VI. VI. TAYLoR's REMOVAL.
His Attorney Grows Fac etious in Re-
Viewing the EXidanc, in the Case.

viewing the Evidence in the Case.
Tacoma, Jan. l3.-SpeCial.-In pursuance
OF the ruling of Judge Pr.tchard Attorney
+. w. Cushman today served on he city
an amended petition in his application for
a writ Of certiCrari in the matter OF the
removal from Office OF President NJ. VI.
Taylor. Of the board Of public works. The
new petition was served N the original. and
contains some extracts OF the testimony at
AIR. Taylor's trial. one or rNo Of these are
c0uched in very amusing language, as the
following:
Henry w. Lawshe. member OF the
school board, and Christopher Wellington
Mock. eX-secretary of the board, then took
the stand. and by turns rehearsed the his
tory of the politics Of district Ne. 10 from
the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition
clean down to the rise date In the nine
teenth century, OF the dynasty founded by
the union Of Alexander Parker H., sur
named the Great, and Marcus Polo Bulger.
This testimony was very interesting in its
way, bat like little flowers that bloom In
the spring, il had nothing to do with the
case"
The relevancy OF the above lies in the
fact that the testimony OF Messrs. Law
she and Mock threw ray of light on the
political dexterty Of Mr.. Taylor in manip-
ulating the secretary Of the school board
out of a job and placing II. l.. Notaw. Mr..
Taylor's close political friend albeit Of diff
ferent political creed. being a Republican,,

tion of Councilmen Parker C'war horse"
Dem) and Bulger (Pop) is pertinent, as
these gentlemen by their pointed and sar-
castle queries. ruified the otherwise placid
composure Of Mr.. Taylor during the lat
ters testimony in his own behalf.

last Friday was not very courteous, l paid
no attention to It. He had a right to
decorate his building as he chose, even
though the decorations might be offensive
