Weston is one of the grand old

TO accomplish the wonderful

require 100 days Sundays ex-

s-10 miles an hour, 10 hours a

His pace necessitates A steps a

you aren't sure of this, try and

He's a study-this little old

ANOTHER ATTACK
ON FULTON
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, d. c., March
23.-Another protest has been
made to Attorney General Wick
ersham by Francis J. Heney, the
famous California graft prosecu-
tor, against steps looking to the
appointment of Charles w. Full
ton, former United States senator
from Oregon, to the federal bench
of that state.
The protest was handed to Mr..
Wickersham by Tracy c. Becker,
who Is here making a strong fight
against Fulton's appointment.
Later he conferred with President
Taft. When questioned today
concerning the contents of the
protest Mr.. Becker declined to dis
cuss Prosecutor Heney's latest at

AT THE GRAND

It's the one safe bet that Little
Hip" is going to own Tacoma body
and soul before he closes his en-
gagement at the Grand theater
Sunday night. OF course you
know who Hip" is! But his lit
tie stunt is of a kind that keeps
you in the Doubling Thomas state
of mind until you see him do the
things that his press agent claim
ed for him.
Little Hip" is all right. Among
his list of tricks he takes a pipe,
a real, live pipe, with real tobacco
in it, and puffs at the thing like
a miniature steam engine. And
he likes to smoke so well that. it's
all his keeper can do to make him
break away" from the pipe. At
each performance Hip hands out
the programs at the Grand foyer,
and woe to the man who tries to
PASS into the theater with his hat
on. Hip" is a stickler when 1t
comes to etiquet, and, although he
is not SO bashful but that he likes
to kiss the pretty maidens who
enter, he knows better than to
take their hats off.
Another excellent act at the
Grand is presented by the Warten-
burg brothers. These brothers
lie on their backs during their en-
tire act, tossing all manner of
things through the air with their

being knee deep, and Weston lost
18 pounds. He expects to lose
about 20 before he reaches the

All along the route men, women
