-SCALPERS' Bill.
Hearing Resumed Before Inter-
state Committee.
THE STATEMENT OF BERT w. LYON.

Editor of the st. Louis Commercial Travel
er Tells the Committee That Drummers
Are i'm Favor of the Passage of the Pend
ing Bili-Progress of Work on the War
ships Now building President Pardons
Murderer-Capitai Notes.
Washington Jan. 1.-THE senate
committee on interstate commerce re-
sumed its hearing on the anti-scalping
bill. Pending the resumption OF the
testimony of George Nj. Mckenzie of
Chicago, a statement was submitted to
the committee by Bert w. Lyon, ed
itor of The Commercial Traveller of ST.
Louis. Mr.. Lyon said that f. j. Feely
Of Chicago and p. Il. Dow OF New York
did not represent the $4,000 travelling
statesmen of the country. While he did
not desire to be understood as claiming
dreds of thousand of commercial trav-
elers OF the country, he was absolutely
satisfied that the great majority OF
these travellers were in favor of the
pending bill.
He thought II absurd to suppose, as
Messrs. Dow and Feely would have the
committee TO suppose, that the hum
dreds of thousands fcommercial trav-
elers could rot make arrangements with
the railroads as favorable to themselves
as the few thousand ticket brokers'
could make for them.
Mckenzie Resumes Testimony,
If il were not for the severe restric-
tions placed by the railroads upon local
rates made necessary by the business of
the ticket broker il would be possible
for commercial travellers TO make much
better arrangements for their trans
portation than they are now able to
make. Mr.. Mckenzie, the Ch'caGc
ticket broker then resumed his testi-
mony. He presented afiidavits from va
rious ticket brokers in Chicago. St.
Louis, Boston, Louisville and other cit
| les setting forth that they had pur-
| chased tickets directly from the au-
thorized agents of railroads and in
some cases receiving commissions
| thereon.
In response to inquiries by Senator
| Cullom, Mr.. Mckenzie named among
! the lines with which he had done busi-
I ness in Chicago the Big Four, Chicago
1 and Great Western. Chicago, Burling-
] ton and Quincy. Chicago and Alton.
| Union Pacific. Monon route. Wisconsin
| Central. Canadian Pacific. Rock Island.
| He was unable to afford the commit
tee details and particulars concern
( ing the business done with those lines.

The questioning of i Mckenzie
| brought out the staten Mt that the
| bulk OF his business was done over th'
! weak lines. He said that lc could dt
little business with the Canadian Pa
! cifc because law OF Canada prohib
tied brokerage in railroad tickets with

received commissions from the rail
roads for the sale or tickets. but n

kers that they had been paid commits

ENTERTAINlTENT rs,
Grand Opera House.

The stock company produced arab
ian Nights" last evening to a crowded
house. From the rising of the curtain
to the end of the play the audience
certainly enjoyed it, for they never
ceased laughing. The company GER
tainly has made many friends here,
judging from the reception they re-
ceived Miss Ethel Brandon was de-
lightful as Rosa Colombies and looked
charming. Miss Brandon is very
clever actress. Miss Nellie Maskell
played the mother-in-law and was
great, and did not exaggerate part
that could be overdone. Miss Fanny
Yantis as the American girl was indeed
pleasing. Her sweet manner made her
many friends Miss Florence Wallack
as Mrs. Huntington looked handsome
andgave a natural performance of a
loving wife. Thomas Doyle as Arthur
Huntington was splendid. Frank A.
Conner looked handsome and gave a
finish performance of Ralph Ormerod.
Henry Stockbridge was very funny as
Joshua Gillibrand, especially in the
scenes with Miss Brandon. Dobson
was played in an artistic manner by
Thad Shine. Miss Lizzie DeShon was
unable to appear owing to a severe at
tack of Illness, but expects to be able
to appear tonight. The company is an
excellent one. The stage settings are
handsome, and the management,
Messrs. Cone, Stockbridge and Conner,
are surely winning high favor.

LETTER TO CITY OFFICIALS.

Mayor Says City Officials Must Do
More Than Call for Their Pay.
Mayor Farnsworth will issue to-day
the following letter to the officials and
office employees Of the city:
To Officials and Office Employees of the
City of New Haven:
Section 2S2 Of the ordinances pro-
vides that "all city officials, except the
treasurer, and except where it is other
wise provided, shall keep their respec-
tive offices open for the convenience of
the public for not less than seven con-
secutive hours beginning at 8 o'clock
a. m. on every week day, except pub
lie holidays" etc,
I am informed that some persons
construe this to mean that every Off
Ger and employee must not only have
ceased work, but must be outside of
the office free from care, from labor
free" at the end of the seventh hour
after 8 a. M, and that more help must
be employed to get the work done. For
the information of such persons, I ca
pitalize the words open FOR THE
CONVENIENCE OF THE PUBLIC"
which should make it clear that the
trainers of the ordinance sought to al
low a reasonable part of business day
of reasonable length for the perform
ance of office duties free from the an
noyance of callers. Those who feel
that they can earn their salaries by
service from to 4, with time for din
| ner out, probably belong to the class
who would, if allowed, make their COM
ing little later and their going a little
earlier each day, not forgetting tc
lengthen the noon recess, until their Ia
bors were reduced to calling for their
pay. If they happened at this time tc
be engaged in manufacturing or mer-
| camille business they would find it nee
| essary to give their attention to bust
| ness more than six hours a day in or
der to earn enough to pay taxes.
| The system in vogue prior to the
| adoption of the present ordinance, OF
having public offices open only between
and u and 2 and or was an out.
rage of the rights of the people, the
permission of which can only be ac.
| counted for by the possession Of 6
very large amount of patience or very
small amount of influence by the citi
zens who desired to do business ii
public offices between IL and 2.
Let us work together to make the
service what it should be and earn the
right to be satisfied with our efforts.

son, William K. Stevens, Samuel r..

FELL 50 FEET.
MT. WIZ. steadmsn Made Mis-step and
 Received Severe Injuries.
his work

On last Monday night while en route to this city with number of race horses for the Fair, Mir. W. F. Steadman, wealthy race-horse owner from Kansas, accidentally stepped off the railroad trestle near Saline tank, and fell fifty feet, receiy- ing very painful injuries. He had stepped off the caboose aud was walking up to the font cars to look after his horses when the acci- dent happened.
 He was knocked insensible by the fall and was thought to have receiy- ed dangerous injuries. He was re- moved to the caboose, brought to this city and taken to the infirmary for treatment, and we are glad to state that he is now on the rapid road to recovery.
 His escape was almost miraculous.
