POWER CD.
IS GOOD
NOW
Trust Offers City Half
cent Rate if Load
Factor Can Be Raised
to Twenty Five Per
Cent
MUNICIPAL POWER PLANT RE.
SPONSIBLE FOR REMARK
ABLY LOW FIGURE.

The Seattle-Tacoma Power COM
pany is as good as it can be. 1t
presented a bid to the city today
to supply the city with 1900 ad-
ditiona1 horsepower of current to
carry the city over the heavy load
next winter at the old rate of IA
cents per kilowatt and then sent
in a supplementary letter offering
to furnish the city with all the
current it gets under all its con-
tracts for the low price of n cent
a kilowatt If the city will just get
in the game and boost its load
factor up to 20 per cent.
Load Factor Now % u.
The load factor is now about
22A per cent, so 1t looks as If the
half cent rate is not a thing en-
tirely outside the pale of posi-
bility.
City Electrician Lauzon by care
full attention to the lines and to
the business has in the past year
done much to boost the load fac
tor and 1t is believed the 25 per
cent mark can be attained in an
other year with little change in
the policy of the business end.
1t is proposed to advance the
minimum rate on the large pa
irons.
Now the city is supplying
Nernst and arc lamps to business
houses with practically no mini
mum rate. In Seattle, where priv
ate lighting largely prevails, a
high minimum rate is put on these
big consumers and the result is
they burn their lamps more and
this boosts the load factor.
Electrician Lauzon suggested a
change in this direction last year.
Lushington Explains.
Mr.. Lushington, local represen-
tative of the Seattle-Tacoma Pow
er company, this morning explain
ed the whole proposition to Mayor
Linck and Commissioner McGre-
gor and 1t is likely the matter will
be taken up In the council and
steps taken to increase the load.
In the supplementary letter to
ClJy Iu0 CSottiC-l oSOlhh
Power company suggested that the
city would now be able to sell
power to manufacturers and that
1t could offer current for manufac-
turing as low as 65-100 cent per
kilowatt If 1t gets the load factor
up to the 25 per cent mark.
The city will see II it can reach
it and il It can be done light and
power rates can be materially re-
duced In the city.
The power trust claim this
proposition is made in good faith
to the city. All of which indi-
Gates just how good and accom-
modating a trust can be when 1t
sees a city start to build a power
plant for itself.
The new bid for power with the
whole proposition will be referred
by the commissioner to the coun-
Gil.

SAN FRANCISCO, April &C.
Herman Ridder, treasurer of the
democratic national committee,
through an agent, offered to pay
5000 and guarantee immunity
to Broughton Brandenburg, who
is in prison here, IL he would "tell
the truth" regarding the famous
posthumous Cleveland letters
which he is accused of forging,
according to a statement made to
the United Press today by Brand
enburg.
The offer was made through F.
G. Lewis, confidential secretary OF
Norman e. Mack, at Dayton, o.,
October 20. 1908, while Branden-
burg was at liberty on bail, ac-
cording to his statement.
Brandenburg may surrender the
custody of his little stepson,
James Shepard Cabanne III, to his
father who is now on his way here
from the East. According to a
statement made by Brandenburg
today, a compromise may be ef-
fected upon his arrival.
That Brandenburg's alleged ab-
duction of the lad from his St.
Louis home is approved by the
boys mother is apparent from a
telegram received from her last
night. The message was address
ed to Brandenburg and read as
follows:
"Heartbroken. Don't give baby
up. I must have him."

palace, was assured today when
Grand Vizier Tewfik Pasha ten
dered to parliament the resigna-
ton of himself and the entire cab
met. Ferid Pasha Is looked upon
as the most probable successor OF
Tewfik Pasha as grand vizier.
The poll of parliament upon the
resignation of the cabinet showed
almost unanimous sentiment that
the deposition of Sultan Abdul
Hamid was necessary.
The poll indicates that Abdul's
reign has come to Its end. The
sultan is a prisoner In his palace

His harem, sons and necessary
servants have been allowed to re-
main within the palace but he II
not allowed to confer with any
of his former ministers.
European officials are the only
persons allowed entrance to the
palace. Four thousand reactions
aries, including hundreds of mem-
bers of religious orders, have been
placed under guard as military
prisoners by the invaders.
No attempt to formulate q set
tied policy will be made for Sow
eral days. The assembly today
decided to grant the request OF
Cheftik Pasha, who led the Young
Turks to victory, that he be all
lowed a free hand for time. The
administrative power is thus tenn
porarily placed in the hands okthe
military general staff.
The city is calm today althoUfh

remained loyal to the sultan are

Youthful Imitators Fail Down IN
First Raid and Must Appear IN
Juvenile Court.

Armed with two pistols and ammuni-
ton of paper caps. and with their minds
stored with the lore of "Deadwoed
Dick" ne-Fingered Mike" and others
of that clique, Claude Sadler, Leonard

respectively. yesterday started out TO
emulate the heroes of their dreams.
Their adventuresome spirits, however.
were dampened at the very first and
completely broken before they had got
fairly started. It was with much hu-
initiation that they discovered that
Deadwood Dicks code does not fit the
conditions prevailing on Jan. % 1909,
Armed as they were, fully ACQUIRED
for their dash, they made their first at
tack on the Elks' club, securing there
as booty a quantity of electric light
shades and globes. This was easily con-
vertible into the needed cash for their
further schemes. but-aEd here's where
the whole thing went wrong-DeadwOOd
Dick and his companions never had to
deal with Officer J. Riley. And it was
Riley who proved the undoing of Dead
woods young devOtees and followers.
When Riley appeared on the scene the
desperadoes had to give in, and today
they will be ushered into a scene totally
unfamiliar to Dick-the juvenile court.
