THE POLICE SAY It
WAS A FALSE ALARM
Called by Phone and Told of Murder
and Robbery, But Was Nothing
Doing.

"Come quick, there has been girl
shot by man at Eighteenth and Oak
Streets" was the startling message re-
ceived last night over the phone at the
police station, and Officers Welch and
Irwin Immediately responded by max
ing haste to the location mentioned,
by auto, but could find no trace of
murder or any other crime having been
committed in the vicinity.
When the police arrived at the home
they found the bedclothes in one of
the rooms thrown aside, the lid of a
trunk turned back and the contents
scattered about the floor. A young wo-
man, whose name even the police failed
to get, declared that man had thrown
an infant child on the floor, and Sc.
cured twenty-dollar bill from under
the bed covers and later ransacked the
trunk and stole five-dollar gold piece.
A diligent search was made by the Of.
ficers, but nothing could be ascertained
which might lead to the apprehension
Of the guilty party, who is alleged to
have been responsible for the "rob,
berry"
Chief of Police Shedeck stated today
that he did not believe any robbery
had been committed, and further search
for evidence has been discontinued.
When the appeal for aid first came
into the station, Officers Welch and
Irwin Immediately summoned Joe I'm
derwood, the taxi driver, and directed
him to take them to the scene of the
supposed murder. Joe streaked it out
State street until he came to the Meth.
odist church, when his gasoline buggy
became funny, and before the driver or
the occupants knew what was happen
ing, the machine turned completely
around in the street and started back
for town.

TACOMA WILL BUILD
STREET CAR LINES
City So Decides When Local
Companies Refused to Ex-

TO EVENTUALLY OWN ALL
Franchises Of Roads Expire In Five and
Seven Years, City May Take
Them Over.

Tacoma, Wash, May 3.-FOllowing
unsuccessful negotiations with the local
traction management, Mayor Seymour
and the other city commissioners today
decided to build as a municipal project,
street car line extending from the
heart Of the city to the manufacturing
district on the tide flats, providing the
bond issue for that purpose is carried
at the special election May 10. The city
councilmen endeavored to effect a leas-
ing arrangement with the traction com
pany whereby its lines should be ex.
tended to accommodate the thousands
of laborers employed on the docks and
manufacturing establishments. When
this failed, the cOuncilmen announced
the city would undertake the construc.
tion and operation Of the line.
This action is looked upon as pre-.
saying ultimate municipal ownership of
all traction lines in the city. The fran.
chise Of the Tacoma Railway & Power
Company on two principal streets ex-

COMPANY LIKELY TO
GET AN EXTENSION
Prospect Excellent That Desert Board
viii Act Favorably in Land Con.
cern's Case.

Prospects were good when the desert
land board adjourned at IL O'Clock to-
day to 1880 that the Central Oregon
Irrigation Company would be given an
extension of time to January l, 1914, in
which to complete its canal improve
ment. A motion to that effect was
made by State Treasurer Kay, but no
action was taken because it was de.
sired to probe further into the affairs
Of the company. Assurances were given
by the officials Of the company that, if
given chance, they would expend $685.
600 forfeited from a sub.contractor in
finishing the north canal. 1t had been
proposed to forfeit this money to the
state, and use it in finishing the ca.
nal.
According to the management, there
is an abundance of water to supply
the needs Of the settlers, and the af
fairs of the company were in good
shape.
Statements showing the manner in
which total of $217, 1871 had been
expended in 1912 were submitted.
State Engineer Lewis had claimed
that the company had not expended It's
money through trustees, as provided by
the contract, but tho officials claimed
that there was need Of haste, as the
sub-contractor was looking for chance
to crawl out Of any loophole. Tech
nically they had acted wrongfully, but
the money had been expended on the
project, and no one had been injured in
any way. 1t was positively asserted
that an abundance Of water is going
through a flume and the canals to take
care Of all the needs Of the settlers
The new acreage taken care Of was
more than offset by the cancellations
1t was explained that the company
had been very lenient, and had al
lowed settlers to go for years before
canceling their contracts.
Total receipts of 1912 were $l93, ,495.
rs, $23,3s0 coming from tho guarantee
fund, $l5O,OO0O from its contract, ant

SMALL MAIN IS NOT
DESIRED ON STREET
High Street Residents Think
Six Instead of FOur-Tnch
Main Should Be Laid.
LARGE EXTENSION PLAN
Water Company, It Is Announced, WIN
Install Mains on Several Streets
In South Salem.

AT the meeting Of property owners Of
High street last night announcement
that the Salem Water company pro-
posed to install fOurinch water main
instead of six.inch main, brought
forth a storm Of protest. It was the
opinion that a fOur-inch main would be
inadequate to supply the needs of resi-
dents, and sentiment was unanimously
against any plan which would. mean
the tearing up of pavement in a few
years to put in larger main.
The discussion started after Council
man Gideon Stolz turned over to the
secretary of the meeting letter from
the water company in which its plans
for water extensions were outlined. The
councilman believed the plans Of the
company should be very acceptable, and
that they meant very satisfactory So
luton of the water question.
Plans Of Company.
The company proposes, according to
its letter, to install four-inch mains ON
High, Bush, Miller, Myers, Superior and
Rural, and connection will be made
across streets and with 10-inch mains
on Commercial and Lincoln. Stolz start
ed to read with the water company's
map to explain the plans, but some Of
his audience pointed out errors and the
councilman said the map was deceptive
This caused q. laugh.
The city engineer was called on to
say what was the life Of hard.surface
paving, and said he believed It would
last as long as any Of those present
would need it.
One person expressed the fear that
the water in tho 10.inch main on Com
mercial would be exhausted before it
got on High.
Heads Off Discussion.
Chairman Miller finally decided that
it was tho purpose Of the meeting to
select a pavement and halted this dis
cussion. One Of the property owners
took issue with the chairman and in.
sisted that the water question should
be decided first. He did not think that
the property owners or the city had
much to say about the water question
that the company did as it liked about
it.
Chairman Miller declared him out Of
order and Secretary Arens was instruct
ed to prepare and distribute ballots to
vote on the paving.
