LARRY'S
FUNERAL
IS Held
RAY BEVERlDGE

City chemists in Seattle were
still working this afternoon on an
analysis of the contents of Larry
Sullivan's stomach, without as yet
having given out any information
on the results of their work.
Police and coroner's officers
are anxiously awaiting the result,
believing that the test will de-
termine the cause of Larry's
death. The body was sent to Ia
coma last night.
Funeral of Larry Sullivan was
held at 8 O'Clock this afternoon
from the Buckley-King company
chapel. A large number of Grip
pies, friends of the dead boy, at
tended, as did many prominent
persons. Several large floral
tributes were sent.
Rev. w. A. Moore read the flu
neral service. Interment was in
lakewood cemetery.
Bids for purchase of Larry's
cigar stand are being received by
Humane Officer Van Voris. and
the sale of the stand will be han
died by Van Voris and Mr.. Mark
Davis.
An invoice of the stock showed
$54 worth of cigars, magazines
and tobaccos. Bids will be open
ed Saturday, and the SAFE set
tied at that time. Money derived
from the sale will be used to pay
funeral expenses. Any surplus,
according to the committee, will
go to charity.

POWER
J. DEAL A
HOLDUP

Mayor Fawcett today de-
clared that Manager Beams
present offer to supply aux-
iliary current to the city was
Zone of the rawest holdups
ever perpetrated on the city"
He declared that the Il. Il.
Il =. Co. would, IL the agree
ment went into effect, have
the city SO badly i'm debt to
1t within is years that IL
90 could take over the munici-
pal plant.
Commissioner Atkins, who ia
vors the plan, said he considered
the agreement eminently fair to
the city, and that it would be
cheaper, in the long run, than
building an auxiliary plant.
Electric Supt. Collins is quoted
as saying that the city will need
an auxiliary plant within Is
months, because of the steady in
crease in business.
What City Would Pay.
BY Beans offer, the city would
pay three-fourths of cent a
kilowatt for electricity during the
first two and one-half hours that
current was taken from the trac-
ton company's wires. This
would be the breakdown per-
iod."
However, IL the city needed
auxiliary power for more than
that period, the price would jump
up to $3.50 a kilowatt. And the
city needed 10000 kilowatts dur
Ing breakdown, and the city's
plant were out of business for any
period more than two hours and
a half, the city would have to ray
$3.50 kilowatt, or $4,000, tc-
gether with the "a cent a kiio-
watt for the two and one-half
hours. And this sum would have
to be paid, regardless of whether
the current was used a few min
utes, or the full 80 days.
Calls 1t Outrage.
TITS an outrage" declared
,Fawcett. 81 can't understand
what Atkins and Mills and Woods
mean by lining up with the T. r.
& P. Co. on it,"
Commissioner Drake is opposed
to the deal. Supt. Collins says
that the scheme would be more
fair If five hours were allowed
for repair work on the ga cent
rate.
Commissioner Atkins argument
was that the city, needing an Aux
fliary, could not build a steam
plant for less than $4,000.
The interest, upkeep and dopre-
citation a year would be $4,000,
he argued, and in 10 years the
plant would be obsolete.
Definite action will be taken
Saturday.

that while 1t should not be an

become so in 1920, unless 1t is

BLOODY TOLL

ROME, Nov. II. = Whether
helpless passengers of the Ancona
were slaughtered while the Aus
trian submarine pursued, or
were killed in cold blood when
the ship was overtaken, is a point
still undetermined
Reports on this point, which is
vital in determining the position
of the U. s., conflicted.
A Tunis dispatch quoted ALL
coma passengers as saying tae
vessel was halted as soon as com
manded to do so.
On the other hand, survivor
told of shells having killed some
of the passengers during the pur-
suit, followed by a hail of shrap-
nell over the passengers who toois
to lifeobats after the vessel was
halted.
All messages agreed that Aus
trian shrapnel took a bloody toll.

u. S. Saves Money

Because the navy department
couldn't hire privately owned
steamers to carry coal to the Phil
ippines, the coal was sent in naval
Golfers, and in consequence the
department saved just $57 900
last year.
The naval collier Proteus car
led $1,000 tons at Cavite and
Olongapo.
Proportionate savings were
made on other shipments to the
Pacific coast, the overall expense
by GOLFERS being $4.05 a ten
against 1928 ton when sent by
private merchant vessels.

