TICKET scALPERs DENOUNCED.
We. Daniels says They Are licences ~ and Dea
In stolen ana Counterreit Tickets.

SEr. Daniels says They Are "Fepces >, and Neal
In stolen and Ceunterreit Tickets.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.-George II. Daniels,
general PASSENGER agent of the New York Gen.
trail Railroad, made the principal argument to-
day in advocacy Of the bill prohibiting the sale
Of railroad tickets by scalpers, now pending be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Committees of
tho House and Senate. Tho mass of testimony
and records presented by him and his argu.
ments made q favorable impression upon the
members of both committees, and an effort will
soon be made to report the bill to tho two Houses
and urge Its passage.
Tho ticket scalping ofices of this country,
said : Mr.. Daniels, were generally recog-
nized by tho courts, the Interstate Commerce
Commission. the various State Railway Com
missions and other unparalleled persons who
have taken the time to investigate the subject
as Fences" where stolen. forged and counter
felt tickets and other fraudulent evidences Of q
right to travel found q ready market. 1t was
the opinion Of every man who had investigated
The tn, question s5sIa that fsn, we're Sd 1t mo- not , for tieikst- fo sTanf
forge. or counter felt railroad tickets, as there
would be- no place for their disposal. That
handled by many ticket ecalpers. the criminal
records Of every State. from Maine 70 Cali:
Of Mexico, would amply prove.
MIR. Daniels then cited the record OF cases on
sis o%n S SSad b On dhe t Rs't tickets cin yeo obsai Sesrf fro 6ns
ten burylaries or through dishonest employees.
in many Of which cases the scalper knew the
tickets were stolen. He filed with the, commit,
tees illustrations of counterfeit and forged
tickets and OF the raising, :plugging, and other
wise fraudulently manipulating genuine tickets,
remarking that II he could show them the one
thousandth part Of the villainy forwhich the tick.
OF scRlpers were responsible there would be but
one opinion regarding the bill.
Concerning the statement of George M. NC
Kenzie, who appeared yesterday before the
Senate committee as the representative Of the
two ticket scalpinR associations, that the brok-
ers did not deal in passes, Mr.. Daniels pro
duced evidence to show that on the day Mr..
Mckenzie appeared before the committee, just
before the holidays, an agent Of the railroads in
Chicago had purchased In Mr.. McKenzie's Of
fee a pass from that city to Denver. He also
produced testimony from all over the country
showing that the ticket brokers dealt in passes.
He also filed certified copies of court records in
thirty cases where criminal indictments had
been found against s%calpers for various crimes.
1t was not fair, Mr.. Daniels commended, to
make the railroads subject to the Interstate
Commerce law sell tickets only at regularly
published and filed rates, and at the same time
permit Unauthorized, irresponsible scalpers to
openly violate these laws, q fact which they
themselves acknowledged.
