said w B. Leeds, president of the Rocl
Island railway, that there is no foun
dation whatever in the report that tn
Hartman interests have secured con
troll of the Rock Island There has beer
no change whatever in the control o.
the road, and, so far as am aware
none is contemplated. The first I heard
of the Hartman story was when 1 read
1t this morning on the train on my way
here from Denver"
President Leeds also denied the re-
port that the Rock Island, or parties
controlling it. had or were about te
secure control of the Chicago & North
western He also said that there was
no intention of bringing here Vice Pres
ident Charles A Warren of the Jersey
Central as vice president in charge OF
traffic of the Rock Island, or as assist
ant to the president.

The threatened invasion of the ter

Hartman people and it is said they
Immediately began to plan for either
an absorption of the Rock Island or all
arrangement that would foreStall fur

California is now controlled by the

These roads are working under an

of revenue from overcompetition.

line to Ell Paso, Tex, where connection
is made with the Southern Pacific for
California.
If a majority of the stock of the
Rock Island has not been bought by
the Hartman syndicate it is quite GER
tain that some strong agreement has
been entered into by these two interests

the coast, accepting instead a cOnnec-
ton with the Southern Pacific that win

Northern and Central California is
served by the Northwestern and Union

states, while the southern part of the
state is preempted by the Southern Pa

The southern Pacific is handicapped
by not having route to southern Cali

Ell PASo NOTIFIED.
Railroad Official Tells Tt That It Must
Abolish Ticket Scalpers.

Ell Paso. Tex. March 25.-S. F. B. Morse.
passenger traffic mana ger of the Southern
Pacific, has informed the Ell PaSo Cham
Der of Commerce that it must take action
to protect the company against ticket
ScalperS. At the meeting of the organi-
cation Mr.. Morse said
When l say that YOU need not expect
any low excursion rates unless you pro-
tect us from the scalpers. do not by any
means utter the statement in the nature
of threat. but simply give you timely
warning The Southern Pacific is friendl Y
toward Ell Paso. 1t believes in the future
greatness of the city. The railroad will do
all in its power to promote your welfare.
All the company asks is that you should
do all you can to protect the company
against unjust imposition and fraud A
contract is made to carry a certain person
to and from FL Paso When there are hun
dreds route it is utterly impossible to
identify returning traveller the per
son to whom the excursion ticket was
originally sold. Furthermore, and 1 say it
advisedly, there have been and will be
counterfeit tickets issued. The scalpers
have secured an impression of the COM
panyS seals and print almost perfect du-
plicateS of the genuine tickets. The scalp
erS evade the law by making conditional
sales. and if ticket is not accepted out of
one station it is mailed to another point
When Mr. Morse had concluded his re-
marks he advised that the decision
he had announced and the views he had
expressed would be duly submitted to the
TRANSPORTATION committee of the chamber
of commerce. when final action regarding
the matter would probably be taken.
