HEAD OFF INVESTIGATION

An investigation of charges
made by Wade H. Cook, former
operator at the city power plant,
against Andrew j. Holmes, SUI
perintendent, was smothered to-
day by Commissioners Mills, At
kins and Drake.
Atkins was leader Of the
whitewash brigade. After the
council had been called to order,
Assistant City Clerk Donovan
read the sensational charges of
Cook against Holmes, and Mayor
Fawcett invited the discharged
operator inside the railing.
Before Cook could give testi-
mony, Drake cut in with a state
ment attempting to show justifi-
cation in discharging Cook.

Just as Cook began to repeat
verbal charges against Holmes,
who sat in the audience chamber
surrounded by eight lie Grande
operators whom he had brought
rs witnesses, Atkins dabbed his
brush in the whitewash bucket.

| to the city. would be willing
myself to drink the milk of any
dairy that supplies milk to the
CITY,"
DR.. Button declared today that
all but two or three of the diaries
tributary to Tacoma have even
removed all tubercular cows
from their property. Most of
them have been killed. In the
two or three exceptions, the tu-
bercular cows are almost ready
to bear calves, and the owners
are only~waiting until that time,
to dispose of the cows. Calves
from tubercular cows are never
tubercular at birth, and can be
reared into healthy animals.
No Boiled Germs Here.
"In Seattle and other cities
they have certified and pasteur-
lied milk" said DR.. Button. "but
they cannot excel us in quality.
Tacoma has as good milk as any
city in the Northwest. In cities
where pasteurized milk is sold,
the consumers are using boiled
milk from diseased cows, in many
cases. or course, the disease
germs are dead, but the thought
is not pleasant that you are con-
suming boiled disease microbes.
They tried to do that in Tacoma
but I stopped them. No diseased
milk, pasteurized or otherwise,
can be sold here as long as this
department knows of it,"

We don't suppose that the hard
est-hearted child-hater would
argue that little Billie -,
who lives out at the Children's In
dustrial home at Oakland station
was the cause of his papa's and
mammals getting divorce.
Ordinarily, Billie would be rea-
son enough for the two of them
to try to get along together, for
he's a winning little fellow
sturdy, healthy, blue-eyed, and
with trusting smile of a four
year-old.
But in this case, papa and
mamma could not see bit of
good in each other, so one day
they went up to the courthouse,
and then Billie went to live with
his mamma all alone. And lit

got sick. he had to go to the
Children's Industrial home.

BECKER
FOR PUNISHMENT

NEW YORK, July 29.-Lieut.
Charles Beckers last chance for
liberty was dashed late yesterday
by a refusal of Justice John Ford
of the supreme court, to order
a new trial. He said the recent
ly offered new" evidence was
not sufficient to warrant him in
undoing the work OF two other
courts.
Becker received news of his
death, which will come shortly
after daybreak tomorrow, calmly.
II am not afraid to die" he told
the deputy warden of the death
house when the news was brought
him.
The decision was handed down
on the Justices 53rd birthday.
Pretty tough way to celebrate
a birthday, isn't it, he remarked
to newspaper men who had called
for copies of his decision.
Preparing to Die.
When Becker's wife was told
he must die, she collapsed.
Becker is being prepared for
death. Today he was given his
last shower bath, stripped of his
civilian clothing and CARRIED in
plain black.
His death-call has been stripped
of all his belongings except a pic
ture of his wife.

Many Charges Made.
Holmes is the man whom wo-
men at LIE Grande complained
against several months ago, de-
claring that he used vile language
In their presence, and asked for
his discharge.
He was employed under Drake
several years ago when Drake
was connected with the old Sno-
qualmie Light & Power Co., and
has held the position of superin-
tendent at lie Grande since the

How distressing! We
note that our old friend

AS usual his trouble is
caused by his unfortunate

You know Louis has
been knocking the jitneys.
He says all sorts of cut

about the people who ride
in them.
And now A. L. Kemp

Stone & Webster shebang
in Seattle, comes out in
the Electric Railway
Journal, that most safe
and sane organ, with an
article actually commend
ing the jitneys. Of course,
he does it rather grudg-

now, instead of home where
they throw things at each other,
Billie has nice, clean home
where people are kind to each

can't talk sassy to his

it's most embarrassing.
But what can he do? He
must do something.

Calm and Iron-Nerved.

