Explaining About Passes.

WASHINGTON, May Sin response TO a
summons of the interstate commerce COM
mission, representatives of a number of
eastern roads appeared before the commits
sion to-day and explained their methods of
giving out passes and to whom they were
given.
Representatives of most of the roads sub
mitted lists of passes gwen by their roads
with accompanying Information, and in
some cases the reasons for granting the
passes. The Maine Central railroad repre-
sentative presented an argument taking
exceptions 10 the jurisdiction of the com
mission in calling for specific classes of
passes. The representative of the New
York Central railroad presented an argu-
ment setting forth that his company does
business alone in the state of New York;
has issued many passes To persons
in that state; has not issued any for the
purpose OF SECURING business and submits
that the commission may not require any
further answer. The counsel for the
Pennsy lvanIa railway explained the lists
of passes and presented circulars of the
company regulating the Issuance of passes
in conformity with their understanding of
the interstate act. Technical points were
raised by several of the gentlemen repre-
sentlng roads regarding the jurisdiction of
the commission, etc. The commission will
at some future time hear arguments from
them.
