ARRANGE FORMAN
VICTIMS FUNERAL
Relatives Left Little Instead of
Large Sum He Had
). Saved.

Arrangements are today being made
Tor the funeral of David Wickham. one
OF the victims Of former City Auditor
george Forman, who absconded over
a year ago with $19.5 800 of the elderly
mans hard earned savings.
Mr.. Wickham died of palsey at st.
Michael's Hospital yesterday. Ten
days ago one of his legs was ampu-
tated in a vain endeavor to save his
life. His widow, Mrs. Mary Wickham,
n seven sons survive him. Two of
the sons are married. The others lived
at home, 2SS Garside street.
Before the Forman episode Mr.. Wick
ham had practically retired from busi-
ness. He sold his hotel at Echo Lake
to the city for $40, 900.
Forman suggested that he might in
vest that sum of money in bonds of
the water department. TO this Mr..
Wickhan, who was then suffering
slightly from palsey, readily agreed.
The city auditor purchased some
bonds and showed them to Mr.. Wick
ham and promised TO deposit them in
"a safety deposit box. A few days later.
when Forman disappeared, it was
found that only $500 worth of bonds
had been purchased. Forman was
found by the police.
After discovering that he had been
defrauded, Mr.. Wickham rapidly be
came worse. A great deal of the money
n a had been left was expended for
medicine and doctors. Yesterday he
succumbed at the hospital, leaving his
family with very little money, instead
of the large sum he had managed to
save as a hotel-keeper.

1t is not necessary to repeat that the
Four Corners presents a serious problem to
the street railway operating man.
Everybody who uses the cars knows it.
1t is necessary, we believe, to repeat
what Public Service is doing TO relieve the
conditions at this congested point.
We want everybody who uses the cars
to know it.
Last week we said to our patrons,
WATCH THE SEMAPHORES,
and. we. explained how the new semaphore
signal service on Market street, west of
Broad, was designed to lessen the rush hour
confusion by showing to waiting patrons
lust where their cars would stop.
The semaphores worked splendidly.
Tney were a great help. Men and women
we're not compelled to rush back or forth
through the slush and mud to reach the
xars they wanted. All they had to do was to
aNsA9cH THE SEMAPHORES,
md they could tell where each car would
-stop. Tho s%emaphores will be operated for
pat6lio convenience during the busy hours
bvesg dsY.
we want you to keep in mind also that
II is not necessary to go to the Four Cor
neEs to get street car service.
You can avoid all the rush and hustle
and confusion at this point by taking a few
s4ens to the extra cars sent out as relief
cars when traffic is heaviest.
These include the Orange cars and the
Central cars from Market and Washington,
