GOULDS OVERRULED.
Other Items Of General Interest
in Traffic World.

one of the most inexplicable arrange
ments in connection with the express
business of the United States, and one
PROBABLY disclosing an unexpected sit
uat1on, is that existing between the
principal Gould railroads and the Wells
Fargo & Co. Express. Beginning July /,
the Wells Fargo & Co. Express will dis
place the Pacific Express company on
the Missouri Pacific, the ST. Louis, Iron
Mountain & Southern, the Texas & Pa
cific and the Wabash.
The significance of this understand
ing can only be realized when it is con-
sidered the Wells Fargo & Co. Express
is controlled, according to common in
formation, by the Hartman and Rock
efeller interests, while the Pacific is
dominated by the Gould lines.
The Missouri Pacific, it is understood,
holds 40 per cent of the Pacific Express
stock and the Wabash 20 per cent,
making 60 per cent for these two Gould
lines The remaining 40 per cent of the
The Gould and Hartman lines own the
Pacific Express, control resting with
the Gould railroads
The announcement that the Wells
Fargo & Co. Express would in July
supersede the Pacific Express on the
Missouri Pacific. the Iron Mountain,
the Wabash and the Texas & Pacific,
caused the utmost surprise in railroad
circles. Although it was surmised the
Wells Fargo & Co. Express had ac-
quired control of the Pacific Express.
the explanation given was that the
Wells Fargo concern had obtained the
contract with the Gould lines by virtue
of strenuous competition.

Not long ago the Santa Fe En-

NEW TICKET AGENT TRICK.
How SHADOW Game" Is PractIced
Over the Country.


New York, May 22.-The station
was deserted but for one man who
seemed absorbed in a newspaper, says
the Sun. The ticket agent was appar-
entity thinking of things far away as
he deity juggled coins on the glass
plate under the bars of his cage.
The next morning the man with the
newspaper was seeming to read it in
another station and the ticket agent
of the day before was hunting job.
He had been summari1y dismissed
The man with newspaper was
detective. The ticket agent had been
practfcing to win facility in working
the shadow game, hence his dismissal.
What's the shadow game? A new
trick said to have originated in the
brain of a Boston subway ticket seller
and to have been taught to the other
ticket sellers over the country, and
this is how it is worked:
The ticket agent arranges a strip
Of cardboard or black paper so that
it leaves the space directly under the
casts q deep shadow upon the plate
Just to the left. Then he practices
till he acquires sufficient dexterity to
pass out half a dozen coins; make
one of them stop well over under
the shadow and bunch the others I'M
der the bright light.
About one person in four will fail
to see the nickel or dime in the shad-
ow. and in his haste to get a train
will not miss it till it is too late to
return. If he does come back the
coin is there for him to pick up and
he sees no cause to complain. If he
does not return the ticket seller adds
one more coin to his income.
Some men are said to be SO adept

FOR HEAVY JUNE BUSINESS.
Rush of Travel Due on Western
Railroads.

Lincoln, Neb., May 22.-Railroad
men are looking forward to the
month of June with considerable in
terest because the annual bulge in
passenger business is due them. To
care for it western roads are now re-
vising their time cards, adding SER
vice and getting ready for heavier
business later on. Nearly all western
roads will put their summer sched-
ules in force on May %, and rates
then in effect and soon after to be
made effective are expected to fill
their trains.
In June most of the colleges and
universities end their terms. The
movement of students and school
people, going to their homes and to
their vacation fields, would mean a
bulge in business without the usual
vacation business, but when to both
these is added the movements to
conventions east and west the vol
ume sometimes adds a heavy strain
on the passenger carrying capacity
Of some western roads.
Passenger traffic has kept nearer
the record of recent years this spring
than has freight business, the slack
ness of the iron and steel trade af-
fecting the latter to considerable
degree, but not affecting, so far as
can be seen, the passenger move
ments.

When the agent asked why he
thought this was necessary, the
president said:
eff we didn't use every paper,
those we left off the list would
Immediately denounce and criti-
else u.s."
The idea of giving advertis-
ing to newspapers to STOP
CRITICISM is absurd in these
enlightened days. Newspapers
criticise things that deserve
criticism, AS A MATTER OF
DUTY to the public-not be-
cause they do not get advertis-
ing from the firms they criti-
else.
If a corporation starts to adj
vertise with the idea that by
doing SO, it Restraints PA
PIERS FROM PUBLISHING
FACTS about it, then it had
better not advertise at all.
But if it wants to advertise,
the way to do it is to go at it in
a BUSINESS-LIKE MANNER,
just as any Individual or mer-
chant would go at it-viz., Sc
ILECT SUCH PAPERS AS ARE
READ BY THE PEOPLE THE
CORPORATIONS WANTS TO
REACH and in accordance with
the amount it is decided to
spend.
Then, if the campaign proves
successful, add other papers
from time to time.
If I were running a corpora
ton, I would REPRINT EVERY
CRITICISM IN AN ADVER..
TISEMENT, and alongside OF
the criticism I would PRINT
MY ANSWER THERETO; then
let the people judge.
The people can be depended
upon to decide fairly between
unjust criticism and facts-and
corporations can reach the PEG
pie through the advertising col
umns of the daily newspapers.

Pueblo accepting the Pueblo offer of q
bonus of 0,000, the team to be moved
to that city Immediately. There Ii no
other explanation for the situation
than that the town is unable to sup
port a Western league team and the
citizens do not care to assume the cost
of keeping the club here. Several
loyal fans pledged themselves for all
the money they could raise, but 1t was
insufficient.
Though Wichita fans regret to lose
Frank Isbe1l and his team, they never
theless unanimously affirm that the
former White Sox star is a good TEL

enough ground on which to base this
feeling. He could have claimed the
$4,000 option money which Arthur
Pauline had put up on the strength OF
securing $4,000 more by Saturday
night. But Isbe1l did not claim 1t. He
gave the check to Outf1elder Belden,
saying, ''Tear it up, Pauline Is too nne
a fellow to lose that money. Belden
tore the check to pieces.

persons having purchased boxes for the
