City TO Pass
a Prohibition
Ordinance, Too

In order that the city may
pocket all fines assessed In po-
lice court after Jan. 1 for vio-
lation of the prohibition law, a
municipal prohibition ordinance
was introduced at today's council
session. City Attorney Stiles
drew the measure.
The ordinance, which does not
60 into effect until the first of
the year, follows closely the prohi-
bition law.
Under this ordinance, which
has priority in the city over the
state law, the police department
may make arrests. II there were
no such ordnance, the city council
argues, all fines would 60 into
the county and state treasures.
A first offender may be fined
as high as 500; for q second
offense the fine will be not less
than $50 nor more than 500, and
for a third offense the fine shall
be 800. with. a possible 30-day
JAIN sentence added.

BAL A n
CRISIS
CLOSER

E LONDON, Sept. 22.-Europe is
in state of feverish excitement
because of the momentous de-
velopments in the Balkans.
Reports of Bulgaria's mobili2a-
tion have been confirmed by local
military officers, and a declara-
tion Of war against Serbia Is "a
pected any moment.
j Bulgarians and Serbians who
are away from their native lands
have been called home to the COL
ors.
All the railroads have been
taken over for military use.
General Savoff, one head of the
Bulgarian forces, has been called
to Sofia to take charge again.
The streets of Sofia are filled
with wildly enthusiastic crowds,
shouting for war.
No confirmation could be gain
ed from Sofia of a Washington
announcement that Bulgaria had
ordered the mobilization of her
forces.
Reports from Swiss sources
said that Austria and Germany In
tended to sweep against the Ser
bians next week.
German newspapers are declar-
ing they are confident Bulgaria
will invade Serbia when the first
Austro- German blow is made.

BY A. J. Eldred

Sixteen years ago, with no
capital except $50 donated in
labor, a few farmers in the Puy-
allup valley founded an associ-
alton, und held their first little
fair.
1t was the precursor of the
present association, with it's
100000 in tangible assets, its eff
cient business organization, and
its record of drawing the biggest
crowds of any fair in the north
west, not even barring the state
fair at North Yakima.
During all the 16 years the
fairs has been history of coop
GRAFTON and freely-given services.
Officers have drawn no salaries,
have stood in on no privileges.
Next Wednesday when Presi-
dent w. II. Paulhamus appears at
the gate he will show season
pass for himself and family-and
it will not have complimentary"
or official stamped on 1t either.
"A Real Education"
In these respects, the Puyallup
fair stands out as distinctive
among exhibits of its kind, as
does the valley cooperative plan
of marketing and manufacturing.
What kind of fair is this one
to be-" Senator Paulhamus was
asked by Times man. What's
going to be its big feature?'
Agriculture, education, seri-
GUS accomplishments" said Paul
hamus. This fair isn't to be
side-show to a horse-racing meet.
It's to be a real education.
We'll have some racing for
a relish, but 1t must take it's
place as a minor issue. We aren't
going to spend SO much money
on racing that we haven't any,
thing left for the real purpose of
a fair"
Great Day for Riddles.
The fair opens next Wednesday,
and another distinctive feature of
1t is to be that this Wednesday
will be the biggest day of the
whole show.
On that day, all the school
Riddles of the county will have

SA LOOMS
TAKE OUT
LICEN s ES

Although there is scarcely a
three months period for the sale
OF liquor in Tacoma, before pro-
hibition takes effect, saloon keep
ers are showing no desire to dis
continue their business before
they have to.
Five applications for renewal of
liquor licenses were granted by
the city council today, for the re-
mainder of 1915. The total IL
oense fees amounted to $500,
whereas, with no prohibition in
prospect, they. would have been
5000. The council is charging
license fees for the exact number
of days remaining until Jan. 1.
The saloons getting new licenses
today were Nicholson & Nelson,
1913 Pacific; Block & Fox, 939
Tacoma; Joe Carbone, 1407 Pa
cific; Fred Roeder, 811 A; B.

