PHONE SCRAP GETS
STUCK IN FEDERAL
COURT

Through the interference OF
the city council. the city must now
try out the Bell telephone fran
chise controversy in federal
court instead of the state courts
Judge Donworth, after argu-
ment yesterday afternoon. re-
fused to grant an injunction to
the telephone company to prevent
the city from beginning suit in the
state courts, but, as the case is
now in federal court. it will be
tried out there on the merits OF
the controversy.
The city attorneys had all the
papers ready to file in the super
Tor court, where the matter could
have been speedily disposed of,
when Councilman John NJ. Bell
came into council meeting and
had the attorneys stopped from
going ahead until the council
could look into it again.
In the meantime the company
got busy and started the suit in
federal court. 1t may drag along
for years in this court, and in the
meantime the company keeps
right on doing bushes here with
out any franchise, according to
the city's contention.

it is to be put in the park. When
the board was asked for ground
in South park yesterday the men,

South Tacoma, the n. p. railway

raise more money to add to the
$4,000 given by the city, so as to
make a building that will be a
credit to the park.
The matter was laid over to
see what can be done.
