There is an ordinance against drl'

ordinance will no doubt be rigidly en-
forced. Owners of COWS are rather
careless in sending their COWS te
pasture, the animals are allowed te
craze along the streets, on the PARK

the private lawns, much to the Diet

reouires that all cows must be leae

ATHLETES ARE
HONOREO IN
SWEDEN

STOCKHOLM, July 16.-The
American participants in the
Olympic games were photograph
ed In the stadium today and it
was almost as much of a function
as yesterdays award of the prizes
by the king of Sweden. Thou
sands of people turned out to see
the winning athletes grouped to-
gether, cheering them with tre-
mendous enthusiasm.
One of the pleasant things
about the American victory Is
that 1t seems to have left an
agreeable taste in everybody's
mouth. The winners seem to
have succeeded In making them
selves exceedingly opular, and
even the rivals whom they defeat
ed have nothing but kind things
to say of them.
The atmosphere Is much clearer
than Immediately following the
games at London four years ago
and, we're 1t not for the death or

READY WOULD MAKE AGE
LIMIT Fl YEARS,

Tacoma club women generally
favor the proposition to increase
the age limit under the curfew
law TO 1S years as is proposed in
new ordii>Snce introduced in the
city council this morning.
The law as IL now stands pro-
vides that no child under 10 may
be abroad on the streets I'm the
evenings unaccompanied without
written permit from parents or
guardian later than & o'clock In
the winter months nor o o'clock
during the months of May, June,
July and August.
If the new ordinance goes
through 1t will also keep In all
under Is years. 1t is recon-
mended by the social service
board.

Mrs. Elwell Hoyt, president of
the parent teachers association,
said she had not thought about
the change or the curfew law IT
self.
81 think the whole problem is
one of parental control. Most or
the difficulty parents have is not
knowing how to control the child.

MANGLEO BY
SWITCH TRAIN
DIES JUST AS HE WAS PLAC-
ED ON THE OPERATING
TABLE.

Mike Moore, aged Z6, a boiler
maker for the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & Puget Sound railroad, was
run down and fatally injured this
morning about s o'clock in the
Milwaukee yards while on the
way to work, dying just as he
was being placed on the operat-
ing table at the st, Joseph hos
pital half an hour later.
His left arm was completely
amputated at the shoulder and
his left leg was so horribly man
gled to bear no resemblance to a
human limb. He was stunned
by the shock and although he
losN considerable blood he did not
seem to be in great pain when
taken to the hospital.
Moore had Just stepped from
one train and started to cross the
netx track, having walked around
back of the engine he had Just
left SO that he did not see the
freight switch train approaching
until It was too late to step aside.
Several cars passed over him be-
fore the switch train could be
stopped and the injured man re-
moved from the track.
Moore has worked for or about
railroads practically all OF his
life. His father is a blacksmith
for the Milwaukee road at Du.
buque. Ia, and young Moore was
not married.

The Times interviewed 100 citi-
Zens today, taken at random on
the street, and just one had read
the port commission law, an elec-
tion for which will take place in
Pierce county July 80.
Ninety-three of the 100 de-
clared they knew nothing about
the proposition. The other six
had no clear conception of what II
means or what is back of it, and
were undecided as to how they
would vote.
William Jones, millionaire and
very shrewd and careful business
man, had not investigated.

tideflats, but not enough to in

development over there, but l dc
not want my other property in the
city taxed to pay for improve
ments for somebody else on the
tideflats," said Jones, after ad-
mitting he had not looked into
the present scheme.
Calvin w. Stewart, one of the
most progressive citizens, was un-
decided.
"I guess we will have to dc
something, but what l want to
know is whether under the port
commission we can have an ex-
tension of municipal docks" said
Stewart.
Ex-Mayor Linck said: II was
opposed to 1t at first, but If all
the people are going to be for IL

