MURDER
Chinese Lover of Pretty
German Actress Kills
Her and Then Ends
His Own Life

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
BERLIN, Aug. 6.-The tables
are turned today on the German
press which SO bitterly criticised
American women for unnatural
relations with men OF other races"
during the agitation which follow
ed the murder of Elsie Sigel by
q Chinese in New York recently.
When the news, came today
from Frankfort that q variety
actress named Hoffman, of much
beauty and wide popularity. had
been killed by a Chinese lover who
then committed suicide, the edi-
TORS as well as the entire city re-
ceived shock.
Tiem Yon, the Chinese, is said
to have paid devoted attention to
the actress during her recent ap-
parance here. She tired of him
and secretly went to Frankfort.
From there she wrote to him say
ing that she would not return.
Tien took the f1rst train to Frank
fort and tracing her whereabouts,
called at her apartments.
A quarrel followed and the
Celestial fired three bullets into
the girls body. He then sent two
into his own brain.

DIRT DISAPPEARS;
CAN'T BE FOUND
Presidents Call Meeting

Commissioner McGregor was
called down to Fifteenth street
this morning where carload OF
dirt had disappeared from under
the stone pavement below court A.
Several yards of good Eolid
ground has mysteriously disap-
peared and formed a great cave
under the street. The cause OF
the cave is a break in the water
main. The pipe had large noIe
in 1t and the water pouring out
evidently washed the cave out but
the puzzling question is where did
the dirt GO?
The Commissioners says he is
stumped and no one else is able
to figure 1t out. 1t will take
several wagon loads to fill up the
place. 1t is large enough for
man to walk in and is 20 fest
long.

vIADUCT PLAN Is
DELAYED 2 YEARS

The compromise viaduct bill OF
the viaduct committee was finish
ed and adopted yesterday at the
final meeting of the viaduct COM
mittee, but 1t will not be presented
to the legislature at the special
session.
1t would leave the matter of
paying for the vfaduct open. II
the city council agreed the whole
cost might be saddled ON the city.
II not, part of 1t might be paid
by the city and part by assessment
on the property and part on rail-
ways using the viaduct or bene-
fittinv by It.
This schem of leaving the meth
cd of financing the proposition
got the endorsement of the tide
land owners who have been fight
ing to have the city as whole
pay for the benefit to their private
property. II they can get the thing
through they will still have a
chance to work on the council and
get their private property Inn
proved at the expense Of the home
owners of the city.
II Is conceded the legislature
will not tackle the matter this sea-
son and it will probably lay over
until the regular session before
being presented. This means a
couple of years delay at least In
the viaduct program.

BIG SAVING
ON COUNTY
PRINTING
WORK TO BE DONE AT II
CENTS, AS AGAINST 80 PAID
BY METTLER AND PETER
SON LAST YEAR.

The county printing contract
was today awarded to the Puyal-
lup Republican at an average rate
of IL cents per inch, as against a
rate of 55 cents paid to the Week
ly Ledger last year. The Weekly
Ledger bid SIS cents again this
year. and Peterson showed his
loyalty by moving that the high
bid be accepted.
Commissioner Dickson, who last
year fought against the high bid
der, then moved that it be given
to the lowest bidder, which was a
little weekly printed in Tacoma.
Mettler then moved that 1t be
given to tho Puyallup Republican,
and Mr.. Dickson jumped at the
chance to second the motion, and
thus prevent Mettler and Peter
son from again combining to give
it to the Ledger as they did last
year.
The lowest bidder offered to do
the printing for 12h cents per
inch.

The city has increased more

per cent, business generally has
increased more than that, and yet
the street railway earnings have

TOXIC, Aug. 6.--Japan handed
IN her ultimatum to the Chinese
government today regarding her
position on the Antung Mukden
railway. The ultimatum intimat-
ed strongly that Japan felt herself
free to act in the matter provided
China and Japan could not agree

reconstruction of the line.
It is understood that China like

question and It is hopeless to ex-
pect the governments to reach an
understanding and Cooperate ID

During all the years that

During all the years that
the T. r. & P. has been re-
quired to pay in 2 per cent of
Its gross earnings to the city
under its franchises, no city
official has ever inspected the
company's books to determine
whether or not the city has
been given its share.
I'VE have trusted the COM
pany," said a city official to-
day. THAT may not be good
business, at least / don't think
private concerns would be that
considerate on such a matter,
but nevertheless, it has been
done"
In view of the slight in
crease shown in the street car
company's earnings for the
last six months, filed yester-
day, the city council may de-
eide that 1t would be good
business on its part to find
out whether or not the city is
getting its full two per cent.

CAPE TOWN. Cape Colony,
Aug. 6.-Though two warships
have been searching the sea since
yesterday in the hope of discover
ing the steamship Waratah, which
carried 500 passengers bound for
this port, no sign of the vessel
has been seen and the fear that
the steamer has sunk and her pas
sengers drowned is growing into
feeling of certainty.
In the city and surrounding set
Elements deep gloom prevails as
many persons on board the steam

In addition to the warships
searching the seas, beach patrols
have been dispatched to examine
the coast line and ascertain IL the
vessel beached or any wreckage
washed ashore.
1t is no weleven days since the
Warath left Durham for Cape Town

to make the voyage.
The second day out the vessel

Three more bodies, all of whom

What chicago Papers Saw.

What Ch1cago Papers Say.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.1The local
morning papers, after exhaustive
reviews of the tariff emasure, are
unanimous today in the belief that
the new law does not give the con-
sumer what he should have,
though they look upon 1t as a
material improvement over the
Dingley bill.
In part. the Record-Herald
says:
Senator Beveridge did we'll to
reintroduce the tariff commission
bill. We fancy that the "event"
will demonstrate the iced or
pressing 1t and we fancy that AID
rich and company will not be
found smoothing the way for bus
iness-like and scientific tariff-mak-
ing in the future.
The Inter-Ocean in summing up
the measure says:
1t does not adequately reduce
the tariff rates, vet it brings re-
lief.
