Richard Williams, an Indian who
Saturday shot his wife and then
turned the gun on himself to
avoid arrest, created CONSERVATION
in a local undertaking parlor,
where the inquest over his body
was to have been held late yester-
day.
Stretched on bier, accompan-
fed by band of wailing Indians,
Williams body was brought to
Ukiah. While the inquest was
going on the redskin opened his
eyes blinked and grinned. The
coroner and the undertaken re-

Williams was taken to the coun-

1t is thought he will recover.

WASHINGTON. d. C., June 16.
Representative Cushman deliv-
cred flag day" address Monday
evening before the members of the
government printing office Nation
al Union, and awoke yesterday
morning to find that he is "in
bad" Mr.. Cushman in his address
declared that he did not believe
in that sort of patriotism which
led laboring men on one day to
throw their hats In the air In hon.
or of the flag of their country and
then celebrate the day following
by heaving bricks and briquettes
at non-union street car operators
or knocking the scaffolding from
under non -union builders.
Mr.. Cushman probably meant
to qualify his remarks by adding
that of course no one OF his aud
ience would ever do anything like
that, but he failed to do so, and
today Mr.. Cushman il the subject
of some very unfiattering inter-
views given to the local newspa-
pers by local union men.
One of these said that Mr.. Cush-
man evidently had two sets of
speeches, one to be delivered be-
fore non, union gatherings and the
other for use before union audi
ences and that In this case he had
probably gotten his manuscripts
mixed.

s23,949 TO
OPEN Up
STREET
Valuation of All Prop
erty On Sixth Ave.
Is inally Fixed
By Jury

The city completed its condem-
nation in superior court this morn
ing of the property necessary for
the extension of Sixth avenue to
the Wilton waterway and to deep
water on the Narrows. The jury
returned a verdict in favor OF A.
r. Titlow for $6,4S2 and for the
Fidelity Investment company for
1000.
A valuation OF $1,400 an acre.
was placed on the waterfront
property around the Wilton water
way and $3.50 an acre was allowed
for the upland.
At this price the 80 acres the
city some months ago bargained to
take from Titlow at $107, 800,
would have cost by condemnation.
proceedings $4,000.
This case finishes the work OF
condemnation for Sixth avenue.
In the former cases property was
condemned worth s16,467.36,
which makes the total cost OF
opening the street through from
the present terminus to deep
water $23,949.36.
1t is expected the street will
be pushed right through now and
that steps will be taken to pave 1t
with asphalt as soon as 1t can be
graded.
Work Is now going ahead on
the condemnation proceedings for
the extension of Center street,
which will form the loop with
Sixth avenue.

Some really humorous things
are cropping out OF that charter
revision election of last week and
after all, maybe that cost OF VI
per vote was worth while.
In the first place there were
only 1880 votes cast, and there
were S51 candidates as revealed
by the tabulated returns complet-
ed today by the city clerk.
All Didn't Vote for Themselves.
This would indicate that not
quite all of the fellows who took
part In the election voted for
themselves. There we're over 200,
however, who got but one vote.
This looks a little suspicious and
the one-vote fellows are now out
trying to prove an alibi.
Who Voted for Titlow?
There is A. R. Titlow, for in
stance; he denies that he voted for
himself. He only had one vote,
however, and both Sam Perkins
and Ben Grosseup, "his good
friends" are silent as a clam and
won't tell whether or not they
cast the vote for Titlow. 1t is
generally thought 1t was Sam, how
ever.
Another Suspicious Case.
Charles Drury loomed up large
with one vote. Charley worked
hard for the commission plan and
1t is generally conceded that
Charley Loosie of Old Town was
the man for him. You remember
perhaps some of those things that
Mr.. Loosie called Mr.. Drury at the
last mayoralty election.
Chester Thorne and John 8
Baker, the two bankers, each got
just one vote. They, too, deny
that they voted for themselves and
yet not a union labor man in town
will admit that he voted for either
of the bankers.
How Ex-Mayor Got His IA Votes
George P. Wright declares he
didn't want the job, so 1t is gener-
ally conceded he voted for Colonel
j. ]. Anderson, who got just one
vote.s Wright, being a former
mayor, and having lots of friends
however, was popular and was one
of the high men. He had Ia
votes. But then he had Sam Per
kins, A. M. Richards, Charley
Drury, e. L. Salmson, R. L. Nc
Cormick and other patriots to fall
back on.

Abolish the Metropolitan park
board!
That is the new slogan that is
being sounded in the improve
ment clubs of the city now.
AS announced in the Times last
night, the people are going after
the present park board in Tacoma
and are determined to wipe the
whole thing out and put the
parks back on the simple and
economical basis by which prac-
tically everything the city has in
parks now was secured, before the
present regime was inaugurated.
South Side Unanimous.
Last night the South Side I'm
provement club took up the mat
ter and by unanimous vote 1t was
decided to stand for the abolition
of the Metropolitan park board.
and Pierce county Legislators will
be asked to vote In the special ses-
sion to repeal the law.
West End in Line.
At the West End club meeting
last night the same question was
taken up, with the same result.
The meeting, filled with promi-
nent citizens, voted with practi-
|cally one accord for the repeal OF
the law and the abolition of the
board. In event of the failure
of the Legislature. to give relief
by repeating the law the club de-
manded that action be started in
court at once to try to knock out
the board on the ground that the
law is not constitutional.
Third Warders Angry.
Tomorrow night the Third ward
will be heard from at Valhalla
hall.
Third warders are up in arms
over the recent disclosures show
ing how the park board slipped in
Ia sleeper to amend the park law,
allowing the members to vote
themselves the public money. They
are demanding the wiping out of
the whole board and replacing ii
with the old system of a non-po-
litical, unsalaried board.
More evidences of extravaganza
are being daily brought to light
by citizens investigating the park
board.
How Money Goes.
While the old board got along
with a superintendent who built
the park system on a salary OF
500 and finally $3.50 a month in
the last end of his reign, the new
board IS said to be paying 1925
a month for superintendent, and
then adding $500 a month for
President Bennett, making $525 a
month for the work that formerly
cost 500.
There promises to be some
spicy comment at the Valhalla
hall meeting tomorrow night.

Police Officers
Will Get Raise,
Captains Lose
Letter from Chief Informs Officers
They Have Nice Gift in Store
from City.

Everybody. but the three captains. is
happy.
The patrolmen, sergeants and detectives
had the finest kind OF a ChriEt mas present
handed them yesterday afternoon when
Chief Of Police Donahue announced tina
their December salary would be based on the
raise fixed by the legislature at it's last
session. This means that every patrolman
will receive a S. raise in his December
salary, and each detective and sergeant
will receive a so raise. beginning this
month.
When the legislature passed the bill pro-
viding for Increased salaries for patrolmen,
sergeants and detectives, but eliminating
the police and detective captains, It was
to have become effective on July L A
perusal Of the city budget showed that, in
order to make the increased salaries, Il
would be necessary to materially reduce
the force, so a blanket agreement was
made and signed by all whom the new law
the increase until the city finances per-
mitted all Of the patrolmen, detectives and
'sergeants being treated alike. The result
has been that for five months the guardians
Of the peace have gone along on their old
salaries.
1t was not thought the raise would come
before January. but Chief COM
municatLon puts a new light on the matter
and there is now cause for general re-
joicing. except as above stated, for the
captains. who do not figure in the raise.
