WORLD PEACE

Governor Ernest Lister ad-
dressed a large audience last
night at the East congregational
church in connection with the
Countrywide Peace day obssrva-
ton, lin which he dealt with the
destructive effects Of the Euro
pean war.
THE United States stands out
as one big strong nation striving
for peace. AS a result of the
presidents proclamation and its
observance, this day has grown
beyond that of q day of prayer
for the cessation OF war and de-
veloped into a big peace day" he
said.
sT'he only solution 10 the war
question of the day is the creation
of SOME International commission
co direct the navies, which might
be utilized for police duty alone.
4 trust the war will continue
until such time as the nations in
VOWED will realize that no bene-
fits can ever accrue to any of
them we she'll not

RICH CINDERELLA
WINS HER PRINCE


NEW YORK, Oct. b.-New
Works Million Dollar Cinderel-
IA" has found her prince and is
goins to be married to him octo-
Der 22 In Grace Church with all
the paraphernalia of a fashiona-
BILE wedding.
Her other name is Catherine
Livingston Hammersley and she is
the better half of the famous
Hammersley twins about whom
Robert w. Chambers wrote one of
his most successful novels of So
ciety-"The Danger Mark"
By the terms of her fathers
will, Miss Hamersley who inner
tied more than a million from his
estate was kept in ignorance of
the fact that she had any money
at all until she reached the age
of 81. And her twin brother,
Louis, was reared in similar sim
plicfty. Before James Hooker
Hamersley died in 1901, he had
ness that poison the childhood
of the poor little rich girls of New
York.
To prevent his daughter from
growing up into that worst of
human pests, the female cad, he
made her a rich little poor girl
by leaving her to the care of Mrs.
katherine Lowrie with specific in
situations that little Kitty was
never to know she was q great
heiress but must be brought up
TO believe that she owed every
thing to the kind mfddleaged
won an with whom she lived.
4 New York Trust company
was made the guardian of the
Hamersley millions and biue-eyed
Kitty and her brother and twin,
Louis Gordon Hamersley, were
reared as simply as though they
would both have to earn a living
when they grew up.
They wore plain inexpensive
clothes, they had ordinary every
day ten cent toys. And their al
lowanee of pocket money was 25
cents a MONTH
AS a result the golden-haired
girl whom New York calls it's
Million Dollar Cinderella, is
quite unspoiled. And she really
knows something. Her friends
say she speaks French and Ger
man very well and that she floors
any chappie she wants to get rid
of with a Latin quotation.
For, OF course, she could not
have qualified as a Robert w.
Chambers heroine unless she
knew how to juggle the classics.
In Chambers novels. you know,
even the BUTLER quotes Cicero and
the artist-models and chorus
girls lisp Latin and Greek.

HERE'S ANOTHER
OFFER OF POWER
SITE To TACOMA

]. w. Mitchell, a Seattle ply
stefan, wrote to Mayor Fawcett
today offering Tacoma a 10000
horsepower site to the city of
Tacoma for $4,000.
Mitchell, whose offices are In
the Eitell buildfns Seattle, did
not name the location of the site,
but said that Il was convenient 70
Tacoma, and declared that he
could guarantee 10000 continu-
GUS horsepower ON a 12-hour
load factor.
IL is improbable that any at
tention will be paid to the offer,
because the city council, by ac-
eepting the budget today, pra eth
eally obviated any chance of OBJ
tanning an auxiliary power plant
for Tacoma during the coming
year.

department, $4,000 for the pur-
chase of street-flushing equip
ment, $500 for an automobile for
the fire alarm electricians, and
5000 for a record-cabinet for
Controller Meads. The $4,000
scow and slip for waterfront fire
protection was left in the budget.
According to the final action
on the budget today, IL mills will
be the tax levy only for district
No. L, which comprises most of
the central part of Tacoma.
The small districts wifi have a
lower tax levy, as follows:
No. 2, 14.3459 mills; Nos. 8
and 4, 1881 mills. and No. 3.
f0.645 mills.
This variation I'm tax levy
is accounted for by the varia-
tion In property valuation I'm
the different districts, and
the fact that district No. 4,
where most of the taxpayers
live, pays nearly all of the
interest ON bonds and other
standing debts.
The property valuation of Ia
coma, as perfected today by As
SCISSOR Cook and Controller Meads,
follows: District No. l, s50,954,-
$50; No. 2, ss.199.255; No. 3
and 4, s2.056,094; No. s, $685.
SOS.
Although today was the day
set for remonstrances by taxpay-
ers to the new municipal budget
and the 1915 tax levy, there was
not a voter present In the council
room who offered protest.
Mayor Faweett called out three
times to the audience asking for
complaints against the estimates
of city expenditures for the COM
ing year, and no one offered a
single complaint.

