PASS QUESTION IS
TAKEN UP ONCE MORE
Interstate Commerce Com
mission to Prosecute Rail
ways Giving Free Rides.
BY International News Service.

BY International News Service.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9-Every rail
road in the United States that issues
free transportation Will be prosecuted
bt the interstate commerce commission
An order notifying all railroads 20 ap-
pear before that body and give evl-
dence on this point was sent out to-
dav.
So many complaints have been made
about violations of the law prohibit
ing free transportation shat the com.
mission upon its own initiative decided
TO institute an investigation. The
chief difference of opinion between the
commission and the railroads lies in
the Interpretation of the law. Under
5hc interstate commerce statute both
those who give and those who receive
free transportation are made liable TO
fines of not less than 500 nor more
than $1,000 for each offenSe.
1t has been brought to the attention
Of the commission that nearly every
railroad in the country has been very
generous to its friends in respect to
free transportation. II some one Of
sufficient Importance desired pass It
was given TO him as IAN attorney,
" contractor or 'member Of an en-
ployee family when the favored
ones were not members Of families.
Passes were also issued 10 contractors
who did business with the railroad com.
panies. Passes are also presented to
F'railroad officials - In many in
stances socaIled railroad officials were
owners of railroads two or three miles
long used in logging operations by the
concerns which sold ties TO the rail
roads. These men travel all over the
country without paying a cent.
The consideration received hy tho
roads is not disclosed in the com.
plants, but II is assumed by the com
mission that it was something Of value

NEW YORK, Aug. 2a-Republican
National Chairman Hilles denied the
implication that any trade had been
agreed upon in Pennsylvania between
the republicans and the Washington
party, Hilles conceded that of the 36
electors nominated in Pennsylvania,
at least 90 were for Roosevelt. He
said his understanding was that the
bull moosers had agreed to withdraw
from the ticket and put their own
ticket in the field by petition. The
chairman said that he thought this
would give the state offices to the
Roosevelt men but would insure Taft
the electoral vote.
