CANCELLATION OF TARIFFS RESPONSIBLE Cnac IM Ilcmilt of Boycott Aftnlimt Plttfifoure fc Giilf Severn ! AVeeka ABO Belief General that In junction "Will He Granted. The celebrated boycott which was declared by a number of railroads , members of the Western Trunk Line committee nnd the Southwestern Freight committee , against the Kansas City , Plttsburg & Gulf because of its stand for a differential by which It was carrying freight shipments via water route from Now York to the gulf and thence to Missouri river points cheaper than nil- rail llnee could handle the business , Is now having a hearing before Judge Thayer in the Unltod States circuit court In St. Louis. It will be remembered that this boycott was declared against the Gulf line several weeks ago by a number of connecting lines , and because of Us Interference with the business of the "boycotted" road an In junction was Issued by the United States court compelling the lines to continue trafllc relations with the Gulf line until the caaa should be decided in the courts. Receiver S. W. Fordyco of the Gulf line agreed to submit the differences over the differential on rates from the seaboard to the Missouri river and other points touched by the Gulf line to an arbitration committee , but the roads balked on this proposition nnd started In on an aggressive campaign by cancelling all traffic relations with the Gulf. Then the temporary Injunction was asked for and granted. It is believed that the Injunction will be made permanent and that the railroads which started In to boycott the Gulf will capitulate In accordance with directions from the United States court. Gulf' line officials will show during the trial of the case that unless the injunction Is made per manent the attitude of the lines participa ting In the boycott will seriously affect many commercial Interests along the Pitta- burg & Gulf road. This will bo especially true regarding the lumber trafllc. There are 140 mills along the line of the Plttsburg & Gulf and fully 90 per cent are local. Tak ing the proportion of the through rate that would accrue to the Plttsburg & Gulf under the present through tariffs na the basis to the various junction polntn and add the local beyond , the lumber Interests would be handicapped to the extent of from 4 to 15 cents per 100 pounds , and In order to meet U would have to reduce the price below the cost of production. This would ultimately result In the closing of the mills. SOALI'UUS TIIIIIVIO IN CHICAGO. Clone Relation Salil to IJxUt Ilelvreeu IlroUrm anil IlnllronilH. RoporU come from Chicago stating that that city is just now Infested with moro ticket "scalpers" than at any time for a long period. It la estimated that there are at least fifty , all of whom are doing a thriv ing business. Tickets to Omaha , Kansas City , St. Paul , New York or almost any eastern or western point can ba secured from the brokere r.t a good discount. Strangers do not find It such un easy matter to procure these cut-rate tickets , because of the recent tests madeby detectives of the various passenger associations , but those who are "on to the ropes" seem to nave no difficulty in securing these tickets , A Chicago scalper U reported as saying : "We have lost all fear of antl-scalplng legislation. In view of the deala that we now bavo with the railroads centering In Chicago I do not see how their officers can go to congress and lay we should b abol- 200 jackets , agea 4 to 14 , that wcro bought to sell for $2.00 , will bo on ealo Saturday morning at 8 o'clock for 75 cents. 200 jackets , ages 4 to 14 , In fancy mix tures , In boucles and friezes , blues , reds , grays and tans , bought to sell at $3.00 , at $1.59. 300 children's jackets , with or without sailor collars , In heavy mixtures and plain goods , nicely trimmed , with braid , bought to sell for $4.50 , on sale at $2.98. 295 children's jackets , In plain kerseys , blues , cadets , rods , browns and greens ; also 100 jackets In fancy mixtures , bought to sail for $6.50 , on sale at $3.98 each. 200 children's jackets , with sailor collar , trimmed with fur , very pretty garments for the little tots , bought to sell for $8.50 , on sale at $5.00. We defy competition on the above garments. Your money back If they are not satisfactory. INFANTS' EIDERDOWN CLOAKS. Nicely made , trimmed with thlbet , bought to sell nt $1.50 , at only 69c. 200 chllron'a eiderdown cloaks. In grays , pinks , cardinals , bluea and browns , bought to sell for $2.00 , on sale nt 98e. Ishcd. If the railroads unite to stop ticket scalping we could not keep our doors open longer than thirty days. We stay because the railroads want us to , because they have use for us. Wo are willing to soli their tickets so long as they pay us com missions or make It possible for us to deal in tickets at less thnn the regular rates. " In Omaha any close relationship existing between the brokers and the railroads Is strenuously denied by both the scalpers and the roads. A llttlo Instance of the devious plans of the brokers came to light in the Blkhorn passenger office this morning , when Chief Clerk Munn showed the return portion tion of a ticket , good from Omaha to York. It had originally been made out good for passage until September 17. The broker who purchased it found it "dead" on fain hands on the 17th and immediately proceeded to raise the date of limit to the 20th. The ticket thus raised was disposed of , but the "doc toring" which It had undergone was not clev erly executed and was detected by the con ductor , who took up the ticket and demanded laro from the passenger holding it. MAKI2 DKXIAt , OF A CONSPIRACY. Juiltjc Thnyer Taken U the Gulf Iloycott Cane. ST. LOUIS , Sept. 22. Judge Amos M. Thayer of the United States circuit court has given a hearing In chambers in the injunction proceedings brought by the Kan sas City , Plttsburg & Gulf railway against numerous other railroads entering Kansas City to prevent an alleged boycott upon the former. A further hearing will bo had next Wednesday , when Judge Thayer will probably render his decision In the case. J. McD. Trimble and Frank Hogermon , both of Kansas City , appeared In company with Colonel S. W. Fordyce for the receiv ers of the Kansas City , Plttsburg & Gulf , tbo defendant companies being represented as follows ; Judge 0. M. Spencer for the Burlington system ; M. A.

Clardy and Alexander O. Cochran , the Missouri Pa cific and connecting lines , and George P. B. Jackson and James Hagcrman for the Mis souri , Kansas & Texas , which Is not made a defendant In this case , but which Is In terested In the matter through other pro ceedings. All the roads named , through their rep resentatives , presented briefs and arguments showing their sides of the controversy , each asserting and claiming that each never en tered Into any agreement whatsoever to boycott the Kansas City , Plttaburg & Gulf railway.
