COUNTY TO AID
DESTITUTE
FAMILY

Through the leniency Of Judge
yesterday of the superior court
and the good will of the prosecut-
ing attorneys office, M. j. Muir
fitch, recently indicted by the
grand jury and brought to Taco
ma from Point Richmond, CAL,
under the charge of embezzlement,
will be released within the next
few days to provide for his desti-
tute wife and child.
Mrs. Murfiich, with her IL
|month-old infant in her arms, fol-
lowed her husband from Point
Richmond, and arrived i'm Tacoma
without funds or friends. The
county commissioners have pro-
vided for her during the past
week.
Since investigating the case
thoroughly, the county attorneys
|say that Murfiich was driven to
theft in order to provide for his
wife, and that, although he is
guilty in the eyes of the law, they
are willing to let Justice take a
hand in the solution of the matter.

WW Taf Veto TariG9

WASHINGTON, d. c., May ~
will President Taft veto the
tariff bill?
| With chances that he will, and a
possibility that he will not-this
Question is turning Washington
upside down.
Either way it is embarrassing
for Mr.. Taft.
A veto on the Aldrich- Cannon
bill rebukes congress and leaves
the whole tariff mess hanging in
the air.
Failure to veto puts the Taft
approval on the work of congress
work certain to be disapproved
by large majority Of the voting
population.
Congress has failed to revise the
tariff downward. Senator Aldrich
says boldly that no promise ever
was made to revise the tariff
downward. And he quotes the re-
publican platform in support OF
his contention.
President Taft cannot fall back
on the doubtful platform utter
|ance. He is on record. In his let
ter of acceptance, he said:
"The tariff in q number oil
schedules exceeds the difference
between the cost of production OF
such articles abroad and at home,
Including a reasonable profit to
the American producer. The ex.
Icess over the difference serves nc
useful purpose, but offers q temp
ltation to those who would mOnop-
ollie the production and sale 'Of
such articles in this country to
profit by the excessive rate"
In other words, the tariff
needs revising downward.
What Senator Aldrich said was:
"When did the republican par
Ity make any such promise? The
Republican party In its platform
Ibid not promise to revise the tar
liff downward; it promised revision
|by fixing rates equal to the cost
|of production at home and abroad,
land providing q reasonable profit
Ito the American manufacturer"
What the republican platform
|said was this:
1.-THE republican party declares
|unequivocalIy for a revision of the
tariff by q special session Of con-
|gress Immediately following the
TRANSFORMATION Of the new president.
LIN all tariff legislation the true
Iprincipss Of protection IL best
maintained by the imposition Of
such duties rs win equal the DIFF.
ference at home and abroad, to.
|gether with o reasonable profit q
American industries"
This platform declaration IL du-
|bfous. It was no doubt intended
Ito be so.
But President Taft's declaration
lis not capable OF any double mean.
ling. He says the tariff Of the
|DinEIey law Is excessive. and thit
|oxoess encourages monopoly.

TEMPORARY DEPOT
NOW UNDER ROOF

The temporary Northern Pacific
depot Is under roof and Knoell
Brothers, the contractors, say it
will be ready for business May
23, when the Great Northern
starts its cross country trains from
Tacoma.
There are as many men on the
building as can work there COM
fortably and everything is being
rushed.
A shaft is being sunk at the site
Of the new depot, near Pacific ave-
nue., to ascertain the structure of
the ground beneath, with a view
to determining what kind of foun-
dation can be secured. AS soon
as this is finished the plans for
the depot will be given to con-

on attending every social function

parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Townsend

have come to London. They are
now looking for a suitable house

dances. Miss Evelyn Burden is al

her father amassed great fortune
in coal. She is more American in
than English, and
bears striking resemblance to the
late Lady Curzon.
Hostesses are not likely to meet
with the usual difficulty of getting
sufficient men to attend their
dances this season, as there has
never been such scintillating ar
ray of heiresses in town before.
