By Edward Lounsbury.
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

Miss Alice Joyce, Portland BChool feacher, who
methods la Europe.
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.

atives of the couple.
"We Just decided we couldn t wait
any longer," said the bride alter the
ceremony, "so we were married.

Patient's Husband
Had to Pay Anyway
Physician Operated for Appendicitis
and found Kemoval Unnecessary,
Poor Diagnosis Alleged by Victim.
Paris, June 13. 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."
