licemen of the Washington City police
department by Major Sylvester, superin-
tendent. They were instructed to take
bread crumbs, corn and other grain to
their beats and sprinkle them on the
snow for the birds to eat while the

Sylvester is an officer of the Fish and
Game Protective Association of the Dis
trict of Columbia. He states that if the
quail and other game birds are not fed

Change Of N. & w. Policy.

President T. E. Johnson. Of the Nor
folk and Western. returned yesterday
morning from Philadelphia. and to
representative Of this paper gave out the
following statement relative to the dis
continuance of passes: Beginning with
January I. 1906. the Norfolk & Western
Railway Company will discontinue the
issuance of free transportation to all per-
pms other than employees of the company.
It is not the intention to discontinue the
issuance of free transportation to its en-
ployees. but the same restrictions hereto
fore thrown around the issuance of free
transportation will be continued IN the
future as in the past. The Norfolk and
Western railway will exchange transport
tation with other railroads Tor persons
actually employed thereon upon request
of proper officers for such transportation
| The above outlines the policy of the COM
pany outside of the state of Virginia. 1t
affects the policy of the Norfolk and
w CStCA u AdiA W1{ Al LIZ oioeS u - 5 III .
to this extent: Although it is perfectly
we'll known-that this company has issued
no free transportation to any state or
municipal officers of the state of Vir-
ginia since tae adoption of the pres
ent constitution. yet it has been custo-
mary for this company to issue tree
transportation in some instances to the
officers of the federal government. This
last named class of transportation will be
discontinued. In this connection it may
be proper to state that the railway COM
pany will discontinue its policy of adver-
| tlsement on account of free transporta-
ton, but that such advertisement as the
company sees fit to place will be paid tor.
It will be seen from the above that SO far
as the employees of the road are concerned
they will not be affected, but the order in
substance means the discontinuance of
passes to every one else. The policy of
the railroad to issue transportation to the
newspapers in exchange for advertising
will be discontinued. and what adver-
Using they do will be paid for and news
paper men will be required to pay their
fare. Roanoke Times. December 10.