The prison barber was sum-
moned to the Becker cell, and
clipped the prisoners hair. Then,
around his head where the metal
electrode is to fit, . strip was
shaved bare. Becker sat cool,
calm and iron-nerved as the
CHASTITY work of preparation went
on.
His friends were confident that
he would go to his death unflinch-
ingly, and some even believed he
would make a public statement
from the chair, and leave a paper
to be published after his death.
Mrs. Becker will meet
Gov. Whitman tonight in q
last plea for the life Of her
husband. The governor re-
peatedly has stated that he
believed the former police
lieutenant to be guilty, but
Mrs. Becker Is determined to
make one last effort to sway
him.
She will be accompanied
by Attorney johnson, who
will join in her plea.
Only once in the day did Beck
er lose his composure. That was
when newspapers were brought
in with accounts that a former
wife had died under suspicious
circumstances. He grew intense
ly angry at the insinuations.

Lake Washington.
There occurs the "Bur.
banking of SOULS" which is
the sOciety's chief avowed
object.
The trouble with Mrs. Gerber
and DR.. De Bit, says the latter,
is that DR.. Gerber is a 'low-brow,"
and doesn't understand that in
the divine bonds of Yoga his wife
has been Joined in soul with
De Bit.
Gerber has chased his wife
all over the world, where she has
been travelling with De Bit, and
at last has found them and had
the law on them. But De Bit Is
neither worried nor embarrassed.

Surely there's no basis for a
warrant against us, even on earth
ly grounds" he says, because
nine of lis lived together in the
same house."
1T was only a few weeks ago
that Mrs. Gerber was consecrated
into Yoga. l gave her the rites
and the name Isona. Only a few
people in Seattle have been &c
honored."
Mrs. Gerber has a divorce suit
pending, and meanwhile has been
posing as Mrs" De Bit to the

Industries established by foreign
ers under the capitulation had been
no blessing to turkey. said this
man, citing in proof thereof the
abuses of which a papermill operat-
ed by Austrlans is said to have been
guilty. The rights granted under
the capitulation had in this case
attfied foreign competition, and had
given rise to a monopoly whose sole
aim. 1t was alleged, was to sell the
poorest product ut the highest price.
With the capitulation no longer
operative, Turkey will have to CON
vince the world, more so the foreign
investor, that the abolition of these
special privileges will in no wise en-
danger their interests. That, how
ever. must be done, and can be done.
No foreigner In Turkey has come to
grief since the capitaulations were
cancelled. The Turkish government
has handled the situation splendidly.
and will continue to do so. 1 be-

Another prominent man thought
that the Turkish government would
do well to attach to the. departments

whose duty 1t would be to instruct
rather than advise. He, too. was
of the opinion, that unfamiiiarity
with the subject. rather than an in
clination to act wrongfully, was re-
sponsible for many of the economic
mistakes made in the past. Nothing
could be done. however. SO long as

had been some justification In the

FISH Hawk
Is Only Capture of Angler, Who
Angles for Several
Hours.

0CONT0, Wis. Sept. 3-Frank
Farley Is being nailed as the cham
pion fisherman of Long Lake. Frank
was member Of an outing party
made up of former Congressamn
Weisse and his brother, Adolph, of
Sheboygan Falls, James Maloney and
several Chicago men. Mr.. Farley
won hfs title by catching all the fish
allowed by the law and then hook
ing hen hawk, which he added to
his string.
The manner in which Farley land
ed the hawk with his fish pole is a
little unusual, as told by members
of the party. 1t seems he had been
wading in a trout stream that flows
into the lake, sinking beneath the
surface. He came up Just as the hawk
was flying over in search OF fish. The
bird. apparently thinking 1t has dis
covered some new species of fish.
swooped down on Farley and snatch
ed his hat. flying away with the
headgear in its beak.
The hat was borne to the hawks
nest on a nearby bluff, and the bird
then returned. bent on getting the
rest Of the fish. BY this time Far
ley was making for the shore, but
the hawk, unabashed by the size Of
the intended victim, after a few pre-
liminary flights over the mans head,
bounced down. bent on taking Far
ley to the nest In the treetops.
The angler was ready for the
hawk. however, having regained hts
fish pole from the water, where lei
was floating. and when the bird came
within range he delivered a well tim
ed blow which broke the hawks
neck.
Farley's prize was taken into Gil
let with the rest Of the fab, where
1t was found to weigh seven pounds
and nine ounces. After It wAS Weien4
