ROUT TICKET SCALPERS
U. S. Supreme Court Ruling
Puts Three Out of Bust
ness Permanently.

Chicago, Dee. 3.-The supreme court |
of the United States has sustained the |
right of the railroads to enjoin brokers /
from dealing in non transferable tick
cts, thus putting an end to a business /
which has hourshed in this country /
for fifty years.
The decision. handed down yesterday /
by Justice White, affirmed the judg-
ment Of the United States Court of
Appeals in the suit brought by the
Louisville and Nashville railroad COM
pany against Marcus K. Bitterman and
two other New Orleans ticket brokers. |
This injunction prohibits the three
brokers from buying, selling, dealing
in, or soliciting the sale or purchase
of any tickets or return coupons is
sued for use over the Louisville and
Nashville railroad"
Thirty two suits in the federal and
state courts of Chicago are affected
by the decision. OF these seventeen
have been decided by Judge Kohlsaat
of the United States circuit court in
favor of the railroads, but the judg-
ments entered were held in allegiance
pending the decision of the supreme
court in the Bitterman case. An
nouncement of these judgments now
each of these tally with those in the
Bitterman case, there is no use in the
brokers taking an appeal.
Fight Long and Bitter One.
The fight TO Gust the ticket brokers
has been a long and bitter one. In
most cities the brokers banded together
and secured the services of eminent
lawyers. Their chief contention was
that, while the railroads might seek
to enjoin the brokers from dealing in
the tickets issued for some particular
event, such as a G. A. r. reunion or
state fair. no general injunction
against transferable tickets should
be issued.
Every cut rate ticket is in the form
of a contract between the purchaser
and the road. The purchaser signs his
name to the ticket, and it is stipulated
/ that no other than he may use it. It
money is to be made
4 One argument put up by the brokers
/ was that their business has proved
/ beneficial to the public. and that form
| eTly the railroads had aided them. In
the day when few cut rate or excur-
sion tickets were sold many Of the
weaker lines did foster the business
/ of ticket scalping. The developments
of the business, in many cases. how
ever, have been far from legitimate,
and charges have been made that, be-
sides forgery, various devices have
been used TO validate tickets illegally.

Considering the progress made in
Germany during the last two decades
in all matters of commerce and in

the system of making and receiving

OLD RAILROAD
EMPLOYE KILLED
One of Best Known Trainmen on
Texas Line Crushed to Death
Between Two Cars.

Ell Paso, Texas, Aug. 24-William
W. Reed, yardmaster for the Calves
ton, Houston and San Angelo Railroad
at Sanderson and one of the old
school of Ell Paso railroad men, was
caught between two box cars in the
Sanderson yards at 5 o'clock yester-
day afternoon and crushed so badly
that he died shortly afterward on
board of a special that was bringing
him to Ell Paso for surgical attention.
William w. Reed has been connec.
ted with the Galveston, Houston and
San Angelo Railroad almost from
the time it was built into El Paso.
His first position was in the car re-
pairing department here and later
he took a place as brakeman on the
eastern division. He was then ap'
pointed yardmaster at Sanderson,
which place he held until he met his
death in the performance of his du
ties.

DEMENTED INDIAN
. TAKEN TO ASYLUM
Necessary for Officers to Resort to
Force to Remove Crazy Woman
From Taos Pueblo.

A crazy Indian woman, wife of Pc
dro s. Espinosa, a Taos Pueblo Indian,
was brought to the city last evening
by Sheriff Donaciano Graham, of Taos,
and his deputy, David Martinez, and
taken to the Territorial insane asylum
at Las Vegas this forenoon. There
was considerable trouble in this case
The Indians still stick to their old
traditions and ingnorant superstitions
in cases where crazy people are con-
cerned. The Taos Pueblos were very
much averse to allowing this devil
woman" as they called her to be
taken to the Insane Asylum.
DR.. T. P Martin, the Pueblo Indian
physician, after carefully examining
the woman and finding her in de-
mented condition, recommended that
she be sent to the asylum and was
instructed by Superintendent Crandall
to send her there. The Indians de-
murred and would not allow DR.. Mar
tin to carry out the instructions.
Thereupon, Superintendent Crandall
requested Sheriff Graham to take
charge of the woman and conduct her
to the asylum. The majesty OF the
law, as represented by the sheriff and
several deputies was too much for
the Governor and other officials OF
the Pueblos, and they made no more
interference.
DR.. Martin is of the opinion that the
woman is beyond recovery.
