UP TO SAN ANTONIO
If Ticket ScaIping is Not Stopped No Re
duced Rates Will Be Given to Inter.
tional Fair.

The following dispatch from Sal
Antonio to the Galveston News
seems to mean that the days of the
scalper are numbered:
Unless ticket scalping is effect
ually stopped in San Antonio within
the next Two months the railroads
will refuse to give reduced rates to
the San Antonio international Fair
or any other event. This edict has
been issued by the general passen-
ger agents of every line entering
this city and agreed to by every
connecting line and is issued now
IN order that the city may have
time to take steps to see that ticket
scalping is stopped. The passenger
agents will rely on the injunction
as means of suppressing the sale
of tickets by unauthorized people
and will expect the Business Mems
Club and the Fair Association to
furnish enough good detectives to
see that the provisions of the in
junction are rigidly enforced. This
edict does not apply to San An
tonic, alone, but to every city in
the State"
