GIRLS FAT IN CHINATOWN;
 DISCHARGED
Fifteen From Boston Phone Exchange Told By Manager That They Must Suit Be- cause of Midnight Lark.

BOSTON, Nov. 11.-Because fifteen telephone girls, employed on the switchboard at the Main exchange of the New England Telephone company went together to restaurant ip Chinatown a week ago last night, after they had finished their hard nights work at II o'clock. they were given notice that they are to be dis charged November A.
 Most of the girls had never visited Chinatown and saw no harm in mak- ing i1 party of fifteen to go to some Chinese restaurant and learnfhe mys- teries of chop suey and other Celestial eaibles.
 Tired with their arduous duties at the switchboard during the busiest hours of the night, they made a merry party.
 They gave the matter no further thought until they were notified yes terday by Main Manager willcutt that after November 14 their services would no longer be required.
 They were told that the reason of their discharge was because they had visited Chinatown, and that such a visit was disgraceful.
 Main Manager Willcutt admitted that he had given a number of the switchboard girls notice that they are to be discharged and that the req son was because he had learned they had visited Chinatown.
 "I considered 1t disgracefu' that any girls who would go to Chinatown should be allowed to work at our main switchboard" declared Manager Will cutt, land when I learned they had gone there I gave them notice of dis missal"
 Main Manager Willcutt would not state the exact number of girls be had ordered discharged He declared 1t was a matter personal to the tele- phone company He did admit. how ever, that uuite a nunber had been sent the dismissal order. He would not admit that the fact it was large party and they went unattended by any male companions lessened the of fense in the eyes of the officials of the comDany.
 For a long time the management has been carrying on regular esDion- age of the girls emrlcyed at its switch boards. and men have been sent out from the office to watch the girls. Manager willcu't admitted fast night to 8 renorter that he had had the girls watched on the outside.
 Just how long this has been going on could not be learned. but there have been results. as Manager Will cutt practically admitted when he said other girls had been discharged for various alleged lapses of deport- ment.
 Only the other day the management at the main exchange caused to be posted in the offices a notice to the effect that in the future the telephone girls entployed there must not have any young men waiting on the out side of the building for them to get through work.
 Was it effective?" asked a reporter of Manager Willcutt
 "You bet it was" he replied. ''It has served to clean them out pretty we'll" 2'
 The girls who received the notices that they had but a week or more to work. were naturally indignant over it. and are talking of making an appeal to officials higher up.

One day recently d cow-puncher explained the yexatious puzzle in dozen crisp words.

MUT|NEERS CHAINED IN HOLD FOR WEEK
Ship Arrives in San Francisco With Narrowing Tale of
 Trouble.

SAN FRANCISCO, Ncv. 11.-Thefe was mutiny on the whaling bark Johh and Winthrop on the cruise just end ed. and after guns had been flashed or the oilsoaked deck twenty-two men were manacled for days in the main hold, while the officers worked the ship and cursed.
 The old bark came to port today. un- der command of Captain W. T. Shorey. who has been skipper of the John anu Winthrop for years. On this occasion he returns with a catch of 750 barreis sperm whales whica were taken at iH- tervals all the way from the Hawaiian Islands to the Caroline Islands and the Sea of Japan.
 The mutiny too kplace at Hakodate in Northern Japan, where the whaI.a put in for fresh water and supplies during the latter part of July.
 When the skipper is said to have denied the men enough shore liberty, restricting them to only a few hours each, with only one yen, or the equlNo- lent of fifty cents in American money, to spend. The outbreak was when the skipper returned from shore anu ordered a man to handle the stores. The man refused, and big John Duarte, boat steerer, likewise said he would do no more work unless more shcl e leave was given.
 Duarte was placed in the sail pen Calling out their sympathizers,- 6 score of foremast hands said they would stand by him, and it was a trying tin.v Frx- ar, L. his quarters aft with revolver anu his mate likewise flashed a gun. Ey- cry last man was placed in irons, un- der the shadow and threat of a Ie- yolver, and sent into the hold.
 Day after day, for nearly a week, the men were kept below in the foui smalling hold. and even the United States consul at Hakodate, who had gone out to the Joan and Winthrop, to investigate the mutiny. is sdia to have told the sailors that the whore thing was discretionary with CaptaIu Shorey, and that ne could give them no relief, though the men had first been placed in irons while the vessel was at anchor in the port of Hako- date.
 The last two or three days of ther imprisonment was spent by the men chained to line that bound them at together, making it impossible for them to lie down. Bread and water was their fare, and the treatment brought the mutineers to terms, to the great relief of the officers, who had been overworked in manning the ship. The John and Winthrop was thirty eight days in making port.
 On August Is, off the coast of Asia, an earthquake was felt at sea, and on the evening of the same day a great comet, described by the whalemen as having 'an awful fight" was seen sweeping across the sky.

MAY TRY NEW CARS.
New Haveners May Have a Chance to
 "Pay-as- You -Enter.''

The Connecticut company may ex- pertinent with pay-as-you-enter cars and give this style a thorough try out in this city before very long Nothing definite has been done, but the higher officials of the company are watching with much interest the experiments being made in other cities with these cars. In some cities, in fact, the experimental stage has been already passed, and the pay-as- you-enter car taken off of probation and made permanent fixtures.
 If the cars are tried, the try out will be on one of the less import ant lines of the city. A trolley official told reporter that in all probability, If pay-as-you-enter cars are eXper1' mented with in New Haven, the Syl- van avenue-George street line would be the one chosen for the venture. The new style cars have been tried on Madison avenue in New York city for the past week, and have been voted an unqualified success by both the travelling public and the orerat-
  street railway system in that city, Orren Root, has made the statement that the gross earnings of the con- pany were fully ten per cent less than they should be because of the knocking down of fares by dishonest conductors, and the nonpayment Of fares on the part of passengers. This is done away with on the new cars | But this is not wherein the great advantage of the pay-as-you-entei car lies. With the new cars, the conductor is always on the rear plat form, and this should obviate most accidents in boarding and alightine from the cars. The amounts paic out in damages are no mean items or the credit side of the financial enc of a trolley corporation. Fake dam age suits should be largely done away with.
 The latest cars will have slot-reg istering machines installed on them These have never been tried and thu innovation will be watched with con siderable interest. Whether the trol ley company will be burdened with vast collection of plug nickels or no is much-mooted question.
 It will be only short time befor all the pay-as-you-enter cars will b. equipped with turn stiles which wi! record the number of persons enter ing the cars With these cars th' conductor will have to produce far' or it's equivalent. There is no chance of beating the company.
 The platforms of the new cars ar' unusually wide. The passengers CT ter by the rear and leave by the fron platform. There will be exit door on the sides, also in the cars that ar now under construction. These door are operated by the conductor. Ther is much less confusion in the nev than under the old system.
