A motion picture machine ac-
companied the coyote hunt which
was staged on Steilacoom prairies
Saturday by prominent sportsmen
and women of Tacoma and Sc
attic.
The 30 riders were attired in
the conventional red coats, and
there were the proper accompani-
ments of hunting horns, etc., but
the intended victim, which had
been raised for the purpose in the
kennels of Harry Whitney Treat,
Seattle clubman, was consequent
ly too chummy with the dogs to be
afraid of them, and saw no rea-
son for running away.
He was quite right about that,
a. the dogs could not be induced
to attack him. He and they in
dulged in a pleasant game of tag,
while the riders fumed.
Finally the coyote and one dog
were started, and ran side by side
for some distance, nippins at each
other now and then in friendly
way.
This was the hunt clubs oppor-
tunity, and they made the most
of it, taking several harb-wire
fences, and otherwise enjoying a
pretty fair imitation of hunt for
q few minutes, though it was
rather hard to keep from running
over the coyote and his friend.

FIND BODY OF
DEAD AUTOIST

SEATTLE, Jan. 15.-Interest
in the murder charges against
young Ebert w. Blancett of Fri
day aHrbor, Wash, quickened to-
day with the announcement that
the body of Clyde Armour, who he
is alleged to have killed, has been
unearthed 20 miles from Santa
Fe, N. M.
Blancett attempted to commit
suicide before kissing his mother
goodbye at Friday Harbor, New
Years day.
z1e was on a stretcher when he
was taken aboard a train at Seattle
for Albuquerque, N. NJ, yester-
day, self-inflicted gunshot wounds
having only partially healed.
Armour was recently taking an
automobile trip from Iowa to New
Mexico and suddenly disappeared.
Relatives learned that a stranger
had signed his name to telegraphic
requests for money. The automo-
bile was sold. Blancett was
charged with being Armour's
travelling companion, whom Ar
mour picked up at Denver.
The body was found by a
rancher. Buried beside il was a
shotgun. One shell had been ex-
ploded.

Pantages Musicians
Strike; Owners Wife
Plays for Rehearsal

Suddenly taking on a wider
scope than had been anticipated,
the strike of musicians at the
Pantages theater, which began
Monday, is liable to affect every
theater in the Pantages circuit.
Dave Lindsay, business agent
for the stage employees union,
announced at noon Monday that
he would call strike of all stage
hands at the Pantages unless q
union orchestra were used, and
that he would also send out call
to the international union for
general strike of stage employees
in all theaters of the groupe ex-
tending from Kansas City to Van
couver.
Mrs. Alexander Pantages, play
ing the violin, and young woman
pianist, put the new Pantages acts
through theri regular rehearsal
Monday morning. Lindsay declar-
ed that if Mrs. Pantages occupied
the leaders, seat in the orchestra
pit at the opening matinee, the
performance woul end abruptly.
Regent Yields.
The Regent theater, having &C
ceded to the emans of its orches-
ira for a raise of salaries, went
on with its performance as sched-
uled.

Musicians in Tacoma gave no.
tice OF the vaudeville houses in
December that they wanted an in
crease. The time limit was Jan.
/. On account of the holiday
rush, the musicians offered to ex-
tend the period two weeks. The
time was up Sunday night.
At that time Manager Donnel-
Ian of the Regent agreed to the
new scale of wages, and paid his
musicians their extra money for
the past two weeks.
Myers Refuses.
Manager Myers of the Pantages
refused. AS a result of his re-
fusal, the orchestra refused to
appear for the Monday rehearsal.
Alex Pantages, owner of the
circuit, with Mrs. Pantages, who
is an accomplished violinist, and
a young woman pianist, arrived
in Tacoma at 1880 and immedi-
ately began with rehearsals.
1t was announced that the Or
chestra Of two women would pro-
duce all music for the Pan
shows. Pantages expressed little
fear of a general strike.
The musicians demand a raise
from $35 to $40 for orchestra
leaders and from $27 to $50 for
other players.

NopCN"h w AiC lhhCosJ
OLYMPIA, Jan. 15-The Lady
from Yakima" the only woman
member of the legislature, Mrs.
Ina P. Williams, baked IL loaves
of bread, fed the chickens and did
the washing and ironing, the day
before she came to Olympia.
She also administered the last
rites of milking to her COW and
turned it over to neighbor to
care for till she gets back home.
The LADY who milks the cow"
as she is known here, is from Mis-
souri,. And her old Missouri grand
mother hasn't anything on her in
the way of domestic propensities.
When talk about equal rights
for women" said Mrs. Williams,
as she sat at her desk in the
house. and surveyed the room full
of men folks thru a cloud of to-
bacco smoke, Il mean equal re-
sponsibilities for women"
No Hen -Pecker."
Not long ago a neighbor of
mine told her friends she bet
henpecked my husband; she said
she was sure | was a mankiller.
But let me tell you, I'll wager
she herself is the mankiller. If
she has pain in her toe at night,
III get he has to get up and rock
her and baby her. If she wants to
go to a show and he's tired after
the day of bread earning, she'll
weep on his neck until he puts on
his hat and coat to comfort her.
Hubby Never Walked Floor
with all my babies, I'm
proud to say that my husband
never had to get up at night
to rock the baby.
Il figured that if he can earn
the money in the daytime, can
hold up my end of the game about
the house.
Her Hands Show Work,
That's what l mean by equal
responsibility"
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-01-15

