I reverted to the subject of Mrs. Ald- rich's studies with Madame Rive King and she was quite enthusiastic about her work for the summer and said many in teresting things of Madame King which l wish I had time to relate. But what she did not relate, and I knew full well was, that Madame King considers her one of her most gifted pupils and that her future, musicatiy, is tremendously fatter- ing and all of Birmingham is watching her with the keenest interest.

If not do so at once. The good things are going
fast. Real price sensations await you.
Chickering, Story & Clark, Fischer, Schubert Kim

the makes included.

After looking over the large
assortment of used pianos includ-
ed in this sale, you will, as have
others who have Investigated, say
that the equal has never before
been seen. 1t certainly is with
out the shadow of doubt the
greatest array of used pianos
ever before offered.
Greatest because of the compre-
hensve variety of makes-great-
lest because Of the splendid con-
dition of the pianos (many like
new, and greatest because of the
low prices at which all
will be closed out.
The most of these instruments
have been taken in exchange for
Pianola Pianos and Baby Grand
Chickering's, and have come from
some of the very best homes of
Tacoma, and are naturally a much
better grade than is to be found
in the average lot of secondhand

Shall Tacoma use the granitoid
paving which former Engineer
Davis Investigated in the East and
recommended as a substitute for
the soft sandstone which is wear

The question provoked hot
discussion in the commissioner

from Ninth to Thirteenth was up.

possessed of physique similar to
that of Jim Jeffries, when asked
today why he took a dose OF BIZ

O'Loughifn was taken to the

he visited he found horses slipped
less on the granatoid than other
pavements. But Murphy insisted
granatoid wouldn't do. Other
contractors, all excepting Williams,
who was low bidder on sandstone,
all got I'm the row and things be-
came pretty warm.
The contractors seemed deter
mined to shut out the new pave
mennt, as It would require them
to either pay the granatoid paving
company a royalty or not bid on
the work. McGregor insisted they
could take the specifications and
bid on what was called for without
any royalty.
He finally held up the award
for further investigation.
The commissioner awarded the
contract for grading South 46th
street from Sheridan to Mckinley
to w. H. Kicker for s29,163, and
Tignanelli and Paine got the job
of laying water mains in the Coul-
ter addition for $14,998.

that he was getting girls for the
stage.
The witness identified the short
dog whip, introduced by Jerome.
as the one used by Thaw. She
said that some of the girls were
dressed and some of them partly
dressed when whipped by Thaw.
"Thaw always hurried away
when caught him whipping
girls, said the witness. Ell told
him he must leave the house or
stop 1t. He said they deserved to
be whipped because J they didn t
know enough to go on the stage.
The girls screamed terribly when
he whipped them on the bare
skin"
Evelyn Thaw, who attended
court today, smiled cynicaYly when
she heard this testimony.
Morschauser and Thaw appear
ed to be dumbfounded when Je-
rome sprang this surprise on
them.

Still firm for big salaries, but
admitting fear of what the people
would do to its new charter the
revision committee last might
made concession to public opin-
ION, as voiced by the Times, by
Topping $4,000 on its former con-
templated figures for city OFFICIALS,
The mayor was reduced from
5000 to 81, 900, councilmen from
$4,000 to $1,000 and controller
from $4,000 to $4,000.
At this rate figuring the treas
urer at $1,000 also the new Of
acials would cost the city $4,000.
The council, mayor, controller and
treasurer now cost but $1,000 SO
the way the committee has II
framed up the new plan will cost
for salaries just $4,000 more
than the present system.
The committee, however, Is con-
sidering abolishing the treasurer
entirely and having the council
man of finance serve in this place.
This would reduce the salary list
to $20,S00, which would be not
quite twice what 1t costs the city
now.
Salaries Still Too High.
The reduction from the former
figures of the committee are hard
ly as much as citizens generally
expected. Considerable sentiment
has developed for salaries of about
$4,000 for mayor and $4,000 for
the councilmen and the advocates
Of this standard declare they will
guarantee to have plenty of good
men for the places at those fig
