ANTl-scALPlNe ORDINANCE WORKS
Galveston Has Succeeded in Enforcing
It's Law.


Its Law.
Galveston, Texas, June 29.-Notwitn-
standing the fact that there nave
been excursions to Galveston every week
thus far this season there hGe been no
complaint of consequence made regarding
the operations of scalpers. 1t viii be re.
membered that shortly before the Neptune
Carnival in May the city commissioners,
at the request of the railroads entering
the city, passed an anti-scalping ordinance
TO protect the roads. Secretary Gardner
OF the Business League, who was one Of
the most Interested workers In securing the
adoption OF the ordinance, informed Tue
Post correspondent this morning that It
had worked admirably and that Ii bad only
been necessary to make two arrests for
Its violation Both alleged violations were
by the same individual. MIR. Gardner says
that TO his knowledge there is only one
scalper operating in Galveston and he Is
not dealing in non-transferable tickets.
The excursion business amounts to a
great deal to Galveston, there having seen
an average OF possibly 1000 excurslonlsts
per week here this summer. II the ordl-
nance had not had the desired effect Presl-
dent Jockusch of the Business League ana
others were going to make an effort to
secure the enacting of a State law against
scalpers at the next session of the legis-
lature.
