It FAVOR ANTI-SCALPING BI LL Action of the Railway Men at Special Seasion Held Today. The Association Proposes to Secure Concerted Action in Favor of the Measure. A special meeting of the American Asso- ciation of General Passenger and Ticket Agents convened at the Arlington Hotel this morning. Mr. William A. Turk, gen- eral passenger agent of the Southern Rail- way Company, called the meeting to order, and there was a large attendance of the members of the body. As a rule this asso- ciation does not meet but once a year, but the “anti-scalping bill,” which is now pend- ing before the Congress of the United States, is the cause of this extra session. The convention adjourned at 11:30 o'clock, after a committee had been appointed to Prepare certain resolutions on the subject of ticket scalping, which are to be present- ed to Congress. Mr. William A. Turk, general passenger agent of the Southern Railway and presi- dent of the association, when spoken to on the subject today, said that although the committee having the matter in charge had reported to Congress favorably on the passage of the anti-scalping bill, at the same time, it was rumored that the rail- roads throughout the country were not working in conjunction in the matter. so he decided, at the request of about thirty bers of the General Passenger and Ticket Agents’ Association, to call a spe- cial meeting so that definite action might be taken by the entire body in the matter. Standard Paper to Be Used. “It is the intention of the association,” said Mr. Turk, “to arrange, if possible, that all railroad companies shall print their tickets upon a standard paper, which will render impossible any altering, effacing or forging of names to contracts on the tick- ets. An interline contract will probably be arranged so that the conditions on the Uckets will read the same on all railroads. The officers of the association are: Will- iam A. Turk of the Southern Railway Com- pany, president; Charles S. Fea of the Northern Pacific Railway Company, vice president; A. J. Smith of the Lake Shore, Michigan and Southern Railway Company, secretary; John Sebastian, Charles S. Li George DeHaven, D. Z. Edwards, C. more, A. C. Kendall and George T. ) Son, executive committee. A large number of members are in at- tendance, among whom are John Sebas- tian of the Rock Island; A. J. Smith of the L. 8. and M. S.: T. W. Teasdale of the Chi- cago, St. Paul, Minnesota and Omaha; J. R. Wood of the Pennsylvania system; H. C. Townsend of the Missouri Pacific; J. G. Sehriever of the Southern Pacific; W. R. Babcock of the New York and New Eng- land; James Barker of the Missouri, Kan- sas and Texas: H. P. Baldwin, Central Railroad of New Jersey: C. F. Daly, Lake Erie and Western; George H.

Copies of the “declaration of sentiment: of the Seneca Falls convention of 1848 are being given out at the convention. Follow- ing are extracts: “The histcry of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usuryations on the part of man toward woman, havirg in di- rect object the establishmeut of an abso- lute tyrrany over her. To preve this, let facts be submitted to a candid werid. “He has never permitted her to exercise ee inalienable right to the elective fran- e Patten, s. e. “He has compelted her to submit to laws in the formation of which ste had no voice. “He has withheld from her rights which are given to the most igncraat and degrad- ed men—both natives and foreigners. “Having deprived her of this first right of a citizen, the eleciive franchise, thereby leaving her without representation in the halls of legislation, he nas oppresse! her on all sides. “He has made her, if married, in the eye of the law, civilly dead. “He has taken from her all right in prop- erty, even to the wages she earns. “He has made her, morally, an irrespon- sible being, as she can commit many crimes with impunity, provided they be Gone in the presence of her husband. In the covenant of marriage, snc is compelled to promise obedience to her husband, he becoming, to all intents aud purposes, her master—the law giving him power to de- prive her of her liberty, and to adminis.er astisement. ‘He has so framed the laws of divorce, as to what shall be the proper causes of divorce; in case cf separation, to whom the guardianship of the children shall be given: as to be wholly regardless of the happiness of women—the law, in all cases, going upon a false supposition of the su- premacy of man, and giving all power into his haads. “After depriving her of all rights as a married woman, if single and the owner of property, he has taxed her to suport a gov- ernment which recognizes her only when her property can be made profitable to ft. “He has monoplized nearly all the profit- able employments, and