FROM
SMOKE AND HEAT

Although no forest fires are re-
ported in Pierce county dense
clouds of smoke are sweeping
over the city and it is presumed
that heavy fires are raging in Che
woods In Nortern Washington
and British Columbia. 6ae
The thermometer reached 70
degrees above at o'clock yestre-
day Afternoon, about degrees low
er than the hottest day of 1.-THE
year. Owing to the smoke and
the fact that there was practically
no breeze considerable discomfort
was experienced by those who hal
to get out in the sun. The heat
wave was still lowering over the
city today, with every indication
that the mercury would go even
higher yesterday.
WeatL NAbserver Cover had M
cheering information to give out
today and declin ed to hold out any
promises of rain in the near flu
ture.

FIRE ESCAPE
LIKE ELEVATOR

Gus e. Meter, a Portland man,
is exhibiting an automatic fire es-
cape at fire department headquar-
tiers, which he is endeavoring tc
place on some Tacoma building. 1t
is in the nature of an elevator. AS
soon as fire is discovered In g
building the escape is started and
while carrying occupants to safet,
throuh we'll, firemen and hose
may ride on the moving ladder tc
any floor best suited for fighting
the flames. The inventor expects
to have his apparatus installed in
one or two buildings in each city
in the PaSSic Northwest within
short time.

BUSINESS MEN
FAIL TO AID
IN WORK

Secretary Sommers of the
Chamber of Commerce has been
trying with little success for some
time to gather statistics and in
formation that will be valuable in
getting business for this city and
had hoped to be able to present
mater to the Japanese visi-
tors that would lead to new bust
ness relations with Tacoma manu-
facturers and jobbers.
For several days he has been
soliciting catalogues and price
lists of all Tacoma firms doing ex-
port business, but many dealers
have neglected to cooperate in
the work with any enthusiasm.
The secretary also has been AZ
work for weeks gathering data
concerning manufacturing plants
here, the product, number of en-
ployes and amount of manufac-
tured goods, but out of 500 let
tiers sent out only about 200 have
co-operated and furnished the in
formation.
The work of the chamber is
thus seriously handicapped and
Tacoma business men who expect
to keep in the race with the hus-
tiers of other cities will have to
brace up and at least furnish the
information desired by the Cham
Der of Commerce If the organiza-
ton Is to be the greatest service
in keeping Tacoma in the contest
for trade with other cities in this
section.

the track so that he might COM
municate them to Seattle pool
rooms.
Failing to accomplish his plans,
Moon says he stationed a partner
named Plummer at the race track
with instructions to telephone the
results of the races to Vancouver.
Plummer was detected In carry
ing out his instructions and. 1t IS
alleged, was badly beaten up by
the detective operatives. Moon
then was summoned to the de-
tective agency, he claims, and
was likewise roughly handled.
The telegraphers were ordered
out of teh city, but instead of leav-
ing, they laid their case before
the American consul and will
prosecute the detective organiza-
ton.

at loss to know how to decide
their bets, for if the newspapers
disagreed on the decision they had
no way of determining the win

been swept away by Referee
Smith today agreeing to give his
private opinion on the outcome of
the fight, and on this all bets will
be paid.
Plenty of money is being placed
today at odds of to 1 that the
