Taxieab Firm Believes Chauffeurs
Have Given Up Strike

Failure by a committee representing
the Chaufeurs' Protective Association 20
make a final demand for an adjustment
OF its complaints against the Terminal

dcials of the company to believe that the
chauheurs in its employ have abandoned
the plan for a strike.
At a meeting which adjourned shortly
before daybreak yesterday committee
OF five chauffeurs was appointed TO seek
a conference with superintendent Flick
ling, OF the Terminal Taxicab Company.
but the committee, for reasons of its
own. made no effort to confer with the
company's superintendent. Officials Of
the company said last night that they
believe the chauffeurs have decided it
wise to stop talking strike" realizing

Several matters OF Importance pertain
ing 10 the management of the hospital

stress has been laid upon the matter of

matter of payment of charges for the
treatment of patients who are not strict
" indigents.
Burden on the District.
Corporation Counsel Thomas. in a re-
cent report 70 the Commissioners, held
that the District was in a position where
II could not exact payment for patients
treated at the hospital. The District is

Revenue Tug Gresham Forced to Cut
Loose from Schooner n. B. Fiske.

Boston, Jan. 25.-Unable to make
Roadway against the strong tide and
an easterly gale, the revenue cutter
Gresham was compelled tonight to
drop the towline of the derelict schoon-
err Henry B. Fiske, which she pulled
up yesterday, 40, miles east of Nam
tucket island. A wireless dispatch from
the captain of the Gresham received
by way of Siasconset says that she
was driven with her tow on Nantucket
shoals, and that the schooner stuck
amid the breakers and had to be aban-
doned at $50 tonight.
y The schooner was reported by the
steamer Cymric as menace to nav
igation several days ago anad yester-
day the revenue cutter located her off
Mar tucket South Shoals lightship and
took her in tow.
Slow progress was made and this
afternoon~the Gresham sent a wireless
appeal for tug to assist her, having
made but 40 miles in less than 30
hours, but before assistance arrived
she was forced to abandon the dere-
'iictx0n Nantucket shoal. The tug US>r
derwFiter was sent out from this city
this afternoon in response to the APP
peal of the Gresham.
