RHINELANDER WALDO.

NEW YORK, June 3.-New
York has a new police commission
er and won't recover from the
shock for some time.
The commissioner is Rhineland-
er Waldo, owner of many millions
and heir to more. He is noted for
doing things as they should be
done, while professional politi-
clans writhe as the spoils slip
away.
Waldo gave up the fire commits
sionership to head the police de-
partment, when Mayor Gaynor
wanted a man with backbone, who
was beyond pull or money. Past
experience shows he has the man
in Waldo.
Before he became fire commits
sioner-and it may be stated that
he ran the department according
to Hoyle and not Tammany-
Waldo had coolies of experience.
He graduated from Column ia,
took a crack at the police depart
ment as deputy commissioners I'M
der Bingham, served in the Phil
ippines, where he learned to obey
orders quickly and see that his
own were obeyed instanter, was
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1911-06-03

defeated for congress and then
studied police departments in
Europe.
He took a job in the fire de-
partment upon returning from
Europe, because the department
needed deodorizing. He scat
tered lime and brains about and
the fire department bobbed np,
smelling sweet.
Now, as head of the police de-
partment, Waldo has orders from
Gaynor to stop graft and clean
up. The metropolitan force can
get used to almost anything, but
it is in for its severest shock in
Waldo. Unless the politicians
"get" the young millionaire, what
he does to the "po-lice" will be a.
sin.
One look at Waldo's six feet of
beef and muscle, his long, lean,
fighting jaw and his eyes, which
look squarely into those Of whom
ever he is talking to, will con-
vince the skeptical this man is a
fighter, and that the short.
snappy, chopped off sentences
come from a man who knows
what he wants and intends to
have his wishes carried out.

Lafferty's Little Bill' Bigger
Than the Supreme Court
BY Dana Sleeth.

PORTLAND, June 3.-Oregon
sent A. W. Lafferty to congress
Last year instead of stand-pat
politician of the old school, who
had been on the job for various
private interests for a decade or
SO.
Since Lafferty hit Washington
he has been one Of the few insur-
gent republicans that always in
surged.
But Lafferty of Oregon has in
troduced a bill into the house
that means a lot more than any
thing he. or anybody else recently,
has done, particularly in view of
the recent incident in the u. s. SUI
preme court in connection with the
Standard Oil company.
1t is House Bill No. 5000, and
1t provides for the definite settle
ment of the whole trust problem
at one fell swoop. And that
through already recognized gov
eminent channels and without
bringing down any revolution in
Wall street.
His bill merely extends the pow
er of the interstate commerce COM
mission so that this body can fix
the prices of all commodities con-
trolled by trusts.
The commission just now fixes
railway rates only. Under LATER
tvs bill the commission would
have the power to determine what
the binder Irvine trust, the har-
vester trust, the vehicle trust, the
sugar trust, the beef trust, the
food trust, and even the oil trust
should charge for its products.
Ten per cent on the capital in
vested would probably be the
working rule of slch a commits
sion, and any trust doing an inter-
state business would at once be I'M
der its control.
With such q commission, IL it
only did its work as well as Ii has
done I'm determining freight rates,
the Standard Oil company would
sell gasoline for IL cents a gallon,
coal oil would go at about 8 cents,
all farm implements would be
cheaper, canned goods, sugar,
flour, all staples that are controII-
ed by stock manipulating cllques
would be sold 20 the public at a
fair profit to the trust, and there
would be no more freezing out of
the little manufactures by monop-
oily grabbing, because there would
be no reason TO gobble, If the big
fellow could make no more than
an honest profit ON the invest
ment.
1t is a simple, plain, fair, honest
little BIT of bill; IL remains to be
seen what congress will do with a
plain, simple, honest little bit of a
bin.
But. anyway. that's the sort of

line, who started for the visitors,
got off bad and Bassy, Rocken-
field and Morse got hits In sue
cessfon, putting two runs across
the pan. Tacoma got one again
In the fourth, but the score was
even after the Pippins had put
one over On the third and two In
the sixth. It looked like a pretty
tight game in the seventh, but in
the eighth Bloomfield went bad
and three more Tiger tallies came
in.
In that fatal seventh, Lynch
got to first on Mundorff's bad peg
to first, and Burns singled. Fisher
forced Lynch at third. Gordon
flew out but Bassey walked and
the bases were again full. With
two strikes and three balls on
Coley, Burns started home as
Bloomfield wound-up. 1t was a
nice play, as Burns would be
forced in If the pitcher threw
wide to catch the runner, and If
It was strike there was chance
for the hit and run play. But
Bloomfield, seeing Burns running
for home, jumped out of the box.

the batter, which according to
baseball law, is balk. Anyhow,
Bddie laid under Harris when
Bloomfield threw to the plate,
and the umpire was spared a rul-
ing on the alleged baIk. Then
after Coley had walked, Fisher
and Bassey scored on Rocken-
fields scratch hit.
+, In the seventh Mundorff drove
a homer between Lynch and Bas-
sey, and as Miller was ahead of
him on the bags, two scores were
put over for the Pippins. Blaine

PLAY

The graduating class of the
high school made a hit last night
in presenting the play "Phoebe's
Romance" and long before the
hour for starting, the doors had
to be closed and hundreds of anx-
ious persons who desired to see
the play were turned away.
Miss Louis Quilliam took the
title role last night. The play
will be repeated tonight and the
part will be taken by Miss Blanch

How Denmark Teaches Itself.

Booker T. Washington, in the
Worlds Work for June, says that
the agricultural prosperity of
Denmark is due, in large measure,
to the rural schools scattered
throughout the country. These
schools give a winter course In
farming to boys and a summer
course in household arts to girls.
Besides this, the schools give
courses Of IL days each to men
and to women. During the
period of instruction, these older
people live in the school, Just as
the younger students do, and gain
thus the benefit of an intimate as
sociation with each other and
with their teachers.

The Ricebird Uses His Bulky Enemy

People generally associate size and
brute strength with victory, especially
among the lower animals. Many times,
however, this is far from being the
case, especially i'm the bird kingdom.
Among the rice flats of the Car0linaS
there abound at some seasons of the
year tiny ricebirds, birds So small that
it takes two dozen for n good meal,
though bones and all are eaten.
The great buZZard is found circling
over the flats at all seasons. He dreaIs

smouldered in the depths of her eyes;
the tenderness with which her senses
seemed to drink in the daring luxury;
the smile that played about her lips,

CANE CAR CRASHES
INTO KAPAA AUTO

Car No, 6S, belonging to the
Kapaa Auto Co., and driven by Mr. ,
Ebbinger, was struck by a loose
cane car at the crossing below the
Hotel Fairview Saturday about 4
p. m, and so badly damaged that
further progress W impossible.
The cane car struck the rear wheel
of the auto which skidded to one
side instead of turning over. This
was a lucky part of the accident,
otherwise h e passengers might
have been more or less injured
in an overturned car.
The left hind wheel was broken
and the axle so badly sprung as to
render it impossible to move the
