Bi. 20 FIREMEN FALL INTO ROARING FURNACE FOOLISH SCHEME TO FOOL PUBLIC Crowd That Fought for Royal Arch Would Muddle Up Law Passed by the People. Driven to final report, a crowd which supported the Royal Arch straight through the recent campaign la now trying to muddle the anti-treat ordinance which the people thought well enough of to pass. ' It may be that a decision from the city attorney will prove the exact scope of the law and may or may not affect cafes where liquor la served with meals. BUT —Every man and woman—at least ninety-nine out of every hundred —realized that the anti-treat law in spirit was aimed at the bar rooms, commonly called saloons. If that evil—evil be cause the people have called It so—is eradicated by observance of the anti-treat law, the big mass of people who use common sense thinking will agree that the object which they had In their hearts »t the ballot box has been achieved. The city officials may or may not decide that the cafes come under the anti-treat law. There have been cafes in Tacoma where liquor should never have been served. There are other cafes and restaurants which have never been complained of. It is & laughable thing to h«ar consternation expressed from quarters which swung with the Royal Arch, that young girls are to be doomed In the event "that the anti-treat law does not pro vide against drinking of a glass of beer at a meal by those who do not believe in prohibition. Why this sudden talk about young girls? Why is It not point ed out that a city statute makes provision as to minors assembling in places where liquor is Bold? The Times has no desire to question any official verdict as re gards selling liquor in cafes. BUT— The people voted -in spirit against the anti-treating evil as it commonly existed. If this ordi nance provides against drinking in cafes or restaurant it is up to the city officials to carry out the law. An attempt coming from dis gruntled quarters to make light of the law because support of the Royal Arch proved fruitless, will not for a moment deceive the public. WEATHEK.

Savage, Dr. Luema Johnson and Rev. Abble Danforth In the advocacy of Seymour for mayor. Mr. Seymour said he had been called a "silk stooklng" and a so cialist. He admitted he was an Idealist and said lie was a member of the Country club. He said he had also been called a "corpora ition man." "I am connected with corpora tions, and I expect to be fair with corporations^ but I am not tfut up by any corporation, and perhaps I can serve the city because of what I know of corporations," he said. Mr. Seymour gave an explana tion of that $10,000 he gave the city several years ago which went Into the Seymour conservatory In Wright park. It was the first time the people ever knew what was back of that. Mr. Seymour said that when he owned the gas plant here he had been compelled to borrow $80,000 in own name. Two men learn ed of it and tried to buy the gas plant, but would not pay what he wanted. They threatened to start a competing company. Seymour said he went to Mayor Wright and asked him if he would protect him by refusing to grant a franchise to the opposition. Wright agreed to do It, and did keep the other men out of the field, and later Seymour sold his plant at a big price and in gratitude sent $10,000 to Wright for the city, and it was used for the Seymour eonserva- tory. Before entering the race for mayor, Mr. Seymour said he was jiu favor" of a restricted district, ibut last night when asked about It he said he would "sponge it out." He* declared he did not believe the people were In favor of it. CONGRATULATES MAYOR FAWCETT The following telegram was re ceived by Mayor Fawcett today from E. R.
