A Special Meeting of the Body Yestevday Afternoqn The Anti-Scalpers Bill ' dorsed The Government to BeTrged to Balltl m Stone Pier In Front of the Cus tom House . ' j-''" t ;' - j , .. The chamber of commerce teld a called meeting yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. President Chad'bourn pre sided, and Colonel Jno. I Cantwell the secretary, .was at his post. -After the meeting had foeen called to order. President Chadbourn stated that the chamlber had been convened to con sider several, matters, one of which was j the propriety of endorsing the Sherman anti-scalping' bill now before congress. President Chad'bourn stated that it 'was well known, that the busi ness of the ticket scalpers was detri mental to-the railroads and was injur ious to cities. He said it even operated' against the Wilmington Seacoast rail road in the sale of excuraSon tickets to trie seaside. He said he was irfeavor of "endorsing thei !brill now before con gress, and' read a list of commercial 'bodies in INew York and. other large cities endorsing the 'bill. Among the organizations ; wriioh endorsed ; it was the Travelers' ' Protective' lAssociation.. 'He iihformed ; the chamber j that the Inter-State Commerce Commission had sent; the matter here and asfced that the chamber express Hs views upon it. He then offered ; the following res olu tjons: "i ' "j" ; - ; ; ' Whereas, Ticket scalpingy ibusiness turrtishes an incentive to fraud anii, false impersonation and provides in strumentalities which; have in certain: cases been used for floating counter feit 1 railroad tickets, which constitute a serious tax upon the railroads; and s "Whereas, ;The QfRces of many ticket; scalpers havej been used os an outlet for railroad tickets fraudulently or dishbnestly procured; and M ' i Whereas, It isf proper that the rail roads and the; general public .should 'be; protected in their rights, -and the in nocent should be protected against fraud and the incentive to fraud'; and Whereas, Without such - protection provided hy suita'ble legislation, " the railrpads are dbliged, in self-defense, to observe rules in the making of rates and th .issuance! of tickets which are leSs liberal to the jnercantile business than' they would; otherwise !be ready to- adopt; and ! : . Whereas, The aesire of the railroad companies to pale excursion rates to -trade centres is greatly hindered by the. existence of the scalpers which, if they Were out of the Way, would enable the transportation; lines to' off eri ' induce ments that would attract the people to attend conventions, fairs, exposi tions; now, therefore, be it j : j , Resolved, That -the Chamber of Com merce of the city bf . Wilmington, !N. C, approves the antiTScalping bill now, pending in congress! t i i - "Mr. '. Fy IZelth asked j why this chamber was called on to endorse 'the. -bill,- and why the business of ticket scalpers was. notidegitimate. ' He said he could not see how the business of the scalpers affected' the railroads. They sold the tickets and got their -money for them iartd it ---- not . seem to him that it mattered to them who rode on the tickets. ; ; 1 : President Chadbourn explained how the ticket brokers took advantage of excursion rates, to get hold of tickets' and sell them: to persons j who other wise would purchase regular tickets. This operated . against cities, as it was almost impossible to get the j railroads to give reduced rates to -cities because the ticket, scalpers came in and took advantage of ithe! opportunity to scalp tickets. A I ' . . ; i 1 j ' . ; ' Colonel F. W, Kerchner also explain ed the in justice, done to railroads, and Mr. B. F. King said he took the same view that. Mr. j Keith did. 'i Messrs. H, B. Smaltbones and D. L. Gore advocated the endorsement of the anti-scalpers bilU jand after the matter had 'beerj discussed j several times . by each. of the speakers, the resolutions offered by Mr.Chadbourn were adopted. Mrj W. M. Cumming called ! attention to ' the fact triat! Collier's j Weekly, 'of New) York, recently; pu'blished an il lustrated articlel-jwith a stragetic map "of, the fortWCaiions. on . the seaboard, giving the depth of harbors and rivers. In this article h!e noticed that' .trie depth on the Cape Fear bar was put down as only fourteen feet; and no fortifications were mentioned,! whereas there is a 'depth bf eighteen feet and substantial, fortifications hav been "re cently completed "by trie government. On motion of Mr. Cumming a copy of Collier's Weekly was ordered . to be forwarded to Catajn W, 13. Craighiil, chief of the engineer corps, calling rits attention to the article in the Weekly. Mr. Geo. L. Morton stated that a government' superintendent of construe tion !was here to make plans and speci- front Of the custom house. ; Mr.Mor1 ton called attention to the fact: 'that the government had expended $250,000 in constructing a stone pier and wharf at Charleston anj he-thought f proper steps were taken T an apprOpriat ion might be secured for the consfryc.tou of alstona pier berej!' H mv& that a committee 'be 'appointed to use its in flunenee In securing an appropriation to construct a stone pier here. Trie following (communication f rorrr the 'board of county commiss04erjji was read: A ' i' . . . A ' ' ' "Whereas, This; .hoard has learned that! the government of '. the , Unlte States has in contemplation'; the re-.' building of its wharf on the river anVL 'believing that with proper effort the government con j be induced : to .ouna, the 4ame with stone, rather thaa wood, which if done, would probaJbly induce others to build their wharves o!f stone, !be It resolved that the chairman of itihis Toard 'be and is hereby requested to appear ,bef ore ! the chamber of com merce and other 'commercial (bodies of; the city of Wilmington and endeavor to induce them, to petition our repre-' sentatlves in congress to i use ever ef fort to Induce the government to build and i appropriate an amount sufficient to ibuild said wharf of stone.
