NEW ERA IN
CITY WATER
DEPARTMENT
Two Men Released and
Rules Announced to
Reduce Friction.

Things have begun to happen Id
the city water department, and the
prospects are that they will keep
happening until compliments on
that part of the public service have
greatly diminished
d. K. Wiley, foreman of construc-
ton, resigned today and will be sue
ceeded tomorrow by w. s. Powell,
who has been in the service of the
city for five years, and Is consid-
cred well fitted for the water job.
Mr.. Wiley informed The Press this
morning that he was absolutely
certain that the foreman in charge
of the work on Buckeye was not
guilty of the discourteous language
charged by w. F. Kippen. The lat
ter is not positive 1t was the fore
man, but he is certain that the
treatment was accorded by one
whom he was led to believe had
authority.
Another water official, Joseph
Charlton, head inspector, was re-
leased today for discourtesy.
Commissioner Reuterdahl has
gone actively into the attitude Of
city water department employees to-
ward the public, and is now getting
out the following circular for the
guidance of each member of the
department.:
Having regard to the obvious
fact that the salary of each en-
ploye, from commissioner to laborer
is paid by the taxpayers Of the
city, it naturally follows that the
taxpayers have a right to expect
and demand from each and every
employee courteous and considerable
treatment, and honest and efficient
work. 1t will sometimes happen
that a duty, disagreeable In itself
or its circumstances, has to be per-
formed, but 1t should invariably be
performed with consideration and
courtesy, so as to reduce the I'M
pleasantness to q minimum. That is
what Is paid for and that is what
will be expected. In the possible
case of an employee meeting with
persistent and violent opposition to
his legitimate demands, It Is better
to leave the matter and report to
the department rather than engage
in a useless and wordy quarrel.
THE attention of the water In
spectors is particularly invited to
the fact that 1t Ia neither the de-
sire nor the design Of the depart
ment to cause undue hardship to
residents of the city, nor multiply
fines against them. The object In
view is to prevent unlawful waste
or use of the city water. Before
any attempt to fine or cut off the
water supply Is made the offender
must be in the first place warned

HESSELTINE ATTACKS
RECEIVERSHIP

In the case of A. e. PINCH
against C. r. Hesseltin and the
United Securities Co., Hesseltine.
through his attorneys, entered q
special appearance In court this
morning.
B. Fl. Kizer was appointed re.
ceiver of the company by an or.
der issued some time ago by Judge
Webster and later subpoena
decus tecum was served on Hessel-
tin to compel him to produce the
books and papers CT the company,
OF which he was president.
The special appearance filed this
morning will delay the case. as
Hesseltine objects to going into q
hearing and taking testimony on
the appointment of receiver, and
gives as a reason that he had no
notice of the proceedings.
He also says the court has no
Jurisdiction of his property and
person and that the order appoint
ing the receiver is therefore null
and void. The court will set day
to hear arguments.

TACOMA, June 80 Herbert N.
DeWoHe, the attorney who yester-
day created a state wide sensation
by filing charges of corruption
against eight judges of the SUI
preme court, Is not alarmed by the
wrath engendered against him.
DeWolfe defies the supreme
court to cite him for contempt. He
says he has no selfish motives in
bringing the charges and that he
Is doing 1T as service to the prac-
ticing attorneys of the state, as he
Is retiring from the practice of law
himself.
The charges Of DeWolfe, in ad-
dition, continue:
IN all these cases the opinion
of the court is couched in such
language that anyone reading
them is led to believe the cases
IRE decided correctly according to
he. law and the facts, but an in
fesfigation of the records will
Hearty substantiate my charges as
% corruption"
I,eWolfe first submitted his COM
plant to Governor Hay with a re-
quest that he submit 1t to the le-
gislature, but the governor return
ed It with a letter saying that un-
less DeWolfe could furnish proof
that members of the court accept
ed brides or were corrupt he would
not feel like placing 1t before the
legislature.
OLYMPIA June 30-The charges
against the members of the SUI

Herbert N. DeWolfe of Tacoma

were referred to the judiciary COM
mittee.
Representative Palmer of King
county said that he will bring dis

Wolfe. who formerly was city at

Wolfe say that he is a born fighter
and that while acting as city attor-
ney for West Seattle, single and
alone, whipped some of the best
corporation lawyers In the metrop-
oils In suits involving the interests
Of the people.

SUBSCRIBER LOSES
IN FIGHT FOR PHONE

The case Of the state on relation
of II. e. Smith against the Pacific
Telephone & Telegraph Co. was
decided by Judge Hinkle sitting in
the superior court this morning.
He denied Smiths application for
a writ of mandamus to compel the
telephone company to install In his
home a telephone.
Smith. who Is a mechanical en-
gineer, lives at E2104 Eighth ave-
nue., and in May. 1907, made de-
mand on the company to wire up
to his home and supply him with
telephone. service. They refused,
and syn cid q complaint, claim
ing that his neighbors have been
given service, and that he was be-
ing Disseminated against by the
company. He asked for a writ of
mandamus to compel the company
to install the phone. The company
in reply said that on account Of
the great expense and the limited
number of applicants among
Smiths neighbors, 1t would be I'M
reasonable to compel them to &C.
cede to his request. They alleged
they would make no profit out of
Smiths phone and further stated
that they were formulating plans
to supply the territory in which
Smiths hmoe is located within the
next six months, and that he could
have a phone at that time.
Judge Hinkle sided with the
company, and Smith and his neigh
bors will have to do without
phone this summer.

