with one accord attached a very
broad interpretation to the act,
and it is thought the general mana-
gers of the differant Texas lines
will each within a few days, per-
haps Saturday, issue orders which
will greatly restrict the issuance
of passes. In fact it is said that
the limn who can secure a pass
after the law goes into effect will
bo entitled to be known as a

passes will bo restricted to bona

ed, the men who passed the law
