THREE FIRES
DO DAMAGE in
CITY HOUSES

Three fires, all of unusual orig
in, damaged dwellings in Tacoma
last night.
The first originated in the mat
tress of a bed at the home Of
Thomas Gourley, 2314 Jefferson,
while the family was absent. Fire
men arrived before serious dam
age was done. A cigaret stub,
left on the bed, is believed to
have developed into blaze.
At IL o'clock the home Of Mrs
ID. Armstrong, 230S Ash street,
filled with smoke, from no ap-
parent cause. Mrs. Armstrong
was alone, with her two babies
and aged mother. Defective wir-
ing probably caused the fire. Five
hundred dollars damage was
done.
At 1926 a. m. two fires were re.
ported In a rooming house al
904M Tacoma avenue. One blaze
was in the rooms Of A. NJ. Calk.
ms, and the other was in a pile
of furniture in a hall. Although
the occupants of the rooms were
fully dressed, no one could tel
the origin of the two fires. About
5000 damage was done.

COUNTY AT MERCY
OF Cement TRUST

Following still another indica-
ton of a Portland cement combi-
nation in the northwest, county
commissioners today began plan
ming course OF action by which
they can purchase this supply at
a reasonable price.
The immediate cause for their
action was the receipt of word
from Inter-county Engineer Rob-
erts that the best bid he had been
able to get for a large quantity
of cement for use in the Stuck
river project was Sill sack.
Incidentally, each of the bids
which he did receive Melted Sill
a sack.

Heating Franchise
Gives City Right
To Demand Steam

A contract between the city OF
Tacoma and the Tacoma Central
Heating Co., by which the latter
will be permitted to erect its
central heating plant at 18th and
A streets. on consideration that 1t
will agree to supply steam. at any
time. to the city for an auxiliary
electric plant, was drawn today
by City Attorney Stiles. The con-
tract will be presented at tomor-
rows council session.
Although the city has no inten-
, tlon of erecting an auxiliary plant
at the present time, II hopes to
tie up the heating company 20
that II can demand steam for
turning over it's emergency dyna-
mos in the future.
II was reported today that Off
cials Of the heating plant were
Directing strenuously to signing
the contract.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-04-27

The fact that this was so was
concealed somewhat by the fact
that one bid was for cement at
the factory, another at the works.
another with sack, and another
without sack.
But net, the price Invariably
was $1.71 at the factory, which is
about II cents too high to suit
the commissioners.
Commissioner Reed, in his plan
Of forcing down the price, wrote
to Chairman Carrigan of the King
county commissioner, asking him.
the port district of Seattle, and
the city of Seattle to cooperate
with the inter-county board.

A large part of the afternoon
was spent in the reading of let
tiers from him to Plat, by which
the Barnes attorneys attempted to
show that Roosevelt himself never
was independent of the organiza-
ton while he was governor.
This the colonel admitted. He
said, for one thing. he had no de-
sire to thwart the wishes of the

thing, 1t was always necessary for
him to have control of the senate

The colonel was allowed to do

questions about them.

WHISPERING BILL sPElR

William R. Speir, better known AZ
whispering BILL" died suddenly 1t
Lakeland today about / o'clock p. m.
Mr.. Speir was 66 years Of age, and
had spent most of his life in this
section. He came to Orange county
from Tallahassee when he was eight
cen years of age, and learned the
building business. He was a good
mechanic and followed this business
until he became interested in the
sale Of nursery stock. He conducted
a kind of brokerage business in this
line, canvassing and selling all over
south Florida and having the stock
shipped to him in car loads at Or
lando and distributing from here.
Mr.. Speir's wife died several years
ago, and he is survived by his
daughter, Mrs. William Hennessy,
who received the news of his death
today. Yesterday Mr.. Speir wrote
his daughter a letter saying that he
was not feeling we'll, ana If he did
not get better that he would send
his horse and buggy home and come
by train. This morning at 10 o'clock
she had a message saying that he
was very ill and later another mes
sage announced his death. She went
to Lakeland this afternoon and will
return on the 1890 train tonight
with the remains. Funeral arran ge-
ments will be in charge of Under
taker Hand.
Mr.. Speir left Orlando about two
weeks ago on horse and buggy tour
of the southern section of the State,
He was in fine humor, as was his
wont and joked about his recent i'll
ness. For quite a while he was very
ill. but he had recovered, and
seemed to be as we'll as ever.