The manicurist girl lifted her
eyebrows when she saw the rough
ness of Mrs. Williams hands,
when the lady from Yakima was
getting fixed up for the legis-
lature.
The roughness came from maxi
ing garden, shoveling fuel ITO the
furnace and doing othtr little
womanly jobs about her home.
When Mrs. Williams first ran
for office in 1910, the men folks
told her to "go back home and
mind her business" But she has
brought them down a peg. In the
last campaign, she led her ticket
platform, with the backing of re-
publicans. progressives, democrats
and socialists.
No Child Is TIIigitimate.
She isn't saying much yet, but
she promises to spring few
things before she gets thru.
One of the bills she intends to
introduce provides for legitimate
ing all children. She is for giving
every child, regardless of parent
age, an equal opportunity.
In fact, this bill probably will
go to the public morals committee
of which she Is chairman.
She has four daughters who can
do things. The Oldest, a high
school student at North Yakima,
campaigned for statewide prohibit
ton when she was Is.
They say she can beat her moth
er when 1t comes to talking. The
next oldest is a student at Broad
way high school, Seattle. She's a
musician. All of the daughters are
good cooks.
She's No Priscilla.
THE way the members of my
family work is to help each other
individualize, to carry out the
work each one is best fitted for"
says Mrs. Williams. This is the
way she describes herself:
I'm not a Priscilla. I'm Just
plain, ordinary, home-loving, prac-
teal woman"

COYOTE Lives to Lead
the Hunt Another Day

At one time the animal was
surrounded, and for moment
took the matter so seriously that
it took refuge in a bush. 1t was
soon treasured, however, and en-
joyed another little run before be-
ing captured and returned to its
box.
Harry Whitney Treat turned a
somersault from his horse in jump
ing a fence. The motion-picture
machine was not present, unfor-
tunately. Miss Marjorie Tonkin
of Victoria, also fell off her
horse. She landed right in front
of the camera, but so close that
the photographer missed that,
too.
Before returning to Steilacoom
to re-ship the horses to Seattle,
the party leaped fences for the
chagrined movie operator.
Among those in the party were
Chester Thorne, DR.. James r. Yo-
com and daughter of Tacoma, G..
A. Skinner, George Lauer, Dave
Whitcomb, Raymond Frazier,
Mrs. j. S. Goldsmith, Miss Mar
garet Hansard, Mrs. Goss, Miss
Joyce, Gilbert Skinner, Miss
Frances Skinner, Mary Little,
Mrs. G. f. Skinner, Mrs. c. S. Mil
Ter and J. w. Matthews of Seattle.
The party stopped at Mr.. Thorne's
home on the way to the Tacoma
hotel for dinner.

T.R. & P. FIGHT
BEGINS TODAY
Continued From Page One.)

They contended that not only
does this law fail to grant the re-
lief, but that it does not even i'm
ply it.
This move, it is understood, has
been planned by the Stone &c Web
ster interests for the last five
years. They have been waiting to
spring it in the hope that the leg
islature would pass law giving
the relief asked for.
absolutely Impossible"
The defeat of the certificate of
necessity referendum, it is under
stood also, has knocked out all
hope of getting such law passed
in the present legislature.
The plea presented the public
service commission by Attorney
Howe for the T. r. & p. was along
the lines laid out in the publicity
campaign carried on by the rail-
way company for several months.
The company asserted 1t would
be absolutely impossible to COM
ply with the provisions of the
franchise, charging a street car
fare of "only 5 cents" and give
to the Tacoma public such service
as the public service commission
requires.
Why In This Case?

LIEBkNECHT Sentenced
TO YEARS OF HARD LABOR

Liebknecht after an appeal which
has been pending for months.
The charge on which he was
arrested was participation in an
anti-war May Day celebration in
1916 and on June 90 of that year
he was sentenced to 80 months
Imprisonment.
He took an appeal and was re-
sentenced Aug. 23 to four years
and one month, the court also de-
priving him of all civil rights for
a period of six years. He appeal
ed three days later.
The Zurich report of his latest
sentence probably means Lieb-
knecht has again lost an appeal.

introduced his bill providing for
non-partisan elections of members
of the public service commission
placing jitneys in the class of
common carriers to be regulated
accordingly. giving cities the right
to say by vote whether or not
their public utilities shall he reg
ulated by the public service COM
mission.
The last clause is included also
in an amendment which has been
drafted by Corporation Counsel
Caldwell, to be introduced later
in the session. Another amend
ment which he has drawn makes
cities parties to all legal actions
and hearings in which the public
service commission and private
corporations are involved.

right back at this threat of sus-
pension.
Why should the state protect
the income of the T. r. & P. any
more than that of any other priv
ate corporation? was the question
put by Attorneys Harmon and
Caldwell.
City Precedents.
The railway company has been
using the public streets for priv
ate profit. Even if it is failing to
pay dividends on its capital stock.
even if 1t is losing money, is that
any reason why 1t, more than any
other corporation, should be re-
lieved of living up to the contract
it entered into when it obtained
the right to do private business
on public streets?
They cited the minority opin-
ions OF Justices Morris and Ellis
in the supreme courts telephone
decision of 1913, as showing that
the state constitution as it was
framed, gave cities of the first
class the right to make their own
charters and draw up their own
franchises, as long as they COM
Piled with the general provisions
of the state law.
Home Rule Name.
They cited the laws and supreme
court decisions that followed as
showing how this constitutional
right has gradually been whitfield
away until home rule" now is lit
