"Fcw people outside OF railway
circles have any conception OF the
nuisance the demand for free passes
is to railroad officials and to what Az
extent the privilege Is abused when
granted said the Hon. Chauncey NJ.
Depew the other day. "The inter-
state commerce law aimed blow at
the free pass system, but tO q great
extent it has been a feeble and In
effective one
"One great abuse Of the free pass
system lies In the sale Of those precious
pieces of paper by those to whom they
are issued. Say, for example, that "a
man wishes to 60 from New York to
Pittsburg. He will ask for pass to
Chicago, with the privilege OF stop
ing over In PittsburR. II this is
granted to him he can. when he gets
to Fttsburg. sell his pass-good for
the remainder of the trip to Chicago
to some ticket spcculator or 'scalper'
mt a rate which enables the latter to
sell 1t again at a handsome margin Of
profit; or. intending - remain per-
mancntly in Pittsburg, he will ask
for Il pass to that city and return, and
on arriving there will sell the remain
ing PORTION OF said pass, good for the
return trip. OF course, these passes
are not transferable. that fact being
plainly stated in bold type npon both
the back and face of each one, but
what earthly difference does that
make!
"Only yesterday an old, experienced
conductor told me some amusing
anecdotes in connection with this
practice of selling and leaning rail-
road passes. On one occasion an ele-
gantly dressed lady and gentleman.

J. C. Dcwhurst. but the gentleman
had a large gold w. on each Of his
ruff buttons, and the lady had Ahe

From the look of calm assurance ON
their faces he knew it would I've use
less to raise any objection to this
giaring incongruity. for he had no
doubt that they would both have
made affidavit If necessary that w.
stood for Dcwhurst.
AT another time he was handed q
