The tiles are about six inches

usually the size of the tile. but some
times all the tiles in the side of

is certaily a startling decoration.
The city contains many fine
squares, in each of which is a most
artistic monument to some king or

The street scenes are peculiar. You

CITY MAY SEIZE CARS
FOR DELINQUENT TAXES

TACOMA, Oct. 11-Since the fed
eral court decided the AJAX case
against the Tacoma Railway &
Power company last week, the mat
ter of collecting the s340,113.40 ac-
crued taxes and interest is in the
hands of Couty Treasurer Ed Meath.
The amount of taxes above is for
the years 1907-S-9. and since that is
desreed not excessive, it will be nee
essary for the street car company to
nav up at once or be sold out for I'M
paid taxes.
Mr., Meath is under the impression
that the taxes will be paid in during
the next three or four days. and Is
dispsed to allow the Stone g. Webs
ter people the courtesy of few avs
Of grace.
Week Ends Grace.
However. unless all money due is
paid in this week. the treasurer will
take charge of all property of the
corporation in the county, and it will
be put up for sale. OF the above
amount 100000 is interest.
There is still a balance of several
thousand dollars due the county ON
assessments. of 1904-5-6. These are
in dispute. and are not included in
the total which it will be necessary
for the street railway company to
produce this week.
Lumber Firm is Behind.
The weyerhaeuser Lumber COM
PAW is also heavily indebted to the
county in the amount of s153,0e0.
4 nd hD-
come delinquent June |. They must
be delinquent one year before any
one can file for lands. and only
when some one has mae application
for lands on which delinquent taxes
are due can the treasurer make a
move to force collection.
The lumber corporation is still
delinquent on its 1908 taxes to the
amount of $4,000 and any one de-
string a glt-edged investment, and
with the price, can make application
to purchase some of the fine Weyer-
haeuser holdings, and obtain clear
title from the county.
County IS Embarrassed.
The delay of the corporation to
pay up their delinquent taxes has put
the county in bad place as FAR as
cash is concerned. A county tax
lien is prior to everything on cor,
poration property. and unless some
of the big companies come through
shortly it will he up to the treas
urer to go after them with few
seizures. to raise some money.
The November tax collections,
however, have smoothed matters over
for the time being. but these will not
last long. The county auditor Is
paying out large sums daily for the
services of election officers and rents.
besides already running up an ac-
count due various persons as bounty
on the pelts of wild animals.

OF course New York's progressive
convention endorsed President Taft.
A republican convention without such
action would be like a meal without
bread. or like a duck trying to swim
without water. 1t is quite a proper
Formally. You don't have to eat the
bread, and your duck can live with
out swimming. Moreover, the more
salubrous the endorsement the more
likely it's acceptance as proper
formality and nothing else.
Mr.. Taft's career as chief executive
and his personality are known to the
people, who will have their own
opinion Of them, regardless of all con-
vention fulminations.
Nothing that convention could
claim could cover up established facts.
The Ballinger scandal is still odorous.
We all know what sort Of men COM
pose Mr.. Taft's staff Of advisers. We
have a sample of the sort of men he
believes best fitted for the supreme
bench. We all know of his self-con-
fessed weakness and failure in secur-
ing redemption of popular party
pledges. His denial of federal patron

tors who defed Cannonism and Aid
richism 10 matter of history. They
are facts. Mr.. Taft is personally re-
sponsible for them, and all the con-
vention endorsements that can be fired
off between this date and 1912 cannot
hide them or nislsad the public as to
their iniquity.
Moreover, Taft is only an incident
and not the issue. That which is

they have not been stirred since

Watch for Shady Work.


The latest scheme which has been
sprung for The purpose of trying to
defeat the will of the people in the
selection of a United States senator
from this state is q suggestion that
ex-senator George Turner might be
able to unite the vote Of the uR-
pledged legislators, hoid-pver sena-
tors and democrats and prevent the
election of Miles Poindexter. The
promoters of this plan, it is suggested,
may argue that the followers are not
bound by the pledges which they gave
two years ago, as political changes
have taken place since then which re-
lieve them from any promises made
at that time.
Whether or not George Turner is
the man who win receive the support
OF the opposition. it is not at all un-
likely that an attempt will be made
to induce the legislators to ignore the
result of the primary election; but
this course can be taken only through
broken pledges and treachery. A state
senator who took the pledge two years
ago when ne was elected may con-
slider himself as much bound by it
now as he was to vote for Senator
Jones then, and the man who violates
that pledge will be unable to satisfac-
torily explain his action to his con-
stitu Chronicle.

