Reductions in light rates to all
consum ers in Tacoma will be pro-
vided in a general rate ordinance
to be introduced by the lisht de-
partment at Wednesdays council
session.
The new rates, however, will
not be so low as previously
planned, it was intimated today,
because of the councils recent
Juggling of the 1916 budget.
By it's juggling, the council cut
down next years light plant prot

expected lowering of profits, the
plant cannot afford, according to
a high light department official,
to make as large cuts in rates as
1t had previously contemplated.
Commissioner Drake refused to
discuss the new rates today.
He declared that the light de-
partment was just completing its
work on estimating the extent OF
cuts to be made, and that he
would give out no figures until
next Tuesday.
1t was intimated, however, that
the residence rate, now n cents

. cents. Originally, according ito
early announcements, 1t had been
planned to cut off a full cent
from the residence rate.

JUDGE ALBERTSON
BY ABE HURWITZ.

SEATTLE, Oct. O.-Judge
Robert Ii. AlbertsOn of the
King county superior court
will be n candidate for the
United States senate I'm 1916
ii there is any indication of
popular demand for him.
Asked for AN interview to-
day, he branded as untrue
any statement to the effect
that he had decided not to
run.
~ cannot say ] will run or
will not rum" he summed up
his position. ~ shall await
such time AS ] can Judge
whether there is n substan-
tial request from the people
for me to become a candi-
date"
This announcement falls lik,
a bomb into the camp of grouI
of local politicians who were busy
with press agent stories circulat
ed outside Seattle to the effec
that Seattle is solid for Congress
man Will K. Humphrey, the
standpat candidate for republican
nomination who is op
posing Senator Miles Poindexter
AS matter of fact, Humphrey
will be lucky to break even with
POindexter in Seattle. With Judge
Albertson in the race, Humphre,
will rot be able to do better than
third in King county.
With record of IL years or
the bench, and never a word oil
criticism against his fairness
Judge Albertson is easily one oil
the most popular men in Kint
county. He is also well known
throughout the state, having beer
speaker of the house during one
session and generally active in
state affairs.
On the other hand, Humphrey
never has been a vote-getter II
or King county. In 1915
there were four candidates, ant
Humphrey scraped through by
900 votes. In 1912, with Oar
Landon against him in the repub
lican primaries, he would have
been easily defeated, but the or
ganization of the progressive
party saved him. In the three
corn erred contest which followed
Humphrey nosed Landon out b.
400 votes in 10000 cast. Il
1914, Humphrey was again elect
ed by minority vote.
1t is due to Humphreys ex
treme unpopularity here tina
even some standpatters are urg
ing Judge Albertson to run
Judge Albertson has also beef
asked by many leading progress
sives, though Senator Poindex
ter, Of course, has the progressiv,
support generally.

After the first inning. when 1t
looked as If the Red Sox would
rush Mayer from his feet, the
game was a pitching battle for
several innings. Both Foster
and Mayer were in invinclble
form. The heaviest hitters struck
out or tapped easily to the infield.
President Smiles Broadly.
Mrs. Gait was immensely pleas
ed with the reception. The game
was stopped while the ball that
the president threw out was re-
turned to him as a memento. He
DOTTED his hat frequently, and
smiled broadly at the enthusiasm
of the reception.
Hitters In Form.
Unlike yesterdays game, to-
days scores were due to the men
expected to do the hitting. Bos-
tons run In the first resulted
from a walk by Hooper. Speakers

err went to third, and Burns err
ror in dropping the ball at The
plate, when Hooper and Speaker
attempted double steal.
In the fifth, two resounding
doubles by Cravath and Luderus
scored the big home-run king
with the Phillies' first run, lying
the score.
Boston had chance to score
in the fifth when Foster, two
down, doubled and Hooper walk
ed. But Scott flied out.
Foster Wins Own Game.
Boston won in the ninth when
Gardner singled, took second on
Janverin's out, and scored on Fos-
