D. C. CAR TOKENS USED

Special Dispatch to The Star.


BALTIMORE, January 2I.-That
many Baltimoreans are defrauding
the United Railways and Electric
Company by purchasing Washington
street railway checks at lower
rice and using them in Baltimore is
the belief of Luke Ellis, service en-
sineer of the public service commits
sion.
Mr. Ellis said he had received re-
ports showing the number of Wash
.ngton car checks in use in Baltimore
S increasing daily. The other day a
man complained to Ellis because he
lad received Washington car checks
instead of Baltimore checks from q
conductor. The man argued that the
Washington checks were sold in
Washington at six for 40 cents.
whereas in Baltimore they were sold
at the straight rate Of cents apiece.
Commenting on the situation, Ellis said:
1T is beginning TO be "a serious
proposition. for, l believe. people get
their friends to buy checks in Wash
.ngton and bring them over. A per-
son using Il large number of them
would save an appreciable sum"
