BUSINESSMEN
bEH|NDTHE
MOVE

Dollar gas.
Tacoma wants 1t and a move
ment is organizing to get It.
Thus far the gas monopoly l.ere
has resisted every effort to force
the price to the dollar mark but
leading business men are taking
up the fight now.
A few months ago the Times
started a crusade for dollar gas.
A new company was ready to en-
ter the field and there were hopes
of relief. The gas company to
head off the movement cut It's
price from $1.35 to $1.15 and the
change in the administration
headed off the new company.
This company went to Mayor
Seymour and asked for a fran
chise, but Seymour told them he
was opposed to granting the fran
chise to give competition to the
old company.
This has made the gas COM
pany defiant and it has refused all
concessions.
hStuIh "
So stubborn has been the atti-
tude of the old company that
Rhodes Brothers are now INSTALL
ing a private plant to light their
stores to get away from the ex-
tortion of the gas company. This
concern used as high as 400, zoo
feet of gas month in winte,. and
half that in summer.
The present movement for dol
lar gas was started by the big
consumers. j. P. Johnson of the
West Coast Grocery company, one
of the leaders, is today interview
ing other business men about or
ganizing movement for relief.
"We feel that We are entitled
to reduction in the price of
gas said E. r. Rogers, of the
Rogers company, today.
1--WE use a great deal of gas in
coffee roasting as do several 9TH
er firms here, and we all have to
compete with Seattle and Port
land firms where they get much
more favorable terms for gas than
we do.
Demand Dollar Rate.
Eve are demanding dollar
rate for all users in the city and
a lower flat rate for the large
|consumers. We use in our plant
900 to 10000 feet a month
and for such an amount we feel
that a rate at least as low as rs
cents would be none too much to
expect"
AS a result of the present move
ment committee of business men
will be organized and 1t is believ-
ed J. P. Johnson will be CHAIR
man.
The demand for dollar gas is
taking such shape that it is ex-
Ipected to bring results in the near
future.

IS WILSON
SHAMM|NG

OLYMPIA, July 2S.-Is George
Wilson insane or shamming?
The authorities of Thurston
county are watching closely the
accused slayer of Archie and Net
tie Cobel, since he tried to re-
pudiate his former confession yes
terday.
After a visit from his wife Will
son seemed calmer Ee would not
flatly deny to Sheriff CASTOR that
he had killed the young Rainier
couple, but ridiculed the idea that
it was possible for him to do it.
Whether he is really insane and
innocent and merely thinks he
committed the crime, or whether
he actually committed it and is
trying to get off on an insanity
plea Is being debated by the au-
thorities.

the order, they inaugurated new
period in their history. he need of a

knights have never possessed a home.

who in turn placed 1t at the disposal
of Edward VII to be used in any way
that he deemed fitting. the happy idea
of building a chapel for the knights
of the Order of the Thistle immediate
" presented itself. The matter WAS
put into the hands df the eeclesiasti-
cal authorities with the result that d
splendid modern chapel now stands in
beautiful position under the very
shadow of the cathedral itself.
When Mr. Lorimer. a. X. a. was
appointed architect in April. 1909. the
particular problem that confronted
him was how to make the new build

will be in complete harmony with The
old.
From the chapel Of the Thistle, ac-

low-roofed antechamber. the proper
tons of which make an imposing con-
trast with the fine lines of the new
building. The interior is impressive
