THE MILEAGE PROBLEM
CHANGE PROPOSED THAT Is MEANT
To CIRCUMVENT sCALPERs.
decentralization of General
Business Improvement.

II the programme of the passenger traffic
managers and general passenger agents of
the lines in the Central Passenger Associa-
ton territory is carried out there will be a
millennium in the passenger service in this
section, as all crooked work is to be stopped
and roads which do not fall into line will
be cut off from interchange of business
with the ratem maintaining lines. The prop
osition is to have all mileage which is sold
good on any road in the association terri
tory. providing that it is used by the real
purchaser, the one thousand-mle as well
as the five thousand mile tickets to be sold
through a bureau and no mileage to be is
sued by an individual road the mileage
book being that issued only by the bureau.
A one-thousand-mile ticket good on any
road will be sold at $40 and when the cover
is returned a rebate of $40 will be given,
this being the plan on which the Western
Passenger Association has operated for sew
eral months with the most satisfactory
suits. The plan does away with the ex-
change tickets and other methods which
have been resorted to of late to cut rates.
The first impression is that there is a good
deal of complexity and red tape in the
system, but when it is tested, as with the
Western Passenger Association it is found
to be very satisfactory to business men and
persons who are disposed to see that the
railroads are treated fairly in transporta-
ton matters. 1t puts a stop to a weak road
issuing an interchangeable mileage book
and then raising funds on it by selling it at
81 or 50 discount by the dozen to ticket
scaplers as it is said some of the Ohio
roads have been doing, since all mileage to
be honored on the association lines must be
sold through the bureau, not any individual
all three
of the roads have consented to join in the
move to bring about a better maintenance
of rates and any road that holds aloof will
have mileage only over its own line to sell,
as the mileage not issued legitimately
through the bureau will not be honored on
the association lines. If the programme is
carried out as proposed the roads that have
been doing crooked work in the use of
mileage will be shorn of their power and
the ticket scalpers will be shut out so far
as the use of mileage or exchange tickets

Mr.. FuIIer,s Hecovery.

So well is Harry Fuller, general passen-
ger agent of the Chesapeake & Ohio lines
known in this section through his long con-
nection with railways as their representa-
tive at Indianapolis that his friends will
be gratifed to learn that he has fully re-
covered from his injuries which at first it
was thought might prove fatal Mr.. Full
ler's distinguishing characteristic was ac-
tivity until the accident three years ago
compelled him to use crutches. This was
particularly hard on him because his gen.
eral makeup was not adapted to slow loco
motion. He stood crutches for nearly
three years, however, and surprised every
one with the amount of work he could do
travelling in that fashion. The 1st of April
an operation was decided upon and he is
now recovering not only from the effects
of the operation, but from the effects of
the accident itself In a few days he will
have the plaster cast off his foot and the
like a new man. Mr.. Fuller entered rail-
road service in 1866 His first appearance
at Indianapolis was as one of the conduc-
tors on the Woodruff sleeping cars. In 1872
he was appointed travelling agent of the
Atlantic & Great Western road, with head
quarters at Cincinnati later he was APP
pointed general Southwestern passenger
agent of the Erie route with headquarters
changed to general Western passenger
agent of the road and his Jurisdiction ex-
tended q much larger territory. Just
after he received the promotion his ability
as a passenger man was recognized by the
ChesaDeake & Ohio management and he
was appointed general passenger agent of
that road and the prominence the CheSa-
peake & Ohio has attained as a comforta-
BILE and picturesque route to travel over is
largely due to the untiring efforts of Mr..

RATE situation at st. Paul.

All the passenger officials of the West
ern roads are becoming much alarmed over
the rate situation at st. Paul The condi-
ttons there are growing much worse in
stead of better and the roads are fearful
that the decentralization will spread to all
outside of the ST. Paul territory. AS il is
even now all classes of passenger rates
are affected and there seems to be no way
OF stopping the decentralization. The general
opinion among the roads that are mem
bers OF the Western Passenger Association
is that the trouble all arises because the
roads running out of St. Paul are. for the
greater part outside of the association and

New Form of Excursion Ticket.

New Form or EXCURSION IicAet'
The general passenger agents or the
Western roads who for several months
have been trying to find form of round
trip excursion ticket which would prove
useless for scalping purposes, have de-
cided that the ticket invented by General
Passenger Agent Sebastian, of the Rock
Island, and known as the Sebastian ticket,
is the only one that will answer the pur-
nose The chief feature of this ticket is
that the purchaser does not receive the re-
turn portion of his ticket until after he mas
arrived at his destination and is ABOUT to
make the return trip. The ticket agent at
the place of original sale detaches the re-
turn-trip portion of the ticket and sends
II to the Joint agent at the destination of
the traveller and gives the latter an order
for it, In this way the owner of the ticket
is prevented from selling the ticket TO
brokers' for the reason that he has not got
it. and he cannot get it until he Is ready
10 start on his return trip.
