Seattle, Wash., June 18. Municipal street rail way promoters have pit the rocks In this city. As the matter standi, the city .has Its own con structed line of about three miles, known as di vision A, and the Lake Burlen line of about nine miles, a gift to the city from the builders, the prdperty holders along the route. Division A starts three blocks north of Pike street and ends on the south aide of the Iake Washington canal south of the Ballard district. From the down town terminal of dlvisioi A to the city terminal of the Lake Burlen line there Is a gap of three miles. To physically connect these two lines the city needed the Seattle, Renton & Southern railway which Is In the hands of receivers, ! The receivers wanted $1,000,000 for the property. The city couldn't see a trade for that sum. Three years of Jockeying has failed of an agree ment, and now the last proposition that the city take over the property and make payment on the basis of 26 per cent of the gross receipts for 25 years has been refused, and the city is going ahead with the long projected street improvements in the valley through which the line operates and with preparations for parallel lng It. Would Hold Receivers Uable. Scott Calhoun, one of the receivers told the city council that the road was. operating on a basis of 68 per cent of the Income, but the Invest! gators seeking .verification of these figures reported that to operate th line would take 90 per cent of the receipts, and aU negotiations were de clared closed. Now comes Receiver Calhoun with the announcement tha the company has filed with the public service commission a request for an advance In fares, making a double fare .from its uptown terminal to the city J limits', explaining that the stockhold ers will hold the receivers liable fo profits lost due to failure to enforc rates charged before the property went into the hands of receivers. The city proposes to oppose this tariff before' the public service com mission, tl will ask the commission to provide for the exchange of trans fers between the municipal .and th private lines; It will ask the federal court to modify an old Injunction that the city may physically "connect Us division A with the Renton tracks so as to run the municipal cars down town to the railroad stations. There are several other legal tangiements to b unraveled, and more, likely to come, if the Renton receivers keep their promise to make trouble at every step the city takes to fill the gap between its two railroads that now be gin nowhere and, end nowhere In the view of those who are patrons of the routes. School Wursing Proposed. An unusual petition was filed this week with the board of school direc tors. It asks as an experiment that In the new addition to a grade school now building that a night and day nursery be opened for the instruction of girls In tha care of babies undet the supervision of trained physician and nurses. Among the signers are Henry Landes, acting president of the University of Washington, and reveral members of the faculty, women who arc prominent In social work and Chief of Police Austin E. Griffiths, whose wife Is president of the Mothers' Con gress. Tha port commission has about com pleted plans for a five story cold storage warehouse to cost $500,000, to be built primarily for the . storage of apples for the export tiiade. The commission has voted to award a con tract for a five story concrete ware bouse at the central pier building. Complains - About Auto Cop. Chief of Police Griffiths" "special auto speed cope came under public notice this week, one of them being charged by Dr. A. J; Ghigllone, the Italian consular agent, with having fired a shot Into his car. This force . of special policemen numbers 23, and Is made up of automobile dealers and business, men who drive cars and who volunteered, at the chief's suggestion to cooperate with the regular police In minimising speeding. Among them are Norman B. Abrams, president, and Frank M. Fretwell, secretary of the Automobile club; A, Warren Gould, a prominent arcnitect; t. s. Llppy, a millionaire capitalist, and O. B. Wil liams, the sash and door manufactuer. Dr. GhigllOne was returning from a call on a patient in the university district Tuesday night, when he says a man In a car commanded him to top. The physician paid no heed to the order, and he says the special cop, as he now' supposes him to have been. tried to crowd him against th curb. Dr. Ghigllone thought he had an auto highwayman at his heels and speeded hl car, the other fellow firing a shot The next day the doctor discovered that the bullet hit a stay in tha top of the car. He told the police ha be lieved the driver was one of the apeed cops. ' . Two Surptiae Weddings.

Is studying school That Germany looks upon her school system as one of her wisest Invest ments and in no sense as a burden, is the declaration of Miss Alive V. Joyce, a Portland teacher who is one of a party of American educators studying the school systems of Europe, especial ly the trade schools of Munich. Miss Joyce has written- Portland friends some of her impressions in Munich, where the party was entertained. Miss Joyce writes: "The! American industrial teachers who are studying the schools of Munich were entertained at an lnfor lnal dinner by Krau Einberger, "graf liche Wlrtschafterin," at her pension, 108 Leopold street, on May 8.. "The American consul-general and his wife. Mr. and Mrs. John Gaffney, honored the gathering with their presence and expressed the great pleasure of Mrs. Gaffney and himself on finding themselves in the presence of so many of their countrymen. He was far from belleveing that every thing in Germany was good and every thing at home bad, but he did believe that the teachers would be able to learn a great deal on this trip. "They would among other things, be able td study and admire the excel lent municipal government of German towns. ! which was largely the outcome of the I wonderful self restraint of the German citizen, a quality often sadly lacking in municipal life in the United States.; He hoped the teachers would take many bright impressions home with them and that their sojourn in Munich would prove fruitful in re. suits. Prof, L. L. Summers said tnat as teachers representing the United States i commissioners of education, they esteemed it a great honor to entertain at this dinner party their American and English friends. They were here studying the schools of Bavaria, and especially of Munich not because the schools of Germany were all good and their own schools all bad, but because certain phases of German education were very much in advance of their American schools of a similar character and the systematic study of these schools would be of great importance to industrial educa tion In the United States. "The superiority of the German schools as he saw them was owing to their direct application to the needs of the whole people. It waa as true to day as it had ever been that a very large percentage of our people must engage in some phase of the world' work and to do this with efficiency, systematic training' was necessary. Germany had realized this half a cen tury or more ago and had provided schools which had made the "Germans the most efficient workmen in the entire world. The Germans looked upon these schools, not as a burden. but as one of their wisest investments, and they now found 'made in Germany' stamped on products for sale In all the markets of the civilized world..,- "A noticeable characteristic which they must attribute . to the German school system is the lack' of loafer boys whom they saw everywhere in their American cities. The German boys were all at work or attending the con tinuation schools. At the close of this apprentice period they had formed the habit of both work and its related study, and as a result both the loafer and the criminal were practically elim inated. "The money spent in the United States in protecting society from this class and the poverty, sickness, un- happlness and Insanity which were the direct results, would go a long way in providing Just such schools as those which Germany found so profitable. "Several members of the party ex pressed their appreciation of the cour tesy shown the American teachers in being permitted to. visit the schools of Munich, also how the effect of the efficiency of the German teachers was the underlying power of training their German students for citizenship. ding Is a surprise to friends and rel atives of the couple.

Ought one to pay full price for an operation for ap pendicitis, ir the appendix Is un touched, is the Interesting point ' of medical law raised this week in the French courts, when Dr. Kegnler, a member of the Academy' of Medi cine, sued M. Pllsson, a Paris mer chant, for $600 for the treatment of M. Plisson's wife. M. Plisson offered $100, asserting that the doctor made an error In dl a gnosis, for when the operation began the patient was suffering only from simple abscess, and consequently the appendix was left undisturbed. A Ju dicial Solomon decided thus: You admit your willingness to pay, bad the extraction of the ap pendix been necessary. You ought to be thankful ' that it was not: so you must pay the full $600, .because your wife was cured."
