vice a Big Shaking Up
FOUR AGENTS MUST GO
Men Slated for Removal Are
Said to Have Overlooked
Certain Irregularities

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-There has
been a big shake-up among the revenue
agents of the Internal Revenue Service,
but Just how far it has gone is mat
ter OF speculation. 1t is stated. how
ever that four wellknown revenue
agents have been asked for their resg-
nations and that at least two of the
four have come here for a conference
with Commissioner Yerkes of the In
ternal Revenue Bureau. These are
Captain Charles II. Ingram. in charge
of New England work, stationed at
Boston, and c. II. Burg, who has been
in charge of a section of the South
west and has been located in Texas.
The names of the other two agents
could not be learned to-day.
Commissioner YerkeS would not dis
cuss the matter. Those in position to
know say that Commissioners YerkeS
had personally been watching the work
OF the revenue agents, who are reall v
the secret investigating officials of the
revenue bureau, and has concluded that
some of them had not been doing their
duty in detecting some of the things
going on.

Pennsylvania.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Aug. H.-Death rode in
the locomotive cab of the fast Flying
Virginian on the main line of the
Pennsylvania Railroad to-day, and for
miles the crowded train flashed past
danger signals at nearly seventy miles
an hour with a headless engineer at the
throttle
Dan Mahoney, the engineer, had been
killed while leaning from the cab win
dow, and his fireman. not knowing it,
piled on coal to keep up steam. Suddenly
he noticed the red lights streaming by
and in a frightened voice, shouted: For
Gods sake. slow up Dan; you've run by
signals He received no answer, and,
crawling into the engineers cab, san the
body hanging from the edge of the win
dow. The fireman Immediately took his
place and brought the train to stand
still just at the entrance to a network
of switches north of Philadelphia. The
passengers gave the plucky fireman a
cheer as they left the train at West
Philadelphia.
Mahoney's wife was killed in a trolley
accident near Newark a year ago.

her habit as she lived, Miss HaZy, Mr..
Stubbins. Mrs. Schultz Mrs. Eichorn,
Asia. Australia, Eurooena-all the rest
of them seem to have walked in bodily
from the book.
"a three-act classic character comedy
with heart and home interest" the pro-
gramme labels the play and il is a good
label. No more than in the book from
which the play is made is there much
of a plot. but there is fun and sense,
broad humanity. wit and wisdom and
an all-round appeal in Mrs Wiggs.
Granted that Mrs. Schultz and Mrs.
Eichorn are figures more caricatures than
characterised are the Mrs. Schultzes
and Mrs Eichorns of life: granted
that some OF the condolences are too
lifelike TO be plausible. and many other
things grant; vet Mrs. Wigs of the
Cabbage Patch will be enjoyed by any
and every one.
