1t after making a personal visit to
Chicago and St Louis.
READ THIS CAREFULLY.
The lines which have agreed To haul
the two press sleepers did so on the
express condition and understanding
that the excursion should be made up
entirely Of bona tide newspaper men
and immediate members Of their fam.
lilies, requiring Mr.. Henry to certify
that the list is composed OF recognized
newspaper people. 1t is his intention
to stand rigidly by the instructions
given by the roads, hence it will be
useless for any persons other than ed.
itors, publishers or proprictors of
newspapers to apply for these courte-
sizes, for all such will be turned down.
No editor or publisher has the right
to tranfer u proxy to a person not ac-
tually engaged in the business Of pub
fishing a newspaper, and no proxies
will be recognized unless given to le-
Ultimate newspaper people. Persons
who have filed applications with the
secretary know whether they are en-
titled to transportation under the
above conditions, and those who can.
not establish their claim will he EN-.
barrassed IL they attend the meeting
expecting to go on the press excursion,
for no one will be listed about whom
there is any doubt.
The Illinois Central reserves the
right to issue passes direct to the
parties going on the excursion, and
those who know definitely that they
are going should notify the under
signed at once. The other roads will
pass our people on the certificate OF
Mr.. Henry. Fraternally,
