SHOOTING SCARE
AT SUNSET
BEACH

When Louis Andrews, a half
breed living at Sunset Beach, saw
his wife coming home yesterday
afternoon accompanied by
Dutch" Klout, he determined to
put an end to any such recurrence
in the future. And his method
was a sure winner.
Rushing out of the house as
though he were frantic, he COM
menced hollering like an Indian,
at the same time firing two shots
in the air. Dutch" never looked
twice where he was going, but he
was sure he was getting father
and farther away from the An
|drews home. Behind him he heard
two more shots ring out, and that
made him dead sure that Andrews
shot and killed his wife. The
sheriff's office was notified, and
Deputies Tom Desmond and Pete
Steno were sent from Tacoma
But when they got to the Andrews
home, everything looked lovely,
and there being no dead ones
around. they returned home this
morning.

CANDIDATES ALREADY OUT
FOR JOBS UNDER THE
COMMISSION PLAN

1t is not Impossible that sort
of combination may be put up 10
which Lynn, McGregor and Others
of the present ruling power in the
city hall will pull together for a
majority of the commission that
will stand for the present regime
and continue the present water
system.
Although the new charter pro-
hi6its party candidates there is
nothing to prevent politicians
combining to put their own men
in-except the people ON election
day.
There promises to be some tail
log-rolling all the same in the
next few months on the part OF
the fellows who have tasted power
and don't want to give up.
There is a strong sentiment.
however, among the people to de-
mand an entire new deal, when
the new charter goes into effect
and the probabilities are tnat
some strong and substantial citf-
zens will come out and be elected
to I'LL the five responsible pos:-
tions.

Festival" What is behind it, isfs

Festival" What is behind it, is
this:
A little over three years ago,
you could stand on Russian Hill,
in San Francisco and look in
front or to the right or to the left
you could see clear to the bay,
with nothing to obstruct your
view save smoking, crumbled ruins
of once majestic office buildings,
stores, factories = four square
miles of scorching piles of brick,
mortar, stone, twisted steel, a
dreary waste, appalling beyond
words-all that was left of the
commercial heart of the old San
Francisco after earthquake and
fire had finished their work of
horror and destruction.
But though the city was de-
stroyed, the spirit of the pioneers
of the days of 40 lived on. While
the smoke was still rising from
the ruins of the old city. that
city's sons and daughters set them
|selves to the DEMONSTRATING task
of rearing new western metrop-
oils behind the Golden Gate.
For three years San Francisco
has worked, worked hard.
For five days, beginning tomor-
row morning, she's going to play,
play for all she's worth. Tonight
the streets are ablaze, thousands
of lights reflecting red and yell
low, yellow and red, the colors
of the "Portola Festival"
To celebrate the discovery of
San Francisco bay by an old fell
low named Gaspar de Portola,
first Spanish governor of CaHfor-
mia, back in 1769-that is San
Francisco's excuse for the PortoIa
Festival, the nail upon which the
festival is hung.
To tell the world, in her own
characteristic way, with roaring
cannons. blaripg horns, shrieking
whistles, ringing bells, in laugh-
ing, shouting crowds of old men,

Flirting Grossly immoral"
Declares Mrs. c. P. Gilman


(By United Press Leased Wire. }
NEW YORK. Oct. 1s.-"Flirt-
ing is grossly immoral" according
to declarations made by Mrs.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, at the
Rand school, where she delivered
a lecture on Assorted SINS" She
said:
"The woman who flirts is doing
q fiendish work. know beauti-
full girl. perfectly decent and cul-
tured. who took great delight in
urging men on. l could never un-
derstand how she found pleasure
in 1t.
"'oh. IT'S fun she answered,
when / asked her why she did 1t.
Fun to get a man so that he
can't wait another minute before
he embraces you--and then, not
let him. she added gleefufly.
There are thousands like her,
who either don't realize or don't
care about the harm they do"
Mrs. Gilman, few years ago,
earned the sobriquet. "The Truly
Modern Woman" because she as
serted that a m. ried woman
should work like her husband and
should cease adorning herself to
attract men: She also stated that
all mothers should hand their chill
dren over to trained nurses and
s>echers to rear.

With the carrying of the new
charter Saturday lot of activity
has manifested in different quar-
ters Of the city. The politicians
were rather swept off their pins
by the size of the majority for
the new idea and the friends of
good government were much elat-
ed over the prospect.
In several large churches the
pastors took occasion to commend
the city for its advanced step. DR..
Edward Ford in the First Congre-
gational church and Rev. W. A.
Moore of the First Christian both
were enthusiastic over the oppor-
tunity 1t offers the city for pro-
gressive and beneficent govern
ment.
The politicians, however, were
not 50 much engaged. in discuss
ing the benefits to come from the
new government as in the ques-
tion, "Who will RUM"
Indications are there will be
plenty of candidates r<xt spring.
At present there are several
candidates, practically announced.
City Treasurer Freeland, Commits
sioner of Public Works McGregor,
Mayor John w. Nnck and proba-
bly, City Controller Meads will all
be out. the mayor for the mayor
atty, Meads for his present job
and the other two for commits
sionershfps.
Ex-Governor Savage is also be-
ing groomed in the South End
for commissioner.
DR.. Lecrone is said to have
some supporters in the West End
and It Is not improbable that
President Hawthorne of the coun-
Gil win be out.
It Is conceded that Councilmeu
Giblett and Rankin Of the Fourth
ward are the two best posted
councilmen in the city on munich
pal business and no surprise will
be occasioned II both are out al
candidates. w. B. Kennel also
is said to have a nee buzzfng
around In his hat from the east
end of town.
Councilman Lynn Is not saying
anything but he Is interested a
lot whenever the talk turns on
