money taken out. The box was returned
to the drug store. but the Identity of the
thief could not be learned. In the past
few months there have been several such
robberies, and the police are led TO be-
lieve that some ore is carrying on a sys-
tematic confiscation of these charity boxes.
The boxes are usually placed on counters
or in some conspicuous place that will
catch the eye OF the public for donations.
The box in the drug store is now chained
10 the counter, and others have followed
the same plan to make the charity dona-
lions secure.

BOYCOTT Threatened.

The lines Of the Central Passenger As
ISOLATION have decided TO boycott several of
the roads west of Chicago unless they
agree to withdraw the prepaid orders from
Central and Trunk Line Association ter
%ritories. 1t is charged hat the Western
lines have persisted against the appeals
of the two Eastern associations in flooding
the territory east of Chicago with pre-
paid orders, handling them through the
brokers and coupon agents, thereby pref
udicing regular business. The committee
appointed by the Central Passenger Asso-
citation, representing the lines running
west from Chicago. st. Louis and Cincin-
NATL, has held several conferences and now
reports in favor Of a boycott of the Of
Tending Western lines. This will be done
by eliminating the prorating privilege be-
tween Central and Western territory. The
committee making the report consists OF
Warren j. Lynch, general passenger agent
of the Big -Four, and o. p. Mccarthy, the
general passenger agent of the Baltimore
& Ohio Southwestern.
