PRAYER
ON TOP
OF POLE

1t took the combined efforts of
the Tacoma police and fire de-
partments to draw Emil Ziehl-
mann away from his morning
prayers at the top of 30-foot
light pole at the Milwaukee depot
early today and to drag him down
to terra firma.
A city lamp cleaner left a lad
der leaning against the pole early
this morning. Ziehlmann, who is
a carpenter, 32, living at the Gar

cellent opportunity for sending
up his morning prisons.
He climbed up the rungs to
the top of the pole, established
himself securely in a supplicating
posture on the cross beams, and
with his hands uplifted, began
reciting verse of three stanzas.
Coax i'm Vain.
For whole hour he repeated
the stanzas. The police tried to
expostulate, to coax and threaten
but in vain. He wouldn't bulge.
In desperation finally they sent
In a hurry call for the fire de-

scene with a long scaling ladder.

He was taken to the county Jail
where his sanity will probably be
put to test. Police think he is
a religious fanatic.

That is the battle cry that has

Determined to protect legiti-
mate merchants of Tacoma from
unfair competition by preventing

Ing here, the city council spent
another half day today working
on Its 1916 license law.
Instead of trying to Increase
city revenues next year by charg-
ing an occupation tax on profess
sional and business men, the
councils attitude today was one
of sympathy toward the perma-
nent merchants and intention. to
cater to them by removing all un-
fair licenses.
Has Long List.
Clerk Nickeus had prepared a
long list of license taxes against
dealers in other cities, but most
OF these were turned down by the
council. They included banks,
baseball parks, brewers, private
detectives. house movers, guaran-
tee title agents, insurance agents,
laundries, lunch vehicles, hotel
runners, safe deposit vaults,
scales, wharfingers, wood saws.
The council instructed City At
torney Stiles to draw up a clause
for an ordinance which would
prohibit temporary auctioneers
from competing with legitimate
dealers, except under a practical
ly prohibitive fee.
Tax Gas Co.
Arrangements were made TO
fix a license upon the Tacoma
Gas Co., which sells thousands
of dollars worth of gas each
month without paying anything
to the city for the privilege. .
1t was planned to tax street
gasoline stations, garbage wag-
ons and. junk wagons.
A clause will be inserted in the
new ordinance demanding a
$1,000 annual fee for brewers,
"in case the supreme court de-
cides wet as Commissioner
Mills put it. Breweries have nev-
er paid license.
Hits Spectators.
Instead of flat fee of 500
for messenger service companies,
which is complained about by the
agencies, the council voted to
charge an annual fee of IS per
messenger. ea
Temporary sales merchants and
delivery companies, who take adj
vantage of the holiday rush to
reap a small harvest at the ex-
pense of the permanent dealers,
will be charged such a high rate
in the future that they will not
care to come here, according to
the tentative plans.

SALOONS
CLOSED
ALL DAY

Despite the objection of Mayor
Fawcett, who declared that the
city was not giving the saloons
a square deal, Commissioner Mills
forced all liquor establishments
In Tacoma to remain closed to-
day because Of the school cleo
ton. The doors will not be
opened until 8 o'clock tonight.
In Seattle, where combined
school and port district election
is being held, Mayor Gill allowed
saloons to remain open until 1
o'clock this afternoon, the time
Of the opening OF polls.
He did 1t over the strenuous
protest OF Prosecutor Lundin of
King county.
II want otkno W why our sa-
looms in Tacoma are forced to
keep closed all day, when they re
not in Seattle" demanded Faw-
cett at today's council session.
We'll, I'm just enforcing the
law, on advice of the city attor-
ney," replied Mills. We've al
ways closed saloons before on
school election days"

why all these lawyers should
have different opinions on these
things" continued the mayor. II
don't think we are giving the
saloon men a square deal. They
pay license to operate, and here
we are closing them up for an
election when only. few hum
dred votes are cast. ! think at
least they ought to stay open
until the time that voting begins"
Stiles was called before the
council. and he again declared
that the city had no right to al
low saloons to sell liquor on q
school election day or any other
election day until after the
polls close.

Besides the ordinance prohibit

quarters in buildings which are
used as hotels, or where human
lives are endangered by the fire
danger, there is another city or
dinance, also not enforced by
Mills, demanding that no garage
be placed in a frame building.

He is utterly ignoring a city or

his only excuse is that he doesn't
