CITY BEGINS
AWARDING OF
BOND ISSUE

The city council this afternoon
is awarding the 100000 issue
of refunding bonds to the four
big Chicago houses on their bid
made Saturday of $500 pre-
MUM.
These bonds draw five per cent
interest, but they are to be paid
off from year to year beginning
with $4,000 the first year and
increasing $4,000 a year until
they are all paid.
By this method of payment the
city will save much in interest.
The total interest that will be
paid on the whole issue from
now until they are retired will be
$1,435.000. This is less than II
the bonds had been issued for 20
years straight at 1-2 per cent.
in that case the interest would be
$1,S90,000.

BY GERTRUDE PRICE.

CHICAGO, April 21.-Married
people should never live In the
same house!
This is the astounding theory Of
Lillian Bell Bogue, author and
playwright, who has tried the old
fashioned way of wedlock and
found 1t wanting.
Her new articles of faith,
unique enough to be interesting,
require husbands and wives to
have Il
Separate establishments, side
by side, or in different parts OF
the city.
Separate telephones.
Separate mail boxes, and
Separate bank accounts.
She believes that wife should
never see her husband without a
collar or without shave, and
that a husband should never see
his wife with cold cream on. her
face, curl papers in her, hair or
wearing an unbecoming gown.
The failure of marriage, she
declares, Is usually due to the
fading of the illusions OF. engage
ment days.
"The whole married world is
suffering from too much famili-
arity," she announced

marriage bells have rung and

Stop selling light contrary to
the law or revoke Its franchise.
That Is the ultimatum of the
city council this morning to the
Stone-Webster people which have
been ordered to stop the sale of
electric current to the Northern
Pacific, Sperry Mills and others
for lighting purposes.
After going over the law in the
case Judge Stiles decided that the
city can enforce the franchise and
charter provision in this city
which give the city a monopoly
of. the light business. Accord
ingly he prepared resolution
which Lawson this morning intro
duced and which was unanimous

for the sale Of power in this city.
The Stone-Webster people now
are selling power amounting to
hundreds of thousands of dollars
a year in Tacoma. The bill for
the smelter alone will run over
100000 and several other COM
panies buy power running up
above the $4,000 mark. The city
is determined to revoke the fran
chise of the company unless 1t
obeys the law.
1t further gave notice that If
1t did revoke the franchise 1t
would at the same time forfeit
the poles and wire lines of the
company to the city.
Commissioner Woods was given
orders to at once notify the COM

Where Would We Draw the LlmIt7
To the Editor Of The Times:
There Is something very pathetic,
and, too. something very astonishing
in the many communications that have
recently appeared in The Times con-
corning the advisability, the humanity
and the morality OF helping out OF
life OF suffering, those who are hope
iessly afflicted physically. II Is good
to note the tone or sympathy that Is
expressed, the desire 70 end suffering,
the pain others feel with the afflicted.
All these things We admire. But
when we come TO scrutinize the logic
OF those who contend that a kind
physician should be allowed to end q
life OF excruciating agony. TO use his
own Judgment, TO take the awful re-
sponsibility OF passing judgment and
executing II. we pause and hold our
breath, and hesitate to give our con-
sent to any such proceeding.
The logic Of such a proceeding IL
faulty In the extreme. Have We stop

fering? II we attempt to end physical
and incurable agony, and justify our
selves In doing 80. shall we not 90
