TIRED OF SCRAP
IN FIRE Dept.

There Is. an evident desire 0on
the part of councilmen to drop the
McAlevy case tonight and 1t is Just
possible the whole thing may be
passed up without any further
action.
The statement of the mayor
that he had nothing to do with
starting the charges is taken as an
indication that he wants to get out
from under the thing and some of
the councilmen who have been
voting with the partisans to shat
ter the civil service are getting
tired of the battle.
There Is nothing In the charter
which compels the council to vote
on the proposition again tonight
and, unless some one makes q
specific motion to GUST the chief
President Hawthorne may forget
the whole matter and let it drop.
The clique that wants to build
up a political machine in the fire
department, however, has been
trying to line up enough men to-
night to Dust the chief and the
attempt may be made again.

The wind was knocked out of
the Bedford tideland suit yester-
day afternoon, when the govern
ment at Washington formally
! withdrew from the action and de-
clared 1t would not be party to

Attorney e. E. Cushman, who
represented some of the defend
ants, received a telegram from
Congressman Cushman ANNOUNCE

ends that litigation
The latter statement may not be
literally true. for Bedford just
yesterday mailed assignments in
error to Washington to appeal the
case to the supreme court.
II he takes 1t up now, however,
ne will do SO against the advice
of the attorney general and with
out the cooperation of the in
terror department and the with
drawal Of the government, it is
believed, will knock the props
largely from under Grosscup and
Bedford.
Local lawyers declare that I'M
less Bedford and Grosscup drop
the suit now it will appear on
their part as positive hold-up
game for the purpose of blocking
development In this city. Law
yers generally declare there is alb
Bolutely no chance whatever for
them to ever get decision in the
case, and any further litigation
willsb simply hindering the city
of Tacoma.
1t is expected strong local pres
sure will be brought to bear on
them to stop the attack on the
city's progress in view of the new
situation.

COURT PAvES WAY
FOR SIXTH AVE.
OPENING

The supreme court yesterday
cleared the way for the opening
of Sixth avenue to the Narrows.
The city has already condemned
most of the land necessary, but
A. R. Titlow objected to the street
going over the tidelands into deep
water. The city held that this
might be done and the supreme
court upheld this contention.
The condemnation case against
Titlow will now be heard and the
damages decided. The street will
then be opened and will be paved
clear to the water. 1t is hoped
this work can be done yet this
summer.

Dry Town to Have
Free Cider Cistern

ZOAR, O., May ia cistern
of cider is to be the thirst quench-
err of the citizens of Zoar. A &C.
ment cistern with a capacity of
about 100 barrels, located on the
public square, is being cleaned out
and will be filled with apple Juice
next fall.
The cistern was used for this
purpose years ago when the Zoar
Communist society was in exist
ence, but for some time has not
been in use.
The communists were mostly
Germans, and the town had no OBJ
jections to saloons, but the coun-
ty voted it dry. So the citizens
have determined to restore the old
cider cistern. A pump will be in
stalled and the liquid will be free
to all.

THE TACOMA TINES
LECTURER PLEADS
FOR CLEAN
MILK

Put the water and milk supplies
Of the people under the direct
control of the state board of
health, Is the recommendation of
DR.. Philip Mills Jones of Califor-
mia, who spoke last night at the
Commercial club under the aus
pices of the American Medical as
ISOLATION.
In Switzerland, he said, the gov
eminent has charge of the milk
and water supplies and there is no
infection through milk.
Americans think more of a hog
than a boy. according to the doc
tor. He says the government
spends millions to find ways to
stamp out disease among domestic
animals, but 1t has never yet spent
a cent to wipe out human disease.
DR.. Jones declared the doctors
are doing great work for human
ity.

