BREAKS INTO JAIL
To KEEP FROM
STARVING

Because he was cold and hun
CRY, and preferred the city jail
to walking the streets, John
Thomas last eevning deliberately
walked into the Mccormack Bros.
clothing store. picked a nice pair
of corduroy trousers from a pile
and just as deliberately walked
toward the door again He Of
fered no resistance us clerks
seized him and sent for the police
officers.
Detectives Wiley and Geary
brought Thomas to the city lock-
up, and he appeared to be per-
fectly contended, only remark

TO
HOLD BIG
MEETING
TACOMA CITIZENS OPPOSED
TO COMPULSORY VAGINA
TION WILL MEET TOMOR-
ROW.

Tacomans who object to the
present regime by which children
must either be vacinated or ex.
cluded from the schools will to-
morrow take steps to organize
a movement for repeal of TIE
present law under which school
board assumes TO act in the pres
ent crisis.
Mass Meeting Called.
A mass meeting has been called
for Union hall, 1879 Commerce
street for 3 O'Clock Sunday after
noon at which time the whole
question of vaccination will be
taken up and the present action
of the Tacoma school board re-
viewed.
The Anti-Compulsory Vaccina-
tion league is getting busy and
the movement is general all over
the state. Many citizens who are
not positively opposed to vaccina-
tion do not like the idea of the
law ordering all children to be
vaccinablS.. There is a strong
sentiment that the vaccination
problem should be left to the in
dividual to decide. Under the
present law no one is allowed tc
escape even though it may DC
shown that vaccination itself will
absolutely endanger the life OF
the child. The child must be vac
cinated or shut out from an edu-
cation according to the rule OF
the Tacoma board.
The enforcement of the rule
this week has stirred up a strong
sentiment against the whole pro-
gram and at the meeting tomor-
row plan of action will be
taken up to bring a stop to this
sort of procedure.
Some of the speakers at the
meeting will be: P. Jensen, Judge
J. A. Sproule, Guy Kelley,
and DR.. Bryant, of Seattle.

T FALLS 20
FEET
HARDWARE HANDLER TUM-
BLES DOWN AN ELEVATOR
SHAFT - BACK AND HEAD
SEVERELY HURT WILL
PROBABLY RECOVER.

With a load of iron pipes on
his shoulder, Arthur Standon, a
hardware handler, opened the
door of the elevator on the Sec
ond floor of the Washington
Hardware company's store this
morning and dropped 20 feet to
the cement basement below, strifs-
ing on his back.
In falling, Standon's head
struck against an abutment in the
shaft, and deep cash was cut in
1t.
The man had taken the elevator
to the third floor of the store.
Running down the steps on an er-
rand, he forgot that he had left
the cage above, and walked off in
to space.
A doctor was hastily called and
Standon was taken to the Fannie
Paddock hospital.
His back pains him greatly and
he is thought to have sustained
q fracture of the vertebra.
1t is believed, however, that ae
will recover.

Another one is to the effect that

10000 lives might have been
iaved.

JUDICIARY
COMING
Alaska Judges Not Sure
of Positions-Serious
y Charges Discussed
BY Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Judge
Reed of the Third Alaska divi-
sion is under serious charges, and
his removal by order of the pre'l
dent is one of the strong possibili-
ties of the near future.
Complaint was made to the
president some time ago that
Judge Reed had appointed his
brother-in-law receiver of the Al
aska Central railroad at salary
of $1,000 a month, a compensa-
tion which is regarded by the de-
partment Of justice as exorbitant
and smacking of graft.
Bonaparte Wrathy.
This and other charges against
: the judge have caused Attorney
General Bonaparte to call upon
him for an explanation, and both
the attorney general and Presi-
dent Roosevelt are in an unpleas-
ant frame of mind about the sub
ject.
The question was discussed al
a meeting of the cabinet yesterday
as we'll as other matters connect
ed with the judiciary in Alaska
Judge Gunnison of the First Di-
vision was reappointed only after
a good deal of opposition, and the
president has no expectation that
the senate will confirm the nomin-
alton for a long time, If at all.
1t is understood that a delega-
tion from Juneau, representing
the hostile sentiment of the entIre
Juneau bar, is soon to appear In
Washington, and that senators
will be asked to prevent Judge
Gunnison's confirmation.

