oit,, &c handy with headlines announc-

vol, a clipping from the Railway Age,
~ radical organ of the railroads, to
40 Herald and requested it be printed.
socouse II was a matter of news. Did
tho Herald print it? Nit. Manager
IaIebeart decided that as the Herald
was owned by Senator clark, ana sen
.tor Clark owned railroad, or thlnks
he does. it would not be proper Dit
If news. The Tribune was offered the
same story but declined it because
the Herald had. Now here is the yarn,
oIinned and reprinted verbatim by
railroad journal that has no more use
for a ticket broker than his Satanic
majesty has for aqua pura that has
been blessed:
encouraged by the defeat of the
antiscalping ordinance the ticket
ocalpers of Texas, backed by their
national association, are preparing to
prosecute the railways, under the
charge of violating the antitrust law
of the state. 1t is stated that several
former employees of the roads have en-
tered the service OF the scalpers ana
that evidence has been secured against
the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe, ROCK
Island and Missouri, Kansas Il Texas,
to prove that they have violated every
section but two of the state law. The
Saint Louis court of appeals has de-
clared void the city ordinance requlr'
ing ticket brokers in selling certain
tickets to give the purchasers signed
statement showing the name of the
company which issued the ticket and
other facts tending to prevent fraudu-
lent transfer. A broker named w. Z.
Cooper was convicted for violating the
ordinance and in default Of payment
of fine was sent to the workhouse. He
applied for release under writ of ha-
beas corpus, alleging that the ordi-
nance was invalid, and the court of
appeals has sutained the contention
and ordered Cooper's release"

Mr.. Stubs, after Ben Campbell left
the latter to go with Hills Great
Northern road. They have been max
ing a trip over the new Salt Lake and.
Les Angeles road, which is to be

Yesterday morning and had to return
there last night, much to his dislikel
They caught him with a court sub
poena just as he was departing for this
CITY, and that is why he had to go