HIGHER COURT CHARGES

nue.. The Goldens say they listed
certain real estate with Dickson
& Dunn for sale, upon which they
placed a value of $4,000, against
which was a mortgage for $2376.
Golden alleges Clemmer and Rose
ware persuaded his wife to ex-
change their property for the hotel
upon the statement that the lease,
furniture and good will were worth
$4,000, and that 1t was making
money. Mrs. Golden says these
statements were false, and that
the hotel was an immoral resort
and that 1t was losing money on
account of its reputation, and they
ask for return of the property
and damages for their outlay.
The men accused deny that they
made any false representations to
fool Mrs. Golden; that her eyes
were open and that she was given
an opportunity to examine the ho-
tel and its receipts, and the char
acter Of the place she was buying.
They ask that the case be dis

FUNK JOL1S
ELECTRICIANS
SHOWS THE COUNCIL HOW
THE THEORY OF GUARAN-
TEEiNG FIRST CLASS WORK
OPERATED IN HIS CASE.

Occasionally Councilman Funk
feels called upon to arise and
speak his mind in meeting, and
thereafter develops that somebody
has received considerable of a jolt.
An incident of this sort occurred
last night. Representatives of cleo
trical firms and City Engineer
Davis were trying to get an ordi-
nance through permitting nobody
but persons with established
places of business to do wiring in
this city, requiring each to pay a
license fee of $50 per year and put
up 5000 bond. They argued that
this would protect property owners
from the consequences Of frrespOn-
sible labor that has afflicted them
in the past and guarantee good and
safe work. Then arose Councilman
Funk. He scoffed the idea that the
ordinance was proposed for the
protection of the public 1t looked
more to him like design for the
particular protection of the cleo
trical supply house portion of the
public. IL incompetent men
couldn't get work on their own ac-
count they would get work as en-
ployes Of the contracting firms, as
Funk viewed it, and he cited a case
in point.
Funk employed one of the big
gest electrical firms in the city to
wire his house. The inspector
looked at the job and said he
couldn't stand for it. Next morn
ing the man who did the work
reused Funk out of bed by assault
on the house, with intent to tear
out the wiring. He was from the
south, where they do wiring differ
ent, using mud principally. Then
a w. w. p. man came around to
see about hitching on the lights.
He discovered that the wiring had
been run out the back gable and to
get the juice inside, wires would
have to be wrapped around the out.
side of the house. The man from
the south came back, explaining
that he run the wires out the back
end because he thought 1t would
look better that way.
Eventually Funk received the
bill. He's got 1t framed at hrs
house now. A member of the firm
was at the council meeting, but
Funk spared him publicity. Then
he went on to point out that the
ordinance would compel owners of
business blocks who employ cleo
tricians by the month to pay a $50
license fee and put up a bond be-
fore they could install an incandes-
cent light or make ordinary re-
pairs. This was brought out in a
protest from the Trustee company.
Councilman Schaefer questioned
the constitutionality of the ordi-
nance and Corporation Counsel
Connor seemed inclined to agree
with him. The matter was left to
Mr.. Conner for an opinion, the
ordinance In the meanwhile being
ordered out of the committee.

CARELESS OF
CITY PUMPS
COUNCIL NOT DISTURBED
Bv FACT THAT MEN ARE
EXPECTED TO BE RESPONSE
BILE FOR THEM At SIS PER
MONTH.

The same shortsighted policy
that Is governing the council In
the matter OF securing an in
creased supply of water also pre-
walls in the equally important par
ticular of assurance that the ma
chinery now in use is kept In the
care of competent, contented men.
The fact was demonstrated last
night when the ordinance raising
the pay of auxiliary pumpmen to
500 per month was called up In
committee of the whole. A rider
to raise the pay of the city hall
janitors to the same amount has
been tackled onto the ordinance.
The council puts the men charged
with the responsibility Of keeping
the water in the mains In the same
reimbursement class with the men
who sweep the city hall floors.
Auxiliary pump station men are
paid $73y or month, get no Sun
days nor Z .Jlidays and are on
duty all the time because they are
subject to calls at any hour In case
of fire. They have to pass an ex-
hLliudliOi III lIiC CuiC VI tuO CiCC-
trio motor and dynamo and the
high pressure pumps used. Coun-
Gilman Mohr last night asked
George Denham, the pumpmen's
representative, II man could not
be taught to do the work In a day
and Denham cited an instance of
one Of these men who tied up the
street car systems for hours by
fooling with a circuit breaker.
The element that interests the
property owner Is the fact that
SIS per month with no days off
nor overtime allowance Is consid-
cred sufficient pay for the men en-
trusted with the machinery that
keeps city water in circulation. A
caretaker of bare equipment not in
operation would be paid more than
that.
The council did nothing more
with the request for increase last
night than to refer ii to the H.
nance committee. The janitorship
is sort of political job, and that,
of course, demands extra consider
alton.
