AT THE TACOMA

Equally as wonderful as "The
Melting Pot" Walker Whiteside
gave Tacoma theatergoers a thrill
last night with his "Typhoon,"
a problem play correctly attired
in every detail as far as Japanese
atmosphere Is concerned.
The play deals with the love OF
a Japanese for his Nippon and it
shows him sacrificing himself
that his country's interests may
be served.
Walker as Tokaramo, has been
sent to Berlin in the interests or
his government mad lets a blue
eyed German girl heel his heart
into the earth. When he fines
out that she had deceived him,
he strangles her in a moment of
frenzy. But real Nipponese de-
votion is illustrated in the sacri-
flee of another young Japanese
who is chosen to die FOR Toker-
amos crime that the latter might
pursue his work for his country.
And Tokeramo goes on with hts
work and when it is finished,
he expires, unable to stand the
strain.
THE Typhoon," if you like
problem plays when they are well
produced, should not be overlook
ed for heaven knows there are
few enough good plays. Walker
Whiteside and a very capable
caste will reappear tonight in
THE Typhoon'' at the Tacoma.

sanitary drinking fountain, and just
above the fountains are electric lights.

GIRL FOR WEEKS WAGES

In Henry Brown, negro who this
morning confessed TO killing Eva
Green in Pittsburg last November the
Atlanta detective department again be-
lieves it has captured the man respon-
sible for the majority of the Jack the
Ripper crimes last year.
Brown is 35 years old He was cap
tured in West End last Monday, but
maintained his innocence until this
morning, when the overwhelming evil
dence forced a confession. Detectives
Cocker and Handy, who made the arrest,
believe that the other ripper" crimes
can be traced to him.
Brown will be bound over this after
noon by Recorder Broyles
Half dozen Saturday nights in sue
cession last year a negro woman was
found murdered by the police. The
death usually was a slit across the
throat Crimes Of this nature contin-

negro women victims was more than
fifteen.

SEABOARD WILL NOT
MAKE A VOLUNTARY
INCREASE IN TAXES

The Seaboard Air Line railroad has
informed Comptroller General Wright
that it will not voluntarily increase its
tax returns for 1912. The returns made
by the Seaboard for 1912 show a de-
crease of $99O,01O over the same rail-
roads returns for 1911 and exhibit
decrease of more than 81, 900, 900 over
the figures fixed by the comptroller
S13,140,349.
This means that the Seaboard re-
turns will go to arbitration. In 1911
the Seaboard failed to increase its re-
turns and an arbitration board reached
an agreement giving the state a large
increase This year the railroad re-
ported $4,000 more taxable property
than in 1911, but decreased the returns
almost a million, despite the fact that
the comptroller had fixed an increase
on all Georgia railroads based upon net
earnings.
