Chicago. Sept. 25.-J. G. Stubs,
committee appointed about two
months ago by all the railroads west
Of Chicago to study the doubtful points
in the new rate law, and to secure the
advice of counsel regarding them, has
completed the preparation of the com
mittee's report on passenger matters
and it will be formally submitted at
a meeting of the Transcontinental Pas
senger association tomorrow. The re-
port, which takes the form of answers
TO thirty questions propounded by the
various rail companies, deals with al
most every phase of passenger trans
portation under the law, and especially
with the questions which have been
raised relative to granting reduced
rates and free transportation.
Hits the Homeseeker a Whack.
The Interpretation of the most import
ant parts of the new law follows: Free
transportation cannot be given to land
or immigration agents unless they are
employees in such sense that the car
riers legally could give them transport
tation as a pass or gratuity. There is
no authority in law for making lower
rates to land seekers and settlers than
for other travellers. This Interpretation
seems to abolish the hOmeSeekers' eX-
cursion which all western lines have
been running for years
Passes and Advertising.
The committee advises that trans
portation cannot be issued in payment
for advertising. It is generally accept
ed, however, that carriers may carry
an open account with publishers and
that publishers may carry an open ac-
count with carriers for advertising,
and that these accounts can be bal
anced periodically The balance. what
/ ever it may be, must be paid in cash.
! The transaction must be devoid of pre-
| vious agreement that the services done
| by either party for the other is to be
paid for in any other way than by
cash.
