SCALPtRS QUIT
THE BUSINESS
Ticket Brokers Are Forced Out
by Injunction From the
Federal Court.
ABANDON THE LOCAL FIELD
SIMILAR RESULTS ARE EX-
PEcTED IN OTHER CITIES.

The railroad ticket scalpers are heing
to the woods. Oscar GrosheIl who has
been in the business for over eighteen
years. closed out yesterday. /. Kahn.
who has been prominent as a shaver on
tickets, also quit Elmer f. Darling. it is
stated by those IN the know" will aban-
don his traffic within few days A. OF
finger the head Of the Ottinger cut-rate
office. is at present on the Pacific coast.
and his employees do not know his inten-
tiOns, but it is confidently predicted that
he will follow the lead of the other three
Salt Lake brokers.
The reason for this sudden abandonment
of field which heretofore has been more
than fertile hinges directly upon the
granting of a federal injunction by Judge
John a. Marshall a short time ago. In
this document all ticket brokers were en-
joined from tTafficking in tickets over the
Denver d Rio Grande and the Southern
Pacific roads Since most of the tickets
handled by the brokers In this section of
the country call for transportation. either
in whole or in part. over one Of these two
lines, the brokers themselves are finding
the scalping business, if not risky, at least
Improbable.
ScaIper Tells His Reasons.
Il have been in the ticket brokerage
business for over eighteen years said
Oscar GTOshell, yesterday, but | have
quit because there is no more money in
it. The injunction preventing US from
handling Rio Grande and Southern Pacific
tickets makes it impossible for me to con-
tinue III the business and my associates
are finding conditions the same. Until a
ticket is issued by railroad companies per-
hitting its use by the bearer, / will not
resume this business.
Therein lies the whole trouble. The
long contract upon each ticket. requiring
the holder to be Identified and 10 sign his
name at the will of the conductor or train
agent has long been stumbling block in
the ticket brokerage business. At five
conventions of ticket brokers. | urged the
making of a fight against this contract
on a ticket, but | could not get the con-
ventions to take it up The result now is
that / am going out of business.
Beaten in Any Event.
Pending before the supreme court Of
determine whether or not the railroad
compa aes have the right TO enjOin ticket
broker from buying and selling ITS TICK
cts. Even if the supreme court should
decide that the companies have no Such
right the brokers would he but little bet
ter off. The contract on each ticket is the
thing which has made nv retirement and
that of my business associates necessary.
That is the important thing. The COM
panv can so tie up a passenger with con-
fitiOns that the buying and selling or
tickets is an impOssibility.
Railroad men here and elsewhere rejoice
in this victory over the ''scalpers.' The
companies and the "scalpers have been
at swords points for years. This enforced
retirement of the 'ScalperS from the
field is regarded as a signal triumph, pre-
saying similar results elsewhere.

tected. Evidence of dirt or other eX-

but in every instance the samples in this,
respect were satisfactory"
In the Bethnal Green district six Amer
lean and six British colonial samples
were analyzed. One of the American con-
tanned sulphites and one of the English
samples contained boracic acid. Twenty
nine mixed samples examined at Deptford
showed no signs of personalities, though
in some cases the meat did not have an
inviting appearance. The analyst, how

warrant its condemnation as unfit for hu-

Denies Governors Right.

state official who is strongly op-
posed to consolidation of the two institu-
lions declared yesterday that the COVER
nor had no right to call a special SEES
sion of the legislature to consider the
matter He cited the following provision
of the state constitution relating TO eH-
traordnary sessions of the legislature:
ION extraordinary occasions the COVER
nor NAV convene the legislature by proc
lamation. in which shall be stated the
purpose for which the legislature is 10
be convened" etc.
This official contends that an 'eXtraor-
binary occasion does not exist at the
present time He pointed out that the
matter of consolidation was before the
last legislature, which deliberately de
Iayed the matter for two years by Great
ing and providing for the appointment
of a commission of investigation. The
act creating this commission, he pointed
out provided that the governor should
appoint the commission; that II should re-
port its findings to the secretary of state
before July l. 1906 and that the secretary
of state should transmit such findings to
the next legisla ture when it shall convene.
This very action of the legislature, 1t
is contended by the official in question,
negatives the idea that an extraordinary
occasion has arisen, and renders the
governor poWerless to call a special ses-
sion. as the decision has been left to a
succeeding legislature. The Official men
toned contends that, even should the
legislature meet and submit the amend
ment. its action in that respect would be
Illegal

What the Petition Says.

The petition is a somewhat lengthy doc
ument In the main, however 1t consists
of a reiteratiOn of the arguments for con-
solidation presented by the majority of
the commission appointed by Governor
Cutler. Figures showing the alleged saw
ing of expense which would result TO the
state as a result of consolidation are set
forth in detail in the petition.
Opnonents of consolidation did not
learn until yesterday that the petition
for an extra session WAS in circulation.
When they learned it they commenced
to get busy The burden of their charge
is that consolidation is a scheme of the
Snoot- Reuublican state machine, and
that the extra-sessiOn plan is being
mooted because the machine is sure OF
its control of the present legislature,
while il is not so sure that ii can die
tate To the legislature to be elected this
coming fall.

Would Obviate Delay.

The object of the advocates of consoll =
dation i'm asking for a special session Is
to obviate delay The majority OF the
special commission appointed by the gov
ernor to investigate the adYisability OF
consolidation has reported in favor of the
adoption of a constitutional amendment
consolidating the two institutions. IN
the ordinary course of events this amend
ment could not be submitted 10 the peO-
pie until the next legislature meets, ana
could not be voted upon by the people
until two years from next November.
On the other hand, if the legislature
were called in session now, it could SUD
nit the matter for the people TO be voted
upon at the November election this year
and. if the amendment were ratified, the
legislature next winter could pass the
necessary legislation to carry the amend
ment into effect. If, therefore, cOnsollda-
ton is to be adopted at all, the extra SEES
sion plan would obviate at least two
years delay. 1t is admitted on all sides
that q constitutional amendment Is neces-
sary to carry consolidation into effect.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 2s.--The
bill appropriating 100000 for the erec-
ton of q new postofIice building at Rich
mond will probably be introduced by
Captnin Lamb tomorrow, although he
may not put 1t in until Wednesday,. It
Will provide that the building be located
on the present site. Both Captain Lamb
and Senator Martin regard the matter
of location AS settled, though the for
mer would prefer to see tho present site
abandoned and another selected.
There IL no doubt that Captain Lamb
wants to secure the appropriation for
the new building, of course, nor Ia he
specially welded to any particular site.
He simply wants to get the building, and
he wants 1t TO he one worthy Of the city,
located In the best position obtainable.
1t is learned that the bill introduced
by Captain Lamb for new Federal
building In Manchester has been incor-
porated in the bill in process OF forma-
ton Ivy the Committee on Public Build
ings. The bill appropriates seventy-fve
thousand dollars 1t may be set down
as certain, however, that the committee
Will not recommend new buildings for
both Richmond and Manchester. If tho
eight hundred thousand dollar building
at Richmond be authorized this session.
Manchester will not get her building. and
vice versa. Captain Lamb realizes this.
Representative Glass said to-day he
thought there was good prospect OF get
ting an appropriation for the enlarge
ment OF the postofiicc building at Roa-
noke. Senator Daniel has Mil pro-
vidng for the Improvement OF the Lynch
burg office. which is likely to be adopted.
Mr.. Glass also hopes to secure appro-
priations for new buildings at Bedford
City and South Boston.
