ton to remedy the defect which

spondence with State Labor Com
missioner. Hubbard and last night
as he promised yesterday, he sent
letter to the council asking for
a conference with the city authori-
ties on the matter at which time
Mr.. Hubbard will be present.
The council appointed next Wed
nesday evening and at that time it
will go into committee of the
whole and try to frame something
to compel the company to make
adequate provision for the protec-
tion of the public.

FERN HILL
COMMITTEE
IS ENJO|NED

Attorney Lorenzo Dow and j =.
Fitch, representing the Fern Hill
committee ON program to form
ulate plans to wage war on the
L. X. & P. company to compel the
granting of five cent fare, as due
all residents of the city under
the terms of the settlement ordi
nance, were today served with In
functions by Deputy United States
Marshall j. r. Statter prohibiting
them from melting any trouble on
the Fern Hill line, such as will
tend to interfere with the free op-
Grafton of the cars.
The injunction was granted by
Judge Hanford in Seattle yester-
day and sent over here for SER
vice. 1t sets March Z as date Cor
hearing, so the case is now put
off for another five weeks In which
the street railway company Will
have free license to continue to
charge 10 cent fares.
The restraining order was
granted in the same Old Colony
Trust company suit which was
started against the city and the
street car company does not ap-
pear in it directly.
Superintendent Boutelle and
other employees of the T. R. & p.
went before the courts WITH
lengthy affidavits saying that all
sorts of dire things were about to
happen to the company. Includ-
ed in the affidavit was one of The
Fern Hill posters which the Times
reproduced this week.
Moved by these affidavits the
court issued the restraining order
after Dow, Fitch, Peder Jensen.
Frank Judges and John Doe Miller
had been made party defendants
to the action on motion.
There is nothing in the injunc-
tion that compels citizens general
ly to refuse to pay more than five
cents to ride to Fern Hill.

Vernon Barr, aged 16. and Lima
Ammer, aged IA, were found sit
ting side by side, their arms clasp
ed about each others lifeless
bodies, in a buggy by a country
roadside this afternoon.
Lying beneath their feet in the
box of the buggy was a tin cup
in which were a few drops of a
mixture a physician declared was
strychnine.
Young Barr and the little girl
were child sweethearts, and the
theory was advanced that they had
executed a ghastly suicide pact be-
cause their parents had declared
they were too young to be mar
ried.
