BABY TOKUG| KUBATA "
DRAVELY STOOD PAIN

Tokugi Kubata, six-year-old Japan
ese boy, about three o clock yesterday
afternoon attempted to cross King
street in front of motorcycle ridden
by Satisfaction Officer Joseph Lii. The
boy was struck and thrown to the
ground, stunned and bleeding from q
cash in his forehead.
Lii took the injured kiddie to the
emergency hospital, where his head was
dressed. Examination also revealed the
tact that the kid 5 left leg had been
broken. While stitches were being
taken in the wound the youngster never
as much as whimpered, indeed a more
remarkable exhibition of fortituda in
one so young it would be hard to find.
The boy 5 parents reside at 4lS =

street being quite crowded, and was
riding on the right side of the road.

Gross Income and Expense
As already related, revenues have
fallen materially the last two years,
though Manager Ballentyne's report
shows that operating expenses have
varied but little. The gross revenue
for 1918 was $500 ,564 AS; that for 1914
was $6l5, 5S3.0l, and for 1913 was $685.
T22.72. The operating expenses for the
| same three years, not including taxes
and ear licenses were: 1915. 1874 L.
20; 1914, 1857, 794.5l, and for 1913,
1871 ,242.26. Thus the net revenues OF
the company for these years were as
follows: 1915, 1927 1923; 1914, $247, :
1880, and 1913, 1884, 4S0 40. The sum
Of $3l ,4O6 was spent in making addi-
tons to the plant. 7
The number of fares purchased from
the company last year was 1882, 269.

BOOZE
'REPEATERS'

Two alleged "repeaters" are in
jail and County Detective Fred
Shaw is out looking for another,
as the result of sudden burst
of activity in the county auditors
office in spotting persons who
apply for liquor permits within
the 20-day limit.
Henry Miller, who, it is alleged
had obtained permit to import
two quarts of liquor a week ago,
was spotted by County Bartender
Doten Wednesday afternoon as he
was coming away with another
permit.
When taken before Justice Ora
ham, Miller offered to bequeath
his permit to anyone who would
let him go.
w. Kawasi, who is also in Jail
awaiting trial, told County Detec-
tive Fred Shaw that he had taken
out his second permit for another
Japanese of the same name.
Justice Graham sentenced Mil
Ter to pay $50 fine and spend
80 days in Jail.
An unusual rush for permits
has been on at the county audi
tors office recently.

BUSY TO THE LAST

If custom is followed, Franz
Josef will not be buried for at
least week. Probably his body
Will lie in state in the Horburg
Augustiner church, an edifice 400
years old.
The interment will be in the

The emperor was apparently in
fairly good health Monday night.
He arose at his usual hour on
Tuesday and went through his
customary program of busying
himself in governmental affairs.
The Archduchess Maria Valerie
assisted the aged ruler to his bed
room early Tuesday night. He
was unable to sleep and kept
complaining of pains in his
throat. At 9 o'clock he appeared
more quiet and seemed to be rest
ing. But 20 minutes later he
suddenly gestured to his throat,
seemed to strive for utterance,
and died within few moments.

END Is PEACEFUL

The immediate results of the
removal of the strong figure of
the aged emperor are believed
here to mean an increase in PrIs-
sian domination of the central en-

The emperor died in Schoen-

corrahal affection resulting from
a cold from which he has suffered
since July.

TEST CASE.
STARTS FOR
HIGH COURT
Omitted Press Leased Wire.)

