MORE wANroN VIOLATION
OF the Rules Governing Traction Com
pany's Waiting Room.

Wanton violations of the rules whicl
govern the Consolidated Lighting Cos
free waiting room in the Aldrich build
ing came to head this morning, whe,
Manager q. +, Mllar OF the compan,
and Chief Of Police Sinclair started on
on the trail OF several alleged offenders
who are accused of making the station
loafng place yesterday TO the incon
venience OF woman passengers and Other
patrons of the traction line. Seven CT
eight Of the suspected ones were hailed
before the officials and their names werl
taken for future reference in case the
Consolidated Co. follows out its intention
of starting prosecutions for every act
of hoodlumism committed in the wait
ing room.
Yesterday gang of young men made
such malicious use of the room during
the forenoon and early hours of after
noon that clureh-goers and others, who
usually wait between cars at the sta
tion. were compelled to remain outside
while loiterers converted the waiting
room into free and easy place, smok-
ing, indulging in loud talk and directing
vulgar remarks to passersby. Soon aIt
er noon, Manager Alillar was notified
of the situation and he went to the sta
tion and turned the key on both doors
for the day. The station is so located
that anyone inside can get clear view
Of North and South Main streets with
out going outside. IL is claimed that
the gang members who infest the place
keep close watch for approaching po-
licemen and quickly yacate the place as
soon as an officer hoves in sight. With
only one OF two policemen on beat, It
is almost impossible to keep constant
surveillance over the place.
In a statement made this morning,
Millar absolved the police from
any relaxation of duty in patrolling the
street. He declared that due warning
had been given trespassers and that he
felt fully justified in following up his
discovery of the offenders by prosecut-
ing. The company's trolley policy, ne
continued, il to furnish waiting room
for traction patrons with the provision
that it be placed at the disposal Of all
persons of orderly disposition. He feels
that the regulations governing the sta 4
ton have been shamefully ignored by
a few and much to the detriment. While
any contingency that would
deprive the public Of what has lately
flled long-felt want, Manager Nil
ar stated that the room would be closed
if the violations continue.
rhe president and other officers OF the
Board OF Trade have been interested in
he matter and it is not unlikely that
hat organization viii have something
q say in the matter.

the Danger, 1t Is
Believed

st. Johnsbury, March l7.--After -
hour tieup caused by the ice OF the mill
pond at Woleott covering the tracks for
nearly half mile, traffic was resumed
ON the st. Johnsbury & Lake Champlain

cradle damage here. The road to North
Danville is impassable on account OF
ice; Elm street and Concord avenue are
inundated, and tenants on Elm street
have been forced to leave ON account of
their houses being flooded
Workmen were forced to blast the ice
near the junction OF the Moose and Pas

water has now receded and the danger is
thought to be over.

But He Gives No Specific
Reason in Formal
Proclamation

Washington, D. c., March l7.--Presi.
dent Wilson to-day issued formal
proclamation convening an extra ses'

tically his wishes for the extra session
in his first message. 1t is believed that
the entire message will be taken up with
a discussion of the tariff, with the ex-
ception that the last paragraph will
draw attention to the need of currency
legislation. The tariff plans will be sub
mitted first to a caucus, then directly
to the House ways and means commit

NEWSPAPER WON FIGHT.
junction City Union Won Demur Over
Political Contest.

Junction City, Kan, July 2.-Word
has been received in this city that the
supreme court has denied the petition
of Thomas Dever of Junction City in
his case against John and Harry Mont
gomery, proprietors of the Daily
Union. The case was an outgrowth of
the city's fight for commission form of
government. The Daily Union printed
an article regarding the calling of a
council meeting, and Mr.. Dever, then
mayor of the city, claimed that the
story reflected on his reputation, and
filed suit for $1,000. The defendants
entered a demurrer, which was sus-
tanned by Judge King of the district
court. The supreme court lately sus-
tanned Judge Kings decision, where
upon Mr.. Dever filed a brief asking for
a rehearing. This has now been de-
MED and the case is closed.
