RENTERS ARE BECOMING HOME OWNERS

What is considered as evidence of a
condition that promises much for the
future growth and stability of Ia
coma is found in the reports of the
building inspector For the week
ending August 26 sixteen residence
permits were issued, the average
amount named in the permits being
about $1,000. In nearly everv case
the permits We're taken out by people
OF moderate means who desire to own
thelr homes and expect to be per-
manent residents of Tacoma.
The building is not being confined
TO any particular section of the city
and the new homes are seen spring
ing up in all parts of the town. Prob
ably the largest number of new
houses are being built north Of Di-
vision avenue. Many new houses are
also going up in the East Side and

dub" MUNROE EASY FOR
The CHAMPION

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27.--Jack
Mnnroe, the much-talked-of Butte
miner, went down and out before
Champion Jeffries in the second
round of their scheduled 20-round
fight here last night Munroe was
shown up as a dub among dubs dur
ing the four minutes and a half that
he staggered and tumbled around the
ring before the terrific jabs landed
by the champion
Down in First Round.
In the first round the miner was
sent TO the mat twice. the last time
for the count. Jeffries sent his most
damaging blows to the miners stom-
Rch, following each with jab on the
jaw, which soon brought the blood
from his opponents mouth.
Never Touched JEFF.
AS the gong sounded for the sec
ond round the men came together
and the champion resumed his bonn
bardment. Munroe in the meantime
was clawing the air, and not once
did he land on the champion. Jeffries

BIGGEST TURBINE
VESSEL AFLOAT

BELFAST, Aug. 27.-The Allan
line steamer Victorian, launched here
recently, is the largest turbine vessel
ever built. She is $40 feet long, has
GO feet beam and her depth Is 40 feet
6 Inches.
The Victorian is to be fitted in n
most luxurious manner and Is to
carry 1900 passengers, but the chief
interest in her lies in her propelling
power. Turbine steamers on the
Clyde and in cross channel service
have proved very successful, mainly
because they have afforded more com
fort TO passengers, but considerable
notifications had to be devised to
meet the requirements of the Atlantic
service, including enormous pro-
polling power and great stopping,
backing and steering power. These
difficulties are understood to have
been overcome by Charles A. Parsons
the engineer who has developed the
steam turbine and made It suitable
for the generation of electricity and
the propulsion of mercantile and war
vessels.
A special arrangement has been

After the fight, Jeffries said:

the section south of Eleventh street
is also enjoying a building boom.
Aside from the natural desire of
Tacoma people to own their homes,
the two causes which are said to be
largely responsible for the present
building boom are the low price of
lumber and the reasonable terms on
which desirable building lots can be
secured here. In all parts of the
city building lots can be purchased
for from $50 to $500 each and lum-
Der is cheaper now than it has been
for years
Real estate men report that the
demand for reasonably priced build
ing lots has shown very satisfactory
increase during the past month.
There is also a healthy demand for
all other kinds of property, especially
by non-residents who are looking for
good investments.

pellers are three in number, each on

Victorian will be fitted with a wire

1900 and she is expected to devel-
op about 10000 horsepower.

THAW MARRIAGE 4 BLOW.
PittsburE Family Upset Over the Young
Mans Chorus Girl Bride.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct. 23.-After spending
almost 81 600 900 in order to see that Harry
X. Thaw didn't marry without the consent
OF his family, the news from London that
the lively young heir to many millions
has married Evalyn Nesbit, the former
Pittsburg chorus girl and art model, is a
bitter blow to the Thaws of Pttsburg, where
every member of the family Is worth few
millions.
There was feeling of disappointment up
and down the Ohio Valley to-day. where the
Thaws are we'll known. Harry Thaw in the
last few years has startled both sides OF the
Atlantic by his feats of spending money. The
Thaws in Pittsburg are religious, and when
a reporter this afternoon sought an inter
view with Mrs. Thaw regarding the marriage
OF Harry to the former flower girl in "The
Toreador,' he was met with the reply that
she did not care to hold converse with any
one who worked on the Lords day. She
had lust returned from church and would
not answer questions.
That it took Harry Thaw so long to get
married is the only wonder in Pittsburg to-
day From the time the boy passed IA he
was guarded by male companions whose
only instructions were to keep him from evil
influences and the girls. When Harry came
to swim in the Pittsburg natatorium he
was accompanied even into the water
by one of his companions.
An explanation for the affair cabled from
London, that young Thaw and his bride
did not attend the late birthday party OF
the Earl OF Yarmouth is readily given here.
Society still remembers how the Earl Of
Yarmouth practically stood the Thaw
family off for cash when the guests were al
ready gathered at the church for the we'd
ding Of Miss Alice Thaw to the Earl. Harry
Thaw was one OF the family who wanted the
Earl sent back to England without either
the money or Alice Thaw as his wife, and
he has never forgiven the Earl for this
move

WANT SCHOOLS NEARER HOME.
Transportation TO West Side Schools
Doesn't Satisfy the East Side.

The Fast Side Civic Club held IA mass
meeting at the Educational Alliance last
night to protest against the recent action
of the Board of Education providing for
the daily transportation Of Fast Side school
children to schools on the upper West Side.
Gregorj. Weinstein, p resident OF the club,
presided. The speakers were: DR.. David
Blaustein superintendent of the Educa
tional Alliance, Rabbi Adolph Radin.
Edward King, the Rev. DR.. W. NJ. Donahue
and Charles B. Slower.
The speakers detailed at length the dan
gers to which the 500 East Side children
would be exposed II they were obliged
to attend the West Side schools. The
Jewish children would also be unable to
attend morning prayers, they said, and
would not have time to attend the sessions
OF the Jewish schools. Several Of the
speakers declared that race riots would
be frequent and deplored the fact that
the children would be brought in contact
with the pernicious influences Of the Ten
derlon.
Resolutions were adopted recommend
ing the erection Of temporary schools under
the approach TO the Williamsburg Bridge
and in the corporation yard at Rivington
and Mangin streets. Copies will be sent
to the Mayor and the Board OF Education.

WANT US TO INTERVENE.
Philadelphia Petition to ASK Roosevelt to
Try to Stop the War.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 23.-As a result
of discussion that has been going on for
two weeks petition asking President
Roosevelt to intervene in the war between
Russia and Japan win soon be prepared
by members of the local bar. Should the
present plans eliminate, attorneys in
every other State will be enlisted in the
movement There will be meeting to
decide whether such petition would meet
with popular approval.
Several Of the local Judges, it is asserted,
have expressed their satisfaction over
the plan OF the lawyers. They say that the
Eastern situation is bee oming barbaric
and that as both nations involved are too
proud to make concessions the slaughter
of lives may go on indefinitely, Judge
Hanna OF the Orphans Court declared
to-day that to his mind there was only
one plan for civilized nations to pursue -
they should intervene between the warning
countries in the interest Of humanity.
Some OF the best known attorneys in the
city are identified with the movement
Their plan is to ask the President to use his
power to obtain a temporary cessation Of
hostilities. Then the Powers could formu-
late some plan for arbitration. 1t is agreed
generally that both nations could accept
such a treaty with proHiety.
Some time ago." said Assistant City
Solicitor John r. X. Scott. speaking of the
proposed petition to-day, President Roose-
welt declared that the Car would reject
any offer of mediation on the part Of other
nations. The situation since then, how
ever, has changed. The slaughter in Man
churia is becoming so appalling that it is
time for the entire civilized world to pro-
test. And it would be perfectly proper
for this nation TO make the first advances.
BY the time the proposed petition reaches
the President it will have names enough
to give it weight that will demand con-
.idoration
