NO MORE TICKET scALPlNo IN

Illinois comes into line with New
York and Pennsylvania in vigorous
action against the ticket scalping
thieves and forgers. three having
been sentenced on Saturday, in Chi.
cago, after fortnight's trial, one of

pleaded guilty TO second indictment,
while the trial of the others will
doubtless proceed to another convic-
ton. Chicago has long been a favor
lite field for ticket speculation, and a
blow against the nefarious practice
could nowhere have been landed more
effectively. The persistent and unit
ed efforts of the leading railroads of
the country to exterminate the bust
ness, which is simply one of petty lar
ceny, robbing the poor and the wage
earners. are bringing most satisfac-
tory results.-From the BROOKLYN
