RAILROADS
ROBBED OF
THOUSANDS
Ticket SCalpGrS and
Conductors Are
CulpritS.
Special Dispatch to The CAN.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Detectives Of the
Passenger Association have obtained
evidence that the railroads terminating
in st. Louis have been defrauded OF
about 100000 since the opening Of the
fair by the collusiOn of the railway con-
ductors and ticket scalpers. Reports
made to the heads of passenger depart
ments of the number of persons carried
on the trains to and from St. Louis
over certain roads did not correspond
with the number of tickets turned in by
the conductors TO the railway auditors.
An investigation was made on one road
with the above result a close watch
upon certain conductors resulted in the
finding of proof that they were furnish
ing tickets to agents of the st. Louis
scalpers. In most cases the conductors
held out the return coupons Of round
trip fair tickets issued by their respect
i've lines between points on regular
runs"
To stop the wholesale stealing by
their conductors, many Of the ST. Louis
lines have just put a ticket collector on
each car of their trains and other roads
are preparing to do so. Another plan
which all roads will adopt is to require
that all return coupons of round-trip
tickets to St Louis are to be presented
to a joint agent at ST. Louis and
stamped good for passage only on a
certain date.

In Support of
Theories.

Subsidy" In this one word is crys-
tallized all the suggestion, all the the
ory, all the logic and all the hope of
the San Francisco shipowners and
commercial men that advised yester-
day with the members of the Merchant
Marine Commission of Congress at the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce.
Discriminating tariffs, tonnage tax,
free ships, extension Of the postal
bounty, export bounty and aid of
American merchant vessels in a thou
sand ways were suggested, but, always
keeping the national treasury and the
bank accounts OF American manufac-
turers and laborers and artisans in
view, the whole question reverted
again to subsidy" The only question
that remained unanswered is: Who
shall pay this tribute that must be
given to re-establish the prestige Of the
American merchant marine?
George A. Newhall, president OF the
Chamber Of Commerce, called the
meeting OF the commission to order
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock and,
after assuring the committee that its
presence here was appreciated by the
shipping interests of the coast, intro
duced the members of the, commission
to the assembly, which was composed
of the most prominent commercial and
transportation men of the city.

There are two electoral and two

Payne came over from Washington
and met Senator SpoOner and Repre-

They had long conference over the
situation. The President is by no

in the Chicago convention and had the
La Toilette delegates thrown out He
had requested that the whole dispute
be left to the courts and that each

SENATOR GALLINGER REPLIES.

Chairman of Commission States Pur-
pose of Visit Here.
In replying to Mr.. Newhall. Senator
Jacob H. Gallinger chairman of the
commission, after expressing apprecia-
ton on behalf Of himself and COL
leagues for the courtesies that had
been extended them since their ar
rival here, addressed himself to the
work before the commission, saying in
part:
Il regret to repeat a statement l
have made many times and that is that
the merchant marine interests are in
a deplorable condition The commits
sion is here to secure from practical
men information that will help us in
reaching a conclusion we may present
to Congress as a report of the result
of our labors. We realize that the
questions to be dealt with are technical
and require much study. In the many
cities we have visited we asked those
interested, as you are. in the Shipping
interests of the country to state their
case. We ask the same of you, assur-
ing you In advance that the sugges-
tions you may make will be carefully
The San Francisco call., 1904-08-05

and conscientiously considered by this
commission.
Senator Gallinger's expression was
warmly applauded. When silence
came the commission Immediately
plunged into the work before 1t. The
examination Of what might be termed
witnesses, or, rather, the questioning
of those that came to give advice. had
not proceeded far when it became man
ifest that three schools of thought
were to be advocated by their parti-
sans.
First-Subsidies (properly and strictly
so called). This remedy amounts to
the direct payment from the Federal
treasury of a given sum for each mile
of outward voyages of ships CARRYING
the American flag. 1t was most strong
Iy advocated by E. F. Preston. who
ity as a director Of the Oceanic Steam
ship Company. From his replies to
questions put by Senator Gallinger it
was apparent that he favored this pol
icy.
Second-Free ships and differential
duties on imports This mixed remedy
involves the rebate of duties on imports
carried by American built ships carry
ing the American flag and the priyi-
lege, now withheld. of flying the Amer
lean flag on ships built abroad. This
policy is favored. apparently, by Rep
resentative Spight Of the commission.
Its strongest advocate yesterday was

owners Association of the Pacific

RoLPH GIVES HIS VIEWS.
Advocates Free Ships and Imposing OF
DifferentaiI Duties.

Differentau Duties.
James Rolph Jr., advocate Of free
ships and differential duties, was the
first to address the commission yester-
day His paper, which was carefully
prepared and demonstrated that he had
given much careful thought to the
question. was. in part, as follows:
1t seems strange that manufacturing and
business concerns generally seem to have the
right Of combination. while the same rights
are denied carriers. The Sherman act strictly
prohibits any contract entered into for the
purpose Of regulating freight rates of railroads
or ships engaged in Interstate or foreign com
merce Such combinations, II they should
exist would be illegal and void, being in re-
straint of trade and commerce. and therefore
violating the provisions of the act. The law
of our country therefore absolutely prohibits
individual shipowners from combining in any
way whatever for the purpose Of advancing
freights even though ruination be staring them
in the face. The amalgamation OF great car
rying CORPORATIONS under a single head now
so common, Is but a result Of this Sherman
act Under such conditions does It not seem
reasonable that Congress should in some way
foster our American shipping offset to

the United Hatters being an unincor-

sweeping in its effect, the labor organi-
zstion being given a standing before
the court and every contention upheld.
The matter Of a contract between the
unions and employers is held to be
legal One Of the salient features Of
the decision is the statement that
strikes and their concomitants are not
as injurious as some Of the court de-
cisions; the latter being permanent in
their effect. while the strike and dis
