TICKET sCALPERs PROSPEROUS.
Charges Made That Many Railroads
Assist Them.

Denver, July 12.-Charges are be-
ing made that through the connivance
of many roads throughout the coun-
try ticket scalpers are being enabled
to ply a. profitable trade, in the dispo-
sition of special contract ST. Louis
tickets. The Railway Ticket Protec-
tive bureau. with headquarters at Chi
cago, makes the charge, and a num-
Der of the roads of this city which
hold membership in the bureau have
been notified in a circular from the
executive board of the bureau of this
connivance. 1t is asserted that by
failure uniformly to require the prop
er filing in of dates, descriptions and
signatures of original purchasers, I'M
encouraged and made easy. This con-
dition has resulted in loss to carriers
generally and in profit and encourage
ment to ticket scalpers. 1t has es-
pecially resulted in loss of traffic to
lines which have observed their agree
ments. Reference is made to the dis
couraging position of roads which
earnestly desire to prevent fraudulent
traffic in tickets while equally desir-
Gus of protecting revenue. The fail
ure of roads to avail themselves of
protection against scalpers, which the
courts have recognized as right and
proper. places them in contempt of
the tribunals of whom they have
asked protection and redress and null
lilies the efforts of courts in their
behalf.

Nc MON WAR
OFF TO CHINA
WELL KNOWN ATTORNEY AND

CHINA.

Ng Mon War the Chinese politician,

away He departed from Honolulu last
Monday for the Orient by the China
The departure of Ng Mon War the dis
tinguished attorney and politician,
came in the nature of a surprise to his
friends and political followers-and they
were considerable.
According to Ng's announcement. he
was called away to China by his cou-
sin WI Ting Fang the former Chinese
minister at Washington. WI felt
the need of Ng, so Ng claimed, and the
local man was sent for. In fact Ng
was the man of the hour in Chinese
affairs and his counsel was solicited.
Just what Ng is to do is not certain He
gave out that he would, in all likeli-
hood go to Washington to the Chinese
embassy at that place, in the capacity
of some sort of secretary or clerk. In
any event whatever it be, the position
will be important, for Ng's talents are
appreciated. He also said that he
might never return to Honolulu to live,
but he thought it very probable that
he might pass through Honolulu from
China en- route to the scenes of his
| diplomatic labors.
Now that Ng Mon War has entered
the service of his native country, he
can pull his pig tail from underneath
his undershirt and wear the queue
either down his back or else on the top
of his head in the sight of the multi
tude. That queue was always a source
of embarrassment to Ng Mon War dur
ing his residence in Honolulu, especial
| ly during his political labors. He
used to hide the queue by wearing it
down his back on the inside of his
clothes. With his new employment
however a queue is a badge of honor,
so Ng can use his hair with telling eff
| feet.
