ALLIES CAPTURE A STRONG FORTRESS
REBELS TO
BE SHOT

(By Cnitcd IVcss Leased Wire.)
MEXICO CITY, Oct. 24. —The
anuouncement that General Felix
Diaz, rebel leader, and his staff,
and one out of every ten men of
his command ia to be shot, came
as a great shock to the Mexican
capital today. As Diaz' force
numbered 2,000 men this means
that 200 soldiers will be executed.
It Is understood the rebels will

NEW YORK, Oct. 24 —The fol

by the federal troops Insures a
speedy pacification of the coun

assured complete protection, both
of life and property. It may be
taken for granted that the period
of trouble through which the

IVUUL.O a JUICY LEMON I v^U
Let the street car company increase straphangers 20 per cent.
Fine every citizen who gets on a loaded street car up to $100.
Hire an inspector to enforce this for the people to pay.
Compel the company to grant transfers good on any line.
Require the company to post the capacity of the car.
The foregoing is what Commissioner A. U. Mills proposes in his great
street railway ordinance which he has been promising the people for three
months as the summum bonum of all things good in street railway legislation,
for Tacoma. i
It looks like a large-sized lemon is about to be handed to the people.
The present ordinance requires the company to limit the loading of cars
to 20 per cent more than the seating capacity. Mills repeals this, and would
allow them to dump in 20 per cent more.
The present ordinance puts no penalty on the tired workingman who
wants to get home even if he does crowd on a loaded car, but Mills proposes
to sock the passenger $100 fine if he tries to get home on a loaded car after
being told it is loaded.
The present ordinance leaves it up to the present police department to
enforce this law as all others, but Mills wants to put a regular street car in
spector on to make another city employe for the people to pay.
The provision to compel the company to issue transfers at any time to
passengers good on any line, lawyers who have read the franchises say is not
worth the paper it is on, as it never could be enforced against the company.
The franchises give the company practically full say as to the method of issu
ing transfers.
This is the whole thing as far as new matter is concerned in the Mills or
dinance for which the people have been waiting for weeks under promise of
the commissioner of safety that he was going to do something great to the
street car company.
The thing is a howling farce, and it is doubtful if the rest of the commis
sion will consider it seriously.
"I'd like to know where he is going to get the money to pay his inspect
or with, we haven't got enough to pay what he's got now," said Owen Woods.

Charles Doughty, a real estate

ing that Goodwin has alienated
the affections of Mrs. Doughty,
who is known on the stage as
Marjorie Moreland.
Miss Moreland has explained
her relations with her husband,
in order, she says, to justify her
self.
"Four years ago," she says, "I
found it necessary to leave my
husband because he did not prop

might have some talent as an
actress and I sought employment
