LAWYER ARRESTED IN e.. & ..
PASS FRAUD,

w. F. Denny, Richmond colOred
lawyer has waived hearing before
the United States Commissioner and
has been balled for his appearance
before the United States district
court next month on charges of
consp racy in connection with the
alleged wholesale issuance of passes
on the Chesapeake and Ohio railway
by Alfred Chapman, former pass
bureau head Of the railroad.
The arrest Of Denny makes the
fourth announced to date. T. D.
Lee. colored preacher Of Norfolk was
arrested shortly after Chapman. Both
Lee and Chapman waived prelimin-
airy hearings and are to appear be-
fore the October term of the court.
Another colored man in Richmond
has been arrested, but his name has
not been disclosed.
1t is believed that a number Of
,colored people in Richmond are in
volved in the case and Federal
agents expect the eventual arrest OF
more than fifty who are said to have
purchased passes illegally issued by
Chapman. IT is regarded as likely
that arrests in other Virginia cities

THE PASS SCANDAL.

Alfred Chapman, chief Of the pass
bureau Of the C. & o. r. R., was
arrested September 18th in connec-
ton with the biggest pass scandal
ever uncovered in Richmond. In one
deal $1,000 was paid for passes. He
was charged with violating the Fed
eral statute Of issuing passes to per-
sons not entitled to use them. 1t is
alleged that this practice has been
going on for years. The specific case
was that of the session of Grand
Lodge of |. B. P. o. of Elks of the
World, which met recently at Chi
cago.
1t was necessary to add another
coach on account of the crowd, and
the conductor found only five regu-
lar tickets in the entire coach. Names
were furnished and these persons
were entered up as "rev." and for
charity" These passes are said to
have been purchased for about $40
each OF less than half of the regular
fare to the Grand Lodge. Those per-
sons who sold these passes and those
who purchased them are now under
the surveillance Of the Federal Of
fcers.
Chapman is in Jail and his bond
is $4,000. One female has been ar
rested. Her bond is $4,000. Rev.
James S. Hatcher, of Roanoke, was
also arrested, and he was released
on bond of $4,000. They were all
required to appear at the October
term of the grand jury of the United
States District Court here. The G.
& o. people announce that they will
proceed in the matter after the Fed
eral authorities are through. EN-
ployees of the company who sold
their passes had their pay withheld
on the last payday.
Others had regular passes. Some
of those in possession of the passes
got uneasy and purchased regular
tickets after they had left Richmond.
Wholesale arrests are threatened of
both those who sold the tickets and
those who purchased them. The pun
is said to be fine or impris-
onment or both.
All colored persons declare limo
cence.

It has been common saying among
white southerners that whenever
northerners attempt to deal with
the Negro question in the Southland,
they almost invariably make mess

fed in the case of Hon. George L.
Sheldon, former Governor Of Ne

residing within the State, which had
rewarded him with high office, He
preferred to occupy the southern
designation of "carpet-bagger' and
he moved into Perry w. Howards

for him and the rest Of tho able col
