FREE PASS CHARGE BROUGHT
 AGAINST TWO RAILROADS.
Louisville 6 Nashville, and Nashville,
 Chattanooga & St. Louis Roads.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Senator Lea of Tennessee petitioned the interstate commerce commission today to invest igate charges that the Louisville and Nashville and Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis roads, furnish free pass es to Tennessee public officials ito seduCe and corrupt" them in violation of the interstate commerce act.
 The petition refers to the commits Sion'S inveStiEation several months ago into practices of the two roads and says that all the unlawful and corrupt practices" which the commission found they had pursued still are being per- sisted in.
 This" says the petition. 'fs par ticularly true with reference to the free pass abuses"
 Included in the petition is a portion of one of the commissions reports set ting forth that the value of the actual aggregate travel on free passes over the two roads amounts to hundreds oi thousands of dollars.
 Said free passes" declared the pe- tition ''are being furnished by the two respondent railroads to the amount of hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to persons who use the same in making interstate journeys within the limits of the state of Tennessee and other states, when such persons are public officials holding positions of honor and trust in said states or the kindred and friends of such officials whom said respondents hope to seduce and corrupt to the advantage of re- spondents.'
 The senator charges that passes are granted for interstate as well as in trastate journeys and says he has
 reason to believe that important and | influential shippers and other patrons | of the two carriers have received the l same sort of fayors He declares this | results in unjust discrimination and | prejudice to passengers who pay the | full fare and argues that if the passes | were cut off the net cost of service | would be less and rates could be low l cred.
 The petition. Senator Lea says, is | filed on his own behalf as a citizen of | Tennessee and on behalf of all of the | people of Tennessee. It is signed also | by Nashville attorneys.

replacing

The completion of replacing West Main street has left all the ap- breaches to the city. with the excep- tion of Jackson street, in good pre- sental,le shape. The work. which was authorized by a special meeting of the electors, who appropriated two thous- and dollars for the purpose some months ago, has consisted of giving the roadway a coating of gravel, press ed down by the roller. and the road rounded up where necessary. The work was done inside the appropriation, and while it is possible that a small amount of repair work may be needed at the upper end of the street in the spring, the road is practically complet- ed. Superintendent Sumner has done excellent work on the city streets this year. The street committee has been most efficient and gives much time to their work.
