Many Improvements are being
made at the Santa Fe storehouse.
During the past week the Office on
the lower floor has been moved TO
the east end OF the second story,
where Mr.. Bird and his assistants
have much larger and more con
venient quarters. The interior OF
the lower floor Of the building is
being overhauled and rearranged,
new shelving being put IN from
floor to ceiling on the four walls.
An elevator, manipulated by com
pressed air, will be Installed be
tween the two floors, for the con
venience OF his avoirdupois, the
storekeeper, and other heavy
weight traffic.
Notwithstanding the closing out
sales. and other evidences OF dis
tress on the part of great many,
1t is a fact nevertheless that the
payroll of the Santa Fe for January
was nearly equal TO that OF Decem-
Der, notwithstanding the shop FIRE.
The number of men employed at
the present time is within twenty
FIVE of the number employed be-
b .fore the FIRE. A double shift OF
machinists and boilermakers is
employed at the roupdhouse, one
working days ard the other nights,

FIRE Chief DIETSCH
STEPS DOWN A PEG

over the phone at his residence late
this afternoon he refused to speak
for publication, and when asked il
the mayor had demanded his retire
inent from the service he emphat-
ically answered mol"
Although Mr. Dietseh will noe
talk of the matter, two stories have
leaked out that bear on the situation.
One is that the resignation was
brought about through some warm
words between Chief Dietsch and
Mayor Wright over the Fourth OF
July celebration. The committee
asked Mayor Wright IL the fire de-
partment would make an exhibition
run July 4. The mayor said Yes" "
When the proposition was brought
up to Chief Dietsch he said NO. and
there was locking of horns.
Chief Dietsch gave as his reason
for not making the run that II was
unwise 10 take the department away
from headquarters on a day when
there was so much danger from fire.
The run was not made and Chief
Dietsch lost his job.
II is reported that the chief re-
fused to let one of his men act as
J assistant marshal In the parade for
the same reason.
Another report lis to the effect that
the resignation is part of an arrange
ment entered into when Mayor
Wright took up the reins of govern
ment. The story is that George Nc
Alevy, who was made assistant chief,
was slated for the place, but, as stat
ed in The Times at that time, was
not eligible under the charter because
he was not a bona fide resident OF
Tacoma.
The arrangement was that some-
body else should be appointed chief
for 80 days and then resign In favor
of McAleyy. The appointment was
offered to Captain Knoell on that
basis, but he refused to accept The
appointment of Mr Dletsch was them
announced, but whether he was In
the deal or not was never known.
Meanwhile Mr. McAlevy was appoint
ed assistant chief. The understands
ing was. It Is said, that at the end
of 80 days the two Offices would be
switched.
The time has not yet expired. but
II is said that the Fourth OF July
fracas precipitated the change a few
days earlier than was intended
Mayor Wright was found late this
afternoon. He stated that the change
was made In accordance with cam
paign arrangement and that Assist
ant Chief MeAlevy would be appoints
ed chief and Chief Dietech would
take the subordinate position

CLASH IN The COUNCIL OVER
SOUTH K STREET SALOONS

The question of renewing the
liquor licenses of the two saloons on
South K street, which gained a good
deal Of notoriety some time ago on
account of the strong protests raised
against them by residents in that vi
cinity, was brought before the coun-
ell last night, and a lively discussion
and clash between Councilman Con
rad, chairman of the license com
mittee, and Councilman Richards re-
suited.
The saloons in question are owned
by William Herd, 1904 South X
street, and Kellogg & Ford, 1105
South X, and their present licenses
will expire ON the gath Of this month
Councilman Richards desired that
the renewal of these licenses be de-
ferred for one week, as the people in
that neighbOrhood wish to circulate d
remonstrance for signers against inc
renewal. He said that the licenses
were being rushed through the coun-
Gil and that the citizens were una
ware OF the IaCt tDat t.Ie n4u,.-i ,,ds
to have come up. this week.
The charge made by Nh Richards
somewhat aroused Chairman Conrad
and he stated that the committee was
not railroading any liquor licenses
through the council. Other members
of the body also participated in the
debate, and when the roll was called
the vote read 8 to in favor of post
poning the renewals for one week
The session of the council lasr
night was an exceptionally busy one.
