House Station, the Jersey Central Railroad
to New-Germantown and Pottersville, through Pea
pack Mendham. Morrisown, Whppany and Caldwell
to a point on the Greenwood Lake Railroad near Mont
clair This would give railroad facilities to one Of the
best portions Of the state and reduce the time between
Morlisown and New-York by at least one-quarter.
The other project IS agitated by the people about
Whippany. Yesterday there conference be-
tween Whppany committee and one from Mendham,
and the latter assured the Whippany gentlemen that
they would have the hearty co-operauon and sub
sfantial assistance of the people of Mendham. This
project contcmplates line from Montcair through
caldwell Whippany. MOrristoWn and Mendham TO
Chester where a connection would be made with the
system Of the Jersey Central Roth Of these projects
are practicable and either II carried out, would
