BURKE HAS A
POLICE RECORD

Evidence that he is a bad man is ac.
cumulating to a remarkable degree against
John Burke, now under arrest on suspi-
cion of being the man who fatally wounded
Druggist Sewer Larsen Friday night in an
attempted hold-up.
Besides the ante-mortem statement
signed by Larsen on Saturday to the
effect tAat John Burke did the shooting,
Larsen reiterated the statement to friends
who were permitted to see him yesterday
afternoon. Not only is larsen certain
that the police have the right man under
arrest, but Henry Meland, who was in the
rear of the drug store at the time Of the
shooting, positively asserts that the police
have caught the criminal
Instead of being a new man at the hold
up business, as was first thought, Burke
turns out to be criminal. aud has a
bad record. 1t has been found that Burke
was arrested short time ago in Seattle.
ON the charge of larceny, but as the evil
dence was not of sufficient strength for
conviction, he was released He was ar
rested in Chehalis by the sheriff on the
charge Of carrying concealed weapons. and
ON his person large number of gold
rings were found but no evidence could
be procured against him on the charge of
larceny and he again escaped.
This time, however, it looks as if he
was in for penitentiary sentence at
least.

THROTTLING PROCESS OF ELECTRIC
OCTUPUS DEMANDS PUBLIC NOTICE

Editor The Tacoma Times-Sir: The
case of the White River Power company
against the Tacoma Industrial company
Seattle Electric company decided by
Judge Huston in favor of the Power com
pany has gone up on appeal to the su-
preme court Of this state, and until it is
settled in that tribunal it is not thought
that the White River Power company
Will prosecute its construction operations
upon a very extensive scale. A peculiar
and unfortunate feature of this situation
as regards the public is that if the Tacoma
Industrial company succeeds in destroying
the property of the White River Power
company through the agency cf the courts
they will practically destroy the river cor
their own use as well.
Their principal point of contention
against the White River Power company
is a technical one, namely that the power
company is not endowed with the power
of eminent domain and has no right of
condemnation. If the court holds to this
view, Of course the same theory will
apply to the Tacoma Industrial company
or any other public servant company now
created or which may hereafter be ere
ated in this state for the purpose of i'm
proving the rivers for industrial and manu-
featuring purposes for the benefit OF the
people.
The engineering plan of the Power com
pany makes possible the development Of
100000 horsepower in White river The
Industrial company's plan according to
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-02-15

their testimony, makes possible the devel.
oprnent of 10000 horsepower. upon the
same river, and USING THE SAME
AMOUNT OF WATER. The more ex-
tensiye output of the Power company's
plant is due to the fact that their head
OF water or fall is three times greater
than the Industrial company's, and to the
further fact that they have a natural
storage reservoir at their command of
1000 acres, which they can draw down 30
feet, thus enabling them to impound the
flood waters in the river and to pay
out the same during the period of minimum
flow Of the same, thus augmenting the min
imum flow TO three times what it natural
ly runs.
1t is indeed a pity that so worthy an en-
terprise should be held in allegiance by the
seliishness Of company which seeks to
destroy it, while during all this time the
industrial development of the country is
held in check and people who desire to
establish industries and who are clamoring
for power must patiently await the set
Element of this petty attack upon worthy
project before they can carry out their
plans. CITIZEN.

Mexican, Lily Lapgtry was held up at
Langtry, then unnamed by a wreck The
30 residents of The place gave her an
ELUSIVE welcome, and when she left they
asked her to call again. On her next visit
she learned that her name had been given
