for Tacoma generally, however,
as the apparatus is below the hill
on the Chamber of Commerce
building and the real heavy gales
have a tendency to be DETECTED

never hit it.
Citizens are found in great
number who imagine the wind
blew at least twice what the gov
eminent report showed. At all
events 1t blew hard enough to
mash in the west face of the
court house clock. 1t also put
the Steilacoom street car line out
of commission four hours yester-
day, blowing a big tree across the
line at Chambers creek.

TIPS LOOKED
TOO GOOD TO
WATERS

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Explan-
alton of why the general strike of
hotel employees, sanctioned yes
terday, died with the old year
was given today by officers of the
international Hotel Workers
union here. The strike was
timed for the busiest moments of
the year, when hotels, restaurants
and cafes were Overlooking with
New Years eve crowds. Less
than 800 men quit work.
Union leaders said the walters
did not strike because the big
hostelries signed contracts grant
ing the new demands. The hotel
managers declare, however, that
the walters refused to obey the
strike order because they did not
care to sacrifice the big tips
usually given on New Years eve.

NEW YEARS

Just as the new year was ush-

30 years old, ended her life at

She had been drinking with a
number of other jewellers and
retired to her bedroom just before

poison and was dead before as
