Civic reform was discussed with much
vigor at the weekly meeting of the Minis
terial alliance this morning. For an hour
and half the members expressed their
views in regard to the moral condition of
Tacoma and voiced their disapproval of
the filming system as the term is gem
orally understood.
The discussion on municipal reform arose
from the report of the special committee
which was appointed by the alliance to
interview Mayor Wright in regard to the
present moral condition of the city and
to assure him encouragement in the en-
forcement of law. Rev. John Reid of the
East Tacoma Congregational church spoke
for the committee fie stated that the
committee had called on Mayor Wright,
but that nothing definite resulted from
the meeting. He said Mayor Wright mere
ly talked about matters in general in
an informal way.
When the report had been received the
way was opened for a civic reform dis
cusson.
Rev. John OVAL spoke of the boxes in
the saloons frequented by women and
girls and urged the civic reform commit
tee of the alliance to take that matter up.
He also spoke of the necessity of electng
a county attorney who would stand firmly
for law enforcement
"Mayor Wright could not have been
elected without the vote of some of the
church people" said Rev. Edwin II. Todd,
"and if he runs an open town it will
be like slapping those people in the face.
Tacoma has been one of the best cities
on the coast, and we do not want it to be
made a cesspool for Seattle"

ST. PETERSBURG, April 25.-The
naval court martial of the captain of the
cruiser Boyarin, which was partially de-
stroyed by mine near Port Arthur on
February l3 has brought sensational facts
to light.
The testimony showed that the day be-
fore she struck the mine the Boyarin en-
gagged in a duel in the fog with another
ship off DalnY. Both were damaged The
fight was stopped and the discovery was
made that the Boyarin's opponent was a

On the latter occasion the Boyarin with
drew without attempting to save the crew
of the Yenesei.
When the Boyarin struck a mine he1
crew landed and the ship drifted out to
sea and was lost.
The captain produced a letter from the
dowager empress congratulating him on
his courage in saving the crew of his
vessel. On this account the court martial
merely withdrew permission for the cap
tain to serve in the future.

blers have recently arrived from Seattle.
Others have been here for several weeks,
lying low and waiting to see what would
be the attitude of the new administration
toward gambling.
When three touts we're arrested at the
Olympic club Friday afternoon the report
was started that 'tShreeders place had
been pulled" and that raid on every
gambling joint in the city would follow.
For while CONSERVATION reigned among
the sports, and it is said that several es-

There is much speculation as to what
