SCALPER FIGHTS
PASSENGER MEN
Claims Western Passenger ASs
ISOLATION Is an Illegal
Organization.

The " estern Passenger association has
been compelled by a st. Louis scalper to
IS defend itself against the charge that it
4 is an illegal organization.
George l. Hird having an Office in the
Iindell hotel st. Louis, was arrested a
few days ago on charge of violating the
federal court injunction restraining
scalpers from dealing in nontransferable
tickets. His lawyers set up the defense
that the Western Passenger association,
being an organization conducting business
contrary to the Sherman antitrust law,
is not entitled to an injunction against
scalper.
Chairman Macleod. of the Passenger
association, who q few days 100 went to
Florida on q vacation. was called back
TO st. Louis to defend the association. He
now is in that city, ready to make a
strong plea against the contention OF the
sCalperS.
Passenger officials of the Western roads
in St. Paul have no fear that the injunc
ton against the scalpers in st. Louis Will
be vacated. They hold there is nothing
in the charge. as the association is not
q pool, but was organized merely to fix
raIeSsfor meetings, conventions, etc, and
to make necessary arrangements for the
interchange Of through business and the
running of unbroken through trains.
Even if the charge was true. they say,
II would not give the ScalperS the right
to violate the injunction, as it was not
obtained by the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION, but independently by the Wa
bash and a few other st. Louis lines,
organizations of that city.
The advisory committee of the immi-
grant bureau of the Western Passenger
association held a stormy meeting in Chi
cago Tuesday to consider the action of
the Union Pacific in employing Peter Nc
DOnnell, of New York. its immigrant
agent, in violation of the pooling agree
ment. The Union Pacific received much
abuse for what was declared to be an
attempt TO break up the association, but
it cOntended it had the right to take such
action and other lines could hire McDon-
ell or any other outside agent if they
desired.
In order TO prevent a collapse of the
ureaU. some of the lines evinced will
Ingness to let Mcdonnell act as agent for
all lines and have the routing of the
business done through the immigrant
bureau. Other roads held this could not
be done unless the steamship lines which
receive a commission for securing the
business, We're willing to allow McDon-
nell to get the commission on the bust
ness secured by him. Finally the rout-
ing committee of the immigrant clearing
house was instructed to confer with the
steamship agents and see whether they
are willing to consent to a modification of
the agreement.

OPPOSE LARGER
PENSION GRANT
Minority Committee Members
Emphasize Point Against
Presidents Order.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April "a
Under a special rule the house today
devoted itself to consideration of a bill
amending the law relating to the Phil
fppine islands. The provision in ref
erence to the granting of railroad
franchises and the guaranteeing of 5
per cent on the cash capital actually
| invested in such railroads was opposed
by Mr.. Jones (Va-), who alleged that
British and Belgian capitalists were
ready to build the roads without such
guarantee.
Messrs. Cooper CWis.) and Crum-
packer Qnd.), in urging the passage
of the bill, declared that it properly
safeguarded the interests of the Fill
ipinos.
The general deficiency appropriation
bill, carrying a total of $10,3S8,744, was
reported. The largest item is $4,000
600 for pensions. Of this sum $780,
600 is an estimated deficiency which
will be caused by the execution of the
recent service pension order. The mi
nority members of the committee
made a fight against this,item and a
minority report accompanies that of
the majority to the house. The mi
nority views are signed by Represent
ativeS Underwood, Brundidge, Benton,
Livingston and Pierce.
The conclusion of the minority is
that there is no warrant of law for the
appropriation of the $150O,0O0, re-
quested by the commissioner of pen
siOns for the purpose herein stated.
1t says: N-7ezEs -
While there are members of congress
who favor service pension law, it is not
within the Jurisdiction of the appropria
tiOns committee to consider the question
Our duty is confined to providing the
money to pay the obligations of the
United States contracted under the law.
The point we desire to make is that
there is no law on the statute books Of
the United States that warrants the ST.,
500, 900 appropriation asked for by the
commissioner Of pensions to pay the de-
fciency caused by executive order No. IS,
and we will move on the floor of the
house to reduce the appropriation asked
for pensions to the extent of $1,000, 600
for that reason. t--,--

DECLARES BEET SUGAR

1417 G Street.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 13-
In the opinion of Charles F. Saylor, the
special agent of the agricultural de-
partment in charge of beet sugar in
vestigations, there is fine chance for
small business communities through
out the Western states to engage in
the beet sugar industry. Not only the
farmers, but the merchants and all
other classes of citizens will, he says,
profit by a development of this BUSH
ness. Mr.. Saylor recommends that To-
cal business associations raise money
to rent a tract of land in the vicinity
of their towns, and that idle labor be
employed to raise beets and sell them
to a factory. He figures out what can
be done with a tract OF 10000 acres
rented in this way:
Let US examine what the possibilities Of
such project are: The rent of the land
q, 900 acres at IS an acre. would be
So, 1000. The rent of such lands for ordi-
nary purposes would be $3.50 to So. The
Increase in rent value to the farmer Is
therefore 81 an acre. Ten tons Of beets
per acre in a beet growing seton (such
as Minnesota), rightly superintendent Is
small average. At this rate the yield
would be 10 600 tons of beets, whose value
at IS per ton would be $50, 600. Can any
one fail to appreciate the influence of
the receipt of $780, 900 annually in a small
community surrounding q town Of say,
1000 inhabitants? 1t would swell the vol
ume of business of all kinds: it would
enhance the value of real estate and in
crease the rental values throughout the
district. Walter E. Clark.

COMMISSION WILL

Interstate Organization VIII Look into
Tariffs.

WASHINGTON. D. c., April 13.-The
interstate commerce commission today
issued the formal order instituting an in
yestigation Of the differentiaI rates on
foreign and domestic traffic by all rail and
water and rail lines in both directions
between interior points in the United
States and the various North Atlantic
ports. including New York, Boston Phila-
delphia. Boston. Newport News, Norfolk
Portland, Halifax and Montreal
The first hearing will be held in New
York on May IS. when representatives of
the railroads and commercial bodies in
terested are required to appear.
In its order the commission saws that
these differential rates have long been a
subject Of contention between the different
ports and carriers and are the alleged
cause of a pending contest between i'm
portant lines leading from Lake Erie ports
to some Of said North Atlantic ports,
and the public interests would be served
by an inquiry and investigation with a
report and opinion thereon, as has been
requested. All persons commercial bod
les or carriers interested are invited TO
appear before the commission and to pre-
sent any evidence or argument they de-
sire.