TOO MISSING;
THOUSANDS
HOMELESS
IN ST. LOUIS COUNTY WHERE
THIRD FLOOD HAS JUST
SWEPT COUNTRY; 1850 FAM
LIES ARE WITHOUT SHELTER
(By Associated Press

St. Louis. Aug. 23.-St. Louis
county is recovering from the third
flood in as many days. Twelve lives
were lost and nearly a hundred miss
ing, with million dollars damage
Two thousand families are homeless.
1t is feared that the fall of the riv-
er in the Merimac district will show
a heavy death list. Conditions are
equally distressing in Southeastern
Missouri and parts of Western Illi-
ncis where property damage will
probably aggregate five million dol
lars. Thousands of farmers and
villagers are homeless. The food
was due to the tropical storm of Fri
day. The river Des Fores went a
mile out of its banks. Before it fell
the Merimac went to four feet out of
the banks, catching thousands Of
summer cottagers and clubs. Many
spent twenty-four hours in the trees.
Every town on each side of the riv-
er for fifty miles was inundated.
twenty-five hundred families in
Valley Park were forced to fee.
As the flood receded many report
ed missing were found. Early re-
ports that twelve were drowned were
exaggerated.

that every dollar may bear its part
Of the taxes. Do you favor such
conference? Have you any sugges-
tions to make concerning it? Would
you attend and assist us to get the
property owners to attend? Our
idea Is to make 1t annual or bi-an-

further benefit derived from it,
Will you kindly confer with the
other taxpayers in your line and
other classes of property and inform
us what their opinions are concern

they write letters to the tax COM

REVOLUTION IN METHOD OF
CARING FOR WOUNDED

London, Aug. 23-A year of war
has worked a revolution in the army
surgeons method of dealing with
the ordinary wounds of the battle
field, which, on account of the
changed character of the projectiles.
are more severe than in previous
wars. In almost every instance of
wounds from modern artillery, the
broken tissues are found by the sur
geon to have become infected by
scraps of cloth or other material, on
a scale without precedent. At the
start, most of the surgeons relied on
a stringent application of recog-
nized methods Of antiseptis to com
, bat this infection. The tissues
were deluged with powerful germi

HOLLAND TO INCREASE
NUMBER TRAINED SOLDIERS
(By Associated Press

The Hague, Netherlands, Aug 23
BY the adoption of the landstrum
bill on July 80 the total number of
trained soldiers in Holland will be
increased eventually to approx
nlately $4,000 instead of $4,000
who are now under arms.
The bill provides for the calling
up of men who hitherto have been
released from service. These in
clude certain categories of students;
those who are supporting families
and those who have been relieved
from military duty because they
have brothers already serving.
The yearly class of military age
averages about $4,000 of which only
$4,000 are incorporated in the army
OF the $4,000 who escape service
1900 are regarded as physically
unfit and $4,000 are relieved for
causes above mentioned.
The new law calls Systematically
to the colors those men who were
formerly relieved. The youngest
class which is due to present itself
in 1915 will be incorporated i'm
mediately for four months training.
At the same time an equal number
of the oldest men who have been
serving since mobilization will be
sent to their homes. Thus the army
actually with the colors will remain
at the tame strength as now. Men
liable. who were not called up in
1914, will becalled up for similar
neriod after the 1915 class has
completed its course and the next
Oldest class of men will be auto
matically relieved Then will follow
the class of 1913 and other classes
in order until all fit men up 10
thirty years of age have received
military training. The whole 53o,-
600 will be available for immediate
mobilization in the event of the
country being endangered.
Formerly the number OF men re-
lieyed from military service was
Greater than now, averaging for the
lastten years $4,000 yearly so the
total increase in the number OF
trained men is expected to reach
about 100000.

The state superintendent has tried
harder than anyone else to get GER
tain notifications making more con-
servative the laws providing for the
examination and certification Of
teachers, but has failed. 1t is then
his duty to execute the laws as they
are.
Those trying to teach without
certificates. or not qualifying for
their specific positions as required
by the laws of Florida would do we'll
to take warning, as they may find
those school officials, proceeding in
utter disregard or defiance of law,
enjoined by legal process from pay
ing their salaries.
And 1t would disclose good taste
and wisdom on the part of those de-
string to teach In this state, In de-
finance of the laws of Florida, to re-
turn to the states where the school
laws accord with their own notions.
Education, like every other state en-
terprise. cannot prosper in an atmos-
phere of lawlessness. Persons in
