PICKETT AND YEOMANS
ON IMPORTANT COMMITTEES
VIII Investigate Copper Fumes Con-
troversy Between Two States.

Senator D. C. Pickett has been APP
pointed by President Persons as a
member of the senate committee to
investigate the long-standing cOntro-
versy between the states of Georgia
and Tennessee arising from the al
legged damage to growing vegetation
by the copper fumes. Representa-
tive M. j. Yeomans was also appoint
ed on the house committee to inves-
gate the same controversy
This question has been standing
between the two states for number
of years, and is considered one of
the most important matters to be
handled by the general assembly, and
the appointments of Senator Pickett
and Representative Yeomans on the
two committees is quite a compli-
ment to them, and is a recognition of
their valued services in the two
branches of the legislature.

IS KILLED BY BOYS
Granddaddy of Rattlers Five Feet
Long, and Had just Swallowed
a Grown Rabbit.

Mr.. Thomas j. Oxford, one of the
prominent farmers of the Eleventh
district, was in The News office Sat
urday, and reported that negro boys
on his farm had killed huge rattle
snake at the spring in Chenubbee
creek
The reptile measured 81 inches in
length, and was the proud possessor
of nine rattles and the proverbial
button.
That his snakeship had an appetite
corresponding to his proportions was
proven by the fact that full grown
rabbit he had recently swallowed
whole was taken from his interior.
Mr.. Oxford said that several other
large rattlesnakes had recently been
killed in that vicinity.

ATKINS
AUTHOR
Drake Is Under
Fire Because
of $1,000 Auto
Repair Bill.

Called into a secret conference
of councilmen this morning to in
vestigate alleged eXtrayagances
of auto maintenance in Commits
sioner brakes department, Mayor
Fawcett turned the tables on his
fellow council members by accus-
ing them point blank of having
recently taken up secret plans TO
impeach him and put Atkins in
the mayors chair.
Mills admitted the whole
thing had been framed up" de-
clared the mayor afterwards.
But he denied that the council
had planned to put Atkins in my
place. He said that DR.. r.. A.
Cove was the man selected by the
council as the new mayor.
atkins turned red. and
denied he had had anything
to do with the scheme"
TOday's secret session was
suggested by Mills, and was
held in Mills private office.
The bill for auto repairs in
Commissioner brakes department
last month was 81, 100, and it is
declared that the repairs for light
and water autos average $50
day.
Most of this repair work is done
at privately owned garages, ac-
.cordfng to Mills, instead of in the
auto machine shop maintained by
the city in connection with the
fire department.
II was decided i'm the secret
session to order probe of
the automobile repair figures,
and to demand that Drake
send his crippled machines to
the city shop hereafter.

FISH STORY
Of SEASON

w. G. Heinly, attorney, is al
legged to have played a joke on
himself April and to have caught
fish that measured just one inch
under the six required by law.
j. f. Reed, Game Warden
Lights assistant, made this in
teresting discovery after Heinly
had caught basketful near
Elgin..
Justice Graham, who will try
Heinly, was at loss as to wheth-
er he could try the attorney, as
he was member of the legisla-
ture that made the fish law.
There is something somewhere
in the English law to the effect
that a parliamenteer cannot be
arrested" said the Judge today,

apply in this case or not.
Furthermore, I fail to see the
use in filming an attorney. They

1900 in
ON PLAN
Downtown Site
Is Tentatively
Selected for the
Enterprise.
BY Edgar G. Wheeler

Watch the Tacoma school
children this spring and sum-
mer!
They are beating their
dads at doing things, produce
ing things and getting re-
suits.
The very latest is a Juvenile
Public Market, near the heart of
the city, run exclusively by Ia
coma boys and girls.
There the best products of the
little backyard home gardens
cultivated by the city's youngest
farmers, will be offered for sale
at prevailing prices to the public.
Plans for the market. of
bungalow tyre, are being
drawn today by school draw
ing classes.
Youthful architects are do
ing "a landscape gardening.
Boys In the manual train
ing classes are going to build
the market with their own
hands.
Picked statesmen, the best and
most energetic the schools have
to offer, will be on the job be-
hind the counter every Saturday
morning, to aid Tacoma house
wives in making their choices for
the Sunday dinner.
Can YOU beat that for enter
prise?
The new Juvenile Market will
be opened about June /, accord
ing to the announcement today
of +. r. Crook, assistant suerin-
tendent of schools, who has been
directing the home garden work.
A site near the downtown shop
ping center has practically been
decided on.
The market is but one of the
plans which more than 5000
school children are carrying out
in connection with the home gar
den work, in which they have
registered.
When you get 5000 persons,
no matter how small they are.
scientifically turning their back
yards and all available vacant lots
into garden patches, it means a
big thing for Tacoma.
1t means a big thing, too, for
Tacoma's future citizens.
They have taken possession of
20 unsightly vacant lots.
It. spells industry, enterprise
and thrift.
This week the boys and girls
are digging and planting. They re
going at it scientifically, too, un-
der the direction of instructors
who know the business OF sowing
and ploughing.
They are charging their
working time up against
their gardens Mt the rate Of
=. 121s cents an hour.
SO whether they take their pro-
duce to the Juvenile Public Mar
ket, or sell it to their neighbors.
or turn it over for their family
consumption, they will know just
where they stand, and whether
they are making their business
pay. 4.
EVERY DETAIL OF THEIR
WORK is BEING KEPT ON
SCORE CARDS. THEY ARE
OUT FOR EFFICIENCY AND
RESULTS.
BY June Tacoma will have the
most flourishing Juvenile Public
Market anywhere in the country.
IL not the only one.
The. work is receiving the en-
couragement and aid of the home
garden committee of the Com
mercial clubs civic committee. of
which James A. Hays is chair
man.
Other things which school
children are doing for Taco
ma I'm the Year of Promise

DOL Gardeners Will Start Public Market

u There is little more that can be said or need
be said as to the city candidates before the peo-
pie make their choice tomorrow.
q Shortly after the nominating petitions all
were in, The Times saw that F. H. Petit stood
head and shoulders above the crowd, and we
recommend that vote be saved for him.
U His chief competitor at that time seemed to
be Rev. Stoever. The latter's refusal to com
NIT himself on any subject bearing on municipal
government marked him as unworthy of conSid-
Grafton.
u He is running without platform and without
a record Of fitness. lie has advanced no reason
why he should be elected, and. if we are any OBJ
server of popular sentiment, has lost ground
steadily. 1t would not surprise lis to see him fail
Of even a nomination.
u Owen Woods has been an unsatisfactory com
missioner of public works. lie has played poll
ties with appointments and with expenditures Of
the peoples money. He has voted wrong on vl-
tually every important ordinance.
q Of the candidates opposing him for the public
works position, II. j. McGregor has appeared to
us to be the best fitted and the one deserving sup
port
g Petit and McGregor in the council would
mean greater municipal efficiency. They are
business men used to handling business on a
large scale, and handling it rapidly, correctly
and in worlmanlkc manner.
VI Johnnie Meads has been a qtlarIcsome pet
ty-mlnded narrow thieves controller.
There are four good men running against him.

real work to be DONE
u The only proposition on the ballot is the char
ter amendment strengthening the civil service
