it completed in few days.

TO
CLOSE FACTORIES

The sewer at the head of the bay
is still causing trouble. The culvert
put in by the Northern Pacific af-
forded temporary relief, but condi-
tions now are about as bad as ever
and are causing the grayest alarm.
Closing the outlet to the East Side
trunk sewer by hl1ing in the tide
flats is causing the contents of the
sewer to overflow, and so far no def
mite steps have been taken to prevent
it. This condition was the cause
of a second appeal by representa-
tives of East Side manufacturing es-
adjustments to the streets and alleys
committee yesterday for relief. The
situation has become 50 serious that
unless the city takes immediate
steps to remove the dificulty some
of the factories may be compelled
to shut down temporarily and sew

ACCIDENT
CAUSED DEATH

John Martin died yesterday at the
Fannie Paddock hospital of blood
poisoning. While at work on his
ranch near Olalla, Martin cut his foot
slightly with an axe, about eight
weeks ago. The wound healed up
but afterwards broke out and he
came to the hospital for treatment
By that time the poison had gotten
too firm hold for the doctors to
check it and his death resulted.
Jack" Martin was well and favor
ably known in Tacoma, as he had
been a member of the police force
for IA years, having severed his con-
nection with that body only couple
OF months ago. He was one of the
most efficient men on the force and
distinguished himself on several oc-
casions by his bravery. He was SO
years Of age.
The funeral will be held Thursday
afternoon at o'clock from Hoska' 8
chapel on st. Helens avenue. Inter
ment will be in Tacoma cemetery.
Deceased leaves a wife, to whom
he was married only a few weeks
ago.

The city's revenues from gamblers
and slot machine men are being col
lected as usual this month under the
mask of absolute secrecy.
1t is a case of not letting the right
hand know what the left hand does.
Nobody can tell how much the
gamblers are compelled to hand over
TO the police in the shape of fines"
except the managers of the city hall
syndicate and the persons who pay
the money. The latter, being vio-
lators of certain laws, cannot say
anything, even if the screws are
tightened upon them and much good
money squeezed out.

RETURNS WITHOUT
HIS PRISONERS

Chief of Police Malony returned
from Vancouver last night without
Horace Gates and Gertie Johnson,
the alleged abductors Of Miss Norma
Hoyt OF this city. Gates and his
woman pal refused to come back to
face the charge placed against them,
and it will now be necessary to Sc
cure extradition papers before they
can be brought here.
The Vancouver officers, however,
have charge against Gates for hay-
ing burglars tools in his possession,
and he will probably be held for trial
there before he is turned over to the
local police.
Mrs. Hoyt and her daughter will
arrive here Thursday and Detective
Smith will accompany them.

having an open channel left in the

that the manholes are half filed
