SALARY BOOST
. GERM WORKS
OVERTIME


The Announcement of teh inten:
ton of the committee on Officials
in the council to boost the pay OF
the policemen about $500 a
year has caused other officials
about the city ham to prick ur
their ears. AN the boys want
raises now. Controller Meads
says his expert bookkeepers are
certainly entitled to more pay and
City Treasurer Freeland mas a man
he says is worth $3.50 a month
who is only getting $50.
Other officials are pointing out
inequalities in salaries. The city
attorney has a stenographer who
knows more law than most law
yers and who is a very valuable
assistant in the Office. She gets
only SIS a month.
The SALARY boost germ has
caught the whole city hall and the
committee is trying to fix a time
for meeting when the various en-
ppoyes will not know about it, SO
they cannot make a fuss.

SCRANTON, Miss, June Il
Wind, resulting | ma ohoppy sea,
caused reversal of the plans for
the ceremonies today attendant
upon the presentation by the state
of silver service to the battleship
Mississippi. The ceremony COM
menced at 1890 O'Clock this
morning. Gov. Edmond F. Noel
of mississippi delivered the pres
|entation address, Captain Fremont
responding upon behalf of the ship
au1d the men.
Governor Jared Y, Sanders of
Louisiana and John Sharp Will
iaI1s participated in the ceremony.
All ceremonies took place on
shere, and unless the sea subsidies
before night. 1t is probable that no
attempt VIII be made to transfer
the silver to the ship. In that
event 1t will be taken to Philadel-
|Fhia and taken aboard without
|formai!ity.
The waves were so high that
the officers of the battleship were
brought ashore with difficulty.
They made the trip in whale
boats and many were so badly
drenched that they were forced to
appear at the casino at Anderson
park i'm civilian attire.

AT THE PANTAGES.

Bonner" the wonderful edu-
Gated horse, Is the feature act at
the Pantages this week, and II
would not be flattering or undue
praise to say that the amazing
animal is the most intelligent
dumb beast ever presented to a
Tacoma audience. That Bonner
thinks is without a doubt, for
some of his displays of intelli-
'gence are little less than phenom-
email. Imagine a horse that can
write words, draw pictures, write
figures and perform examples in
arithmetic by using a slate and a
chalk held in his mouth! And
then, the animal answers questions
|propounded by the audience, and
does innumerable other things that
many children of eight years could
not do.
A quartette of singers, dancers
and musicians that has a new lire
of vaudeville dope appears at the
Pantages under the name of Bor-
den, Zeno, and Hayden brothers.
The act is fine, but is marred by
the ridfculously long and silky
hair of one of the brothers. Hair
cuts are "two-bits" in Tacoma.
Leroy, who has a cleverly ar
ranged female impersonation act,
received voluble applause last
night just because he managed to
fool the audience, until he pulled
off his wige at the close of the act.
Robert Bertram & Co. tell a
very pretty story in their playlet,
1.-THE Story of the Rose The act
is we'll presented.
Richards Brothers, bar acrobts,
have several spectacular acts that
are new.
Bert Vincent departs this week
from the stage-worn run of pic
ture sings, and gives a sweet little
ballad called "Sunbonnet Sue.s'
The song is well-illustrated and
exceptionally well sung.

AT THE GRAND

Aside from her reputation as
being the neice of the martyred
president, Miss Mabel Mckinley
who sings at the Grand thi week
is we'll worth walking several city
blocks to hear. Her rich soprano
voice is well modulated and full
and the songs that she sings are OF
such variety and sweetness that
they cannot fail to please even the
dullest audience. She plays her
own accompaniment for two
pieces in a most artistic fashion.
1t is hard to understand how
Cooke and Rothert make hit.
Their act is nonsensical tumble of
singing, rapid fire jokes and dane
ing, yet they made the biggest hit
of anything on the bill at last
nights performance. In their pre-
sentation of the famous Lies
Apaches" dance-which is more of
burlesque of the dance than any
thing else, they have eliminated
practically all that is coarse. Miss
Rothert's costume might be agree
ably corrected, however.
George Kean sings, "The Call
of the West" better known in
Tacoma as you'll Like Tacoma"
The song was written and illus
trated in Tacoma, and is one of
the distinct favorites on the bill.
Francesca Redding & Co. ap-
pear in a bit of nonsense entitled
Her Friend From Texas" 1t
has a good plot, but is mingled
with suggestive lines.
Robzart, who is p man in full
dress on one side, and a lady in
evening gown on the other, pre-
sented himself in a series of duets
last night and received good APP
plause.
Emmett & Lower, in a kid" act
are good.

QUEER CHARGE
IS MADE

For striking e. e. Morrison, col
ored, on the head with bottle OF
carbolic acid, and burning him
about the face and next, George
Walton, also colored, was arrested
to-day by Constable Fred Shaw
Morrison. according to his story
met Walton Saturday night In
Opera alley. Walton became
angry at some small matter, and
struck the complainant on the
head with the acid bottle, says
Morrison.
Walton was highly indignant
when asked about the offense. He
said that his colored friend met
him in the alley and persisted in
holding the tip of his finger
against his (Walton's) nose. This
angered him, he said, and he was
justified in retaliating.

TAFT LIKES IDEA, SO We MAY ALL
GET UP At 5 A. N. NEXT YEAR

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Get
up at 5 o'clock in the morning!
President Taft likes the idea. If
the people of the United States
like it, too, he'll issue orders next
spring to fix the clocks. The idea
is to set them ahead two hours on
May 1 and leave them this way UNI
til Oct. 1.
E. HI. Murdoch, fellow citizen
of the president in Cincinnati, won
Taft's interest and has organized
the National Daylight association,
the purpose of which Is to discover
whether the American people real
ly want to get up two hours earlier
on summer mornings.
1--WE follow the clock foolishly,
in the summer" says Murdoch.
seThe sun rises at 4 O'Clock, yet we
sleep ON during the two finest
hours of the day. II we push the
time ahead two hours, We would
all rise at o'clock, though we
would call the hour z. The man
who followed this plan would get
vhrough work two hours earlier
than he does now, say at In the
afternoon. This would give him
many hours of daylight, for real
recreation. He could easily go to
the bali games. The games could
start at 6 O'Clock and run until
8. 1t would still be daylight at 8
because 8 would be 6, by our time.
Under the new plan the aver
age person would go to bed about
8 or 8 O'Clock.
Think of the hours of hot con-
finement the children would es-
cape In school. They would go
home atss o'clock, but that would
be what Is now o'clock.
There would be more time for
recreation in daylight. The system
would put . new value on parks
