POWER 90.
LOSES In
U. 5. court
Property Will Be Sold
June 10 Unless 1919
Taxes and Interest
Are Paid in Full

THE city Of Seattle and King
i county won hands down
Thursday in the fight between
them and the Puget Sound
Light and Power company over
the payment OF 1919 taxes,
Federal court here refused 10
grant an injunction asked by the
power company and by the Old
Colony Trust company. The peii.
ton sought 10 halt sale Of the com.
pany's property under distraint by
Sheriff Matt Starwich. on July 10.
The result Of the decision. Prose
cutor Malcolm Douglas said, win
be 10 cut more than one mill from
this years county taxes. The power
company. under the decision, must
pay into the county treasury a tax
of more than 100000, with interest.
bringing the total TO more than

STATES RIGHTS WIN
IN FEDERAL COURT
Thursdays decision was unsni-
mousiy concurrcd in by Federal
Judges Bourquin. CushInan and
Neterer. sitting en- banc.
They held. briefly. that collection
OF state tax was a matter be-
tween the state and the corporation
with which the United States had
no right TO interfere.
Prior to Thursdays decision the
county had obtained favorable de-
cIsions from the state supreme
court and the United States supreme
court upholding the validity OF the
tax.
The tax is that for the year 1919.
The carlines were taken over by
the city March 81 of that year
Soon afterward the question of pay.
ment OF taxes was raised. II has
been decided. in each case. in the
county's favor.
COAIPANY'S NEXT
MOVE is UNKNOWN
Three courses are open to the
company. 1t has three days in
which 1t may file an amended APP
peal: II may go 10 the circuit court
OF appeals, or 1t may pay the tax
and afterward start suits against
the county for its recovery.
In the light OF recent decisions
no one OF the courses appears to
offer much hope. Federal courts
undoubtedly would sustain the
action OF the local U. s. tribunal.
James B. Howe. attorney for the
company, would throw no light on
the concerns next move
II have nothing TO say" he re-
piled TO questions
He was asked: "Will the COM
pany allow the seized property TO
be sold?' This ELECTED the same re-
ply.
The county's case was handled
by Prosecutor Malcolm Douglas and
Deputy Prosecutor Howard A. Ham
son. Every contention made in
their answer TO the injunction Pc
titions was upheld by the court.

Longer Faces as
Ages Advance

London. May II CA. =. by MalD-.
The human face is not what Il used
to be. Professor Sir Arthur Keith
declared recently before the dental
board of the Royal College of Sur
Eeons that curious change In talk.
ing place in the processes of growth
affecting the face. which makes tho
modern face Il half inch longer than
the ancestral physioRuomy.
The bone OF the mouth, Il seems.
is growing downward and carrying
with it the teeth, as the result of
which the face is daily getting near
er the standard set by the blood
hound. These changes also are af-
fcCting the upper bones OF the face,
giving it also a downward tendency.
Sir Arthur believes that tho
changes are related to the changes liza
society brought about by the indus
trial revolution. and due TO n large
extent to the absence OF light in
large cities. The contracted palate
of the modern skull has been
brought about by these tendencies.
Sir Arthur has discovered among
other things that the teeth are now
twelve millimetera below the teeth
OF primitive people; that there has
been downward growth OF tho
chcekbone: that the teeth are sink
Ing backward: that there has been
the growth of more bone from the
lower jaw and the appearance OF IL
sharp ledge OF bone between the
teeth and the nose
These changes" declared the lee
turer, are not only among the most
remarkable in the human body, buc
they are not anything like finished.
am convinced that this displace-
ment Of the teeth and the resultant
contraction Of the palate is connect
ed with such disorders as adenoids,
and that they are all part and parcel
OF a disorder of growth about which
we az yet know little"
The speaker added that far from
the contracted palate being a sign
Of stupidity. man with a contract
ed palate was often more Intelligent
and more courageous than another
man.
