Iitated.
When the family prepared to
retire about 10 o'clock the woman
declared she could put both the
babies to bed for the night. The
grandmother, however, insisted
on taking one of them-the girl.
When they were fixed for the
night, one of the twins in each end
of a large clothes basket, fold
ing bed was spread out for the
woman in the same room with the
twins.
Then Mrs. Young and the wom-
an started making the rounds Of
the house to see that everything
was all right. As they passed
|thrue the kitchen, MRS. Wagner"
inquired:
Are the doors all locked?"
Mrs. Young replied they were
all locked except the back kitchen
door, which she merely closed
Tightly.
Tries DOOrknob
Not satisfied with this reply,
the woman tried the knob of the
door to satisfy herself. She ap-
parently escaped with the baby
thru this door.
When Mrs. Young, aroused by
the girl baby's cry went down
stairs shortly after midnight she
found the bed had not been slept
in and that the light was still
burning in the kitchen.
She took up the girl baby from
the basket and handed her to a
Mrs. Graves, an invalid, to hold
while she prepared the milk.
Going back to the basket she
found the end where the bay had
been was empty.
When the woman arrived for
work Wednesday night, she had
no clothing with her except what
she was wearing. She did not
even have night clothes.
When asked about this by Mrs.
Young, she said all her clothes
were at the "home of her sister at
Fern Hill. An effort is being
made to find out who this sister
is. IL she exists at all.

BUY OUT THE T. r. e P. co.
If City is to Keep on
Advancing it Must
Solve Transportation
Problem at Once.

m For good many years the City of Tacoma has
vi had hired men running it's street railway sys-
tem-Messrs Stone & Webster.
But they didn't work for us alone. They worked
for many other cities, some of them much larger.
They worked, too, for John D. Rockefeller. They
dipped into the engineering and construction bust
ness They floated international trading enter
prises. They were very busy, and very far away.
AS result, they didn't take our business very
seriously. They thought great deal less about it
than they did about the salaries we paid them.
So, we have had great deal Of fault to find with
them. We felt that they did not have the upbuild-
ing Of our community at heart, as evidenced by
their failure to extend the car system to Camp
Lewis and to other places where we had business to
handle. We have felt that they didn't care whether
the cars cold and crowded and whether people
had to stand for long waits We felt that
they did not consider their obligations to the city
in the binding way that honest usually feel
their obligations. We felt that they were milking
the public rather than serving it.
m The council has crystallized that feeling into an
vi ordinance which undoubtedly will be passed
next Wednesday.
This measure provides the people on April shall
vote whether Stone & Webster shall continue to be
our hired men, or whether we shall let them go and
manage our own car system.
This ISSUE The Times believes, is one of the most
important the city ever faced. It as far more i'm
portant than the question of which men shall fill the
three council seats coming vacant.
The Times has been studying the question for
many weeks, and in general way for several
years.
We believe unqualifiedly that TACOMA
SHOULD TAKE OVER ALL IT'S STREET
RAILWAYS. We believe that is the time to
do it, We believe that the ordinance the council is
submitting, unless some joker is slipped in before
the measure passes, should be approved by the peo-
pie.
From day to day we are going to set forth why
we hold these views. If opponents Of the innOva-
ton wish to cOntrovert arguments we will glad
ly give space in columns to their opinions too.
M We feel that it is the first duty of every Tacoman
III to inform himself thoroy, to look at this ques-
ton without prejudice.
We believe that careful study of the whole mat
ter will convince any wide awake citizen of the
merits of the PLAN We believe it is great con-
structve program which is essential to supplement
our recent amazing community advances.
Tacoma never will obtain the benefit it should
from Camp Lewis and from it's shipbuilding in
dustry nor perform the great war work the nation
expects of it until it has frstclass local transpor
tation It never will obtain satisfactory car service
until it operates the cars ITSELF emphasizing the
idea of PUBLIC SERVICE and eliminating the
present keynote, PRIVATE PROFITS.