from those she is Permitted to follow she receives but a scanty remuneration. “He closes against her all the avenues to wealth and distinction, which he con- siders most honorable to himself. As a teacher of theology, medicine or law she is not known. “He has denied her the facilities for ob- taining a thorough education—all colleges being closed against her. “He allows her in church, as well as state, but a subordinate position, claiming apostolic authority for her exclusion from the ministry, and, with some exceptions, from any public participation in the af- fairs of the church. “He has created a false public sentiment by giving to the world a different code of morals for men snd women, by which moral delinquencies which exclude women from sSciety are not only tolerated but deemed of little acccunt in man. “He has usurped the prerogative of Jehovah himself, claiming it as his right to assign for her a sphere of action, when that belongs to her conscience and to her God. “He has endeavored in every way that he could to destroy her confidence in ner own powers, to lessen her self-respect, and to make her willing to lead a dependent and a t life. ‘Now, in view of this entire disfranchise- ment of one-half the people of this coun- try, their social and religious degradation— in view of the unjust laws above mention- ed, and because women do feel themselves aggrieved, oppressed and fraudulently de- prived of their most sacred right sist that they have immediate admission to all the rights and privileges which b long to them as citizens of the United State: The Opening Religious Service. ‘The religious service was held yesterday afterroon at 3 o'clock at the Columbia Theater. The housé was nearly all filled before the service began, and great inter- est was manifested in the service. The service was presided over by Miss Susan B. Anthony. She explained it was difficult for her to determine whether a con- vention like that meeting should begin hke a Quaker meeting or a‘ Presbyterian serv- Her idea was that it should favor both. The meeting was opened with prayer and the singing of the hymn “Old and New.” Guelma McLean Baker rendered a vocal solo. Rev. Avna Howard Shaw preached the sermon, the scriptural groundwork of which was “One shall chase a thousand and two put ten thousand to flight.” Her subject, she said, was the power of organi- zation. The address treated of the growth of conviction among the first suffragists. Reference was made to the first convention at Seneca Falls, N. Y., in July, 1848. The Duty of Women. z Miss Anthony stated that when the report went forth that the convention had been held the world laughed and asked careless questions corcerning it. Comments were made by the press. The women who brought forward that faith have lived their day, she asserted. They made their fight. Their fol- lowers were there today, not merely to do reverence to their memories. They left a message, which was that the fruits are ripe for the harvest. Their duty, she sald, was not to fight and di, but to live and work. They were not the ones, she declared, nor yet the two who shall put ten thousand to flight. Instead they are the thousands who are to go forth and bring the millions to their ald and support. The boxes were filled with many of the more prominent delegates and their friends. Leaders of the movement seats on the stage about Miss Anthony. The theater was decorated for the occasion. with the emblem of the order.

The table is an old-fashioned round mahogany affair, massive and solid. It has been for nearly a century the prop- erty of the McClintocks of Waterloo, N, Y, a town just three miles from Seneca Falls. In the spring of 1848, after the return of Mrs. Mott from London, where she aie urned from the convention to whic! coe kel been accredited, simply because she had been a woman, she visited Mrs. Eliza- beth Cady Stanton at Seneca Falls. Mrs. Mott, Quakeress though she was, was filled with incignation at her treatment and after talking the matter over with Mrs. Stanton and Mary Ann McClintock, the three con- cluded to call a convention of their own. The five public spirited women, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Martha C. Wright, Mary. Ann McClintock and Jane Cc. Hunt, signed the call. This call was written on this old table, old even then, and sent out to the world. It was the first conventien ever called to discuss the civil and political rights of women, and startled the world with its boldness. This table has remained in the McClin- tock family ever since. Elizabeth, the last survivor of the family, died recently, and bequeathed the table to Miss Anthony, She brought it to Washington for this the golden jubilee, the anniversary of the issuing of the call.