war in Europe. The rulers have
got plenty to do at home to keep
the lid on the revolutionary pro-
letariat, who, besides demanding
the right to combine to raise
wages and fix hours of toll, are
aiming to acquire control of the
various governments and dump
out all the privileged psrsonages
and force them to go to work. The
Young Turks have been in COM
munication with the International
Socialist bureau, with headquar-
tiers at Brussels, and through
whic hbureau all the European la
Dor organizations, political and in
dustrial, are affiliated. There are
many points in agreement between
the Young Turks and the social
lists, and while the latter, who have
a fighting force of representatives
In every parliament In Europe, are
guarded in their utterances, 1t is
certain that they promised their
moral support to the Turkish rev.
olutionists, even to the point of
precipitatfng coup d etat in any
country whose rulers attempted to
come to the rescue of the old re-
gime In Turkey.
Many Americans who pride
themselves on keeping abreast of
the times perhaps hardly realize
the portentious changes that are
impending across the Atlantic. Old
regimes and dynasties are crum-
bling before the new worldwide,
ambitious and militant movement
of democracy. Political, econom-
ic, social and even religious prin-
ciples that have been thought sa-
cred and immune from attack are
being boldly challenged by the
modern democracy, and the fact
that Turkey, formerly the most
backward nation, is in the van
guard indicates that the new day
is rapidly dawning when privi-
lege will pass from the earth.

The political revolution in Tur-
key is firing all Europe. Royalty
and the privileged classes are
making strenuous efforts to pre-

Constantinople from spreading

King Edward is said to have
advised Premier Clemenceau to
stamp out the sentiment of organ
ization in the government serv-
fee, as 1t would lead to "aanrchy.'
1t is doubtful whether Edward
gave such advice, for not only are
many British government work

The latter will be required to join
trade boards, composed of govern
ment officials, employers and
workmen, with power to fix wages,
hours, etc. Then, again, the Lib
eral party seems to have accepted
the principal immediate demands
of the socialistic labor party. The
privileged class is to be taxed to
the limit to furnish work for the
unemployed, pay old age pensions,
government insurance, and so
forth, and the London papers re-
fleet the fact that Premier As
quith's budget, reported a few days
ago as meaning socialist" has
created tremendous discussion,
mostly favorable, which will keep
Edward and his crowd busy.

SECRETARY BALLINGER MAKES
LETTER PUBLIC
Department of Interior Gives Reason
for New Departure in Manipu-
lating the Public Lands
Carrying Power Sites
CBy Associated Press.)

SEATTLE, July 16.-Secretary Of the
Interior Ballinger, who has been rep
resented as having reversed the former
policy of the department in the matter
of the withdrawal from sale or entry
of public lands containing power SITES
has written q letter in which ne sets
forth what he has done. Mr.. BalllhSef
says: - a.
"The facts in connection with the
water power Withdrawals are substan-
TALLY as follows:
'I discovered that large areas OF lana
had been withdrawn through the recla-
nation service without any specihc
knowledge of the water power facllitles'
these lands aggregating many thou-
sands acres of agricultural and other
lands withdrawn under blanket sys-
tenn which was based on slight field
knowledge of the existence of the power
sites, and with no funds in the reclama-
tion bureau or any information sum
cient to permit further investigation.
Transferred the Work
Upon ascertaining this fact, deter
mined to transfer this work to the
geological survey, which bureau pos
sesses the data to make temporary
Withdrawals of water power sites suf-
ficient to include all Withdrawals that
in any way affected power sites upon
power domains, for the purpose of
making recommendations to congress
for additional legislation.
"Restorations were made Of the for
mer Withdrawals, and Immediately after
the geological survey furnished the de-
partment data under which all avail
able sites within the former withdraw
ais were secured together with large
additional territory containing valuable
water power sites.
1.-THE area originally withdrawn under
the blanket Withdrawals approximated
1000, 900 acres Under the data fur
nished by the geological survey the
acreage necessary to be withdrawn did
not exceed 10000 acres, showing the
wisdom of the course pursued of not
withdrawing any more lands than were
necessary for the purpose"
