MIR. TRICE INTERVIEWED.
The Vice President of the lntcrua-
tiOnnl Puts Himself on NccnrL.


Mr.. Leroy Triee, vice president and gen
eral superintendent of the International
ana Great Northern railroad, was In Hous-
ton yesterday, and. In conversation with a
representative of The Post, freely discussed
the action OF the Southwestern Passenger
association at st. Louis in declining to rati-
~ the fine recently imposed against his
company and referring back tho whole mat
ter for reconsideration. He frankly ad-
mlttod that he was pleased with the result,
stated and reiterated that 1t was just what
he expected and positively and emphatical-
ly asserted that there was not now. and
never was, d little of justification for the
imposition of a fine of $4,000, or OF one cent,
against the international in connection
with the transportation OF Riches regi-
mont OF immunes from Galveston to New
Orleans. He stated. further, that the whole
transaction so far as his company was con-
cerntd, was purely and strictly legitimate,
and did not conflict In the slightest manner
with the rules of the Southwestern Passen-
ger Bureau or any other business organlza-
ton. 1t was ali the result of fair and open
competition, and his company was awarded
the contract on general merits. 1t might
seem strange to the public, who had read
to learn that the action Just taken at 81.
Louis was arrived at without even hearing
the lIternational's side of the case. The
error or misrepresentation upon which the
penalty was based was so palpabe that
the association saw IL at a glance, ana
hence the decision TO reconsider. MIR. Trice
then detailed to the reporter all the circum-
stances connected with the contract and the
way in which it was secured but requested
that their publication be withheld for the
present out of courtesy TO the passenger
bureau, to which they may yet have to be
presented. In conclusion. he affirmed that
It would-having both side of the case be-
fore .t--be preposterous on the part OF the
association TO assess a fine against the In
ternRtional, that the inju tice OF such
course would absolutely bar It's enforce
ment, that he was confident his ROAD would
never again be asked 10 give UP a dollar
in the premises, and that II it were it most
certainly would decline doing so. In the
meantime, the association was perfectly IN
tact, everything was moving along har-
moniously, and the International would
continue to live up to its agreements and
do business at the old stand lust the same
as If the bubble exploded at st. Louis hal
never known even an ephemeral existence.
