TURN DOWN
GRAVES DEAL

The board of works this morning
accepted the revised plans for the
addition to the Decarie crematory
on the present city site. F. c. Cap
pel-n, general manager of the De.
carrie Co, who negotiated the deal,
stated today that work of install.
ing the foundation for the addition
al plant would begin soon.
Commission J. T. O'Brien, secre-
tary of the board Of works, stated
that the iron garbage boxes which
were ordered from the Union Iron
works will be turned out soon and
that the city will be ready to take
over the garbage business before
the spring rush next April.
Regarding the proposition OF Jay
P. Graves and associates, who of.
fered to trade eight acres a few
miles east of the city for the pres
ent crematory site, which adjoins
the right of way Of the electric line,
Commissioner O'Brien does not an
ticipate a definite proposition be-
fore the next regular meeting of
the council on Jan. IA. However.
there is no disposition on the part
of the board just now to treat with
the electric company. The crema.
tory is practically odorless and by
it's central position, 1t is argued, is
better located than outside the city
limits.

that Ladd will not be indicted, but
prosecution Of the bank oficials
will be pushed.
Ladd gave up all active interest
in the trust company last July. The
bank failed late in October. In
vestigation has shown irregulari-
ties. Ladd's responsibility to the
banks depositors was only moral
one and rested on the fact that he
had allowed his name to be pub

torate after he had resigned.
Prior to last nights action Ladd
had guaranteed the savings ac-
counts of the institution. Ladd

LET ONE UNION
KEEP CHARTER

Organizer G. D. Young attended
the meeting of the Central Labor
union last night and outlined his
conduct in reference to the amalga-
nation of the local federal unions.
He said he was not in favor of re.
voking the charter of Federal union
No. 11,624, as that union was in q
fiourishing condition financially,
while the other federal union had
lesser resources.
Continuing, Young said the meet
ing of the State Federation OF La
Dor which convenes at Tacoma
would be record breaker In point
OF attendance. He regretted that
the local bartenders would not be
represented, that union having
withdrawn from the federation be-
cause the federation seated clergy.
men as fraternal delegates.
According to Young the Seattle
carpenters union will be represent.
ed by 10 delegates. This will be
the largest delegation from any in
dividual union In the state.
In speaking with reference to the
rights of the cement workers to the
cement work on city bridges Young
said the cement workers had jur.
isdiction over that class Of work
and 1t was the duty of local unions
to uphold them in their rights in
this regard.

In order to straighten out the un.
necessary tangle Judge Sullivan
this morning ordered Clerk Koontz
to prepare another notice which
would state specifically that on the
application of the attorney for the
violators the appeals were dis
missed.
Judge Sullivan stated that since
the appeals have been dismissed
on recommendation of the defense,
the cases assume their original

all that now Is necessary is for
Justice Hinkle to issue his orders of

yesterday. Justice Hinkle, who
has taken the matter under advise
ment until Friday morning, stated
this morning that he is still unde-
cided.

agreed to test the backbone OF the

Mrs. Kaziah Whaley, grandmother
Of Floretta. who eloped with Rev.
Jere Cook, is quoted as saying she

dropped, Unless the grandmother

The saloon keepers who violated
the Sunday closing ordinance and
appealed from the judgment of
Justice Hinkle must take their
medicine, according to Judge Sulli-
van, who yesterday, on recommen-
dation of Attorney Nuzum, repre-
senting the violators, dismissed the
appeals. Owing to an improperly
worded notice, issued by CLERK
Koontz yesterday, Justice Hinkle
this morning stated that in his
judgment he had nothing further
to do with the cases, because the
notice to him which purported to
be from Judge Sullivan's court
stated in so many words that the
cases were dismissed, without ref
erence to appeal.
A subsequent order this morning
Strengthened out the matter. Clerk
Koontz, owing to hastily pre-
pared notice yesterday, caused all
sorts of speculation. BY leaving
the word appeal out of his notice
