The same message contained the unconfirmed re- port that the German battleship Kaiser Wilhelm Der |Grosse had been torpedoed and sunk in the Baltic. The Hertha was a protected cruiser of 5,569 tons. It was built in 1907 and had been used as a training ship. Its armament consisted of two eight-inch, six five- inch and eight three-inch guns, 10 one-pounders and at rapid firers. It had also three torpedo tubes. ! | The Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse was built in 1901 jand reconstructed in 1907. | OUR ATTORNEY GENERAL IS | IKE manna from heaven comes Attorney General Tanner to the iT, assist of the Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power Co. The company has been having a whale of a job to keep the city light plant out of the Duwamish valley. First it tried to get an exclusive franchise from the county com- loners. Then it tried through systematic canvassing to gobbi up all possible contracts, Not successful in either attempts, it hoped | the council would not pass the necessary appropriation for the city | to make extensions into the valley. But the council not only passed the measure, but did by so large a vote that the mayor's veto would be useless. So now comes W. Vaughn Tanner, state's attorney general. Tanner, for the firet time since taking office, Is all fussed up over a bold, bad offender, and he’s actually going to start something, He's going to show this offender where to get off at. He's going right to court, le Tanner, of his own free will, and is going to make the culprit—namely, the city of Seattie—defend Itself. The city, says Tanner, has grievously violated the public utilities act In operating the Lake Burien line outside the city timits. - c, It had no business with a public utility except inside the city limits; says Tenner. ~~ eo * eae: That, of course, also means, though Tanner doesn’t say so in plain words, that the city has no right to serve electric current outside the city limits, and that, therefore, the extension plans to the Duwamish valley must fail. TANNER’S ACTIVITY IN THIS RESPECT 1S UNUSUALLY EN. THUSIASTIC.
