ENGINEER KELSEY MAKES REPORT SHOWING SUCCESS OF
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP LIGHTING SYSTEM FIG
UREs SUBMITTED TO BUYERS BONDS NEW MIS-
QUALIFY PLANT

The attempt of certain politi-
clans and interests opposed to mu-
nicipal ownership to bring the city
light plant into i'll repute received
black eye today when Engineer
Kelsey made a report to Commits
sioner McGregor showing that
the Tacoma light plant cleared
$150,000 last year. and that 1t is
operated under Lauzon's manage
ment with remarkable efficiency.
Kelsey shows that the COM
mercial receipts from the lighting
plant last year were $339.96O.70,
the city paid $56,421.15 for it's
light, making total receipts of the
plant $396,3S1.S5. The expenses
were $90,S04 for operation, $685.
S72 for repairs and $128,S65.94
for current, or total disbursements
of $245,542.19, leaving net
profit for the plant Of $780,

This profit has been uut right
back into the plant to extend the
lines and give additional service
to the people, thus preparing for
still greater results in the future.
A net profit of $150,O00 on a
business of about 100000 would
be considered pretty good thing

DECAP|T ATED
BODY Of GIRL
IS FOUND
MURDER MYSTERY REVEAL
ED BY DISCOVERY OF A
YOUNG WOMAN'S REMAINS,
HORRIBLY MUTILATED IN
CHICAGO FLAT.
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-The body
of a woman with the head sew
cred was found at noon today in a
flat in the South Side. The po-
lice believe she was brutally MUIR
dered.
The body was identified as that
of Anna Furlong.
A part of the right ear and a
portion of the scalp remained
connected with the neck, evident
ly having been torn off when the
head was severed.
The body had been disembow-
eled and presented horrible
appearance.
Tillie Taylor, proprietor of the
house of which the murdered
woman resided, is being detained
by the police, who have the the
ory that jealousy or revenge was
the principal motive for the
crime. This is based on the ap-
palling brutality that accompan-
led the murder.
Every effort to throw light on
the past history of the woman is
being made by the police. Com
panions of the dead girl say that
she had every appearance of re-
finement, in their judgment, and
was well educated.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 20.
Insisting in his belief that a
number of bodies are still buried
in the debris of the Ellis build
ing, where 500 factory girls
were trapped in fire yesterday
afternoon, Fire Chief Naxter is
today personally directing a
search of the ruins.
Five bodies have already been
taken out. Reports from hospi-

were taken, indicate that at least
half a dozen fatalities will be add

The fire chief declares that he
believes his figures of yesterday,
when he estimated from thirty to
forty killed, were probably high,
but that he fears that a number
of bodies would be found under a
collapsed stairway which dropped
into the basement.

The city of Cleveland is taking the
project of holding the Olympic games
of 1916 in a serious mood and for the
last couple of weeks nothing else has
been discussed by the sporting frater-
nifty of the Forest city. 1t has been
decided to send an emissary to The
Hague at the next conference of the
international Olympic committee and
he will have power to lay Cleveland's
offer for the fixture before the con-
clave. 1t is not exactly fixed when
the next meeting of the committee
takes place or whether it will meet at
all next year, but it has been definitely
stated that meeting will be held dur
ing the Stockholm games of 1912
Nothing should be more natural than
that a session should be held at Stock
holm, for surely most of the commit
tee will be there to see the compete
tons. At the last meeting of the
committee there was a proposition
that a meeting he held next June, but
there was an adjournment before
there was definite understanding on
the matter.

sion of natural thought and natural
language to call such continuous CO.
operation a cinematographic series
of distinct conspiracies rather than
to call it a single conspiracy"
Holding that a conspiracy IN re-
straint of trade is different from a
contract in restraint OF trade, Justice
Holmes summed up the decision in
this manner: "The Indictment char
ges a continuing conspiracy. Whe-
ther it does with technical sufficiency
is not before us. All that we decide
is that a conspiracy may have con-
tinuance in time, and that where, as
here the indictments, consistently
with the other facts, alleged that II
did so until the date of filing, that al
legation must be denied under the
general issue and not by a special
plea. = 10 =
"Under the general issues all de-
fenses, including the defense that the
conspiracy was ended by success
abandonment or otherwise more thar
three years before July 1, 1909, will
be open and unaffected by what We
now decide"

of an oense fflimited TO the formation
of the conspiracy ana, possibly, some
overt acts Hereunder, the Supreme
Court of the United States yesterday
went a long way toward dispelling
doubt as to the law.
The direct result Is that Gustave
f. Kissell of New York and Thomas
B. Harmed of Philadelphia must ans
wer further to the indictment brought
in 1909 in New York charging them
with conspiracy with the American
Sugar Refining Company and others
to drive the Pennsylvania Sugar Re-
fning Company out of business.
Justice Holmes today, in announc-
ing the opinion of the Court, took up
for consideration the argument that
conspiracy is a completed crime as
soon as formed, as would be the case
where a conspiracy was merely a
contract.
at is true" said Justice Holmes
chat the unlawful agreement salts
fled the definition of the crime, but II
does not exhaust it. When the plot
contemplates bringing to pass a CON
tinuous cooperation of the conspira'
tors to keep it up and there is suct