Startling Charges
Made By Roose,Oeit

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Sena-
tor Benjamin R. Tillman of South
Carolina has been added to the
Roosevelt Annanias club. Not
only that, but he is directly
charged by the president with

chat he endeavored to use his posi-

by the government to compel cor
porations that had secured land
grants to dispose of the property

MISTAKE
Pathetic Tragedy Is En-
acted When Farmer
Takes Woman for
Robber.
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(Dy TSSo ILNoSOu
STERLING, Colo. Jan. 9.-One
of the most pathetic tragedies
that has occurred in this vicinity
in many years occurrd last night,
when Mrs. Henry Tucker, bride
of two months, was shot and in
stantly killed by Carl Tscharch,
a farmer, who mistook her for a
robber.
Henry Tucker accompanied by
his wife, went to the home OF
Tscharch to engage him to dc
some work on their farm, which
adjoins the one occupied by
Tscharch.
AS they were mounting the
step, which approach Tscharch' s
front porch, the door was sudden
ly thrown open, and Tscharch ap-
peared with large caliber re-
volver. Without warning he fired
and the bride dropped dead.
Before he had time to fire q
second time, the husband had
warned him of his awful mistake
and escaped uninjured.
Tscharch was arrested. THIS
morning he was disconsolate over
the tragedy, and is being care
fully watched to keep him from
harming himself.
The tragedy occurred at Tiff,
a small village near here.
Tscharch was known to have
kept a large sum of money IN
his house and was in great fear
of robbers.

SN OW FALL
NOW II
INCHES

There is II inches of snow on
the ground and more is coming.
The weatherman says there is
no indication of any change IN
the weather tomorrow in the gem
eral conditions. 1t may vary q
degree or two in temperature, but
it will be cold and the snow will
still be in evidence.
Citizens today noted the shift
of the wind to the south and were
beginning to figure on warm
weather. The weatherman says
this is just a little local eddy,
and that the main wind circus
in the big tent is still doing busi-
ness at the old stand.
Still Colder.
The snow record was broken
this morning for all time since the
big SHOWS the old settler tells
about back in the days before they
had weather bureaus and official
records. The temperature record
was also broken with two excep-
tions. Back in the year 1898 they
had 8 degree showing and one
in 1907, but outside of these the
thermometer got down to the low
est notch this morning when 10
touched 1877 degrees.
The hardest sonw of the whole
storm came this morning when the
big flakes began coming and q

a few minutes.
Great preparations are being
made by the younger generation

row. 1t promises to be fine.

NEW POLITICAL
SCANDAL STIRS
NATIONS CAPITAL
SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR READY TO RE-
SIsT ACCUSATION OF PRESIDENT THAT
HE WAS CONNECTED WITH BIG LAND
GRAB IN OREGON-RED HOT CONTRO-
VERSY IN PROSPECT.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 9.-United States
Senator Ben Tman announced today that he is full
ly prepared to make a detailed reply to President
Roosevet's accusation that through the efforts Of
secret service agents it learned that in his
pacty as senator he connected with an alleged
Gland grab in Oregon.
Prepared for Fray.
Tillman was apparently greatly perturbed today
while discussing the statement made public by the
chief executive. In his most fiery way he declared
he would on Monday, take the floor of the senate
and explain his every action in connection with the
land deal referred to by the president.
Serious Matter.
''It is serious matter for a president of the
United States to attack the honor of SENATOR said
Tillman in discussing the latest political scandal.
"In explaining my position in this instance, [
shall proceed slowly and give the subject the careful
consideration it deserves will show that none of
my acts unlawful shall prove to the country
that President Roosevelt has made serious mis-
take. I do not fear the outcome.
Ready to Explain.
Senator Timan does not attempt to deny the all-
thentcity of the letters that President Roosevelt
says passed between the senator and certain land
agents in Oregon. He says he will be able to ex-
plain them to the satisfaction of anybody interested
in the matter.
New Sensation.
The southern senator added sensation to
the controversy today by announcing that certain
letters that would aid him in explaining his posi-
tion had mysterously disappeared from his desk.
He does not charge anybody with taking them,
simply stating that they had disappeared.
'My secretary is reliable man. he said. "He
assures me that he placed them in a pigeonhoe in
the desk last spring and never took them out"
