At a conference this morning between
special committee Of the st. Louis lines,
consisting of L. w. Wakely, c. s. Crane

ton until the antiscalping movement in
st. Louis is nearer settlement than it is
now. -
It is stated that there are now but a
few months for the railroads to agree on
the form of ticket contract to be used for
the Worlds Fair traffic, have them printed
and put on sale, and the lines of the corrn-
try are doing nothing In this respect until
ton.
Further. II the scalpers are allowed to
do business in st. Louis at the time of the
Fair a very complicated and exacting sys-
tenn Of iron-clad, joint agency validating
ticket must be devised for use from all
points In the country. while If the ticket
brokers can be prevented from dealing in
these nontransferable contract tickets the
simplest and most convenient form of nom

1t Is believed that as q result of this
conference that the visiting officials will
be able to recommend in a general way a
