VANDERBILT MAY RETURN
AND TAKE ACTIVE PART IN THE
CONTROL OF HIS PROPERTIES.
Wabash Let's an Important Contract,
Which Will Be Link i'm Its Trunk
Line East-Personal Notes.

There is plenty of evidence that the East
ern elements are now seeking TO break
through the Vanderbilt and Pennsylvania
Gordon and the decline of securities of late
is giving an opportunity to accumulate
stocks of those heretofore consid-
cred impregnable railroad properties.
There is evidence of possible
change in the New York Central
management in the pressure that has been
brought TO bear TO lead Mr.. Vanderbilt to
take more active interest in the COM
panys affairs, and people associated with
him are said to be greatly pleased with the
result OF efforts which have been made in
this direction. 1t is hoped that Mr.. VAN
derbilt will return to this country prepared
to assume active management of his prop
erty. 1t is recognized, says the Wall Street
Journal. that w. X. Vanderbilt is about as
able railroad executive as there is in the
world to-day. and if he chooses. as it is
believed he will, TO step to the front again
in an active capacity. it will cement more
closely than ever the relation that existed
with the various Vanderbilt interests, in
Guiding the Union Pacific and the Chicago,
milwaukee, & ST. Paul. 1t is said the New
York Central can secure all the money it
needs for immediate construction work on
its new terminal without In any way en-
barrassing itself"

NO HARD-LUCK STORIES
THE INDIANA RAILROADS. As A
RULE, ARE SATISFIED.
However, Their Representatives Are
as Anxious as Ever to Keep Down
the Assessments.

The State Board OF Tax Commissioners
heard the representatives of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railway Company yesterday. T. j.
Frazier. tax agent for the road. DIR. Norton.
general counsel, and w. j. Griffith APP
peared. DR.. Norton is a representative in
Congress from Ohio. The b. & O.'s repre-
sentatives are satisfied with the assessment
fixed by the board last year, which was ST.,
600 a mile for the track and $1,000 a mile for
the entire property in this State. The total
assessment for the B. & o. was si.22 600.
Like other roads, il is claimed for the b.
& o. that while the gross earnings have
increased the operating expenses have also
increased.
The Chicago & Erie Railway Company,
l59 miles of track in Indians was repre-
sented by w. o. Johnson. of Chicago. This
company was last year assessed at $27 369
Attorney Walker. of Chicago. was before
the board in the interests of the Indiana,
Iowa & Illinois and st. Joseph, South Bend
q Southern railroads. making a special plea
for a reduction of the taxes of the st,
Joseph line. 1t has fourteen miles of track
in Indiana and is assessed at Ss.S67 mile.
John r. Walsh, president of the Southern
Indiana. came before the board. and. as
most of the members were personally &C
quainted with him and his road, his re-
marks were listened TO with unusual inter-
est. He did not come with "hard-luck''
story, but asked that no increase be made
in his assessment. He has LAG miles of road
in operation and is paying s12,07s mile.
The Monon, which has S91 miles of track
in its main line in Indiana and fifty-nine
miles in the Michigan City division, was
represented by General Solicitor Fields of
Chicago. The Monon also wants to be let
alone" It's 391 miles of property is as
sessed at $21, 100 a mile and the assessment
on the Michigan City division is $14. 800. The
total valuation of the Monon property fixed
by the board last year was 50, 10000
j. 8. Durrett was before the board to ask
that the assessment on the property of the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railway be al
lowed to remain as ii is.
The board was yesterday addressed in the
interests of other concerns as follows: In
diana Natural Gas Company, Fuel Gas
Company of Indiana, Shippers Refrigerator
Car Company, Boston Live Stock line, Pa
cifc Transportation Company. Milwaukee
Manufacturers Company, Chicago, New
York and Boston Refrigerator Company.
The board was asked to reduce the taxes
of the pipe line companies on account of the
decrease in the supply of natural gas The
assessment of the other concerns seems to
be satisfactory. Part of the day the board
was in executive session, considering the
valuations of some of the interurban lines.

MAN TO SUCCEED CUSTER
THE THREE HOLDERS UNIONS WILL
MEET TOMORROW NIGHT.
Successor to the Business Agent Is to
Be Elected and There Are Many
Aspirants for the Place.

joint meeting of the iron molders of
Unions No. II, IS and $780, will be held to-
morrow evening at Smiths hall. SO North
Illinois street, to elect a business agent to
succeed George Custer, who has been elected
a national vice president. There are about
200 molders in the three unions, and the
election of a business agent will be attended
with no little rivalry. About twelve candi-
dates have announced themselves already,
and their partisans are in the field election
eering with the enthusiasm of politicians A
stormy meeting is expected. AS yet 1t is
hard to say which candidate has the best
chances. They are an running about even
at present.
The business agent of the union is elected
ninety days before he enters service. How
ever il is thought that the agent elected
tomorrow night will begin his duties about
Aug l. as that is the date which Mr..
Custer expects to begin his work as ma
tional vice president. Mr.. Custer said last
night that he expected to be in Indianapolis
much more than in Cincinnati which place
is the Headquarters of the union. His family
will remain in Indianapolis, and this city
will still be his home He said that most
of his time would be spent on the road trav-
cling throughout the United States and Can
ada Mr. Custer was elected vice president
of the iron molders' union at meeting of
the executive board in Cincinnati Saturday,
and is now working hard to finish his bust
ness in this city by Aug. l.

Anti-ScaIping Legislation.
Railway World.

Railway Worf1.
The war against ticket 'scalping is being
vigorously puzzled in ST. Louis Injunctions
have been obtained against the ticket brok-
ers who have retaliated with counter in
functions which will allow them to continue
in business until October.
1t is to be hoped and expected that the
final decision will put a stop TO their op-
erations. The public are gradually being
educated to a correct understanding upon
this question. 1t Is often difficult to per-
suade a man that when he signs another's
name on railroad ticket, or resells ticket
which he purchased under nontransfer-
able contract. he is guilty of fraud upon
the railway. The conscience of the travel
ing public is singularly elastic upon such
matters. and anti-scalplng arguments based
upon moral grounds unfortunately do not
have the weight which might be desired
w hen however, the public are made to see
that If scaping were abolished the rail-
roads would be free to develop passenger
business by offering low rates for special
occasions, and that the average passenger
will travel cheaper than he does at pres
ent, it will not be difficult to secure the
needed legislation in every State where the
evil thrives.
Commercial organizations in many large
cities have comprehended this fact and are
vigorous I'm their opposition to a business
which Injuries the merchant even more than
1t does the railroads. Unlike many other
laws, which depend for the enforcement
upon the voluntary action CT the authori-
ties. the railroad companies always
vigilanu to force prosecutions. All that is
needed in this matter is to educate public
sentiment to the point of forcing legisla-
ton. Once such law is passed the self
interest of the railways will see that it is
carried ont
