MORGAN AND MALLORY LINES MAY
HAVE TROUBLE.
In the Range of Possibility the Anti
Trust Law May lie Invoked
Against Them.

Galveston. Texas, August 21.-Judge
George II. Mann says he knows nothing of
an action being brought in the Federal
court against the Mallory and Morgan line
for violation OF the Sherman antitrust
law in trying to drive the Lone Star line
out of business. He acknowledges that he
has openly declared his belief that such an
action would hold. but he says he has no
knowledge that such a movement has been
taken or is in contemplation.
The United States authorities would be
the ones to take the initiative said he to-
night to TIE Post correspondent. "and
have no information of their intentions"
Daniel Ripley, agent Of the Lone Star
line, said he had not heard OF such action
being taken.
1t was understood here that Chairman
Reagan Of the commission had prepared
and sent to Judge Mann statement bear
ing on the matter so that steps might be
taken to get the matter properly before the
Federal courts. The commission is under
stood to be very much inclined toward the
belief that the matter should be pressed
under the antitrust law. but does not de-
sire to take the initiative in the matter

has been to san Francisco visiting the gem
eral headuuarteIs of the company and in
cidentally spending a vacation at the re-
sorts ON the Pacific coast
To reporter for The Post Mr.. kock
said that the oyster trade from Morgan
CITY and Houma. La. now amounted to
three carloads daily. the freight is
shipped to all the principal points in the
West and Northwest from this place and
marks the growth of an industry which
Mr.. Kook fathered fifteen years ago.
He was then local cashier at Morgan
City. La. for the old Morgan railroad.
Berwick BAY was not known in the oyster
business. all the shipments coming from
the Atlantic coast Mr., Kock knew the
value of the oyster beds in the lay aud
after considerable work with the p2opie
there number consented to see wat they
could do with it. The business paid from
the start and grew until all The 'restern
country took oysters from Morgan City
instead Of going to the East. Shortly after
this Mr.. kock was made express aLtbt at
Morgan City and the company finding their
orders for oysters increased aAolt Ten T, Id
they delegated Mr. kock to go to liouma,
situated on branch of the Southern "a
cific south of Shriever. La. to develop tie
oyster business and get the people there
interested. The coast country tributary to
Houma assisted largely in supplying the
market and II has gradually grown. until
1t is by far the main freight from chat
territory. When this was accomplished
Mr.. kock was given the Hauma ST ilon,
also elevated to the general agency CT the
COMPANY in Louisiana.
Speaking OF the recent creiar pub
lshed by the Wells. Fargo & Coz FIX

JUDGE cLAnKE's DECISION.
His Conclusions In the Nashville
Ticket ScnIper CnscN.

His Conclusions In the Nashville
Ticket ScnIpcr Cases.
Judge Clarke, In issuing permanent In
junction against the Nashville ticket scalp
ers, says the courts have held that con-
tract such as that connected with the
original purchase Of this cheap rate ticket
is valid, and that to transfer such ticket
to another Is a fraud upon the common car
rier. Therefore, the United States court has
jurisdiction, inasmuch as all lines parties
to this cheap ticket are at interest. The
Judge concludes his opinion with the fol-
lowing. which is said to cover the case
thoroughly:
My conclusion is that the plaintiffs are
entitled to an injunction, as prayed for in
these bills, upon the execution In each
case Of bond in the sum Of 800, 900. 1t
may serve to clear up the situation TO
particularly point out that the injunction
now allowed Is operative against the 'e-
PENDANTS only in respect to the centennial
low rate tickets, duly signed by the orig
inal purchaser. In ink, and not in pencil.
and not by initial but within these limits
1t may be well II this injunction is obeyed
without indirection. 1t may further con-
duce to clear understanding to say that
persons who have knowledge OF this In
junction are rendered amendable thereto.
although not parties to this suit, and IL
may be well II this fact is kept in mind
1t Is apparent enough without being re-
peated that the general business OF the
ticket scalpers Is not here in question,
and Is not interrupted or nterfered with
by this injunction. 1t is only the scalpers'
practice Of dealing In the particular cen.
tennial ticket. when duly signed and OK.
