HUSBAND LEARNS WIFE|HOME ROBBED IS CONVICTED SLAYER TACOMA, Aug. 2 she is the woma ‘This was the laconic comment of William H.

COLD SHOULDER TURNED ON CHILDHOOD FRIEND When they first interviewed her upon their arrival bere last night, Mrs. Stubbs turned a cold shoulder to Boring and McNew “Come, now, Maude,” said McNew, who lived across the street from Mrs Stubbs and has known her since childhood. “You know me. Why, I'd know you anywhere if I was blind folded.” Mrs, Stubbs persisted she had never seen the men before. Boring and MéNew then told Mrs. Stubbs if she would accompany them | to Knoxville, they would pay her ex- penses, and if she was not the woman wanted by the authorities there they | would pay her expenses back and give her $2,000 for her trouble, This proposition she turned down, partly at the request of the husband, it is said, who wanted the $2,000 raised.

To discuss it as anything less is to insult the intelligence of the directing minds. Here we have a courthouse ring which has controlled this important transpor- tation system for several years. Its mem- bers have fixed its rates, dictated its ex- penditures, used it as their plaything. In its operation they have bled the public treasury for a LOSS over all fares collected of $1,000 a day! Of late, they have glorified in this loss, advertised it, shouted it from the house- tops, magnified it, petted it, predicted it would grow. And now, with the public naturally alarmed over the mounting deficit, they come forth with their slick plan: “Give us the whole system for 10 years as private property and Lake Washington for our own and $75,- 000 or $150,000 a year bonus on top of that and we'll run the ferries.” One of two conclusions must be deduced: (1) Either King county is now besought to enter into this bargain by a gang of complete incompetents, so proved by their own figures on their own record, or-- (2) The cards have all been marked by a band of clever manipulators for a big killing to come.
