The Maple Leaf Kicking.
Two decisions by boards of arbitra ton
at Chicago were returned yesterday in
cases where the Chicago. st. Paul Il Kan
sas City railroad was the appellant They
were exactly of the same nature, and the
same evidence was submitted in each. In
both cases the Maple Leaf was charged with
the misuse of mileage tickets. In the first
case the decision of the chairman that the
road was guilty of the Offense alleged. was
sustained. the arbitrators refusing to con-
slider certain evidence submitted because
the appellant declined TO furnish il at the
hearing before the chairman. The arbi-
TRAITORS IN this case were j. +. Tucker. A. j.
Smith and ). X. Hooper. In the other case
the board of arbitration. which was COM
posed of j. VI. Hall, A. j. Smith and George
DeHaven, reversed the chsirman's decis-
ion. As the cases were precisely similar
the Maple Leaf will ask that the first one
be reopened by the arbitrators.
