SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 23. -
Mrs. Laura Scoble, cashier in a
Itheater, was murdered early today
lin the Hotel Aida, Eddy and
Mason streets, by Theodore Johns,
Ia waiter.
Johns then slashed his own
throat. He is dying at the Cen
trail Emergency hospital.
The crime was committed In a
most spectacular manner.
In a series Of remarkable
'death notes" Johns pictured
the woman as a vampire who
for 10 years had preyed upon
him.
Last night he took a room for
the night at the Aida. He brought
with him razor and revolver.
Mrs. Scoble, divorce with q
child, met him in the room.
She went to the bathroom to
arrange her hair. Johns entered,
a drawn razor in one hand, a re-
yolver in the other. He slashed
the woman's throat.
AS she rushed from the room
screaming, she brushed the tele-
phone receiver from the hook and
shouted for help.
A second later the night clerk
over the telephone heard revolt
yer reports coming from the room.
He rushed to the room and as
oil hn ha1
bled over the body of Mrs. Scoble.
Three bullets had entered her
back. s. .- &c.,.
In the room hotel employees
found Johns kneeling beside the
bed as IL in prayer. Blood was
streaming from cash in his
throat.
One hand Imply clutched a
razor while with the other he was
mechanically pulling the trigger
of an empty gun.
For many days the woman
had feared death. She had
planned to leave shortly for
the east. Only a few nights
ago she called a friend from
q theater and was heard to
say, '.he says he'll kill me,
the crazy fool"

Louis ii. Bean, manager
for the Tacoma Railway g.
Power Co., served verbal no.
tice on the city council We'd
nesday that his company
would start a legal fight to
prevent jitney buses from
operating in Tacoma.
His warning came two min
utes before the council had
passed an emergency ordi-
nance permitting donation
buses" to operate here.
The ordinance is to become
effective, under its emer-
gency clause, Thursday morn
ing, but buses cannot operate
here until they have deposit
ed $500 bonds with the city
controller.
This is an evasive ordinance
and simply changes the character
of the jitney bus" Manager Bean
told the council.
I'VE have no desire whatever
to interfere with bus service to
the army post, and have made no
effort to interfere with it. Meth
err would we interfere with buses
operating to any part of the city
not served by our street cars. But
IL this attempt is made to legalize
something that the state law has
already declared illegal, and ii
is plain that the ordinance simply
tries to evade the law, we will
certainly resist any unfair COM
petition with our lines. And
want to serve this notice upon the
council"
Goes Thru Unanimously.
II believe you have that right"
dryly replied Mayor Fawcett.
Without further comment the
roll call was ordered and the jit-
ney bus ordinance passed unanim-
ously.
The ordinance recites that traf-
fic conditions in Tacoma today
are such that additional transpor-
tation facilities are necessary.
Manager Bean of the T. r. & P.
Co. denied Wednesday that his
company was giving any worse
street car service than usual.
THE population of Tacoma has
increased suddenly and, of course
there are more people riding on
the cars" said Bean. But the
crowds are no greater than they
were four years ago, and the serv-
ice is better than it was at thai
time.
II am increasing the service or
the Sixth ave. line next week, fol
instance. We have been running
nine cars on that line. There will
be 16 cars there next week.
