Every opportunity is afforded the pur-
chaser to prove himself as the original

turn to the place he bought 1t and get his
money back.
As the patron OF the scalper can force
the broker TO return his money. this ac-
tion of the validating agency has not en-
dcarsd II to the brokers. Especially Is
this true since within the last two weeks
the validating agency has taken up more
than sixty Exposition tickets and the
scalpers have thereby been eompslled to
return the money paid for them
While Mr. Dale was standing I'm front of
the Terminal Hotel last evening he was
attacked by several of the ticket brokers,

so ring Dale about that IL WAS With dif-
ficulty he was able TO escape. When he
