PENNSY BREAKS
UP PASS SALES

The Pennsylvania railroad has sue
ceeded in breaking up a practice that
has given IL considerable trouble for
more than year-the selling Of en-
ployes' trip passes 10 persons not en-
titled 20 have them.
In some cases passes which have ac-
tually been issued to employees have
been sold by them or given to their
friends. but by far the larger portion
OF the passes that have gone astray
have been obtained by fraudulent
means and sold for what they would
bring. 1t was discovered that a num-
Der Of the blanks upon which applica-
tons for passes are made out by en-
ployes had been stolen from the offices
Of officials, filled out with fictitious
names. signed with the forged sigma
ture of one or another of the officials
and forwarded to headquarters where
passes were issued. This went on till
through some discrepancy in accounts
the clerks discovered the fraud and
since that time efforts have been made
to trace the missing passes. The per-
sons selling them must have been
tipped off for no more OF the fraudu-
lent orders have been received at head
quarters and the officials are satisfied
to have broken up the practice.

they are just as serious and earnest
about it. as their fathers and big

The feverish eagerness on the part Of
partisans of different candidates is ex-
pected TO cause the largest crowd in
Wilmlngtons history. to gather tonight
