FIFTEEN.MINUTE CAR
SERVICE CHANGED BY
STREET RAILWAY CO.

The extra winter service of the IS
minute cars will be discontinued to-
day, according to an announcement
by the Street Railway company. The
fifteen minute service which has been
given during the winter months has
been shortened from the last car at
GAS D.. m. to S:45 p. m. The thirty
minute service will continue as usual
during the day and after 8:45 in the
evening.
At present the railway company is
running the first fifteen minute car at
7:15 a. M. until the last fifteen min
ute car leaves the university at $3.50
D.. M, and the last quarter hour car
leaves the South End at 8 p. m. This
is being done for experimental pur-
poses to find whether the extra quar-
ter hour car in the morning is more
popular than the last one at night.
If the business warrants, both cars
will be continued, according to the
management but if the cars are not a
success either the extra morning or
evening car will be taken off.
The coming of summer has greatly
relieved the street rail way of o n
siderable patronage, making it nec-
essary to reduce the service as done
in former years. during the sum-
.mer months. An accurate record is
being kept of the first and last quar-
ter hour n to determine which is
the most popular in case one has to
be discontinued.

Wilson Got Record
Vote in Seattle

President Wilson broke
even on the state of Wash
ington in his two presiden-
tial campaigns. In 1912 he
lost the state TO Theodore
Roosevelt and the progress
i've ticket. But he didn't
need Washington's elector-
al votes much that year, as
he had several score to
spare. In 1916, when the
race was much closer,
Washington gave Wilson a
plurality of $1,000 over
Hughes-and Wilson GER
tainly welcomed those sew
en- electoral votes. Seattle
gave Wilson 1000 major
ity in 1916-the most any
democratic party candidate
ever got here.

TREATMENT At M'NEL
ISLAND INVESTIGATED

What is the truth about Hulet M. Wells?
Is Hulet M. Wells being strung up by the
thumbs at McNeips Island? Is he being
singled out for cruel and unusual treatment
by a brutal warden who has it in for him, or
not? -.
How about the dungeon, the lack of food!
Is he getting a square deal or is he getting a
dirty deal?
The Star thought it worth while to get the
truth about the Wells case.
To date the truth has not been published;
Dart of the truth has, but not all Of it.
And the general public has an interest in
the governments treatment of its prisoners.
If needless brutality, useless cruelty,
sxicious spleen, is being indulged in it should
stop, no matter who is the victim.
So yesterday Star correspondent went
to McNeips Island.
The CORRESPONDENT secured the warden's
statement, the version of the prison doctor,
and the statement Of Wells himself.
The correspondent saw the records, was
given every facility to discover the plain
truth; was frankly given the facts by all
parties concerned, and he was the first per-
son to whom all the facts have been given,
and the only person from the outside world
who has seen Wells except the attorney and
doctor of Wells.
To no person before has the warden made
a abatement; to no one has been given access
to the records.
What follows is a plain statement of the
case written without bias, comment, ex-
cept such as seems necessary for a true un-
derstanding of the facts as given.
The Star went out to discover the truth;
it got it; here it is:
First what the prison record shows
It shows that Hulet NJ Wells received June 10.
That he gave as his occupation farming woodsmani.
