SEATTLE. Wash.. March 15. (Spe
cial.) Mayor Hugh M. Caldwell Indi
cated clearly today by summarily
removing Thomas F. Murphine as
superintendent of public utilities.
placing Assistant Superintendent
O'Brien temporarily in charge and an
nouncing intention to seek co-operation
of the city council in a reor
ganization of the public utilities de
partment that Seattle's municipal
street railway system will be the
principal object of his attention
during the early days of his admin
istration. He took office at noon to
day. Mr. Murphines resignation stated
to take effect when his successor
should b appointed and qualified,
was handed to Mayor KitzRerald
shortly before noon and was prompt
ly accepted by the retiring mayor.
' "Not soon enough," was the mayor's
terse remark.
As soon as he could find time in
the busy houu following his inau
guration, the mayor called a stenog
raphed and dictated a letter to Mur
phine. formally removing that official
from office, effective at once. He
also wrote Mr. O'Brien, assistant su
perintendent, directins: him to take
charge of the department and indi
cating a desire to have D. W. Hender
son, superintendent of transportation
of the street railway system, placed
in charge of operation of the car
lines. Both appointment, he made
plain, are to be regarded as tem
porary. pending reorganization of the
department.
Reorganization Is IMnnned.
Later In the afternoon the mayor
ummoned Mr. O'Brien and .Mr. Hen
derson to his office and there con
ferred with them for an hour. At j
this conference, it is understood, the I
rnayor gave general directions lor me
ooeration of the railway system until
plans which he hopes to work out
with the assistance of the city council
can be put into effect.
These plans contemplate legislation
whereby the street railway depart
ment will be placed in charge of a
eeneral superintendent, who will be
nominally under the superintendent of
public utilities, but who will directly
ha responsible to the mayor. Under
the present system the superintend
ent of public utilities is also general
superintendent of the street railway
system. Mr. Caldwell indicated that
he expected to confer with members
of the council in the next few days
and expressed confidence that, with
their co-operation, the desired changes
in the street railway department can
be accomplished by the passage of
ordinances. i
In his order of removal to Super
intendent Murphine. the mayor siJd:
"On taking ofrh-e I find that you
( file your resignation with Mayor
Fitzgerald this morning and the same
was accepted by him just before he
relinquished his duties as mayor.
"Your resignation specifies that it
Is to take effect as soon as your
successor can be appointed and
qualify.
Removnl la Ordered.
"J desire to take steps immediately
to reorganize the public utilities de-
partment and thi.. in my opinion, will
not be facilitated by your continuing
in office as superintendent of public
utilities. Had you waited a few hours
and filed your resignation. with nie. it
could have been in such form as
would have relieved me of the neces
sity of removing you from office. As
it Is, in carrying out my plan, it be
comes necessary to remove you as
superintendent of public utilities and
I do now. therefore, remove you as
superintendent of pifblic utilities, ef
fective this date.
"I am this day filing with the city
council a copy of this letter contain
ing my reasons for your removal."

What the cinema has done to pile
up. heaps of money for authors, play
wrights and various other people Is
illustrated by the remarkable history
of "Forty-five Minutes From Broad
way." which Charles Ray is about to
turn into a motion picture. With
the fruition of that operation no less
than five separate fortunes will have
been made by this historic comedy
drama. First, the author. George M. Cohan,
made more than $100,000 in the first
nine months of the play at the New
Amsterdam theater in New York, and
probab.y as much more on the road
with it.
1 Second, the play has made another
fortune for Cohan since its release
for use by stock companies.
Third. Ray Maid Cohan S.1U.O00 cash
for the picture rights, which a lot
-if peoule resarfl as a tidy fortune.
Fourth, Ray will make a neat for
tune for himself by filming and sell
ing it.
Fifth, the First National Exhibitors'

haps the biggest fortune of the five
in its theaters.

Crushed to Flavor One Jiffy-Jell Dessert
Here is one example of the wealth of fruit
in Jiffy-Jell desserts.
We crush pineapples in Hawaii fruit too
ripe to ship. The juice of half a fruit is con
densed and sealed in a vial to flavor one pint
dessert.
Yet the whole dessert costs but a few cents,
ready at your call.
So with eight rich fruits which come in Jiffy
Jell. All are made from crushed fruit, all are
abundant. All come in liquid form, condensed
and sealed in glass a bottle in each package.
Real-fruit flavors in bottles
Mark this Jiffy-Jell distinction. Note how it
differs from old-style quick gelatine desserts.
Jiffy-Jell alone . has these bottled fruit-juice
essences.
Jiffy-Jell desserts are fruit-made dainties,
rich in fruit. The fruit taste is not mere flavor
and not artificial.
People need fruit daily. Now, when fruit is
costly, this is an ideal way to serve it.
Complete desserts
Jiffy-Jell comes ready-sweetened. It is acid
ulated with evaporated fruit acid. A rare
grade gelatine is in it, and the fruit-juice es
sence in a vial.
You simply add hot water as directed on
package, and let cool. Then a package of Jiffy
Jell serves six people in mold form, or twelve
if you whip the jell.
Yet this fruit-made, dainty, rich in fruit, costs
a trifle. It costs less than serving apples.
