WOULD MAKE
T. R. & P. PAY

Mayor Fawcett today denied
the report that the city council
was preparing, to allow the Ia
coma Railway & Power Co. to OPP
crate south side cars over the
Tacoma avenue fill without
charge. The T. r. & p. Co. has
refused to pay the $4,000 annual
rental that the city demands.
Perhaps the commissioners
will try to scheme out some way
to hand this nice bit of right-of-
way to the street car company
free" said the mayor. "but l, for
one, am strictly against such Z
proposition.
COMMISSIONS Woods wants to
allow the T. r. q p. to use Ia
coma avenue II it will extend its
Pacific avenue line to 64th street.
"That would help out the Pa
Scific avenue people, but 1t would
give no revenue to the city, OBJ
y1ected the mayor. "If the people
ttand firm, we can force the
street car company to pay us for
using Tacoma avenue. It wants
the street and will be willing to
pay for it."

Riots
Wreck Shops

LONDON. May IA final de-
cision was reached today to in
terne all German alians, for their
own protection. Even while the
decision was being reached, there
was rioting.
The calm, unexcitable British
temperament showed its calm I'M.
excitability yesterday by a series
of terrific riots in which every
shop or signboard that bore Z
German name was sufficien'
cause for wrecking and looting.
Their anger at white heat over
the sinking of the Lusitania, the
mobs could neither be stopped by
the police nor by the organized
battalion of aliens who at length
massed to meet them.
1t is not certain that there
were any fatalities, but hundreds
of shops were ruined. Many of
them were owned by Germans
who had become naturalized
Still others were Americans with
German names.

regret for mob violence is temper

suit. In substance the mob was