Socialists Show Gain

Probably the most significant
figures in the recent election re-
turns have been overlooked.
These are the proportionate
gains by the socialist party.
In New York alone, the social
list gains amounted to 25 per cent
more than the total vote cast for
congressional candidates by that
party in 1914. More than 1907
600 socialist votes were cast in
New York state and $4,000 in
New York city. At this rate it
will soon be respectable to be a
socialist. The socialists re-elect-
ed the mayor of Schenectady and

Returns from Ohio and other
states show proportionate social
list gains.

WHY A
TRADE
BOARD?
BY Gibson Gardner

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. II.
The federal trade commission is
still trying to find out why con-
gress created 1t.
Aside from its $4,000 salaries,
which are cordially accepted, the
commission is in a haze.
Its members are back from the
west where, having been dinner
guests of the chambers of COM
merce of all our leading cities.
a fine time was had"
Since then the commissioners
have been holding important con-
ferences behind closed doors to
debate the subject, what next?
The commission has issued no
orders, begun no suits, carried on
no investisations-uot even the
Investigations inherited from the
bureau of corporations (Which
the federal trade commission
absorbed) and which the law spe-
officially ordered carried on by
the federal trade commission.
The commission is headed by
Joseph Il. Davies of Wisconsin,
whose principal qualification con-
sists in the fact that he was in
charge of the western headquar-
tiers of the democratic campaign
in 1912.
And the commission is loaded
with men like e. n. Hurley, who
acquired his knowledge of eco
Monies while connected with the
Illinois Manufacturers associa-
ton, an institution principally
active in lobbying for special in
terests before the Springfield leg
islature.
A consistent continuation of the
trade commission course to date
undoubtedly will inspire some
bright congressman to introduce
a bill for it's adjustment.

The casualties are still in doubt.
The best information is that 3o0
were saved and that not over 200
persisted.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. II.
The action of the United States

Estimates of the dead In

as the only native born American.
The others were naturalized ltal-

and Gripping the liner.
Circling around the listing vos-

many were sucked down in the
whirlpool that engulfed the ship,
while others were drowned as the

astern. Sighting the periscope
of the undersea boat the liner put
on full steam and tried to flee
The majority of dispatches

EUROPE USING CORN.

Iowa corn Is becoming a popular
staple of human diet in Europe, for
the first time since the Indian maize
was cultivated in the western world.
The war and the consequent high cost
of wheat have done it. Europe mas
until now refused to experiment Win
corn bread or cornmeal, mush CT
fritters, and of necessity her common
people could not afford green corn on
the cob. Today they are enjoying the
yellow cornmeal, mush and corn oreao
as fully as are the natives OF the New
England or South Atlantic or prairie
states.
The department of agriculture an.
nounces that for the seven montns
ending with January, 1915, we export
ed 15,773,62 bushels of corn, as COM
pared with only 4,S67615 bushels for
hthe corresponding period ending IN
January, 1914. The value of the corn
exported in the period first named
was s12,s0S,174 as against $3,6S6,697
for the export in the period before
corn came into it's own.

making through boards of supervisors.
For half century local communities
in Iowa have been attempting in one
way or another to make the roads
more passable, but the work has not
been satisfactory, except in a few OF
the more wealthy counties. The new

Is no good reason, in view OF what
other states are doing, for Iowa to take
step backward.
Members of the legislature should
take the larger view of the whole mat
ter, and putting aside any local de-
mand here and there for the old sys-
tenn, should stand firmly in favor of
continuing the work Of the highway
commission. 1t has been doing good
work and the probability is that the
chief opponents Of the commission
are certain bridge contractors and
their friends who have not been able
to make so much money on contracts
since the commission has been insist
ing that the specifications on which
bids are based shall be lived up to
