DECISION ON SCALPINC.
Recorder Allen Of Galveston Holds It Is q
Legitimate Business.
The COMING MEETING At DENVER, COLO.
Many Matters Dealing with the Con-
troll of Railroads Are to he
Discussed.

Galveston, Texas, August THE ticket
court this morning and came out victo-
rious. They escaped by a Scratch" TO
use a sporting phrase, but received lee
ture and a warning from Recorder Allen
that should prove wholesome in the flu
ture.
The offense this time did not consist in
selling tickets. The charge was disorderly
conduct in a public street. The city at
tempted to show by Officer Perrett, who
made the arrest. and by several wit
the public to such an extent as to be con-
eidered disorderly conduct. The testimony
was that the two defendants, together
with about dozen other ticket ssalpers,
had lined up directly in front of the steps
at the Union passenger station and that
they were very clamorous in their efforts
to buy railroad tickets from the excur-
sionists who came to town yesterday. Of
fcer Perrett warned them repeatedly that
they must M go upon the steps or upon
the station platform. The two prisoners
had been more vociferous than the others
and were arrested.
In somewhat lengthy statement at the
close of the case, Recorder Allen took the
ground that railroad tickets are common
property and may be bartered from hand
to hand Ne believes a person has as
much right to sell the unused half of 4
railroad ticket he has bought as he has
to sell horse that he owns The right
to sell naturally carries with it the right
to buy. But the recorder held that the
buying or soliciting may be conducted in
such an offensive manner as to be an an
noyance to the travelling public and as to
constitute violation of the ordinance.
He warned the defendants, and through
them the scalpers of Galveston generally,
that they must respect the orders of the
officer in charge at the station, and that
II any Of them come before him again on
similar charge he will impose fine.
