To Foil the Scalpers,

According to the Philadelphia Press
the railroads running to Chicago have
been obliged to take extraordinary
measures to overcome the forgeries
and other crimes committed by ticket
scalpers. Heretofore the stamps and
signatures required on return tickets
sold at reduced rates to large gather
ings have been freely counterfeited by
the "scalpers," or ticket brokers, and
the work was so skilfully done as to
readily deceive conductors. The com
panies have now devised a special seal
with an embossed design similar to
the lathe work used on paper money,
and this has been copyrighted If this
seal is counterfeited. the culprts will
be prosecuted in the United States
courts. Heretofore prosecutions of this
kind. have been in state courts, whera

brokers had more or less effect. They
will not SO readily risk prosecution in
the Federal courts. But what COM
ment on our laws is found" says the
Press, 'in the necessity or the roads
which have to adopt such measures to
protect themselves from wholesale
fraud, congress should wipe the par
asitical sCalpers out of existence, as
has already been done in Pennsyl-
Vania."
