COURT RENDERS DECISION
AGAINST TICKET BROKERS,

New Orleans Times-Democrat, Feb
o. Judge Parlange of the United
States Circuit Court yesterday decid-
ed TO enjoin ticket brokers from deal
ing in Mardi Gras tickets.
The decision was a sweeping vic
tory for the railroads on all defenses
urged. Judge Parlange limited the in
junction to tickets issued for the COM
ing Mardi Gras festivals, but under
the law, as laid down by him, the
railroad companies have only to ap-
ply and get the injunction extended,
whenever any other special occasion
arises, before the final decision Aft
er the final decision there will be no
need for special application, as it will
cover all nontransferable tickets.
1T may be worth while for any
ticket scclper intending to evade this
law to remainder that Judge Parlange
punished every violation of an injunc-
tion issued by him in the case of
the telephone stikers by at least two
months Imprisonment" said the at
torneys of one of the railroads after
the reading of the decision yesterday.
This decision is as follows:
Il shall file i'll this matter a writ
ten opinion. The fundamental ques-
ton in this matter is not whether a
statute forbidding any person from
engaging in the business of buying
and selling any railroad tickets what
ever, would be upheld by this court.
But the question is whether the de-
PENDANTS can, and should, be enjoin-
ed from buying and selling railroad
tickets. issued at reduced rates to per-
sons who contract and bind them
selves not to transfer them, the non
transferability being clearly apparent
on the face of the tickets.
'At times, during the course of the
argument on behalf of the defendants,
it seemed to be assumed by their
counsel that the matter in hand was
whether the defendants could be en-
Joined from buying and selling any
railroad tickets, whether ordinary
transferable tickets or nontransfera-
BILE tickets. No such question is here
in involved.
Great reliance was placed by de-
PENDANTS counsel on a decision of the
Court of Appeals of New York, hold
ing that statute evidently intended
to practically destroy and prohibit the
business of railroad brokers, regard
less of the nature of the tickets dealt
in, would not be sustained by the
n
Court of Appeals of Texas was also
pressed upon the attention of the
court. 1t is perfectly clear that it
was not held in these cases that a
person who has, by contract, for val
liable consideration, bound himself to
a railroad company not to transfer
ticket, will be allowed by the courts to
violate his contract, and that outsiders,
whose purpose is personal gain, Will be
allowed by the courts to assist the
ticket holder in violating his contract.
1.-The necessities of the defendants
case compel them to deny the validity
of a contract between a railroad COM
pany and ticket holder, whereby in
consideration of a reduced rate, the
tickets made nontransferable. But
it is clear, beyond question. that the
matter has been settled adversely to
the defendants contention. 1t is
