JUDGESMAYSUE
FOR MEMORIAL
DAY SALARY

The rumblings of a second bat
tie between the superior court
judges of Pierce county and the
county commissioners were heard
this morning at the court house.
The cause of trouble this time,
as it was in a recent suit between
the bodies, is salary. When the
payroll for May was made up last
week, Clerk Weisbach detracted
one days salary from all court Of
ficials, it is said, ON account of
Memorial day.
An argument a-ose. but when
the salary warrants were issued
today they were minus one days
pay. According to some of the
older court officials, this is the
first time that such a question
has ever come up.
The judges and employees today
countersigned their salary war
rants at the top of the slip, thus
obviating the obligation that is
printed on the endorsing side of
the check.

There's young woman IN Ia

Rather a strange role for a
pretty girl, age 22, with ability
to act, sing, and even play the

The young woman is Miss Kate

Native women of all classes ap-

She's equal to almost every

MUSIC SPO|LS
MARRIED LIFE
SAYS DOCTOR
WIFE GROWS TIRED OF WE'D
DED LIFE AS MUSICAL EDIT-
CATION BECOMES HER ONE
DESIRE.

His wife travelling in Europe,
DR.. John b. Burns, a physician,
recently removed from North
Yakima to Tacoma, was granted
a divorce by Judge Card today.
DR.. Burns declared that his
wife, in search of a musical edu-
cation, had become tired of we'd
ded life and had left him. The
last he heard of her, he said, was
when she left New York for
Europe on an extensive trip.
''She was unhappy with me, l
guess" testified the physician.
"At least she said she was. ] paid
for her music lessons and did
everything in my power TO make
life pleasant.
"She is a vocalist and has a
nice voice, but l think her educa-
ton was just a bluff"
DR.. and Mrs. Kathryn Burns
were married in San Jose in 1910
and moved to North Yakima.
Mrs. Burns left her husband, he
testified, in January, 1912, and
he came to Tacoma shortly after
wards. Mrs. Burns received no.
tice of the divorce action, but
made no resistance.

Did the city council let lose its
toe-hO1d on Stone-Webstcr??
The cross bill of the city TO for
felt the power franchise of the
II. II. a. p. company comes up be-
fore Judge Easterday Tuesday.
On the eve of this trial Judge
Shackelford and Manager Bean
appeared i'm the council chamber
Monday morning and before they
left they had authority from the
council to do just what the city
is trying to forfeit their franchise
for doing.
In this suit the company found
itself in this predicament:
1t was plainly violating the
franchise. And the franchise it
self provided for forfeiture If 1t
did so violate it. But even If the
company did not have Its fran
chise forfeited completely by the
court it is almost a dead certain
ty the court would decide 1t must
stop selling light current instan-
ter.
With this court order on the
Northern Pacific would at once
turn to the city for current. And
when it got current for light it
would also take 1t for power as
its wiring is arranged for this
business.
So If the Stone-Webster people
lost the light they bid fair to lose
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1913-06-02

the power also. And IL they lost
the N. p. they would lose the
Sperry mills the same way. And
all similar business.
So the company came before
the council and got the council to
agree to let 1t continue during the
suit to sell juice to the N. p. for
light and power IL they will buy
an equal amount of power from
the city. This will keep the city
from connecting up its wires with
che N. p. And Stone-Webster may
still hang onto the big power
business even If 1t loses the light
part of the lawsuit.
Judge Stiles had a resolution
already fixed up for the council
and on his recommendation that
1t was all right, the council pass
ed 1t at once without any parti-
cular consideration.
Judge Shacxelford even sug-
gested that they make the ar
rangements permanent and drop
the lawsuit.
1t remains to be seen whether
the city has not put its foot In
1t deep by this action of the COM
pany as there appears to be no
real reason why the company
should be so eager for this action
just on the date of the lawsuit
unless 1t expected to use the
city's action for future benefits.

PEOPLE SUFFER
FOR LACK OF
WATER TODAY

The city at the opening of the
first real warm spell of the year
suddenly Sunday evening found
itself up against a serious water
famine. This continued today
and on the high spots Monday
morning very few people were
able to get any water at all.
According to the department
the trouble is due to the fact that
a transformer at South Tacoma
pumping plant burned out thus
knocking out the pump and pre-
venting the pumping of the water.
With what pumps they could run
it was impossible to get up force
enough to push the water to the
heights with the heavy drain
there was on the service all over
town due to sprinkling and other
use of the water.
1t was expected to have the
service going again about noon
today.

RESSES IN MONTANA-RE-

TIERS AFFIRMS ALL LOCAL
RUMORS.

Definite cOrroboration of rue
mOrs that have flOated about the
Northwest for months regarding
the Canadian Pacific lines inter-
est in Tacoma and its purchase
of tideland terminals here, is CIV
en- today i'm dispatches from Deer
Lodge, Mont. The 500 line, which
is virtually the Canadian Pacific,
has purchased several hundred
acres of tidelands in Tacoma, ac-
cording to today's dispatches and
the proposed $1,OOO,OOO depot
plans for the Milwaukee line here
have been halted until more elab-
crate plans could be made.
The 500 line is now building
through Montana, and the definite
announcement that reached Taco
ma today came from the center
of actual activity in the lines
construction.
The dispatch follows:
Deer Lodge, Mont, June D.
With the city of Tacoma as it's
terminus, the 500 line, which is
now extending through Montana,
is making good headway. The
work will be completed in less
them two years. The fact that this
road recently purchased several
hundred acres of tideflats and
terminal grounds i'm Tacoma,
shows that eventually there will
be another transcontinental line
in the Northwest under the con-
troll of the Canadian Pacific.
An understanding has been
reached whereby the Soc will use
the Milwauk ee's tracks across the
state of Washington, but will con-
struct Its own freight terminals In
Tacoma and Seattle.
Plans for the new 100000
passenger terminal which was to
have been built by the Milwaukee
in Tacoma, have been recalled in
order that they may be enlarged
so as to accommodate the 500
and the Canadian Pacific railway
trains which are to use the same
terminals.
