THE NO-TSU-OH 4
CARNIVAL

4 Tsu-oh Carnival and Street Fair beg leave
Colonel Morse has been out Of the city
SO much frequently that we did not have
an opportunity TO confer with him before
now. At his office this afternoon we took
the whole question of rates Up and dis
cussed 1t with him quite freely. Not to
go into details, the result Of the inter-
view was that ne gave us to understand
that the Southern Pacific lines, and. In
fact. all other railroads entering Houston.
are willing 10 cooperate With You and
others having In charge our Carnival and
| street Fair toward securing cheap rates
| and In giving all concessions the railroads
can In justice to themselves give This,
however. on the condition that you as a
/ body, together with the Business League
and Cotton Exchange. operate with the
your power seconded by the mayor and
city oihcials 10 suppress scalplng OF tickets.
To this end he asks first. Thar you send
| a petition TO the railroad commission OF
Texas from the different organizations Of
| Houston, seconded by the mayor and city
officials, asking the commission TO pro.
| mulgate the proper order preventing ticket
| scaiping In Houston.
! Second. that you get out an injunction
restraining and preventing ticket scalping
in Houston, and with this purpose In view
| the railroad will furnish detectives and
these detectives will cooperate with de-
| teetives furnished by the city.
! San Antonio secured cheap rates at the
| hands of the Southern Pacific with this
sort of an agreement but refused to 60
| make test case. We believe that next
year they will not get similar concessions
! from the railroad.
FL Paso has asked for cheap rates and
the same has been required of them as Is
! required of us; In other words. we do NOT
| believe we can get any concessions from
| the railroads unless We take Immediate and
active steps to cooperate with them In
this matter.
For this purpose we suggest that You
! call meeting Of your directory as soon as
/ possible, as these matters win require time
| TO carry them into execution and even
after the rates are accorded us some tlme
| IS needed to advertise the fact to the pub
/ lie In order TO secure the crowd we want
! for Houston
| If you will notify us of the date Of your
meeting some member of our committee
! VIII he present to explain these matters
| to you In detail and to give all the assist.
! anee In our power. Respectfully submit
ted,
