FOR JUICE city Attorney Stiles this after noon started a friendly unit agairißt Pierce county, to tent whether the courthouse is enti tled to a half rate on tis light ing bill. This Ims been a point of dif ference between county and city commissioners. When the county commission ,. ers, over a year ago, granted the city a right-of-way for its trans mission line, on a county road, the condition whs imposed that the courthouse hereafter should be lighted at half price. Judge Stiles insists that this agreement was illegal, and is of no effect. MUNICEMETERY IN PREFERENCE v With two applications in for cemeteries near Tacoma, the council today held up both of them when Mayor Fawcett again broached his plan of a munici pal burying ground.

Since the arrest of Albert Ploufee, IG, a week ago, there has been a number of crimes committed by ju veniles so daring as to cballenge the nerve of experi enced outlaws. While Ploufee faces trial for burglary and his young pal, Bert Ross lies at the point of death in the county hospital, stricken by a bullet from a policeman's revolver, at least a half dozen crimes have been committed. Police are wonder- ing if the melodramatic experience of young Plouffe has fired the other youngsters' blood. At 2 this moming William Young and (Sail Hams dell were caught while they were going through a store at 11th and Market streets. Officers Thomp son and Ellingson caught them while they were at work and brought them to the station. The boys are each 16 years old. For their first known infraction of the law, they had obtained only 10 cents when captured. Juvenile Officer Jurisch is holding them, and has not yet de- cided what to do. Young is a Taeoma boy, while Kainsdell 's parent! live in tbo valley between Seattle and Ta<oma. Another burglary that looks like the work of boys is that of the home of H. E. O'Neil, 920 South Third street. It was discovered yesterday by Katherine O'Neil, aged 9, who has been staying with the family of Arthur Gardner while O'Neil has visited the Cali fornia fairs. A revolver, clothing, pipe, tobacco and playing cards and perhaps other material were taken. O'Neil will be home tonight. Last night, too, three juveniles were arrested as members of a gang organized to steal and market auto tires here and in Seattle. They gave their names as Lawrence Lamare, James Oanton and Eftrl Cain. PRIVATE DETECTIVE RAISES TECHNICALITY Demurrers were filed today previous to the arraignments of W. W. Wingard and T. E.
