Having a Close Fight for
Fifth Place.

Yale took big strides forward in the
college baseball world last week, and
among the big teams seems the only
one capable Of comparing favorably
with the West Point nine, which has
won ten straight victories so far this
season, and is leading all the teams in
batting, with an average Of 1927. The
Blue is not showing up especially
strong with the bat, but gained six
points over its standing Of week ago
Dartmouth and Syracuse. which were
unbeaten until last week, both fell into
the lost column, Dartmouth with de-
feats at the hands Of Syracuse and
Cornell aud Syracuse at the hands OF
Vermont. Both teams, too, faced much
better pitching than they have seen all
season, with the result that their team
batting figures fell away off, Dart
mouth dropping from 1886 to .254 and
Syracuse from PIT to .239.
Columbia, with its erratic team. main
tanned its batting average at .275, and
the Navy jumped from .237 to .274.

HOUSEHOLDER
WILL BENEFIT

Discovering through aseries of
technical tests that the large
factories and other big consumers
Of water are getting a rate below
cost, and that the average house
holder is paying what he termed
AN exorbitant rate" Water S..pt,
Savidge today began work On a
new schedule of rates.
1t may take months to equalize
the rate schedule SO that the same
revenue will be obtained and all
customers be treated fairly, says
Savidge.
Savidge made the announce
ment after appearing In the conn
Gil chamber and recommending
that Tacoma's park board be
charged cents a 100 cubic feet
for water used in sprinkling the
parks. The board had asked a q
cent rate, and Secretary Cover
had recently compiled some fig
ures of his own purporting to
show that 1t cost Tacoma 2S6
cents hundred feet to produce
the water. 'ftt
The water superintendent to-
day declared that his tests showed
an absolute cost of 1888 cents
hundred feet. The council adopt
ed the Accent rate for parks.
Actually Costs 3.S3 Cents.
Some of the large users of
water in Tacoma are getting their
supply at way below costs, ac-
cording to my discovery" said
Savidge later.
II find that those using ll0,-
600 cubic feet a month are getting
a 3.S cent rate, while those using
more get a proportionately lower
rate. For instance, those whose
water bill is $42 a month, get
water at just what it costs the
city to deliver it. Onyone getting
more than SAP worth Is getting
ii below coat. And the reduction
in price becomes larger in rltio
to the amount used.

POISON
KILLED
LARRY

Larry Sullivan met his death
by arsenic poisoning, according
to the report of Coroner j. Tate
Mason of King county.
Chemists employed by the coro-
ner reported Saturday night that
they had found a quantity of the
poison in Larry's stomach after
they had worked four days on a
careful chemical examination.
The arsenic was in sufficient
quantity to cause death. Little
doubt is expressed in Tacoma that
the boy was murdered, robbed,
and then his body thrown in the
waters of Seattle bay. The poison
could have been inserted easily
into glass while he was drink
ing, the officials think.
Ever since the coroner's inves-
tigation showed lack of water in
the crippled boys lungs, friends
have believed that 1t was case
of murder. 1t was proven cOnelu-
sively that the boy did not drown,
yet there were no marks on the
body indicating blow sufficient
to cause death.
Seattle police are reported TO
be still busy on the case, but. they
have discovered no clue on which
to hinge an investigation. Sulli-
van was traced to Seattle, but no
one has been found who could tell
where the boy spent his time aft
err arriving there, according to
Detective Capt. Tenant. G5
That robbery was the motive
of murder is not doubted. 1'he
boy had a considerable sum of
money on him when he left Ia
coma.
