An Associated Press dispatch sent from
Cleveland. Dec. s, stated that the presi-
dents of the railroads including the trunk
lines. the Central, Western and Southwest
ern Traffic Associations had decided to
postpone further consideration of the
proposition to do away with free trans
%portation until another year. The rumor
that any such thing had been thought Of
originated in Cleveland, and G. +. DAILY,
general passenger agent Of the Lake Erie
& Western-a Lake Shore line-who at
tended the meeting of passenger officials.
where the Leader says ''the question was
discussed" says the question was not even
alluded to. The meeting was attended by
the general passenger agents Of a majority
OF the leading roads. He says IL is the
same old story which gets into circulation
before the time for renewal of annual
passes and other transportation. Mr.. DAILY
said further that with each year there

transportation unless the applicant is en-
titled to such favor. The roads will be
more guarded in issuing free t~ransporta-

reduced rates under the claim of being

do this. so often have they been imposed

take such a step. To make the change

A brief was filed in the Circuit Court
Yesterday by Frank Hendricks In the suit
against the Board of Children's Guardians
for the possession of the Howard children
The children were taken away from Mrs.
Howard soon after their fathers death.
Hendricks says in his brief that the board
has an uncomfortable mania" for taking
children away from their parents, and that
its members are utterly void of paternal
affections He says there was no reason
for the board taking the children, and that
they were removed while the mother was
still grieving over the death of her hus-
hand. He also attacks the constitutionality
of the law giving such authority TO the
hoard.

The announcement in ar afternoon paper
yesterday hat there would be an election
of officers Of the Arizona Copper-mining
Company, in which Mayor Taggart is in

premature. The stockholders and directors

last night, and frequent consultations were
held. but nothing definite resulted. The
cCmpany's attorneys were busy until a late
hour last night drawing up the papers per-
tanning to the organization. After these
have been repaired in legal form the
formal meeting, at which officers will he
elected, will be held. This will probably
take place tonight.
