Yet the Traction Company Arrests Seven
Men for Hanging on the Bumpers.
The Citizens Traction Company made q
strange move yesterday morning in An effort
to break up the practice of stealing rides
Seven men and boys were arrested for
hanging on the rail of the rear platform and
standing on the bumpers. The men were
taken to the Seventeenth ward police sta
tion in patrol wagon. In the hearing the
defendants proved that they were going to
work and had paid their fare. Not being
able to get . seat, or even standing room in
the car or on the platform, they were
obliged to hang on to the bumpers. Judge
Leslie, after hearing the evidence, dis
charged the prisoners, and condemned the
Traction Company in strong language. He
said there was no evidence against the men
and the arrest was an outrage. He warned
the street car companies to be more careful
in the future about ordering arrestA
The citizens in Lawrenceville were highly
indignant over the action of the compacy,
and expressed their opinions in language
that was not very complimentary to the

But that is how he did feel, and he de-
termined to ascertain for himself by actu-
al personal investigation. AS a result of
his experience he has withdrawn his an
nual subscriptions from most of the socie-
ties, and Is now engaged in doing good In
his own way.
Mr.. Dryers method for ascertaining
how the so called charitable" organiza-
tions were conducted WINS novel and in
keeping with the great business perspicac-
ity which has brought him wealth. When
a poor person recently applied to him for
relief, and stated that the societies either
could not or would not afford the desired
aid, the banker disguised himself as a pau
per, went to several of the charity" offices
and asked for succor.
Tit replies varied only as to the actual
form OF the declination; the practical re-
suit was the same in every case. In one
instance an official drawing a fat salary
out of the contributions, intended for Just
such as the applicant was supposed to be,
ordered him to get OUT When positive
refusals were not given there was so much
"red tape" with the consequent DELAY
preliminary to the rendering of help, that a
person might easily nave starved to death
before aid could be obtained, even IL it
CHANGED to be granted eventually. One
such case actually came under Mr..
| bItlGIh ODstTN hIlOn.
The banker also asserts that women,
dressed in silks and satins, go about the
city of Chicago soliciting charity with
great perseverance. Their zeal is easily
explained by Mr.. Dreyer's discovery that
they receive a stated commission for this
work, and that many of them manage to
make it yield a goodly income. Naturally,
after sitting through the hands of a few
'philanthropists" of this type, the amount
of money originally subscribed has shrunk
considerably when it reaches the nominal
beneficiaries.
As a result of his observations Banker
Dreyer wants the charitable societies of
Chicago, which are supported by sub
scription either in whole or in part, to be
investigated. He wishes TO get together a
committee of rich men who can afford to
devote the necessary time to the matter.
By means Of personal applications in dis
guise for charity and other devices these
gentlemen will be enabled, it is believed,
to announce to the public the names of
those societies which are worthy Of sup-
port. This plan is intended to have the
effect of wedding out those organizations
which are only nominally and not actual.

she has been n born actress for about

good deal brighter than the lines the author

She doesn't pretend to be a particularly

PRESIDENTIAL PosToFFICEs.

The annual review and adjustment of sals-
ries of Presidential Postmasters has just been
completed by A. II. Scott, the Chief Of the
Salary and Allowance Division of the Postoffice
Department with the result that in large
number of the offices the salaries of the Post
masters have been increased. The salaries paid
Postmasters are based upon the gross receipts
of the Offices In third class offices the receipts
range from 81 900 to $4,000 annually, and the
salaries from 81 900 to 81 900. In the second
class offices the receipts range from $4,000 to
$35 600 and the salaries from s., 600 to 50, 900;
and in first class offices the receipts run from
$4,000 to $500, 600 and upwards, and the sala-
ries from $4,000 to $4,000. In third class
office each increase in the gross receipts of
81, 600 during the year entities the Postmaster
to an increase of 800 in his salary. In the
second class an increase of from 81 900 to So 900
in the receipts is required to give the Postmas-
ter an addition of 500 to his Fay and in the
first-class offices the receipts must be increased
from $1,000 to $50 000, according to the impor-
lance of the office, to cause an increase in the
salary of the Postmaster. The limit in salary,
so far as the Postotfice Department. is concern
ed is placed at $4,000, and in order to attain
this the receipts of the office must aggregate
100000 annually.
The following figures show the principal
changes in the Presidential offices throughout
the country that will result from Mr. Scott's
