OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYEES
TO TESTIFY.

ChicagO.-The Western Union Telc.
graph Company will be brought into
the limelight before the January fed
eral grand jury. which convened
Wednesday morning. in connection
with the bucket shop" cases. A score
of witnesses were subpoenaed by the
Department Of Justice agents. among
them being several employees of the
Capital Investment Company, the Sid
McHie concern recently raided. Nc,
HE is said to have paid all who had
anything due them on his books.
A number of employees and minor Of
ficers of the Capital Investment Com
pany, 1t is said, have appeared at the
federal building and,volunteered TO tes-
tify as to the operations of the Chi
cago concern and it's thirty.nine
branch offices.
The extent of the participation of
the Western Union Company in the
business affairs of the "bucket shop"
ring will be the main issue in the in
vestigation, as the Department of Jus
tices believes it has sufficient evidence
against the apparent officers and en-
pioyes of the concern to warrant in
dictment and conviction.
While the Capital Investment Com.
pany, figuratiyely. has been wiped off
the map" its patrons have not los.
money. When the government agents
raided the main offices in the Rock
cry building, confiscated the books and
tore out the telegraph wires. the com.
pany had S635.000 on deposit in Chi
cago banks.
Immediately after McHie came to
Chicago from New York he began
checking up accounts. He took pos
session Of the concerns funds and
doled the money back to such patrons
as the. receipt books showed had

Arch Hoxsey, aviators extraordinary,

Youna Ace Pensions,

Young-age pensions! Why not? IT,
ties. honors. riches. pensions and most
other good things are. as a rule, post
poned to period of life when the ca
pacity for enjoying them has been
blunted. Australia was one of the
nrst countries to adopt old-age PEN
sions, and now a Labor member of the
commonwealth parliament proposes a
complementary scheme of young-age
pensions. He would start by pension
Ing the fourth child at birth. The fact
that three had previously been born
showed that the parents were doing
their duty and deserving well Of the
state. The young-age pension would
reward industry and encourage the
birth rate."-London Chronicle.
