Cornish , mastor-ln-chanccry for the Union Pacific rctelv ershlp caces , will fllo his report of the Investigation Into the alleged Irregularities In the management of the hospital funds of that railway and in the wage schcdulo case with the United States court on September 1. This will be followed by the filing of a lengthy report by Martin Dolphin , attorney for the Order of Railway Telegraphers , In which ho will take several Important exceptions to the master's report. The report of Master-ln-Chancery Cornish lum been finished , but will not be given out for publication until It Is presented to the court. Attorney Dolphin arrived jesterday from tlm east , and stated in the after noon that hevhad examined the master's 10- port. The employes feel that certain points that were made against the management of the hospital department did not re-celvo fair consideration Exceptions will be taken to both the reports In the- , hospital and In the wugo schedule casca. In the report of Maflter-in-Chancery Cornish It will appear that ho found no one guilty of maladministration In the medical department. It will bo recommended that tl.o fulturo management of the hospital funds , for the support of which all employes of the Union Pacific , from mefsenger bojs up to general manager , are assesbcd 40 cents a month , be E > O arranged that an accounting of the tecclpts nnd the disbursements be mnde quarterly. If demanded by the con- tilMuors to the hospital fund. This la the most Important point which Attorney Dolphin In his bill of exceptions will ask the court not to tndorao. Ho Is of the opinion that an accounting of the funds viiudc up of the monthly contributions of the omplojes ohould he tendered at least every three months without any oftlciaJ 'demand J by the employes. Ills bill of exception or this point will take the stand that the em- Vlo > es should not bo compelled to take the Initiative In securing 'u mport of the col lection and disbursements of their own moncjs. The bill of exceptions will Insist that the court should make the quarterly reports of the hospital monejs mandatory , nn , 1 that they be Issued quarterly to the contributor without action on their 'part for seeming such report. i'AY i A . .si7ji7Hs conn PI-'M lliilfx nn S Car Some time ago The flee announced that the Santa Fo railroad had decided to glvo flrit cbolco of berths In sleeping cars to passen- ucra pivliiK full fare and that other we ( - orn iflllrotda were considering the advisabil ity of adopting the same rule. A local paper and the Koneinl parscnger agent of a local railroad denounced the article OH a In a letter to The lice , W. J. Black , gen- oml | U88C'iigcr agent of the Santa Fo rail road , writes regarding this matter ag fol lows : "Our agents at prominent points on our line where sleeping cur reservations can ho obtained were Instructed by letter to the effect that while they could accept ro- aucsts for reservations for paraongeiH holdIng - Ing frru transportation , actual reservations must not ho nude until our paying traffic was token care of for that date , It Is my belief that our paying passengers are enti tled to uuch consideration , and as our man agement It ) of the- same opinion , I do not think that there Is nn > thing fuither to adJ to the matter.
