mems Brotherhoods Of employees on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad left
Tuesday for Baltimore where they
will confer with head officials of the
company in regard to the annual wage
schedule. Employees of the entire
system will be represented, and it is
expected that five or six weeks will
be required to complete the work.
1t is reported from railroad circles
that at present things are going more
smoothly in the Monongah district,
While traffic conditions are not the
best there has been marked i'm
proyement over the demoralized state
of affairs that existed prior to the
change of division officials last oc-
tober
One of the agreeable results of the
change has been the revival OF har-
mony between the trainmen and the
Grafton officials of the road. The
promotion of Patrick Judge to the
position of superintendent OF trans
portatlon was welcome news to en-
ployes in all branches of the service
Superintendent j. F. Keegan has sue
ceeded in bringing order out Of
chaos, and it is believed that with
the assistance Of Mr.. Judge, he will
maintain his reputation as a highly
capable official.
About the only trouble now being
experienced is in the telegraph de-
partment, where it is said. that con
siderable dissatisfaction exists. Many
complaints are being registered by
the telegraphers, and it is probable
that the outcome will be the appoint
ment of a special committee repre-
senting the men, to be empowered
TO carry their greviences to the Bal
timore Office, and 1T is unlikely that
some important changes will be ad-
vised.

PARROTS FLY IN WALDORF
Return to Gage Only When Ad-
dressed in Spanish,

Juan Rodriguez, Of Lima, Peru, had SO
many parrots he didn't know what to dc
with them when he got to the Waldorf.
Astoria the day before yesterday. As the
management would not permit the birds
in the bedroom of the sehor. they were
left for safekeeping in the cloakroom.
There were four in one cage.
Senior Rodriguez went for a walk yes
terday afternoon, and while he was out
the cage in some way was opened and the
parrots flew out. Into the cafe went two
of them and perched upon the back of a
chair. They spoke only Spanish, and no
one there could understand, SO the waiter
at that particular station didn't know
whether they wanted Spanish omelet
or Chill concarne. The birds waited so
long that they got Disguised and few
out again. This time they went to the
barroom and perched upon the frame of
a large picture on the south wall, a pict-
ure Of French fishermen launching a boat
in the surf There they sat and chartered
like pair Of excited toreadors
From the top OF the picture they went
to investigate the telephone system Of the
hotel on the mezzanine floor and lit upon
wires. No one could persuade them to

he would "bally we'll ave them locked
hup." but tfey didn't bulge or turn a
feather.
1t was recalled that John Rogers, super.
intendent of service, could speak Spanish
like Spanish onion, so he was called up.
Rogers got ladder, and as he climbed
toward the parrots whtstled the Spanish
serenade." The parrots We're charmed.
they opened up a conversation with the

ing the work Of the investigating commit
tee because I only intended to stay with
them for few months at the most. And
then there is another reason. My &C
counts have been held up In the Mayors

ing my present Job that would have been
sufficient. 1t Is plain that cannot afford
to work for nothing and then pay the

Service"
Emory r. Buckner chief counsel for the
aldermanic committee, said last night that
he had not heard that the reason for the
detectives return TO Washington was be-
cause his expense accounts had been held
up In the Mayors office. He said:
1.-THE reason the chief left for Washing
ton was because his ambition has always
been to be in charge Of the national Sc
cret Service. 1t was thoroughly under
stood when he accepted the position with
us that he would leave just as soon as
he saw an opportunity to step into the
boots OF John e. Wilkie. And now he has
his opportunity"

of Flynn for October, and even that
months salary, had been held UP In the
ONCE of Mayor Gaynor and that the de-
tective was considerably put out by the
occurrence.

fifth man was either Cava or Gambler
della. But four men were arrested
What Mr. Buckner wanted TO know
was why the detective after hearing the
men plan the robbery didn't place them
under arrest before the deed was done
Buckner couldn't understand why the
crooks should have had enough conf
dence in Cava TO discuss before him their
plans. The best answer that the detec-
tive could give was: "They all hit the
pipe and so didn't know what they were
saying" Cava confessed that he pawned
the revolver for Charles Rossi one of the
burglars, when he was asked to. The
witness could not answer a single ques-
ton before nervously hopping his brow
Thomas b. McGrath. clerk in the pawn
shop in which the revolver was pawned,
also gave testimony. Also Joseph Gold
stein, one of the men arrested. was
brought in from the Tombs. He said that
Lieutenant Glynn called on him In prison
and promised to have him let off with
light sentence if he would tell where Ben
jamin Levy could be found.
Deputy Commissioner George S. Dough-
erty was told last night of the testimony
given by Levy the stoolpigeon, and asked
what he had to say about II.
They're just trying to stir up lot OF
trouble. They're making much out of
nothing. OF course, 1 pay my stool
pigeons for whatever information they
can bring to me or my men, but ! have
never paid them a cent for having
plotted or carried out robbery or other
crime. It's all lies Why, that man Levy
was himself brought before me, along
with two or three others, for having
committed a burglary.

arrested there has not been another such
