WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. %.
Reports that the latest German
Lusitania note meets all of Amer
ica's demands are based on pure
supposition, unjustified by facts"
1t was announced from the White
House today.
The note was presented to the
cabinet today. President Wilson
will confer with Secretary Lam

clearing up the case before start

1t is reported that Germany did
not mention the matter of Civ

liners before they are attacked by
submarines, and that the note
contains a modified refusal TO
concede the wrong-doing of the
submarine which sank the Lusi-

entrust leadership.
For the most part the sign
ers are men who failed to
pass civil service examina-
tiOns or who, ut least, see In
the civil service system n
barrier to their attaining pub
lie appointments.
Our civil service system Is
far from faultless; but that
is no reason for abolishing II.
If We are to start In to abOl-
ish all the institutions that
are imperfect, we stagger to
think what a lonesome craft
the good ship Earth would
be.
Instead, one of the early
duties of our council should
be to strengthen and extend

There are enough correspondents claiming to

them come to the trenches only when there is
no chance of such activity.

sCHre " typnOiu
fever at Stadium High
school, which already has re-
suited In nine severe cases,
including that of Assistant
Principal II. Il. Perkins, is
being investigated this week
by Health Officer Wall and
his deputies.
That the disease has been
spread i'm the restaurant of
the school has been deter
mined almost definitely, he
says.
He has ordered a stringent
examination of the restau-
rant and all persons con-
nected with IL. II Is possible
that everyone employed I'm
the school cafeteria will be
subjected to "a typhoid anti
toxin.
Assistant Principal Perkins be-
came i'll a month ago, and was
removed to Tacoma General hos
pital a few days later. Shortly
afterwards two pupils, boy and
girl who had been attending
dances together, became serious
ly i'll with typhoid and were also
taken to hospitals.
Health officers made an inves-
tigation of the three cases and
we're perplexed over the origin OF
the disease. Water samples were
taken in all parts of the city, but
no trace OF the typhus germ was
found.
Trace Trouble to Cafeteria.
Within a few days other stu
dents of the Stadium High became
Ill with typhoid. For six days
there was new case reported
daily. With nine cases of the
same disease, all from persons at
tending the same school, Health
Officer Wallis suspicious were
aroused and he ordered a general
inv estigation.
Water from every faucet in
the school was tested, with mega
tive results. Then the health de-
partment discovered that every
person afflicted with the disease
had been patronizing the schools
cafeteria.
Working like a corps of detec-
tives, DR.. Wallis officers prObed
the restaurant system at the
school.
One q Carrier"
1t was found that 20 persons
were employed serving food dur
ing the noon hour. or this num-
Der eight were employed by the
cafeteria and the remainder were
students. Half of the 20 had
been i'll with typhoid at some time
or other In their lives.
Any person who has had ty-
phoid may continue to act as a
carrier of typhus baccili indefi-
nitely after he has apparently
been cured of the disease, accord
ing to DIR. Wall, and 1t is the be-
lief of the health department that
one of the employees of the Sta
dunn High school cafeteria is act
ing as typhoid carrier"
None for Two Days.
AS proof of this theory, DR..
Wall cites the case of Typhoid
Mary" of New York. who spread
the disease to hundreds of per-
sons unconsciously, while she was
not herself i'll with disease.
Basing his work on this theory,
DR.. Wall has given a temporary
order demanding utmost care and
cleanliness among the 20 en-
ployes of the school cafeteria.
Unless the individual who il
caring the disease Is discovered,

EXPEDITE
HEARING
OF RATE
BY Gibson Gardner

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan.
25.-The influence of judi
son G. Clements, a veteran
and much-respected member
of the interstate commerce
commission, will be used to
its utmost to secure an early
hearing on the application
of the public service commits
sion of the state of Washing
ton, which seeks to correct
the unfair discrimination in
passenger railroad rates
against Tacoma and other
points I'm the Northwest.
Part of the flies in the case Is
a letter from G.. A. Reynolds,
chairman of the public service
commission, of Washington, to
Judge Clements, asking that the
case be expedited, SO that the
Northwest may have the benefit
~ any rate correction which may
be made during next summers
tourist season.
VIII Expedite Case.
Judge Clements has said he
will do what he can, and the feel
ing about the interstate COM
merce commission is that the case
will be expedited.
According to the regular prac-
tice of the commission, the re-
spondent railroads would have
until February to file their re-
ply, which is still unified.
This might bring the hearing
in March, unless it were put at
the end of long calendar, and
the decision might be expected by
April or May, in time for the
spring and summer tourist sea-
son.
Make Rate Complaint.
The petition sets forth that the
railroads have made a rate from
Chicago through the Southern
and Central routes, New Orleans,
etc., to San Francisco and return,
which is $21.75 less in the regu-
lar season than the route through
Tacoma and Seattle, via st. Paul,
back to Chicago, and which Is
$3.50 less than the summer rate
by the same routes, though the
journey by the Northern lines is
approximately 253 miles shorter
than the distance to San Fran
cisco by the Southern line.
The petition sets forth,
also, that there are many
places of interest to tourists
along the Northern line, par
ticularly in the state of
Washington, where largo
sums of money have been ex.
pended by the state in the
construction Of highways
and the Improvement of state
reserves to make points of
interest accessible to tOur--
lists.

"The difficulty of starting is complicated
by orlr own barbed wire entanglements. They
are built to keep the enemy out, but they also
keep us in, and we can only get through by
way of narrow alleys that we leave for the

our trench, made to get out by.

On last Friday, October 9Th, at
about 2 o'clock a. m. fire was discov-
cred in one of Mrs. B. F. Cooper's
grocery stores, and as there was no
water supply nor TO fire extinguishers,
the people were unable to stop the fire
until it had burned more than one-half
of the business houses in Coopertown.
The list of property destroyed is as
follows: The Buxton hotel, valued at
$4,000, owned by Reuben Gaines, Sr.,
with but little insurance; the Cooper
drug store and stock, valued at $4,000;
Mr.. Anderson's (white) grocery store
building, owned by Mr. Cooper, store
and stock of goods valued at $4,000.
The next to 60 was the Masonic hall
and equipment valued at 81, 900, partly
insured; the Household of Ruth, the
Eastern Star lodge hall and the taber-
nacle all destroyed, valued at $4,000;
the Buxton cigar factory, owned by
Mr.. Roberts, valued at $500; the
CRANBERRY tailor shop was the next
building, valued at about $500. Then
the flames swept on east, reaching
their, amusement hall, which was
owned by Mrs. Cooper. The fire then
began to pursue its easterly direction,
burning several Of the residences. It
was finally stopped. The insurance
was very small, as no company would
risk more than about one-sixth of the
value. The cause is unknown.
