now Dead Eeats Abuse the Courtesy OF
Free transportation.
The extent in which railroad companies
are imposed upon by pass dead beats IS
surprising to an outsider, says the Denver
News. The officials accept the situation as
Il IS, recognizing that they are bound TO be
cheated out Of their revenue TO some eX-
tent; but when arailroad man or some other
person who is entitled by reason OF his posi-
ton to pass privileges, after having OBJ
taincd pass, sells it to a scalper, it is pro-
voking. But there is no law to reach this
class of cheats, and they continue TO thrive
IL spite of the strictest supervision it is pos
sible for the railroad companies to exercise
over the pass department.
Within the past few weeks the Denver
and Rio Graude has had several interesting
cases turn up. A man by the name OF j,
w. Van AlStvne, who was agent at Malta,
obtained pass through General Manager
Smiths Office from Denver to Chicago and
return. representing that his father was in
Chicago sick. The man had obtained q posi-
ton in Michigan and when he got to Chi
CagO sold the return portion to a scalper. In
order to insure the purchase against detec-
ton, he left several OF his private letters
with the scalper.
Another case was that of Chicago, Bur
lngton and Quincy man by the name of a.
ii. Fulton. who got pass from point in
Iowa TO Denver and rctIrn through his
road. and after reaching Denver obtained Il
position on the Denver and Rio Grande at
Red Cliff and sold the return portion of his
pass. The officials learned of the transac-
ton and he was promptly discharged.

eral Manager Smith 5 Office, while speaking
of the above case said: Such tricks as
these 60 an injury TO every legitimate
