different things which come up.

is called the Railway Commission
Bulletin" Articles on the Rate En-
perts Force" Blue Sky Department"
and editorial on why the Bulletin is
issued; Troubles of Engineering Ex-
perts," and a complete record of the
doings of the commission for the
month, cover the first edition with
numerous items of minor nature.
Water Supply Low.
The dry weather of the last few
weeks again brings forward the ques-
ton of the water supply at the state
penitentiary. The supply is getting
short, but the Board of Control has
not yet determined whether it is due
to the lack of water or the ability of
the pump to gather it in.
An investigation will be made at
once and an attempt made to remedy
the defect.
Morehead in Richardson.
Governor Morehead is in Richard
son county looking after the harvest
OH his farms. On account of the
cinch bugs and other little inconven-
fences down there last year, the gov
ernor did not go into the wheat rails
ing game very heavily this year, but
has confined the most of his efforts
toward a corn crop, with prospects of
good returns with the present out
look,

Shriners' Show
Is Excellent

Amateur and professional acts
We'd for honors on the Shrine
vaudeville show which opened at
the Tacoma theater last night.
And while every professional act
was clever and above the average
1t must be said that the Tacoma
performers on the bill were SO
good that It was difficult to dis
tinguish the experienced perform
ers from the locals.
Miss Helene Webb and Arnold
Leverenze threatened to stop the
show, in their breezy musical act.
Their work was excellent.
Miss Hazel Cline danced the
part of NADIA" a Hawaiian
beach dancer, in the Royal Ha-
waiian Sextet, composed of local
talent, and was an artistic success.
Miss Mary Humphrey King sang
beautifully. Sassman, Tacoman,
sang several songs splendidly. F..
J. Morgan, Miss Thelma Bunker
and George Johnston had lively
act staged in a Chinese laundry.
The professional vaudeville acts
were all of "big time" quality

meeting. which is on today.
The directors will clean up last
seasons affairs, arrange a sched-

on player and salary limits, and
spend their time scurrying about
for new material.
Bob Brown of Vancouver will
ask for an increase in the player

that the 1917 scedule will pro-
vide longer "at-home" periods for

JOHNNY KILBANE is
UNPOPULAR In N. 7.

Kilbane has taken issue with
some of the best featherweights
and lightweights in the world in
New York rings and he has been
forced to step the limit every
time. He met Johnny Dundee,
Benny Leonard and others who
have written their names high in
fistdom.
The New York fans do Kilbane
an injustice. He always has
given his best to New York and
it never has been appreciated.
Like many another champion he
does his battling under the handi-
cap of being expected to knock
out all his opponents, and when
he nicked off George CLANCY in
his most recent important mill
New York fans Immediately be-
gan to wonder why he hadn't
turned such tricks for them.

NEW YORK. Dec. 15.-Much
comment over the alleged unpop-
ularity of Johnny Kilbane, the
featherweight champion, in New
York city has been aroused by
publication of the report that cf-
forts are being made to match
the feather king with Champion
Welsh.
There is no secret over Kill
bane's unpopularity. Most any
New York fight fan will tell you
why. He'll tell you that Kilbane
is staller, a dancer, clever box
er hut not a fighter in the truest
sense of the word. The strange
part of it is that in any other
section of the country where Kill
bane has displayed his wares they
will declare that there never was
a fighter. as good as Kilbane.

Melbourne Inman, the famous bill

himself stranded at Perth, western
Australia, with two days to wait for
a boat.
Strolling up to the principal hotel
in the place and making first, as was
his wont. for the billiard room, he
found it deserted save for the mark
er, likely looking youth of seventeen
or Whereabouts, who promptly invited
him to have a game.
"No, thanks |" replied Inman.

ing to all steamers flying the flags Of

were told to show no more lights than
was necessary and to avoid, so far as
possible, the regular lanes of steam
ship travel.
A wireless warning to look out for
German submarines off the American
coast was flashed to sea to the Amer
lean line steamer Kroonland. which
arrived here from Liverpool, accord
ing to the vessels commander, Cap.

BANKERS WARNED
BY RESERVE BOARD
ADVISED re BE CAUTIOUS IN
TYING UP THEIR FUNDS FOR
FOREIGN LOANS.
Funds Which Should be Available to
American Farmers and Merchants
In Danger Of Being Absorbed
for Other Purposes.

Washington. = American bankers
were warned by the federal reserve
board on Monday to avoid locking up
their funds by purchasing treasury
bills of foreign governments involy-
ing long term obligations.
While specifically disclaiming amy
intention of rejecting upon the fnan-
cial stability OF any nation" the board
advises all investors to proceed with
caution and formally announced to
member banks of the federal reserve
system that with the liquid funds
which should be available to American
merchants, manufacturers and farm
ers in danger of being absorbed for
other purposes, It docs not regard 1t
in the interest of the country at this
time that they invest in foreign treas
ury bills of this character"
The statement is regarded in Off
cial circles as one of the most import
ant declarations by the board since
It's creation Officials would not dis
cuss the question for publication, but
some OF them informally interpreted
the warning as the reserve boards an
swer to the recent proposal of J. P.
Morgan & Co., British fiscal agents
in this country, to have American
bankers accept British treasury bills
OF an indefinite total issue, secured by
gold reserves held in Ottawa. Such
loans would be for ninety days with
the privilege of renewal for Ave other
ninety-day periods.
H. p. Dawson of the Morgan firm
was in Washington recently and con
ferred with President Wilson and
some of the members OF the reserve
board. 1t was said later that he
sought to have banks of the reserve
system authorized to buy British
treasury bills, as If they were bills
of exchange to cover commercial
| transactions.
