Tacoma, May 3.-Unrest and, dis.
satisfaction with the administration,
of President B. II. Kroeze of Whit
worth college, for several months,
manifested Itself in startling form
today when President Kroeze was
hanged in effigy from the flagstaff
on the cupola of Mason library.
Friday night a huge sign was post
ed at Stevens street at the side o.
the library, reading: Drink to one
who is not man enough to resign, b.
II. KroeZe."
Hostility against Kroeze is of long
standing, and dissatisfaction with his
methods of discipline resulted in a
petition being presented to the board
of trustees at the last meeting asking
that Dean Mckay be given part of
the power now attached to the pres
ident. Members of the faculty con-
fess they are in the dark as to what
will be done by the board.
The placard was readable for blocks
bearing the name, "B. H. Kroeze" at

pended last night was ordered taken

MEN UNDER ARREST
PROVE EX-CONWCTS

Two of the three men recently ar
rested by Sheriff Taylor and Deputy
Sheriff Wilson for the Weston safe
blowing and store burning, are we'll
known bank robbers who recently
served long terms in the oregon PEN
itentiary. Their names are j. A.
Crossley and Eli Dunn, the two men
who were sent up for five years each
for robbing the bank at Lebanon,
oregon, Feb. 5, 1905. James F. King
sley, who was associated with them in
that crime made his getaway and
has never been taken.
These two men were arrested in
Portland by Sheriff Tom Word, few
days after the robbery and when tried
and convicted We're sent up for five
years. Through good behavior their
time was cut down and they were re-
leased from the Salem prison a few
months ago. The Weston affair was
evidently the first crime attempted
since their release.
The boy who was with them has not
yet been identified, but he is believed
TO be nothing worse than a common
tramp, though 1t is quite probable
that he has done time in some reform
school. His identity has not been es-
tablished.

Arrest, prosecution, conviction and
Imprisonment followed fast for Frank
| Parr and James Myers when Chief Of
Police Gurdane took their trial on
the charge of selling liquor to In
dams and in violation of the local op-
ton law. In securing convictions
against these men the Chief of police
showed that he is somewhat of a
sleuth himself.
When Ti-co-ni explained in police
court Saturday morning that he had
secured his booze "at the show" the
chief Immediately got busy. Ti-co-ni
was taken to the carnival grounds,
but despite his assertions to the con-
trary he was unable or unwilling to
point out the man from whom he had
secured the firewater. Later in the
day. however, Bill La Rock, another
Indian, was picked up and he quick
ly pointed out Myers as the man who
had not only supplied him, but had
! also disposed of the fiery liquid to
Ti-co-ni.
On the evidence of these two In
dians Myers was arraigned in the po-
lice court, tried ana convicted. He
was fined $50 or % days and in de-
fault of the money he took the jail
sentence.
Frank Parr was also arraigned on
the charge of selling liquor to In
dams, the witnesses being Anderson
Sh!ptour and Frank Johnson. both
minors. He was arraigned on two
charges, that of selling liquor in vi
olation of the prohibition ordinance
and that of selling liquor TO Indians.
The first charge was dismissed for
the reason there was some doubt as
to the intoxicating ability of the bev-
erage. On the second count he was
tried, found guilty and sentenced to
pay fine of s25, in default of which
he will serve twelve days in paid.
When the city gets through with
these men there may be further trou-
bue in store for them. Parr is subject
to arrest on the charge of selling IL
quor to a minor and also of selling
liquor in defiance of the local option
law, while both men will be subject
to arrest for selling liquor without a
license.
A third man will probably be ar
rested before night. He is accused
of having sold two pints of whiskey
to Isadore Whtebull, and his arrest
will follow the securing of corrobora-
tive testimony
a. E. McFatridge was present at
The trial this morning and informed
the Indians who had been drunk that
hereafter they need not expect TO re-
ceive any money from their lands
through him except just as they abso-
utely needed it for the purchase of
he necessities of life. The govern
nent gives him the power to black
list drunken Indians and he has start
ID his list.
