CALDWELL REVERSES MUM
Hartman Of the Transcontinental Assooia-
tiOn Acquits the Burlington.
IND OF THE CASE is NOT YET, HOWEVER
Roads VIII Make an Effort 60 Fix the
Responsibility on the Line which
HEs Bccn Doing business
with Brokers.

Secretary Mum OF the local passenger
association yesterday morning received
word from Chairman Caldwell OF the
Transcontinental Passenger association
to the effect that the decision OF
the local association against the n. g.
NJ. In the case brought by the Union
Pacific had been reversed by him. II Will
be remembered that two tickets were bought
from Omaha TO San Francisco via the Bur-
lington. the Colorado Midland. the Rio
Grandc Western and the Southern Pacific
for SS9, or 81 less than the regular rate
II was not thought that the II. & NJ. had
been dealing with the brokers, but the case
was brought in the hope OF catching the
road that was. The H. & NJ was found
guilty on two counts-hrst OF dealing with
brokers'; second, OF aiding the sale OF tickets
through irregular channels.
The convicted road at once appealed the
case to Chairman Caldwell, sending to him
the affidavits OF its passenger men to show
that II had not dealt with the brokers. The
chairman, after an investigation and due
consideration. has decided that the II, & NJ.
cannot be held for the faults OF connecting
line.
The case is not at an end yet, although
the Il. & NJ. is cleared. II is felt certain
that one OF the roads interested in the sale
OF the tickets from Omaha to San Francisco
paid liberal commission to the broker who
routed the business. The work OF the local
association will now be to find out just who
is the niger in the ood-pile" Suspicion
is strongly directed against the Colo
RADIO Midland. This suspicion is
based on two reasons. In the first
place, that road has been caught
quite frequently of late keeping close COM
Pany with ticket brokers, and In the sec
ond piece. the travelling passenger agent OF
that road was in Omaha just few days
before the sale OF the two tickets via his
line for less than regular rates occurred.
But while the Colorado Midland is gem
orally supposed to be the line guilty of
dealing with brokers 1t is quite another
matter to prove the case to tho satisfaction
of the Transcontnental Passenger associa-
tion. All the aflidavits, original tickets and
documentary evidence in the case will be
submitted to the chairman OF the association
and duplicates will be sent to the general
passenger agents Of the four lines inter
ested. These officials will be requested to
take the matter up with Chairman Caldwell
and ferret out the offending road. II ia
probable that at least three general pas
senger agents will court this investigation
in order to clear their roads from all sus,
picion in the matter
