became alive and the man keeled
over and began slipping down the
pole without uttering a sound.
Frantic Wife Pleads With Crowd
At the scene of the break the pole
is reported to be nearly 60 feet above
the ground. but the mans saftey belt
caught after he had fallen n few feet,
leaving him suspended in the air more
than As feet from the ground. Ac-
cording to the wife's own story, she
plead with the crowd of bystanders
to devise some means OF getting him
down from the pole. but nothing
could be done until the arrival of a
lineman in an automobile from this
city, in response to a telephone call.
Upon the arrival of the lneman in
George Arrowsmith's machine. the
electrocuted man was taken from tHc
dizzy height where he met his deatH.
His face and right hand We're badly
burned.
Two Stories Conflict
Mr.. Arrowsmith denied the man had
phoned in to the central station of
the Yallima-Pasco Power company, to
have the Juice on the broken wire cut
off. Mr.. Arrowsmith said that the
man did telephone in to the company
saying that the wire was down but
that he did not mention anything
bout cutting off the current, nor did
he say ANYTHING about repairing the
wire.
Manager ArrOwsmith said that
when Bruilette reported the broken
wire he was informed that a lineman
of the Yakima-Pasco Power company
would be sent out to repair it. Other
than this he confirmed the story OF
the dead mans wife.
Was SkilfulI Workman
According to Manager Arrowsmith
OF the Yakima-Pasco Power company
the wire which dealt out the tragic
death of young Priulette carried the
current from the Yakima-Pasco Pow
err companys plant to the plant of the
Central Washington Irrigation com
pany. This wire being out completely
disabled the latter company fol
which the electrician was employed
and as an accommodation to both
companies, the unfortunate linemar
is thought to have attcwDted the
splice that caused his death.
Expert electricians who We're wei
acquainted with the man say that he
was a skilful and careful workman
and many are loath to believe thai
Rruilette was alone responsible fol
the accident
Besides his wife. Rruilettc leaves
two brothers and as many sisters il
this city and his mother in Seattle tC
mourn his tragic death.

A SENSE OF HUNOR

What we call a sense of humor is a
curious affair;
Some say it's rather common. some
consider it quite rare
It's funny when somebody seats him
SELF upon q pin,
Provided it's somebody you're not
interested in.
It's funny when the gold brick man
deludes a trusting soul,
And leaves his crops in pawn and puts
his family in a hole,
It's funny when small children eat
green fruit and cakes and pie
And suffer pain-thOugh | could new
er see exactly why.
It's laughable to see a man in most
things Grave and strong
Break down end seem quite helpless
when affections hopes go
wrong.
It's funny when some man in whom
the public placed its trust
Gets out and makes a silly splurge
with other peoples dust.
It's funny when you stand for hours
as on the cars you ride;
It's funny when the big autos have
explosion or collide.
When you note the timely topic and
the gay and Satire fling,
There's no doubt sense of humor is
very curious thing.

TAXATION UNDER COMMISSION
PLAN.

The impression seems to have been
in the system known as the commits
sion form of government for cities
which the layman and ordinary voter
and taxpayer cannot understand. As
matter of fact the plan is extreme
w simple. We make the mistake in
studying it that we often make in
studying other things, OF looking for
something that does not exist.
Under the plan, which has been re-
fcrred to from time to time in these
columns the city commission Is sim
| ply a board of directors, elected at
large by the qualified voters of the
entire city every two years. This
board is usually composed of five
active business men, each fully recog-
nizng the fact that economy and
businesslike methods. not politics,
should be employed in transacting
the business affairs of the city. These
men conduct the affairs of a city as
nearly as possible upon the same plan
| and by the same methods that their
Iducted They estimate the citys
needs and take means, by assessing
| and collecting taxes, of meeting these
needs.
In expending these FUNDS raised by
the people this commission recognizes
the fact that the affairs of the city
must be administered with relation
to the city as a whole, and not as :
city divided into wards. All ward
lines are eliminated. The commiy-
sioners at the first meeting after their
election, or as soon thereafter as
possible, by a majority vote designate
from among their members one com
missioner who shall be known as
| commissioner of finance and reVe-
nue." Under his direction are placed
the offices of the city assessor and
collector, the city treasurer and the
city auditor. He is also charged
with the duty Of examining into and
keeping informed as TO the finances
of the city, and with the advice and
assistance of the other members of
the board he prepares the annual
budget Of the city. Great care is
exercised in preparing this estimate
of the city's needs, and it is never
exceeded by the expenditures.
The fact of course is not lost sight
Of that all these commissioners are
collectively or individually subject to
'TecaIl.' That is, if any one of them

Reports indicate that about half of

ROME, Italy, June i--Great appre-

ic disturbances showing that the zone
affected by earthquake shocks today is
n vast one embracing practically the
whole of southern Italy. as well as a
portion of Tuscany and Nenitia to the
north. But the district where the most
serious damage ACQUIRED only extends
about fifty miles around Mount Vul-
ture. which is an extinct volcano near
the town of Calitri in the province of
Avellino. This region has suffered
much in the past from earthquake
shocks and in 1851 eight hundred per-
sons We're killed.
The number OF casualties resulting
from the earthquake today has not
been ascertained. Some reports esti-
mate the dead at fifty and the injured
at several Eudnred. 1t is feared that
many are buried in the ruins of the
houses thrown down at Calibtr; The
Government has taken hold of the
situation promptly and although the
earthquake occurred during the night
the military and civil authorities were
soon hard at work rendering aid to
the injured, preparing shelter for the
homeless and bending every energy
to the establishment of order.