BIG STORE !.
GIVES SIG Z.
SHOW CASE
BY E. A. Peters

The Peoples Store company to-
day gave the largest donation of
all to the Larry Sullivan fund.
1t donated a three-sided show
case for Larry's new business OF
a 20-foot total length, valued
at $119, and a second glass case
to hold chewing gum. :,
Humane Officer Van Voris, a
member of Mayor Fawcett's
committee appointed to take care
of the crippled boy, was elated
over the donation.
1t is now hoped by the COM
mittee that all of the $1O1 cash
subscriptions for Larry can be
used to purchase stock for the
lads new store. Donations OF
sheet iron, lumber and labor, in
erecting a small fruit and confec-
tionary stand are expected to be
received as soon as the site is
selected.
The committee wants to pay
cash for all stock, and give the
boy clean business start, unLur-
dened of debt.
Larry's new shoes, specially
made by a Tacoma shoemaker,
will be completed tonight. The
cripple will probably be able to
leave the hospital, on crutches,
within a few days.

TO GAME

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. %. -
Clay Tallman, u. 8. land commits
sioner, today charged that the
water-power conference here had
been called, not for a fair dis
cussion of the Ferris bill. but to
oppose 1t after a sham of dis
cussion.
He bluntly told the conference
that II would have no influence
with Secretary Lane or other adj
ministration leaders.
THE crux OF this matter is,"
he said, "the federal government
hrs determined that never again
will 1t grant water-power site In
perpetuity. no matter what local
interests may seem to urge such
4 policy"
Gov. Lister OF washington still

Swallowed up i'm a canyon
when the street above the
new 9TH avenue subway sud-
denly opened, six persons
aboard a crowded surface car
today lost their lives. Up
wards of 200 passengers and
pedestrians were injured.
The collapse of the street fol-
lowed a dynamite blast in the
subway.
Seventy-eight persons were
jammed into the surface car, on
their way to work. Suddenly the
street beneath disappeared for al
most two blocks between 23rd
and 25th streets.
Car Telescopes Like Paper
Great timbers supporting the
street flooring of the subway
snapped under the force of the
blast while the car, the street and
its traffic sank slowly out of
sight.

under the weight of timbers and
wfeckage.
Seventh avenue at s o'clock is

dreds of shop girls. en- route for
work, were hurled into the pit
and clambered out screaming
with terror.
Scene of Hubbub.
For few minutes the canyon
was filled with hysterical men and
women, with splinters flying in
dust clouds.
Police and firemen were rash
ed to the scene, where they forced
the crowd back, gaping in horror
over the edge of the abyss.
The subway that fell in has
not yet been placed In operation.

ONLY WEEK
Until FAIR

a days vacation, and all the
school-maams will attend an in
stitute at the fair, where they
will view the biggest educational
exhibit any fair ever has shown
the northwest.
All the varied accomplishments
of Pierce county students-draw-
ings, writing, manual training,
domestic scienca-are to he
shown. Every school in the
county has a booth.
OF educational interest also
will be the address by President
Suzzallo, the new head of the
University of Washington. 1t will
be his first message to the farm
ers of the state.
Tickets 80 Cents.
For these reasons, all the
school Riddles in the county will
be admitted to the fair free. So
will each driver of an auto-but
the rest of the party must pay at
the new rate of so cents each.
So far as | am concerned, :"
said President Paulhamus, +"
think the state ought to finance
these fairs, then open the gates
and let all the folks in. 1t would
be as much in the interest of edu-
cation and progress as a whole lot
more of money the state appropri-
ates.'
But facing the plain business
proposition, Paulhamus has re-
solved on four fit admission,
and a high-class fair.
Auto Agents Interested.
An illuminating feature of the
fair is that when an auto exhibit
ing building was put up, all 26
stalls were snapped up quickly, at
prices which, this year alone, will
pay for the building. The auto
statesmen figure the folks out in
the valley as pretty good pros
poets.
The fair will hold over from
Tuesday, which really is getting
ready day, to the weekend. Calm,
business indications are that from
10000 to 100000 will see the
fair-the biggest crowd of its kind
the Pacific northwest ever has
seen.

Big
Cut Made
On Roads

The proposed sweeping reduc-
lions" OF the 1915 county budget
formulated yesterday by Commits
sioners Williams and Slayden
failed to meet with the approval
of many of the county officers to-
day.
Details of the reduction were
not made, but 1t was understood
that nearly all the offices would
suffer still heavier cuts and the
total reduction would amount to
$4,000.
Nearly every office IL in favor
of cutting, but not from their
budgets, which they claim are cut
to bedrock as it is. They believe
the logical place to start the knife
is in the road and bridge fund.
The assessors department Of
ficials declare they will need
every cent Of their estimate.
Prosecutor Remain said that
his estimate was conservative, but
II a cut was to be made he c0uld
