Sentences to Be Asked.

The states attorney said he expected shortly to move for sentence on Leon- ardo Baptiste of this city, who was found guilty last Tuesday of assault with intent to murder but there is another prisoner upon whom sentence can probably be asked for at the same time.
 It is understood that Giuseppe Gfan- gregorio. who was Baptiste's antag onist m the assault and who shot Bap3iste through the hand. is ready to plead guilty and will receive sentence at the same time as Baptiste.

dered by the city for the general
good of the street car service, we
cannot (taking all the circum-
stances into consideration believe
that such action as you order would
meet with the approval of the ma
jority of our patrons.
There are certain of our short
lines on which such a rule would
result in no great inconvenience to
the riders. and to prohibit smoking
the following lines we have fol-
lowed out your former instructions
prohibiting smoking:
Tide Flats.
Old Town.
Sixth Avenue.

Eleventh Street.

There are outlying lines such as
the Old Steilacoom, Puyallup, Span

hours are consumed by our patrons
in making the trip to the city, and
L believe that the wishes and con-
Ventence of these people should be
considered. There are men who are
working in the factories. mills and
stores of Tacoma whose only leis-
ure time between their morning
meal and work time Is spent on the
cars, and as smoking is necessarily
prohibited In the mills. factories.
etc, their only opportunity for en-
Joyfng a smoke is consequently on

their only leisure time before their
evening meal is spent on the cars

lieve that to deprive these people
of this opportunity to while away
the time by smoking is not at all
justified by the circumstances. Con-
sequently, unless there is greater
pressure brought to bear in the
matter We cannot feel justified in
taking this right away on the long
outlying lines.
