SEIZE ELEC-
TRIO PLANT
FOR TAX
County Treasurer Of Pierce
Uses Forcible Means to
Collect $132,154

Tacoma, Wash, Nov. ia tie
up of the street car systems of Ia
coma and Seattle was averted at
5:45 p. m. yesterday, after deputy
sheriffs acting under orders of
County Treasurer Ed Meath had
seized the Puget Sound Power COM
pany's plant at Electron, when Jas.
B. Howe, of Seattle, general counsel
for the Stone & Webster interests,
paid $132, 154.74 in cold cash into
the hands of the county treasurer.
The amount included taxes due
the county from the power company
for 1907, 1908 and 1909, and the
interest on the amount delinquent,
some $4,000, and the costs of seiz-
ing the big power plant. Payment
was not made until representatives
OF Stone & Webster had exhausted
every other means to settle the
matter. Deputy sheriffs were sent
to Electron this morning to seize
the plant and were met with barri-
cades which prevented entrance.
During the afternoon the barri-
cades were removed by the COM
panys men on advices from Tacoma,
and the plant was seized and the
power necessary to run the Tacoma
and Seattle street car systems had
to be generated by the auxiliary
steam plants. The company sue
ceeded in keeping its cars running.
Back taxes are also due from the
Tacoma Railway & Power company
and the Puget Sound Electric COM
pany, the latter operating the Ia
coma-Seattle Interurban. Treasurer
Meath says he expects an amicable
settlement of these taxes now and
will not seize the property of the
two companies unless they refuse to
come through.

TABOO FIGHT
PICTURES
HERE.
Wenatchee and Spokane the
Only Washington Cities
Prohibiting Films.

Advance Agent Haas, representing
the film exchange which handles the
moving pictures of the Johnson-Jef-
fries prize fight, was in the city to-
day trying to arrange with the We
natchee theatre to precent the re-
production of the great Fourth of
July contest held last summer at
Reno.
In order to avoid any compiled
tons, local Manager Linn Chapman
referred the agent to the members
of the city council and the mayor.
In the course of an hour Mr.. Haas
returned disconsolately. Not one of
the city fathers expressed his will
ingness to allow the pictures pre-
scented in this city. The matter has
been dropped. 8.
Wenatchee and Spokane are the
only two cities of the state that have
taken this decided stand of opposi-
ton. Several eastern cities where
the police have their constant trou-
bles to control race prejudice, put
an embargo upon the exhibition be-
fore permits were even requested.
Out here in the northwest, little
danger is to be expected from that
quarter and the only objection to the
pictures is their possible moral eff
feet. In all towns where the films
have been advertised, record audi
ences have taxed theatres to utmost
capacity.

JEfFR|ES WEARS OUT
  STARRING PARTNERS
One of Them Nearly Went Out for
 the Count.

Ben Lomond. Cal. May 7.-Jeffries put in two hours and twenty-five minutes of the hardest work at his training camp today in which he has indulged since he began preparing for his big fight The workout included six fast rounds with Billy Papke and three with Joe Choynski, and at the finish both sparring partners were as limp as a wet string trying to stand on end.
 Jeff tauntingly laid himself open to their blows and they sent in some heavy clouts without so much as loOsening the smile on the boiler makers face. The point of Jefrs chin was Choynskfs main. objective point. He landed often and Jeff seemed to like it.
 Alter Papke had started a suGces- tion of blood on Jefrs lips in the Iast round of their bout. the big fighter passed him q. vicious right which if it had landed with its full force would have caused hurry call for another sparring partner
 The milling with ChOynski was even more interesting than that with the kewanee boxer. Jeffries jolted the old-timer amidships with several smashing lefts and left him Tapping his arms feebly. like a discouraged windmill. at the end of the bout

New York, May 7-"Oom the Om- nipotent." alias Peter Coon, .alias Pierre Barnard. high priest of the Tantrik Order of Worship. was held in s15.000 bonds today for trial on charges of sedcution under promise to marry.
 'I find that the charge has been fully sustained said Magistrate Breen today. at the preliminary hear ing. There was not only systematic. but scientific seduction. This girl, Gertrude Lee. of Seattle. one of two complainants. has been inveigled into a den of iniquity for the purpose of perpetrating a shameless outrage She has been murdered, I say. in every respect save physically, and 1 shall not reduce the bail l fixed when l first read the complaint and before the testimony showed the dangerous character of this man and his prac- tices."
 The testimony of Miss Lee today went into details which made the girls sister. Mrs. Edward H. Miller. who introduced her to Dom in good faith. believing that he could restore her health. weep as she listened. Miss Lee testified that she first met Dom in Seattle in 1909. and that he in- duced her to come east with him by promises to giSe her free treatment and musical education in return for her services as his stenographer. She understood that she would live with his sister.

 Gertrude consented to become sa- cred Nautch girl. she testified She jabbed a steel pen into the palm of her left hand and wrote her name in blood on the roster of the order.
 q both feared and loved him., she swore today. He made me believe he could communicate with priests or the order all over the world who would sit in council at his complaint and take away my mind if l did not obey him. I complained. but l sub mitted."

CARTAG0 DEATH LIST
 sWEllED TO l,5O0 THE PROPERTY LOSS SAID TO BE MILLIONS. It Is Reported That Americans Are
 Among the Dead.

San Jose, Costa Rica, May 1.-The list of dead in the earthquake disaster which destroyed Cartago on Wednes- day. now numbers not less than 1,50O. The city was destroyed by an earth quake which lasted twenty-fou sec onds.
 It was tremendous movement which followed a few minor shocks during the course of the day It oc cured at o'clock in the evening. The inhabitants, had no time to. run out of their houses, which fell crashing to the streets. Had the great shock come during the sleeping hours, hardly any could have escaped.
 Every house and building was total ly destroyed. including the palace of the American peace court, donated by Andrew Carnegie. Some Americans are reported killed, but identification. even by the records, is now impossi- ble.
 The earthquake, which brought al- most total darkness and great clouds of dust from the falling buildings, was followed by roaring which came ap- parently from down in the earth, and for six hours the disturbance con- tinued. President Gonzales Vasquez and President Elect Ricardo Jiminez are personally in charge of the work of rescue. The monetary losses reach far into the millions. Foreign help is needed badly and must be prompt if good is to come of it. Thousands are homeless and without food.
 Fires that broke out after the de- struction of the town added to the horror of the situation and heavy rains that have fallen since have made the conditions almost unbearable, even for those who escaped injury.

San Francisco. May 7.-Having adapted himself to life as he finds it, in this city. Jack Johnson. the heavy weight champion, has become a fa- miliar figure in the business section. Every day finds him in his motor car lodging around corners in full view of the passing throng. a part of the training system that he seems to enjoy more than sparring or punching the bag.
 Just at present he is getting all that is to be had out of the satisfac- ton of being a prominent figure. He feels. apparently. that the hard grind of the training season will be there whenever he makes up his mind to forsake pleasure and meet it face to face.

I know from having been president that he had an earnest desire to keep the relations between Great Britain and the United States on the closest and most friendly terms.

 Col and Mrs. Roosevelt spent a comparatively quiet day in the com pany of the crown prince and princess and in the evening were the guests of honor at a dinner given by the citi- zens.
 In a laudatory speech at this din- ner Premier Lindman said: we are glad to welcome the foremost citizen of the great republic. to which Swe- den has sent so many loyal citizens
