CITY MAY COMPEL
BETTER CAR SERVICE


III the city council passes the or
dinance being prepared by Judge
Stiles this afternoon the street
car managers may have to run
more cars on some lines in the
city or answer In court.
South Tacoma residents have
been complaining for some time
over the poor service given that
section. The complaints were
lodged with councilmen this week
and the city attorney is drawing
an ordinance to introduce tonight
to provide that the company must
run a 10-minute service all day
up to 10 o'clock at night and 20
minutes thereafter. There must
also be five minute service for two
hours night and morning during
the rush hours.
The city attorney intends put
ting criminal penalty In for nom
compliance so IL the council passes
the ordinance and 1t stands the
legal test in court as being rea-
sonable In its demands, 1t will then
be up to the street car officials
to give the service or explain.

IS
LIVING
ALONE
MUCH MARRIED ATTORNEY
LEAVES HOME OF WIFE NO.
8 IN SEATTLE. BUT MERRY
WAR AMONG THE NILS
DANES GEORGE GOES ON.

Although Attorney Charles y.
George has left the swell Seattle
home of Mrs. Janson George and
has taken up bachelor apartments
in the Bay View hotel here he
denies the story printed in Sc
attic paper yesterday intimatins
that Mrs. George No. 3 had lost
faith in her distinguished appear
ing husband.
Yet the Seattle paper quotes
Mrs. Janson-George, who is Mrs.
George No. 8, as saying at would
have been better IL had neves
met him."
This, too, Mr.. George says his
present wife never said.
But while the suave attornav
continues in even tenor of digni-
fed way the battle of the Mos
danes George goes merrily on.
"Mr. George had still another
WIFE" said Mrs. Ida L. George,
who claims to be Mrs. George N,
2, yesterday, with whom he had
lived In Boston for several years
She died about f1ve years before
we married, according to his own
story" This, too, Mr.. George IN
Tacoma emphatically denies.
Mrs. George No. is suing
Mrs. Janson-George, or Mrs.
George No. 8, for $4,000 because
of the alleged alienation of
Georges affection from her. But
it seems that Mrs. George No. 2
had also "stole" Georges $4,000
affections, as she is in turn being
sued by Mrs. Mae e. George OF
New York, or Mrs. George No. i,
for $4,000. N
Mr.. George denies that he had
ever married Mrs. George No. 3,
although the latter positively as
serts that the marriage took place
in legal form in Montreal on Sep
tember 16. 1908. She is nov
sung him for separate maintea-
ance.
Several times I tried to get Mr.
George to go with me and have a
talk with the woman who claims
to be his Wife" said Mrs. Janson
George yesterday. II wanted
them to get together and have the
matter settled, but he did not
want me to meet her."
when l asked Mr.. Geor ye
about his marriage to Mrs. Jam
son." said Mrs. George No. 2 yes
terday, che said it did not amount
to anything, that it was illegal.
My sister and I went over to Ta-
coma last Wednesday. Mr.. George
kissed my sister in his old familiar
way when we arrived. He asked
me to drop my suit and agreed TO
go with us back East, clear up
Everything out here and settle
down in New York or Philadel-
phia. refused to 60"
But Mr.. George brands the
above assertion a "cruel lie'' in "a
letter written to Mrs. Jansoa-
George, written a few days before
he determined to live bachelors )
life in Tacoma.

Protest on Tax Boost
to Be Heard Monday

Last year the total valuation
was in round numbers $4,000
900. This year, according to the
figures sent to City Controller
Meads today by the county au-
ditor, the valuation in the city will
be $5S,115, ,031. Here is a So
900, 900 boost in valuation by the
assessors and now the council in
tends to boost the levy two mills.
This will catch the taxpayer both
going and coming.
The council schedule was based
on an increase of only about $5,-
600, 900, so If It adheres to its in
tention of a IA mill levy, 1t will
get about $4,000 more than II
really expected. If 1t cuts the levy
down to IL mills 1t will have to
cut out the $4,000 for a fireboat
and eliminate some of the other
extravagances 1t has on its list.
The creation of new jobs and in
crease of salaries has put the
council in a hole, the increase in
the payroll absorbing more than
the increase in the taxes.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 2S.
DIR. Cook is banking on Harry
Whitney and it looks as IL DIR.
Cook had made good selection.
The eyes of the world will soon
be turned on Whitney. All the
shivers this young man of 38 has
had in the polar regions would
compare with the shudders he will
have when he discovers that the
|limelight is turned on him.
"Harry's caught at last" they
laugh in New Haven.
Down at Louie Heublein's cafe,
a famous layout where Harry used
to hang out with Yale chaps. they
all say: Gee whiz! What's he to
do when the reporters get after
him? And he II see his name in
the paper!" And they all laugh be-
cause Harry SHES at publicity.
"But he'll be dead game" they
add.
You can't say that Harry actu-
ally hates civilization. But he acts
as If he does. He is only 3S years
old, but he has spent 20 years of
his life in Gods open air, in the
widest places he can find.
The climax of his live for the
wildness of nature was his trip to
Etah.
Harry came by his longing for
wildness honestly enough. His
father, Stephen, son of old Henry
whitney, was club man and ad-
venturer, and a lover of hunting.
Harry, the first boy in the family,
began to chafe at restraint when
he was 18 years old. The morning
bells at Yale didn't appeal to him.
He simply wouldn't go to school.
His family had millions, but he
wanted to be cowboy. So he went
into the cattle business in Mon
tana. But that wasn't exciting
enough for him. He never went
around his ranch until roundup
time, and then no led in the wild
est cowboy chases.
He heard that hunting was good
In Florida, SO he shot alIigators
there. Then he got a chance to go
seal fishing in Nova Scotia, the
most exciting sport in the north.
He went with Capt. Samuel Bart
lett on the Algerine in 1900, and
after that the call of the north en-
tered his blood.
One day In 1907 Whitney was
chatting with some boon compan-
ions in q New York club, when
polar hunting became the tonic.
Frank Carnegie. nephew of An
drew. mentioned the fact that
Peary was willing to take half a
elozen club men up north to hunt
when he started out on HIS north

Neglected
Wife,; Now
She's Dead
Frank w. Smith, Sent to Jail for
Drunkenness and Non-Support,
Learns of Demise of Woman He
Had Failed to Provide For.

Olive Smith, aged 35, wife of
Frank Smith, who was sentenced
to a six-months' term in the coun-
ty Jail last week for neglecting
her, died this morning at the
county hospital of tuberculosis.
When she appeared in court to
testify against her husband, Mrs.
Smith was so weak and i'll that
she could scarcely walk. She was
taken into the care of the associat-
ed charities and the next day was
taken to the hospital.
Smith was arrested last Tues
day for neglecting and failing TO
provide for his wife. He is said
to have taken her last cent and
spent 1t for drink. She was liv-
Ing in a tent on Tenth and G
streets in the hope of improving
her health and here she was lett
by her husband without fire or
food, while he went to Seattle and
became intoxicated.
Justice Card sentenced Smith to
six months but stated that at the
end of thirty days he would be
released and given chance to
brace up and take care of his
wife. He was released from the
jail this afternoon and will prob
ably be allowed his freedom dur
ing good behavior. Humane Of
ficer Van Voris has taken charge
of Smith and will attempt to re-
form him
When told of the death of his
wife by Deputy Sheriff Stenso this
morning Smith broke down COM
pletely. and wept violently. He
declared when on trial that lie
would never again touch a drop of
liquor and this morning he re-
