Cannot Stamp the Return Tickets at Min
neapolis.
Minneapolis lines find themselves in a
difficulty in connection with carrying
out the regulations prescribed for
handling republican national convention
tickets. These provided that all tickets
purchased at reduced rates on account of
the convention should be stamped by the
agens in Minneapolis before they became
good for the return trip. This prscaution
was taken to prevent tho market in Mime
npolis being stocked with the return por-
ton Of these tickets and the situation be
thus completely dsmoralized there. The
lines find, however, that IL is a physi-
cal impossibility for them to DO the stamp
ing. They estimate that there were some
where in the neighborhood OF $4,000 people
IN Minneapolis on account of the conven-
tion, and the big majority of those
want to return about the same day. They
therefore agreed among themselves
TO ignore the rule and take the conse-
Quences.
A proposition submitted to the western
lines to make an $18 round-trip rate from
st. Louis to Old Point Comfort on account
Of the Travellers Protective association
convention at Old Point Comfort has been
uegatived, and tho rate will not be made.
Chairman i. G. Donald. of the passen-
ger department. of the Central Traffic asso-
citation, notifies his lines that they are au-
thoriZed to make a one fare rate for the
round trip on account of the National Com
petitivs Drill association enoampment at
Omaha June 1920. Tickets may be sold

only on date of sale, aa STAN pod on back by
selling agent, but not later than for trains

same rate may also be made for the North
western Rowing association regatta at Bow
heess Lake, Mich. July 1916, tickets to
