Conference May Lead to Peace.
Washington, d. C, June 3.-The
Wilson, -Bernstorff conference is still
the subject of comment.
In some well informed quarters, the
conference was discussed as likely to
lead to important results with respect
to the general European situation,
While the President, it is believed, in
adherence to his expressed policy,
would not talk Of the relations OF this
country with Great britain to the Ger
man ambassador, the possibility that
return TO international law by all the
belligerents might eventually he ac-
complishnd by the efforts Of the
United States and thus pave the way
for the eventual restoration of peace
in Europe, was a suggestion widely
current.
In German quarters optimism was
apparent The view was expressed
that the German reply did not pur-
port to besa full answer to the Ameri-
can demands and that if the United
States in its next note stated that
official investigation showed that the
Lusitania carried no guns, it would
not be surprising ii this would be ac-
cepted by the German government as
a fact, furnishing the basis for the
giving of reparation.

BUDGET

With every department head

budget of expense estimate for
1916, but declaring that his own
estimate cannot be pruned an
other dollar. a battle royal is i'm
pending at the city hall, when the
council gets ready for its annual
budget pruning.
Because of prohibition in 1916,
the city will be deprived of $780,
600 in liquor licenses. This sum
must be cut from running ex.
pense, in order to keep the city
below the legal Is mill levy limit.
With all budgets in except that
of Commissioner Mills, 1t was an
nounced today that the commits
sioners had not but $1,000 of the
required 100000. The library
board has asked for $1,000 more
than it had this year, and most
other departments, except the
mayors, are approximately the
same as this years.
When the 1915 budget was pre-
pared last year, the council elm
mated every possible item of I'M
necessary expense. This year the
council will attempt to make its
saving by cutting down the po-
lice and fire departments, and the
laboring gangs in the public
works department. Mills and
Woods, heads of these depart
ments, are bitterly opposed to
any such cut.

Three horses were burned

But there was no chance at all

It burst into flames from all four

Theodore's In Town; Standpats

Oh, No; We Mean a Different One

Theodore Elijah Burton, form
er U. s. senator from Ohio, is n
visitor in Tacoma. He is seeking
guardedly the G. o. p. presiden-
tial nomination, and a good many
grand old party-ites think he's
just the man.
Burton is tall, elderly, a con-
firmed bachelor, and a good deal
of a crouch.
That is, he has no sense of
humor.
He is exact, precise, and he
likes to study tariffs and pork
barrel appropriations, and write
such books as Financial Crises
and Periods of Commercial and
Industrial Depression.
"Jacta est Alea."
When Tom johnson was first
making municipal ownership a
success in Cleveland, the republi-
cans brought Burton out to beat
him. To bring out about the
proper political climax, there was
great TODD of whether Burton
would accept the. nomination.
At least he consented in a
formal speech, which he opened
with the Latin quotation "Jacta
est Alea"-the die is cast.
