COOPER CASE
Attorney DenOunces the
Governor and Brands
Colonel Cooper AS
a Gambler

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 3.
-Denouncing Governor Patter-
son of Tennessee in bitter invec-
tive, Captain Fitzhugh ON behalf
of the state i'm the trial Of Colonel
Duncan Cooper, Robin Cooper and
John ID. Sharpe, charged with the
murder of Senator Il. w. Car
mack, began his summing up to-
day.
So fiery and bitter were the
words of the attorney for the
prosecution that friends of Gov
ernor Patterson talked openly OF
a renewal of political hostilities
and declared that trouble might
be expected as a result of the de-
nunciation.
Leading on from Governor Pat
terson to Colonel Pooper, Fitz-
hugh characterized the colonel as
a "high priced gambler, a man
who plays for high stakes and
never applies his winnings to hon.
est debts. An embezzler of the
funds of widows and orphans COM
mitted to his care in public office
and a man whose sole occupation
for years has been the playing OF
politics for all he could get out
of it."
Colonel Cooper flushed red as
the prosecutor began his attack
and then turned deathly pale.
His son Robin, who did the shoot
ing, half started from his chair
but was restrained by his counsel
before he could make any further
move. Sharpe, formerly sheriff,
sat immovable in his chair and
appeared not to hear the denun-
ciation.

boy to whom Mabel gave the in
formation resented the act, and
reported to the teacher, who asked
the girl to apologize to the boy for

according to Stutsman. refused
and made insulting remarks, and
after giving her abundant time
to apologize the teacher whipped
her with the switch.
Although warrant had been
sworn to by Thomas Long, father
of the girl, Stutsman appeared at

SHALL TACOMA PAY
HER OUTLAWEO
DEBTS?

The people will get chance at
the coming spring election to say
whether or not they want to pay
up q lot of bad debts.
There are $4,000 Of old out
lawed warrants on the books,
scattered around in the hands OF
various people. They have been
drawing interest for II years, so
the bill is about three times that
amount now, The warrants were
issued to pay street assessments
that were not liQuidated by the
property owners and when the
money did not come in on the
assessments there was nothing to
pay the warrants. Later the
whole thing became outlawed.

ExCU RSIONIST.S
DO GOOD JOB
OF BOOSTING

That big excursion from Puget
Sound to boost the exposition in
California came pretty near being
a Tacoma affair. After a great
splurge Seattle fell down and Ia
coma had more people on the
train than the King county metro
polls. And they made their pres
ence felt all along the line.
Under the leadership of Ernest
Lister, who was chief booster, Ia
coma made a great showing to
the people according to DR.. e. l..
Carlson, who is first of the party
to return. He left the rest still
enthusing people about Tacoma
away down at San Diego.
DR.. Carlsen says Californians
are coming to the fair and many
will make Tacoma their headQuar-
ters.
