Too Many Persons In
Car Will Mean Fine
COUNCIL PASSES ORDINANCE WHICH REQUIRES BETTER
SERVICE-RAIIROAD PEOPLE OFFER PRO
VAIN.
The street car company must

The street car company must
give good service now.
This morning, following on the
heels of the supreme court decis-
ion yesterday affirming the city's
right to compel the running OF
sufficient cars to take care of the
travel the council passed Mayor
Fawcett's ordinance putting a fine
on the company and on any con-
ductor who permits car to be
overloaded with strap hangers.
A limit of 20 per cent more
than the seating capacity of a car
is allowed.
That lis If a car wifi seat 60 per-
sons the conductor may allow ~
to get on but If he allows 73 then
he will be fined 500 and possi-
bly, sent to jail for 80 days. The
company is also liable to fine.
Another section of the ordi-
nance provides relief for the peo-
pie who may be shut off the cars
and who are left waiting at the
crossing. The company is re-
Quired to have cars so that no one
will be permitted 10 stand waiting
more than 10 minutes between the
hours of G and 8 in the morning
and and Z in the evening.
If anyone has to wait longer
than 10 minutes for a car then
the company is in for a fine of
800.
Manager Bean was before the
council and asked that the ordi-
nance be not passed. He said the
company was trying to give good
service without any such measure
Commissioner Roys objected 10
the ordinance. He said efforts
had been made in old councils to
pass such an ordinance but that
they had always been voted down.
The mayor showed disposition to
push this through, however, and
after Freeland and Lawson had
voted for the ordinance Roys saw
1t was passed anyway and he
jumped on the band wagon and
the thing went through unanim-
ously.
Assistant City Attorney Baker,
who drew the ordinance, says it
will stick.
"The supreme court has affirm
ed OUR right to enforce the run
ming of enough cars to take care
of the people and we are going to
enforce 1t and see that they give
this city good and sufficient
street car SERVICE" said Baker.
Baker says 1t will be rood for
the company, too. He declared
the conductors are losing lots OF
fares now because they cannot col
lect them in the crowded cars. On
one Point car recently when he
got off the conductor had rung uI
SO fares but there were 81 pas.
sengers seated and 81 standing by
actual count so the conductor lost
at least IA on that trip, which
would be 70 cents on that one cal
load.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 5.-A con-
stftutional amendment providing
for "votes for women" has been
prepared by Senator Bell of Pasa-
dena and will go to the committee
on elections. The makeup of this

and of being submitted to the
voters of the state for ratifica-

Winter in the Alps.

Winter In the Alps.
The cleaning Swiss sun shone
on the snow capped peaks of the
Yammerhorn and the Buttermilch
till they glistened. Brooding
silence lowered over glacier, Gre
vase and the far-off schuetzenfest
in the valley.
A line of tiny black figures on
a snowy eminence crept along like
files on a lump of cream cheese.
They were mountain climbers.
Ha, another figure is discenrned,
but entirely alone. This is Emil
Edelweiss, the intrepid climber,
who, like DR.. Cook, wished alone
to have the glory of first putting
his foot upon an untrodden peak.
No ropes nor snail-like progress
for Emil.
See him now. He has reached
point where one fatal misstep
means being hurled to Oblivion ten
thousand feet down, down to the
foot of the precipice, where nestled
the rustic village of Zwiebli.

go forward. The rock crumbles

totters and

SEATTLE, Jan. 5.-Mail Clerk
Harry o. Clark, who was shot by
the masked bandits who held up
the Northern Pacific train as 1t
pulled out of the local station last
night, was resting comfortably at
the hospital today and it is believ-
ed that he will survive. Nearly
every tooth in his mouth was shot
out when the bullet plowed its
way through his face.
The sheriff's posse is still
searching the suburban district
and thirty detectives are securing
the lodging house district in Sc
attic today for the two men who
perpetrated the bold hold-up. 1t
is feared that If the men gain en-
trance to Seattle they will escape.

deputies in the search for the
bandits, but 1t is now regarded as
a certainty that the men were
criminals of no mean caliber and
undoubtedly have gained the city
and have made good their escape.
There is no estimate of the
amount of the loot, but as most
of the banking institutions were
in the habit of sending large sums
to eastern correspondents on this

thousands.

CLERK AND LOOT CAR
BOARD NORTH LIMITED SEATTLE AND sHoo
HARRY o. CLARK BEFORE HE CAN HOLD UP HAND
- STOLEN UNKNOWN.

O'Clock last night, the door of the
United States mail car was thrown
open and two masked men ran in.
Leveling revolvers at Clerks Har-
ry o. Clark and Charles e. Reid,
they ordered them to throw up
their hands. Before the men had
a chance to comply one of the
bandits shot Clark in the face and
the latter dropped to the floor
of the car. The other outlaw
forced Reid into the clothes closet
in one corner of the car and
Clark's unconscious form was
thrown in after him. The out
laws then picked up a leather
satchel containing IA packages of
registered mail and left the car.
1t is supposed they dropped off
near Argo or at Kent, when the
train slowed down for the cross
ing at that station.
Blood Leads to Closet.
Trainmen discovered the open
door of the mail car at Auburn,
where the Tacoma section is
coupled onto the train, and trail
OF blood on the car floor led to
the clothes closet, where Reid and
Clark were found. Clark was
brought to Seattle for medical
treatment and Reid continued on
his run east.
