THE EXCHANGE TICKET
A PLAN WHICH is CUTTING DEEP
INTO PASSENGER REVENUE.
Disbursements of the Pennsylvania
Relief Department in ApriI-Gen-
eraI Railway News.

The general agent of one of the strong
est lines in this territory says the ex-
change ticket has become the greatest rate
cutter of any plan yet devised to get
around tariff rates. Our own lines" said
he, have to use the exchange ticket more
or less for seIf-protection. The exchange
ticket practically makes a two-cent rate
for the roads accepting it. A traveller can
go to one Of the regular ticket scalpers
and purchase mileage book, and with this
mileage book he can go to an outside tick
ct office and purchase a ticket, the ticket
agent accepting mileage for it. / know
that one of the local scalpers purchased
mileage book and before leaving the ticket
office exchanged mileage for four single trip
tickets to Chicago, the ticket agent de-
taching the payment for the ticket from
the mileage book he had sold at $40 for one
thousand miles. The scalper then takes
the ticket to his office and sells it for
enough to pay him fair margin. This is
not the worst phase of the case. Some lines
at terminal points are selling the one thou
sand-mile tickets at $1S to scalpers; this is
the ruling rate at Cincinnati, and you
would be surprised if you knew what roads
were indulging in this unbusiness-like meth
cd. At such points Indianapolis, Co
lumbus, Cincinnati Chicago, Peoria and
like places / believe were passenger rates
held at tariff and only those entitled to
travel on mileage allowed to use it the pas
senger earnings of the present would be as
satisfactory as at any time in the history
of the roads,

A MORPHINE PAPER
Led to Belief that G. A. Paul Had
Killed Himself.

G. A Paul, twenty-seven years old, was
found dead in his room at PA South East
street yesterday morning. The presence
in the room of a paper marked morphine
led to the conclusion that the young man
had committed suicide, and the statements
of those acquainted with him of his queer
actions recently strengthened the belief.
The coroner's autopsy, however, revealed
the fact that death had resulted from a
cerebral hemorrhage. 1t was discovered
that the brain and spinal cord We're slight
ly diseased.
Joseph Koehler. who occupied room OPP
posite that occupied by Paul, said that
Paul had been acting strangely of late. He
imagined that a woman was trying to get
him in trouble, and that she had employed
female detectives to hunt him down
Paul roomed at the home of j. Is. Hamp-
ton. He was employed at the Indianapolis
elestrotype foundry. He bore an excel
lent reputation. Five sisters and a brother
live in the city.

Freight Rates Not maintained.

The agreement of the freight men entered
into last week for the preservation of rates
is not preserving them to that extent that
is considered desirable by the conservative
members of the association. The lumber
rates from Wisconsin points to the Missis-
sippi river, which were in state of demon
alization when the agreement was formed,
are still in the same condition, and there
seems to be no immediate chance for their
betterment. In various other parts or the
territory rates are demoralized and nobody
seems to be making an effort to re-estapIish
them on the other basis. 1t is likely the
executive officers will hold another meeting
in the near future for the purpose of con-
sidering the advisability of attaching a
penalty clause to their agreement, as they
have about concluded that the agreement
will not be effective unless they have some
thing to hold over the heads of the Offend

Won't join the ASSOCIATION.

1t seems likely that the Western Passen-
ger Association will not secure the
membership it desires to have by
the first 3of June. The executive
committee has labored increasingly
to get the roads into the association, but
despite all its work there are several of the
roads that have not yet become members
and there seems TO be no Immediate pros
pect of their doing So The Canadian Pa
cific has not yet signed the agreement, and
as a consequence neither the Great North
ern nor the Northern Pacific have joined
the association. They have practically as
sured Chairman White, of the executive
committee, that they will join as soon as
the Canadian Pacific becomes a member,
and they have not absolutely refused TO
sign the agreement in case the Canadian
Pacific finally refuses to join. The Wiscon-
sin Central and the Great Northern are
still hanging out and they have given no
indication of their intention. The general
passenger agents of both of these roads
had a session with the executive committee
last week, and promised to make their in
tentions known after a consultation with
their superior officers They have made no
declaration yet 1t is generally believed
by the members of the executive committee
that the Southern Pacific will in short
time become member.
