tills mornltiK when the public safe

on a communication from Police
Chief Griffith* recommended that
n measure be drawn up prohibiting
pedestrians from crossing streets
between Intersections from Yesler
to Pine, on PI rat, Second, Third
and Fourth a yen. and possibly on
Pine and Yesler from First to

"They nre doing It In other

that auto drivers should welcome
It, as they would only lose time
dodging people once a block In
stead of constantly.
It Is believed a pennlty fur vio

cluded In the measure.

HOW DUG S PATRONS
j DO LOVE THE S. E. CO.
Weird and wonderful are the
ways of ths Puget Sound Trac
tion, Light A Power Co.
Bareball fans, hastening to
their homes after a flame, use
the 12th Av. line as a means
of quicker transportation,
transferring from Setttle.
Renton & Southern. The
transfer point Is 12th and
Main.
The 12th Av. line begins a
block north of this point.
To uie the transfer, one
must wait for a Beacon Hill
car to ride this one block to
the trunsfer point. A S„ R &
S. transfer is no good, the 12th
Av. conductor informs the pas
sengers.
Often the fan won't wait for
the Beacon Hill car when he
sees the 12th Av. car is about
to start. And the S. E. Co.
gets the extra nickel.
The Renton line refuses to
take part In this trick. Ren
ton conductors take transfers
direct from the 12th Av. line.

WE MUST not only hitch our

YEP, irs
OLD T.R.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 13 —
"Preposterous treaties," "amiable
old women of both sexes," "mean
timidity." etc.
Yea. It's tile voice of T. R.
All Washington is discussing his
statement, made as he emerged
from the jungle* in Drazil, on the
Panama tolls and the Columbian
treaty, and the "watchful waiting"
policy in general
Discussing the latter, Roosevelt
let fly an awful haymaker on Sec
retary Hryan.
He said that when he sent the
fleet around the world, he did more
for universal peace than "the pre
posterous treaties framed to please
amiable old women of both sexes,
which Mr. Bryan, at the behest of
Mr. Wilton, can evolve in those
rare moments when he permits the
business of the state department to
serve what he regards as an ille
gitimate interruption to the pleas
ure and profit of Chautauqua lectur-
Ing."
Some wallop, eh? Put listen to
this on the Colombian treaty and
the payment h\ the I'nlt.-a States
of 125.000,000, which T. R, regards
as payment of "blackmail."
"Whether it is done in a spirit
of mean timidity, or an equally
mean spirit of trying to discredit
his predecessor in office," says
Teddy, "it would be precisely aa
dishonorable as for » future presi
dent to pay the heirs of Huerta
$25,000,000 as solace to their feel
ings because we occupied Vera
Cru*."
The administration's reversal on
the Panama tolls question was char
acterized as a violation of the
pledged honor of the democratic
party.
