 eral months ago the company got wild oyer. the fact that several of the
 members of the force were abusing Sthe, privilege and an investigation proved that some of the force had been in the habit of tearing off sew eraI passes at one time and giving them to the conductor. The latter would, hold the passes a day orA two and then substitute them in place of nicke1s on different trips. In this way the company was being steadily cheated. It was then decided to withdraw the privilege entirely.
 The company believe that the de2 .ception was practiced by only two officers. If positive proof of their corruption can be obtained the com pany will present the matter to the Police board and ask that the men be dropped.

CHARTER TO PoCAHoNTAs

The proceedings of the convention of the Independent Order of Red Men was taken up to-day in a discussion on the Daughters of Pocahontas. The result of the discussion was that it was voted to grant to the auxiliary lodge charters, their own ritual and bylaws. Heretofore the Daughters of Pocahontas have simply been al- lowed to exist without official recog- hilton of the grand lodge. In fact women and co1pred persons were strictly tabooed by the Red Men. So intense was the feeling that 5 years ago a. resolution was introduced by a member which became a part of the bylaws of the grand lodge and which forbade members bringing in applica- ton for women or colored persons un- subordinate lodges granted charter people, their charter in turn. would be revoked by the grand lodge
 Those in favor of the women's aux Hilary won a substantia1 victory and Albert Schaff of this city was one of the hardest workers to that end. At the adjournment of the convention Albert Schan hurried home and form ed Dorotllea. Stamm of the, Daughters of Pocahontas. Now there are z in existence.
