RAIDER
TOLL YET
GROWING

Copyright, 1917, United Press
BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 10.
The German raider still is
at large, and If reports from
Rio de Janeiro today are
correct, has increased her
score of merchant ship VIC
tins by six.
By this time she may not be
alone in her depredations-it
being accepted here that she has
transformed one or more of her
prizes into raiders like herself.
In the meantime the greatest
sea hunt in history is on in the
South Atlantic.
Amusement at the raiders au-
dacity grew here today.
From the log of the British
steamship Radnorshire, one of
the victims, it was learned that
the German calmly took moving
pictures of her destruction OF
various ships.
May BE the Moewe.
The belief grew here today that
the raider is the Moewe, of pre-
vious raiding fame. This iden-
LITIGATION came after additional
questioning of survivors landed
at Pernambuco.
Rio De Janeiro dispatches
stating that the British steamer
Yarrowdale had arrived at st
Vincent Tuesday with the crews
of eight victims of the raider
aboard also quoted those survivors
as to this Identification.
The Rio report did not list the
six additional ships over whose
fate there was anxiety, and il
may be that this is merely a re.
capitulation of the number OF
allied vessels which recently left
South American ports or which
were due to arrive, and about
which there has been no informa-
ton for some time.
Log Tells Story.
The most graphic story of the
raiders methods was told in the
log or the captain OF the British
steamer Radnorshire, brought
ashore with the survivors aboard
the Hudson Maru at Pernambuco
"At 1890 on the night of Jan.
z, following our departure from
Pernambuco, we sighted a vessel
ahead" the log related.
AT that time we were travel
ing without lights-having re-
ceived warning to watch out for
possible raiders-and as soon as
we sighted the stranger, we
changed our course. But the
two vessels had apparently sight

LAWYERS TO
AID TOM LYLE

The executive committee of
citizens which assisted Stephen
Appleby in launching the army
post project Friday announced
that it had retained attorneys to
assist in handling legal work in
connection with the future de-
velopment of the plans.
These attorneys are Clinton
w. Howard of Bellingham; e. s.
McCord, Seattle, and P. c. Sulli-
van of Tacoma.
They will work in cooperation
with j. T. s. Lyle, special counsel
for Pierce county, and his assist
ant, Scott z. Henderson.
The three attorneys retained
by the committee will be paid
from the citizens fund, not from
county funds, and their work
will be purely advisory.
They are retained, 1t is explain
ed, SO that the fullest legal light
may be brought to bear on the
somewhat intricate problems in
volved.

CHASED BY DIVER

PORTLAND, Me-, Jan. 10. -
Bearing the marks of shells and
with two wounded seamen aboard,
the British freighter Palm Beach
arrived here today with a story
of a 40-minute chase by a German
submarine.
The freighter is in command of
Captain Mailing.
The vessel was coming here
from Cardiff and while in the
English channel was suddenly ap-
preached by submarine, which
came to the surface within q few
hundred yards.
Captain Mailing changed his
course and put on steam, while
the submarine followed, firing
high explosives from a large gun.
According to the captain and
members of the crew, 10 out of
SO shots fired took effect.
Fortunately all the shots were
above the water line. Four of the
lifeboats were carried away and
one shot exploded in the engine
room. During the chase two of
the sailors were injured.
The submarine finally submerg-
ed, supposedly because of the
proximity of a large number OF
trawlers, and the freighter con-
tinued her voyage.

CITY Will NEED
MORE CURRENT

An auxiliary municipal power
plant, to be ready to help out the
present 100000 Nisqually
hydro-electric system when il
reaches its limit capacity within
the next two years must be OBJ
tanned Immediately by the city.
Mayor Fawcett and. the city
councilmen agreed unanimously
on the need OF an auxiliary sta
ton Friday even before Commits
sioner Gronen had submitted a
statement showing the rapidly in
creasing demand on the city S
plant.
The two greatest questions
how to raise money for the second
plant, and what sort of auxiliary
to build-are still to be decided.
Limit Coming Rapidly.
Rapid increase in demand on
the municipal plant in the past
two years, together with estimat-
ed increases during the next few
months, due to the army post,
shipyards and other new indus
tries, will cause the capacity of
the plant to be reached within IS
months, Gronen estimated.
The question for the council to
decide is whether to erect a steam
plant. to be used during peak
load periods to carry the pres
ent plant through. or to buy a
second hydro-electric site and
build another immense plant.
When the question of finances
came up Friday, City Attorney

Harmon was instructed to mako
an immediate investigation and
report to the council Saturday
morning.
Close to Legal Limit.
The city is bonded for utilities
within 100000 of its legal limit.
Commissioner Gronen told the
council he believed that the coun-
ell could float bonds for a second
power station without going to
the people and without humping
up against the legal limit, on the
ground that the auxiliary would
be an extension of the present
system and not a new industry.
According to Gronen's figures,
the present peak load of the city
power plant is $500 kilowats.
The capacity Is $4,000.
Many Demands.
He estimated that the follow
ing demand for new business
would he made shortly: Sea-
born shipyards, $50 kilowats;
Washington shipyards, 200; Hyde
shipyards, 200; Todd shipyards,
5000; Bilrow-Alloys Co., 5000;
Pantages theater, $50; Steel Fur
mace Co., 500; army post, 1.500;
Tacoma Heating Co., 700. To-
gether with many smaller de-
mands. the total demand in Is
months will be for 21,975 kilo-
watts. Gronen figured.

RIGHTS FIGHT

SACRAMENTO. CAL, Jan. 10.
"A nationwide movement was
started today in the California
legislature for a sweeping change
in the system of imposing, collect
ing and distributing income and
inheritance taxes.
The purpose, as given in joint
resolution introduced in both
houses, is to check the encroach-
ment by the federal government
upon sources of revenue hereto
fore regarded as reserved exclu-
sively to the states.
The California tax commission
suggests that the federal govern
ment should confine its jurisdic-
ton to incomes in excess of $780,
600 as to the income tax and to
estates in excess of $6,000,000 as
to the inheritance tax.