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.-
1t cost approximately $4,000 for
Miss Jennie Crocker to marry
Malcolm Whitman of New York
today.
Miss Croker is the wealthiest
heiress in California and her total
wealth is $10,000,000. The for
tune was made by Chas. Crocker,
builder of the Southern Pacific
railroad, who by sheer force COM
PEELED 10000 Chinese coolies to
put his road through, overcoming
almost impossible obstacles.
The descendants of the famous
railroad builder invest lots of
their surplus cash mostly In elab-
crate dog kennels, horses and
beautiful estates.
There were about 400 invita-
tions to the ceremony at the
church, and 200 guests at the
elaborate breakfast which follow
ed on the lawns of the Crocker
estate. All of which means, in
unsentimental mathematics, by
eliminating the cost of the we'd
ding presents, something like
$3.50 expended for the edifica-
tion and entertainment of each of
the guests.
OF the 200 guests at the we'd
ding breakfast, nearly 100 were
maids and matrons.
Each one of these spent, on an
average, an amount considerably
in excess of $3.50 for new
gown, slippers and flowers to wear
at the reception.
Henry Maier, an horticultural
expert. who has charge of Miss
Crocker's conservatories on her
Hillsborough estate. received in
structions to procure the entire
orchid supply of the peninsula and
convert the church into verita-
BILE bower of the exotics. 1t was
the largest and most costly dis
| play of the tropical blooms ever
seen in the United States.
To insure the safety of the Jew
els of bride and guests, Henry T.
Scott, who has managed the Crock
er interests. applied to the board
of trustees of Hillsborough for per
mission to take down squad OF
operatives from detective agency
in San Francisco.
All of which will run way uf
into the thousands. The expense
was borne by Miss Crocker out OF
the $40. 600 900 she inherited from
her grandfather. who made II

SEATTLE, July 16.-Investi-
cation Of the charge that certain
sinister influences have caused
the Seattle Merchants and Credit
Mems association to abandon
plans to present evidence In ex-
cessive receivership matters to
the Hanford investigating COM
mittee will occupy a considerable
proportion of today's proceedings.
Walter A. Mcclure, attorney for
Sutcliffe Baxter, who held seven
receiverships In the past few
years under Judge Hanford, was
recalled this morning, following
his testimony last night that he
really performed sufficient legal
services to entitle him to the
$4,000 In the Knosher Dry Goods
company bankruptcy.
Preceding Mcclure, Nelson r.
Anderson, an attorney for the
Credit Mems association, told the
committee that Baxter had pre-
sented a claim to Judge Hanford
for $4,000 to include fees for him
self and his attorneys, on the
ground that he had conducted the
Knosher business for a week. An
derson said that as a matter or
fact Baxter took charge at noon
one day, and the store was clos
ed up that same night.
Victor Carlson, painter, yes
terday afternoon gave probably
the most damaging testimony yet
obtained against Judge Hanford
on the charge of drunkenness.
He told the committee Of an oc-
casion when he saw the Judge on
a street car late one night.
He smelled the liquor and his
intoxicatton was apparent in his
actions" said Carlson. "He act
ed so indecently that the conduc-
tor had to let him off before he
reached his usual stopping place.
remarked to the conductor at
the time that IL 1t had been a
common man instead of a Judge
he would probably have been
kicked off II he had acted as
Judge Hanford did,"
The Judge Hanford cocktail
received much attention this
morning In the proceedings before
the congressional committee
which is Investigating the inn
parchment charges against Judge
g. H. Hanford.
w. j. Kerrigan, real estate
man, and Clarence Holden, auto
mobile man, both corroborated
the testimony of George Jacobs,
real estate man. that he won a
bet on the proposition that bar
tenders In nine saloons knew a
"Hanford cocktail" meant one
with an onion in it instead of an
olive. Kerrigan made the bet
and lost 1t after a test made at
the Rathskeller bar.
Fred w. Powell, Saratoga bar
tender,sa he never heard of
"Hanford cocktail" until three or
four days ago.
w. e. Hayes, bartender, testi-
fed to the same effect.
Govnor Teats, member of the
legislature, related an Incident
during a damage trial when a
Juror left the court room for flve
minutes while the Judge was
asleep and did not know of the
jurors absence.

brought out the solon's opinion
that you've got to have mighty
good case to get by Judge Han

tion by Attorney Hughes for the
