ROOSEVELT
LECTURES
IN BERLIN

BERLIN, May 12.-Sunshiue
and warmth came to Col. Roose-
velt's aid today and helped the
specialists who have been trying
to cure his throat. The favorable
weather did as much as the treat
ments he has received to lesson
his hoarseness and he was able to
deliver his lecture before the UNI
versity of Berlin without great in
convenience.
The kaiser today presented
Roosevelt with four large water
colors, the work of famous ar
lists, showing the changes made
in German army uniforms since
1850. The pictures are explain
ed by notations made by the kais-
er himself.
Roosevelt's speech was enthus-
iastically received by a great
gathering at the University of
Berlin.

CHER
WINS
SECTION OF PURE FOOD LAW
is KNOCK OUT IN POLICE
COURT.

The butchers won out in the
pure food fight in court yesterday
and had the provision of the law
applying to them knocked out, but
they have stirred up the pure food
question in a way that will mean
that the whole of them will have
to come to time on new ordf-
nance now.
Mayor Fawcett says the ordi-
nance must be amended SO 1t will
hold.
'T ordered the city attorneys
to prosecute the case and fight 1T
out, and If the present ordinance
won't hold then we will get one
that will" he said today.
Assistant City Attorney Frank
|Latcham, who tried the case yes
terday against Jim Hubbard, and
was beaten, declared he is already
working on a new section for the
Ordinance that will avoid the tech
|nicality on which the meat deal
|er escaped yesterday.
The old ordinance declares that
meat must be kept in a recepta-
Gle that will provide ventilation
and yet will exclude dust and
flies.
The butchers took the thing lit
|erally. They had all sorts of So
called experts on the stand who
declared that there could be no re-
Iceptacle made that would let in
air that would not also let in
dust, for some fine particle would
go through sometimes.
Instead of requiring a recep.
tacle that will exclude "all" dust
the new ordinance will provide
for such a place as will mini
mize" it.
And the lawyers say this will
hold.

Judge w. F. Reynolds for city
attorney.
G. o. Bates for assistant.
Boost salaries to twice the pres
ent figures.
That is the program being
worked out by Mayor Fawcett and
If it goes through it promises to
explode bombshell. Already
things are beginning to sizzle
around town over the mere rum
or of such a change.
There does not seem to be
much objejction to Reynolds ex-
cept to raising the. pay of the city
attorney to away above the pres
fent figure. But the mention OF
the name of the former prosecu-
tor, Bates, who is charged with
blocking the prosecution of the
old graft cases in the Wright ad-
ministration, and who was the
recognized representative of Pete
ISandberg in the court house, who
protected the notorious smelter
blind pig" is enough to cause
the citizens who believe in law
and decency to get up on their
hind feet and paw the air.
Judge Stiles has never been
much in favor with Fawcett Tor
he was the attorney for the cor
porations that had trouble with
Fawcett when he was mayor be-
fore.
Reynolds, however, is attorney
for the Milwaukee railway now
and Bates is attorney for the Bell
Telephone company, against
which the city just now has one
of its biggest fights on hand. 1t
therefore does not look much like
getting away from attorneys who
have corporation strings to them.
But Fawcett says he wants Rey-
nolds and Bates to fight.
| Neither are noted for liking to
work any too well, however, and
some of the lawyers are asking
If they are elected who will do the
work in the office.
Woods, Freeland and Lawson
do not look with much favor upon
the scheme to boost the salaries
for the attorneys skyhigh. They
|argue that Styles has made a
lgood record and is willing to con-
tfnue to fight for the city at a
reasonable salary, while Reynolds
at a boosted salary would un-
doubtedly devote much of his
time to his corporation practic
should he be appointed.

New Theater Planned
For Vaudeville

Tacoma is to have a new thea
ter, If present plans are followed
out, and high-class vaudeville will
be given a try-out.
Walter Hoff Seeley, general
representative for the William
Morris interest, Is due to arrive
here from Vancouver, B. c., about
Sunday and he will confer with a
group ow local capitalists in ref
erence to the building of new
house on the site of the old Star
theater, which was burned more
than a year ago.
The plans for the new house
have already been made. The
theater will accommodate 1,646
people. It will be modern In
every respect and one of the most
beautiful and costly play houses
in the Northwest.
1t is certain that II the house is
built, the Morris vaudeville will
be given aatry-out at least.
william Morris Is an "insur-
gent" in theatrical affairs. He
has twenty theaters in the princi-
pal cities and ground was broken
for his American Music Hall in
Seattle Monday. The advent of
Morris in Tacoma will undoubted-
ly cause Martin Beck to enter
here with Orpheum vaudeville.
The Grand would very likely be
the home Of the orpheum, leaving
the low price vaudeville field to
the Pantages.