House Appropriation Bill Calls
for Unprecedented Amount
for Purpose.

aSlhinton, April 6-"Never
has there been such elasticity III
has there been such elacticity in
laws as now, said pension
official today. Pension laws are
subject to Interpretation, of course
and the policy OF the administra
ton naturally influences the ad
ministration OF those laws. While
we were granted wide latitude un-
der past presidents, and then had
to check UP again, | want to say
there never was a time when we
felt so free to overlook the fine
points as right now.
Recent rulings OF the secretary
OF the interior make IT compare
lively easy for old soldiers with
honorable and dishonorable dis
charges from their respective ser
vices, to secure a penslonable
status. In the case of a soldier
with a dishonorable discharge
from a first service, then a re-en-
listment and an honorable dis
charge after a faithful service
from his second enlistment a rul-
ing of February %, 1910, almost
assures the soldier clean bill OF
health. The Pension Bureau,
however, can not get from under
the law requiring a full ninetyday
service under the law OF 1890.
The fast depicting ranks OF the
civil war soldiers have appealed
to the congressional committees.
The House penson bill carries
S155 ,OOO,OOO for pensions This
is the largest appropriation made
by congress in one session for this
or any other purpose in the tune
Of peace.
1t has been estimated that the
appropriations under the volun
teered retired officers bill will
amount to all the way from $12,
0OO, 900 to $2O,OOO,OOO. 1t would
not be surprising if the total ap-
preparations for soldiers of civil
war would reach $175,0OO,O00 If
the Townsend bill passes.
There will be two reports in
this bill covering retired officers
pay. Representative Prince OF
Illinois will write the majority re-
port and Representatives Hay OF

COMET PUSHING NEAR
Present Trip Expected to Rival
Brilliancy of Seventy-6ve
Years Ago.

Halley's comet is in such a
hurry to reach the earth that it
has pulled back the high speed
clutch and now is on the way to-
ward us at the rate OF 100000
miles an hour. Friday it was only
$50, 0O0, 900 miles away and COM
ing fast. The astronomers expect
it to arrive about May 10. The
comet finally has come within
seeing distance. but the trouble
is that just at the moment when
the earth moves around so
that one can get squint at
it the sun begins to rise and that
spoils everything.
However, on May 10 the comet
will be plainly visible to the
naked eye. 1t will appear in the
evening sky and will be only a
mere matter of 100000 miles
away. The comet is now coming
earthward at the fast-express
rate of 100000 miles an hour. and
will cross the earth's tracks on
May &c, although the earth will
be twenty days ahead. The two
bodies will be going in different
directions at that time.

TWO FIRES SUPPOSEDLY STARTED
BY SPARKS FROM LOCOMOTIVES
Home of Mrs. Julia Thomson and Harry
E. CRUDE Quilted by Blaze Small Fire
at Residence of James Beldon This
Morning.

Fire which is supposed to
have been caused by sparks from
a locomotive on the Vandalia
railroad, almost completely de-
stroyed the residence of Mrs.
Julia Thomson on north Plum
street Friday morning. The blaze
started on the roof, and the
flames gained Roadway in the
frame building with such rapid
ity, that by the time of the ar
rival of the fire department,
which was speedy, the entire up
per portion of the house was
burning fercely. A great crowd
collected.-the men entered the
burning house. and working with
ardor, and taking long chances
with the flames overhead, all of
the furniture was carried to
safety from the house. Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry E. CRUDE, moved into
the home OF her mother, Mrs.
Thompson only yesterday, and
there was a large amount of fur
niture TO be carried out. The
piano and other heavy pieces,
were lowered down the steps
from the main floor OF their resi-
dence, which was located eight
or ten feet above the ground.
The work of the citizens in saving
the contents of the house was
highly commendable. All worked
with a zeal and made an excellent
showing, in working in advance
OF the flames.

burning home. looked as though
the structure would be burned to
the ground. Soon however three
streams of water were being
played into the flames, which
were brought into subjection
within a few minutes. While the
hremen fought the flames, citi-
zens carried the furniture and
contents OF the house to safety

the fire, and lend assistance.
Noticed the; Smoke.
John Southworth, when going
to his home, directly across the
street from the Thomson resi-
dence at II o'clock noticed smoke
lowering above the house, which
at first glance he thought to be
fire, arising from a bonfire, be-
hind the house. Closer observa-
ton disclosed the fact that a
small blaze was playing from the
roof on the south side and South
worth burst into the Thomson
home, where Mrs. Thomson was
engaged in preparing dinner, and
appraised the lady of the fire, and
then hurried to the telephone,
summoning the department.
Southworth says that the water
works whistle sounded the alarm
almost before he left the phone,
and in short order the advance
OF the department reached the
scene. \ hitch in obtaining water
caused slight delay. but the fact
that the frame of the dwelling
was saved is credited to the
promptneSs and Jealous action OF
the members of the department,
under the skilled supervision of
Fire Chief Kuhn.
Loss Estimated at $500.
The estimated loss to the
building is 800, which was en-
tirely covered by insurance. A
crowd of six or seven hundred
people attended the fire and re-
NAMED until its extinction. 'about