hltcu fIcSS lIedStu w lTSsJ
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. %
Judge William C. Hook In the
federal court here today held
that the Adamson eight-hour law
Is unconstitutional and invalid.
He refused to grant the motion
put by federal attorneys, asking
that the application of the receiv-
ers Of the Missouri, Oklahoma &
Gulf railroad for an injunction
against the law be dismissed.
The government is expected to
appeal to the supreme court at
once, which will make this case
the test to determine in the high
est court in the land the constitu-
tionality of the law.
Judge Hook made his decision
at 11:1S o'clock this morning.
To Hurry Decision.
"My decision was merely to
rush the case to the supreme
court as rapidly as possible,
Judge Hook said after the deci-
sion.
81 have given the government
until O'Clock to perfect an
appeal"
Francis M. Wilson, U. s. dis
trict attorney, and Frank Hager-
man, special counsel for the gov
eminent, intimated that the APP
peal would be ready "by or be-
fore 3 o'clock"
Judge Hooks order directs the
plaintiffs and their counsel to CO.
operate with the department OF
justice in lodging the appeal In
the supreme court by Dec. a.
Case Is Typical.
In his decision he recites that
the case before him is typical of
number recently filed by rail-
road companies in various dis
trict courts in the U. S.
In it, he adds, the sole ques-
ton raised is that of the consti-
tutionality of the law, while the
other cases stand on application
for temporary injunction against
the enforcement of the Adamson
law.
An appeal from the other cases
he says, would go to the circuit
court of appeals, while an appeal
from a final order in the case be-
fore him will go direct to the su-
preme court of the United States.
The judge declares he has rem
derd the decision on short notice
in order ito facilitate final aad
authoritative determination of
the constitutional question.
The action brought by the rail-
road company against the broth
erhood will also be disposed of
this afternoon.
No Setback to u. s.
Judge Hook will either dismiss
the action or allow the railroad
company to file the same petition
against the government.
e. Marvin Underwood, assistant
attorney general of the U. s., who
arrived here this afternoon from
Washington to assist Francis M.
Wilson, district attorney, in the
case, said he believed the deci-
sion of Judge Hook was in no way
a setback to the government.
Judge Hook made the decision
without material consideration of
issue and on application of his
own receivers" Underwood said.

ALLOWS WAR
MOTHER YEAR

1t Is the custom these days to
predict the continuance of the
European war for anywhere from
two to ten years.
A man who has recently re-
turned to Washington after a
three months stay in England
and considerable excursion into
Germany, has described the stu
alton thus:
When a young man l visited
the morgue in Paris. On the slab
there were two bodies side by
side.
Zone was horribly mutilated
corpse; the other was perfect,
white and beautiful, with the ex-
ception of the wrists where the
veins had been opened with sui
cidal intent. The man had bled
to death.
This war is not to be settled
by the mutilation and destruction
typified by the first corpse. But
Germany's situation will be like
the man who bled to death; Ger
many will be In that state by a
year from now.
Those familiar with the situa-
ton in Germany know that that
country can go through the pres
ent winter without very great
suffering. The German people
can survive another summer with
the vegetables and grain crops
which they can raise.
But they cannot face a winter
after that. The shortage of fats
and meat is the serious thing in
the German situation. Fats are
being consumed at a terrible rate
in the manufacture of munitions
when the end comes Ger
many will be unmutilated and
perfect, but white and bloodless
and that time will be about q
year from this November"

RULED sc YEARS

The Archduke Charles Francis
Joseph, who has been in Vienna
for some time, was Immediately
notified. The telephone connect
ing Schoenbrunn palace with the
German headquarters in the field
was used to notify Emperor Will
liam of Germany.
1t is expected that in addition
to the kaiser, the car of Bull
garia and the crown prince of
Turkey will attend the funeral.
Franz Josef was born August
IS, 1890. His death ends a
reign longer than any in modern
history, except that of Louis XIV
of France-and Louis, unlike the
Hapsburg sovereign, assembled
the throne when a mere child of
five.

ORDERS SHORT-WEIcHINC
BREAD Men PROSECUTED

With orders to arrest Tacoma
bakers If he found any violations
of the weights and measures law,
Inspector Sanderson of the city
weights and measures department
was added to the bread crusaders
Wednesday.
Sanderson was advised by May
or Fawcett that certain bakers
were placing misleading labels on
their bread, and was given orders
to make arrests wherever he
found this true.
Some of the bakers are placing
printed wrappers bearing the
words "22 ounces" on loaves OF
bread that weigh only 16 ounces,
the mayor says.
IT accused one baker of this,
and he told me that he had lot
of his old wrappers on hand when
the increase in bread was called,
and that he is only trying to get
rid of them" Fawcett declared.
81 told him that he could either
re-stamp those wrappers. or 60 to
JAIL"
Fawcett insists that the bakers
furnish 20 ounces of bread for 10
cents.
II have obtained a fairly good
list of the bakers In Tacoma who
are treating their customers
square by not increasing prices in
accordance with the orders of the
bread trust" said the mayor
Wednesday.
II am giving out the names of
these fair bakers to anyone who
calls me up. My telephone was