Hamersley twins we're called the
"Seagrave children" wards of the
Half Moon Trust company, but
everybody in society recognized
them and the newspapers printed
parallel columns showing that
Chambers couldn't possibly have
meant anybody else.
So thoroughly were the twins
impressed with the idea that they
were merely in fairly comfortable
circumstances and absolutely de-
pendent on Mrs. Lowrie that
when a little boy in Central Park
walked up to the million dollar
Cinderella and her brother and
said, DO you know that you are
the richest children in New
York;" Cinderella replied:
Somebody has told you an
awful fairy tale, little boy" and
never again bothered to ask her
guardian about It.
At one time Kitty Hamersley
was reported engaged to Vincent
Aston, who was very attentive to
her. And from time to time varf-
Gus other young men less wealthy
have sought the light of her gold

Cinderella never felt the prince
had really come for her till she
met Samuel Nelson Hinckley
whom she will marry this month.

FINAL BUDGET
CUT MADE; TAX
Is THE Limit

Tacoma will pay the maxi
mum tax levy-15 mills
during 1918.
After pruning and cutting
the budget today for a total
of $10,S0O more, and maxi
ing the estimate of expenses
for 1915 S2f4,00O lower
than the expenses of 1914,
the city council unanimously
accepted a 15-mil1 levy to-
day.
''rm glad It's over" de-
clared Mayor Fawcett. "It's
been an awful task to cut the
levy down so far"
BY the 15-mill levy, Tacoma
will raise $s17,2e0 for actual ex-
penses of the city, payment of in
terest, and operating charges,
during 1915. The levy really
would produce $685. o, but the
council deducted from this
amount one per cent of taxes that
would be unpaid during the year,
and that could therefore not be
relied upon.
Cut Off Five Ffremen.
The most radical cut today
I'm the budget was the elimin-
alton of five hosemen from
the fire department. These
men receive $50 a month,
making q total saving of
50, 100 I'm n year.
Its a dangerous cut to make, "
said Mills, but l offer this cut
because we must make a radical
retrenehment in city expenses In
order to stay within the tax levy.
Keep Our Scow.
The council also cut out 81, 200
in salaries for sewer maintenance,
$1,000 in salaries for repairing
walks and crossings, $1,000 for
general work In the public works
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1914-10-05

the different fire stations were
paid in cash, preventing the city
employees from wasting city time
their money.
Today was the first time in the
city history that salaries were
paid In cash. A total of $4,000
in cash will be paid out to city
employees before the end of the
week.

SLUMP IN SHAD BUSCINESS.
Shad Business Experiencing Slump
on South Carolina Coast. Supply
Decreasing.


Georgetown, March Wednesday,
March 25, the shad season for South
Carolina waters, will come to an end.
And 1t will mark the closing of the
mercial fishing for shad in these wat
ers.
Chairman Ilarrigan Of the state fish
commission, asked for an estimate Of
the catch of the current season and a
comparison with the one preceding,
replied that the catch of this season
would not be over onc-third the catch
Of 19l3-l4. The chairman couldn't ac-
count for the extraordinary slump in
shad; he knew that the fish hadn't been
running, that was the condition, which
possibly the experts at Washington
might in some way explain.
The slump in shad has been going on
for several years The catch in the
State in 1912-l3 amounted to $4,000
fish, and at Georgetown 10000 fish
Last season the catch at Georgetown
was 10000 fish and this season 1t drops
to 10000 fish. Nor is there the slightes
possibility for it to pull up to much bet
ter figures in the few days remaining
Fishermen are hauling off, because
prices have slumped in the northern
markets, owing to the coming in Of
North Carolina and Virginia shad. The
fish from Georgetown invariably COM
mand higher prices in New York than
those from any other section, because
they come into market earlier and for
some reason they are Of especially fine
flavor. Georgetown roes" always top
the market During the season they
have been worth 50 to $2.25 each, with
bucks running from rs cents to 81.
Many OF tho local fishermen. and
dealers who supply fishermen, will lose
money on the seasons business.
