" OMAN SPIES ON

case Of Mrs. Effie Duden, under

Mrs. Bronson was confined IN
the same cell with Mrs. Duden
and is said to have gained her
confidence. Mrs. Duden has abso-

SEATTLE, Feb. 17.-Edward
Stubley, an Englishman, was ar
rested here yesterday and is now
held at police headquarters charg-
ed with being the man who has
for months been playing upon the
feelings of almost penniless faith
ers and mothers in far away towns
and country hamlets, and thereby
procuring money upon which he
has lived in luxury.
His alleged method was to make
friends with a man or woman in
the lowly walks of life and from
him or her learn the home ad-
dress.
Then, using cheap notepaper, he
would write letter to them tell
ing of the pitiable plight of son
or daughter, and begging that
money be sent at once to secure
necessary medical aid.
Requests from sheriffs in many
states asking for the apprehension
OF man of Stubley's description
have led the local police to be-
lieve that the swindle has been ex-
tensively worked.

owners on 18th yesterday pro-

sired. The rest of the work will

NJ GREGOR To PLUG UP ANOTHER
LEAK IN CITY CASH BOX

no fuel bill would be necessary,
as no fire is maintained.
Cutting down the fuel bill only
three-fourths the commissioner
figures 1t would save on fuel
alone $500 a year. In addition
to that the engineer could be dis
pensed with. This would be ST.
200 year more saved, making
$4,000 even. The commissioner
believes that the reduction in the
fuel bill would be more than
three-fourths, as the steam would
fall from 80 to 10 pounds, and
one-third of the year would be
nothing at all. This would run
the saving away above the $4,000
mark.
The cost of operating a motor
by electricity sufficient to run the
elevator would be about 1872 a
according to the figures of
the commissioner. This would be
but 1884 a year.

Tacoma is losing money every
day on the operation of the city
hall elevator, according to the fig
ures of Commissioner McGregor
and he will tonight submit the
matter to the council showing
how about $4,000 can be saved
every year by running the eleva-
tor by electricity instead of
steam.
Now the city has to keep up 80
pounds of steam to run the ele-
vator. This also requires an en-
gineer at 800 month. The
fuel bill for the city hall runs
from STA to $500 a month. At
an average of 5000 1t means ST.
400 year for fuel alone.
If the elevator were run by a
moter instead of having to keep
up 80 pounds steam every day in
the year, 10 pounds would be
enough and In the summer time
there would be four months when
