 thought it was time for the government to begin another inquiry.
 According to the report, the four
 jurors alleged that there was enough evidence submitted in 1908 to the grand jury to warrant the finding of true bills. and that in spite of this, there
 was sudden apathy on the part of those behind the prosecution. They also said that if the investiga ton was not renewed immediately they would make a statement to the public setting forth their theory as to why fhe prose-
 cution had been dropped.

BROOKLYN RAPID TRANSIT WILL DIVIDE PROFITS A GENERAL INCREASE IN WAGES
 TODAY. Eight Thousand Men Will Be Benefit
 cially Affected.

New York. Jan. 27.-Eight thousand men will share in the increase oi wages to be put into effect tomorrow by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit com pany. The raise will mean an addi- tional expenditure for the company of about s200.000 annually.
 The increase was unsolicited and ap- plies to every man in the employ of the company. It directly affects at least 10000 men, women and children, the employees and their families, and was due to the company's belief that the increased cost of living justified it.
 Vice President and General Manager J. F. Caldrewood of the B. R. T. said:
 Now that the stockholders are re- ceiving a partial return, the directors feel that the trainmen, whose rate per hour has not been uniformly increased for years. should also share in the prosperity the company enjoyed last year. and as result will receive an increase which will amount to about s200.000 a year.
 This amount will be further in creased by efficient service. depending upon the efforts of the men. The in crease is over 10 per cent of last years surplus of the company. It fol- lows the pension system inaugurated January l as further recognition of the men.
 "On the surface lines conductors and motormen will receive the same pay. ranging from 21 to A cents an hour according to length of service. Next year this schedule will be advanced to 2l1s up to 24is cents an hour.

CHIEF OF POLICE.

Our recommendation concerning
the Office of chief of police has not
been complied with and we sug-
gest that if the commissioners
deem it necessary to have a chief Of
police. we recommend that one be
appointed by them, which would
give the town Of Tonopah one eX-
ira police officer without any addi-
tional cost; under the present sys-
tenn we have three officers by pay
ing four salaries. We now demand
that if four salaries are to be paid
that we have four officers.
This recommendation is not made
with the idea of hurting anybody,
but solely for the purpose of re-
trenchment and improvement of the
service, as we honestly believe that
two men can give better service
than one man, drawing two salaries.
