ADOPTS NEW TICKETS
santa Fe Will Use Recently Patent
ed Design

Beginning with today the Santa Fe
will use an improved design of the Sim
pick ticket instead Of its old book one
way, round trip and special-rate tickets.
In addition, new card tickets viii be used
which are much simpler in design than
the old ones, yet harder to alter.
The Santa Fe has been troubled for
some time by it's book tickets being al
tered and the destinations changed. The
company thereby lost money and it was
decided 70 change tickets. although the
cost was something like 800 900.
The Simplex ticket we'll deserves its
name. It is the simplest form of a ticket
imaginable and at the same time IS eco
nonical, as each ticket can be made to
apply TO a number Of different stations.
On each ticket every station on the d.
vision is printed in parallel columns run
ming vertically up and down the ticket
When a purchaser indicates the station
to which he desires transportation, one
OF these tickets IS placed unde an iron
frame and torn IN two, one part being
given the passenger and the other retain
ed by the company. Opposite the station
TO which the ticket IS cod q tongue Of
paper projects. a glance at the ticket IN
forms a conductor whether or not there
has been an attempt made 70 alter it as
the paper tongue cannot be changed with
out being cut OFF and pasted on in an
other position, which would easily be
seen. It is thought the new tickets Will
result in an inlmens saving to the eom-
pany.
The new card tickets are the same size
as before but have & face yellow in color.
The design Is very plain and Of such a
character that alteration Of It vii De
easily visible. The back Of the ticket IS

as the number of phones is increased

BELL IN RICHMOND.
City Attorney Serves Important
Notice on the Bell Company.
Supreme Court to nc Asked to Take Action
In This Case City Authorities, May Or
der Deli Poles and Wires Cut Down.


Sundays Richmond Times says:
1t was learned last night that City
Attorney II. r. Pollard yesterday
served notice on Messrs. Stiles & Holt
day. of counsel for the Southern Bell
Telephone Company, that he would on
the second Monday in January file n
motion before the Supreme Court OF the
United States asking either the dis
missal of the case OF the Southern Bel
Telephone Company VS.. the city OF
Richmond. or'that the Judgment OF the
United States Circuit Court OF Appeals
be affirmed. The latter tribunal last
spring sustained the contention of the
city to the effect that the Bell Company
had no right upon the streets OF Rich-
mond.
the Southern Bel Telephone Company
began their war. and ut that time the
Richmond Telephone Company, or what
has ever since been called the new
company, was chartered and began
business here. The franchise of the
Bell people had expired, and The Coun-
Gil ordered them to remove their poles
and wires from the streets of the city.
To this the Bell Company paid no at
tention.
ABOUT TO CUT DOWN POLES
THE committee on streets was about
to send out n force of men TO chop
down the poles and wires Of The old
company, When The Bell people fled ,n
application with the United States Dis
trict Court and secured an Injunction
restraining the city from Interfering
with its service in any way ON the
ground that the streets of the city were
post roads. and, therefore, the tele-
phone wires and poles being used in
the transmission of matters pertaining
to the United states business had q
legal right to be and remain upon Them.
This question was fought out IN the
courts, the city being victorious. the
United States Circuit Court of APPEALS
rendering decision in accordance with
instructions from the United States
Supreme Court. IT was taken from
this court on supersedeas proceedings
To the supreme Court recently. and
when this tribunal rcconvpnos after the
HOLIDAYS Mi Pollari's motion Nu!l DC

eff the Supreme Court susta'us the
motion Of the city attorney by lis
missing the case or affirming the iulg-
mont Of The Circuit Court of Appeals
1t will then lie up to tile Council "a act.
unless the Bel Company should quietly
retire from the field.
Much interest would he NANTES ted
in tie question whether or not the City
Council would again ;ttempt to cut
down the poles and wires of the i3oll
%omnany. and likewise in what steps
the company would take 20 maintain n
status on the streets of Richmond"
