There Seems to Have Been Three
Doughertys Who Played Havoc

Chicago, Jan, 2.-The Everett Audit

schools and prominent banker of
Peoria, has submitted its report to the
Peoria school board. The report con-
tains about 10000 words 1t is said
to be scathing in its criticism of GER

ravels many mystery and unfolds
strange juggling feats with figures and
checks.
1t was said today by sl official OF
the audit company that while he could

in order to arrive at the approximate

The total shortage shown, he sad,
would be more than 100000 in tne

Washington Jan. 2-There is a pos

of the old statesmen and the yodng
and untried members OF the house o.
representatives are talking unofficial
ly and in tones of resentment against
the, action of the leading railroads
abolishing the free transportation
privileges.
Their complaint, as openly expires.
sed, is not so much that because they
will not be accorded the usual cour
tesy by the railroads but they say
that the manner adopted by the rail
roads in making the anti-pass pro
nunclamento appears as IL done with
n view Of bringing public men inc
the limelight as graiters.
Not tor decades have so many
statesmen been in Washington on
New Years day as this year. This is
generally accepted as positive evil
dence that they realize the sincerity
of the railroads in their antl-pass cr.
sade
They bring back with them stories
of how the men who WELD affairs il
states and municipalities are deter
mined to take issue with the railroads

ments is being talked about.
There is no doubt that congress Il
sore. There is already discussion
that railway mail transportation rate
are excessive and that the annual al
propriation of $50,00000O should b,
pared down. They declare that th'

Officials of the Typothctae state that
of the SS printing offices in the city

demands of the union and others will
do So OF the more important OF these
firms are Martin Doubleday, Page a.
Co., S. S. Mcclure & Co., Wynckoff,
Hallenbeck, Crawford company. Tho
latter company, which is one of the
largest in the city was willing to agree
to as hours comprising weeks work,
but insisted that the men work extra
time whenever necessary to get out
rush orders, making up for this by
shorter work days afterward. This
the union refused to agree to.
