Suppress
German
PubliCiSt

BERLIN, Jan. S.-Maxmilian
Harden has been prohibited from
speaking and writing during the
remainder of the war, it was
learned today. His Weekly
Zukunft," has been suppressed
for attacking the government.
The reason Is not known outside
of Germany.
Harden previously criticised
food regulations and other gov
eminent acts.
Four years ago Harden gave
the United Press an interview
predicting that war between Ger
many and England was inevitable
unless there should be complete
change in German policies.
The suppression is one of the
most drastic acts of the censor
ship since the beginning of the
war. Harden has been one of The
most feared publicists.
He was formerly an intimate
friend of Bismarck.
His chief fame was gained
through charging "unspeakable
immortality" in the kaiser's en-
tourage. He was acquitted of libel
charges in connection with this
exposure.

by Petit. He later became. sue

officer for the city, and mounted
cop for the county. He was one
of the first men to operate a jit-

OPENING
WAY FOR
JITNEYS
Saturday, Jan. 8, 1910

A committee of five represents
ing the Stevens st. Improvement
club met last night in the X. OF
P.Nhall with the jitney associa-
tion and agreed to level the cross
ings and improve North Stevens
st. 80 the jitneys can make a COM
plete circuit from the city on the
Sixth av. and Point Defiance
lines.
The association has not enough
cars to handle the present bust
ness, according to Secretary Will
son, but will add more than 100
when the new bond proposition
natures.
s. G. Grimes, who is to install
the new system of bonding the
jitneys, is expected in Tacoma to-
day. He claims he can bond each
jitney under blanket bond for
$65 year, paid in monthly in
stallments.

WILD CATS FEASTING
ON QUAIL AND LARKS

the birds is to clear a small area
and scatter wheat, oats (prefer-
ably rOlled), millet or cracked
corn.
The wildcats, which feed norm
ally on ground hogs, or what are
called mountain beaver, have
come to the green timber because
the birds are there. The ground
hogs are covered over with snow
and the cats have no chance to
get them.
The break in the severity of
the weather and the thawing of
the snow will prove the salvation
of many wild birds in the Puget
Sound country, where thousands
have died during the cold spell,
Prof. Trevor Kincaid, head of
the department of biology at the
University of Washington, said
today.

Bean Fails
In Effort
On Mayor

With the final vote on the aux
iliary power franchise ordinance
scheduled for next Wednesday,
Louis Bean buzzed about the city
hall today attempting to learn
how his pet measure would be
treated.
For the first time in months,
Bean visited Mayor Fawcett. Bean
was there to attempt to urge the
mayor to cease opposing the ordi-
nance, and his attitude was that
OF a small boy trying to argue his
mother into permitting him to eat
green apples.
81 am going to fight your ordi-
nance, and | am going to ask the
council to change several of its
most Objectionable features" the
mayor frankly told him.
IL don't know what the coun-
Gil will do, but 1t is a question of
whether they will vote with the
people or with Bean. 1t Is an Or
dinance that gives everything to
your people, Mr.. Bean, and grants
nothing to the city but measly q
! per cent of gross earnings on the
new lines which you are permitted
to build"
1t was limited today that Com
mismisioner Wods, who is rum
ming for reelection, would vote
with the mayor against the ordi-
nance next Wednesday, with the
other three commissioners voting
for 1t.

Helpless quail, robins and
meadow larks, driven into the
green timber by the recent storm,
should be fed by clearing a small
area of snow and scattering
grain, say woodsmen who have
just been out in the wilds.
The quail and lark are natur-
ally ground birds and are now
feeding under logs, roots of up
turned trees and IN all places
that are sheltered enough to
keep the ground bare. The quail
in running around through the
snow searching for food, get
their feathers wet and little balls
of ice form on them, so that the
birds are absolutely helpless.
AS a consequence, wildcats are
simply feasting on quail, robins
and meadow larks.
All that is necessary to feed

'PIGGERS'
ALREADY

That several saloons in Tacoma
which supposedly are selling soft
drinks are really dispensing alco-
holic liquor to many of their old
time customers, has been reported
to the police.
BY ordering "ginger ale fizz,''
and accompanying the request
with sly wink of the left eye,
according to information given
Police Capt. Read, one may expect
to receive perfectly good whisky
highball, il one is we'll enough
known to the barkeep.
The police department is handi-
capped in its efforts to discover
this Illicit sale because all mem
bers OF the force are known to
the saloon men, according to
Read, and it will be necessary to
hire special policemen to gain the
necessary evidence.
Some of these saloons that
are selling wet-dry drinks even
have spoilers working for them, "
said Read. Yesterday one of
these stood In front of down
town saloon all day, giving the
tip to those inside whenever an
officer came in sight.
1--WE have been fairly lenient
with the liquor dealers this week,
but on Monday We are going after
them in real style, and | hope that
every man arrested for selling
booze illegally will be given
jail sentence instead of a fine"
1t is reported that some of the
saloons are putting a few drops
of alcohol in each glass of near
beer sold to the wise ones" the
resulting drink being practically
the same as 1915 beer.

DENTIST
UP FOR
CRUELTY

Claiming he struck her six-year-
old child Lena while she was In
a dental chair because the little
girl would not keep still, Mrs.
verna Swanson had a warrant
sworn out today for the arrest OF
DR.. w. b. Burns, one of the pro-
prietors of the Electro Dental
Parlors, charging him with third
degree assault. Justice Graham
fixed the bail at 500.
Mrs. Swanson claims she took
the girl to the dental parlors
Tuesday suffering from a painful
tooth. After one of the attend
ants had attempted to pacify the
child, DR.. Burns took hand in
the affair, 1t is said. He roughly
rubbed his finger over the sore
gum, greatly torturing the
frightened child, the mother
claims.
10 Lost Temper.
After getting her in the chair
to pull the tooth, DR.. Burns is
alleged to have lost his temper
when the child squirmed because
of her intense pain. He slapped
her five or six times, according
to the mother.
Deputy Prosecutor Thompson
said today that the child's face
was still swollen and showed
signs of an attack yesterday.
e. N. Sternberg, attorney for
Burns, was highly indignant to-
day because, he said. his client,
wealthy man, was Inundated by
threatened confinement in the
county jail IL he did not furnish
the cash bond.
Burns conducts the Electro
Dental Parlors in conjunction
with j. F. Austin.

MERCHANTS
WILL MEET

A spirit of cooperation was
shown last night at the meeting
at the Commercial club among
the members who met to discuss
reorganization plans. Several
objections were made at first to
the budget prpared by II. v.
Chase, who is in charge of the
reorganization, but entire peace
was restored before the meeting
adjourned.
Arrangements are being made
to invite every retail merchant in
Tacoma to a meeting Monday
night when the reorganization
plans will be explained.
There is possibility that a
representative of the Portland
Commercial organization will be
present to tell the local mer-
chants of the success in that city
of the plans which are being used
in this city.

ELECTION
TO BE BIG

The biggest primary election
in the history of Tacoma is ex-
pected April 4, as the result of
a registration ruling announced
today by City Attorney Stiles.
Under the 1915 election laws, ac-
cording to Stiles, no person can
vote at the general, or final cleo
tion on April Is, unless he mas
voted at the primary.
Heretofore the primary cleo
tion voting has been apathetic,
with a big vote at the second
polling. BY the new ruling, how
ever, the primary vote will be
larger than its successor.
