TACOMA, Dec. 10.-'I am willing

Williams suddenly entered the Bloom
place when no one but Bloom was in.
With thousands of Christmas shop

INSURGENTS FRAME
UP PLAN OF ACTION
Hold Secret Conference and Discuss
Ways and Means of Furthering
the Fight on Speaker
Cannon

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. IL
Nineteen ''insurgent" republican
congressman met tonight in the room
of Representative Hubbard of Iowa
and for three hours discussed ways
and means of forwarding the fight
begun at the extra session on chang
ing the house rules. The partici-
pants refused to admit that any other
question had been considered
Representative Hayes of California
was chairman and Representative
Nelson Of Wisconsin, was secretary.
The net result was the appointment
of two committees of five each. One
committee was to map out plan of
action regarding further procedure
and presumably to sound out the
democratic minority on a joint pro-
gram, and the other was to take
care of publicity. The following
members We're present, according to
the list furnished by Chairman Hay
es: Gronna of North Dakota, Hau-
gen, Hubbard, Pickett, Woods and
Kendall of Iowa, Hayes of California,
Hinshaw and Nelson Of Nebraska,
Madisonand Murdoch of Kansas,
Poindexter of Washington, Lindberg
of Minnesota, Lowering of Massa-
chusetts and Carey, Lenrott, Cooper
and Nelson of Wisconsin. 1t was
stated that letters were received
from several others, including David
of Minnesota, Gardner of Massa-
chusetts, Walstead Of Minnesota and
Fowler of New Jersey.
1t was insisted that the attend
ance did not represent the full
strength of the "insurgent" republi-
can movement. Representative Hayes
said if a vote We're taken today in
the house to amend the rules, so
republican votes could be mustered.
''The movement among the repub-
lican congressman to amend the
rules" he said, ''is on the increase
and has been since last session.
Every member at tonights meeting
reported the people Of his district
practically unanimous in their sup
port of their numbers in this matter.
1T should be understood that we
are aiming only at the amending OF
the house rules. Upon the various
other propositions where the mem
bers have been classed as 'insur-
gents the views of all of us vary. But
we are unanimous to the last man
on this proposition.

WILL AID SWITCHMEN
The American Federation of Labor
Will SUPPORT Railroad
Strikers

CINCINNATI, O., Dec. 11.-The
American Federation of Labor will
support the railroad switchmen on
strike in the Northwest to the ex-
tent of its powers.
This announcement was made to-
day by Samuel Gompers, president of
the federation, after an extended
conference with Frank Hawley,
president of the North American
Switchmen's Union. 1t is taken to
mean that if railroad officials do not
cOncede the demands of the strik-
ers trouble may be spread until it
involves other great labor organiza-
tions in the railway field.
eve will support the switchmen
both financially and morally"
Such was the declaration of Mr.
GOmpers at the close of his confer
ence with Mr. Hawley. The labor
leader refused to state whether this
meant an extension of the strike,
but he asserted that, after full in
vestigation, he was satisfied that the
demands of the strikers were just and
that they merited and would receive
support of all unions.
MT. HaWley was JuDllant over the
decision of Mr.. Gompers. He ridi-
culed published assertion of railroad
officials that the strike was practical
ly ended, and said:
They cannot beat us, now that
the Federation of Labor is behind
US"
According to Mr.. Hawley short
age in the coal supply in the North
west is imminent on account of the
strike. He said such a shortage al
ready was apparent in Minneapolis,
where, he said public schools are
suffering from a lack of fuel.
Il am sorry" said the switch
mems chief, that a tie-up in busi
ness must result, but when we are
fighting for our rights we cannot af-
ford to consider these things

NICARAGUA TROUBLE
The CRUISER TACOMA is Ord.
Erred TO BLUEFIELDS.
One Hundred and Fifty Americans in
NiCaraguan Town to Be Protected /.
Transport Prairie Is FIOaied and
Will Proceed TO Colon with 700
Marines,

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. IL
Disquieting news was received from
Nicaragua by the state department
today that there was danger of an
attack by Zelayas S forces being made
on Bluefields, where $50 Americans
are known to be, resulted in orders
being sent by wireless to the cruis-
er to proceed under full steam to
Bluefields, there to join the Des
Moines and await further orders.
The transport Prairie, which was
f1oated in the Delaware river today,
has been ordered to take on board
700 marines and steam as soon as
possible to Colon.
The Importance of these orders is
minimized at the state department,
where it is said the Tacoma has been
instructed to look out for American
interests at Bluefieds.
While the destination of the trans
port Prairie is Colon, she is equipped
with wireles, and could be ordered
to another destination at any mo-
meni.
When the 700 marines aboard the
transport Dixie arrive at Colon they
will find awaiting them orders to
proceed Immediately to Panama and
will be transshipped by the transport
Buffalo. This seems to indicate some
movement of consequence on the Pa
cific coast of Nicaragua, presumably
in an attempt to follow out the Ray
ner resolution and deal with Zelaya
as a common murderer.
Movements today in the Nicar-
aguan situation are believed to have
something to do with the statement
given cut at Managua last night by
Zelaya in which he declared that
though condemned unheard. he was
powerless against the United States
and would be forced to quit his
office.

led by Tacoma and Locals

In the debate last Friday evening
in the Presbyterian church between
the Tacoma High school and the To-
cal school, the decision of the judges
was unanimously in favor of the Alb
erdeen team.
"Resolved-Thatt the cities of the
Northwest containing $4,000 inhabi-
tants or over, should institute a COM
mission form of government, medeled
after the Des Moines Plan" was the
question to be debated. Tacoma took
the affirmative, and Aberdeen the
negative. Those representing Taco

Harry Morissetts; Aberdeen being
represented by Frederick Hart, Rus
sci Mack and Alanson w. Hart. The
Judges were, State Librarian Hit, F.

Never in the history of our schools
has there been so well prepared work
for public review as that given on
Friday evening. The matter present
ed showed that labor and research
had been bestowed upon it, and its
delivery was clear and concise. Both
teams did well, but Aberdeen out
ranked Tacoma both in matter and
delivery.
The program of the evening in

sic, furnished by the schools. Accord
ing to the rules, the losing team
drops out of the contest, and the WIN
ners will take the opposite side OF

acted as chairman. invited both
teams to a spread at the Washington.

NOT UNLAWFUL TO HAVE
CIGARETTES IN POSSESSION

WENATCHEE, Dec. 12.-The case
of the state versus Bethel, who was
charged with having cigarettes in
his possession, was dismissed this
morning in the superior court by
Judge Grimshaw. The court held
that to charge a man with having
cigarettes in his possession, without
also pleading that it was unlawful, is
not sufficient in the eyes of the law.
Though the question was one OF
pleading, Judge Grimshaw stated
that is was mo crime for a man to
have cigarettes in his possession so
long as it was not for the purpose of
selling or giving away. The mat
ter narrows itself down to one of per-
sonal rights"

body, but particularly by the socialists
who are always tearing down but offer
no help for the amelioration of the hard

that must be quoted:
Men of brains never had a better
chance than now TO accomplish all that
it is desirable that they should accom-
plish, and men of no brains never did
have much of a chance. nor under any
possible conditions can have in this

the only proponents
Bierce never minces his words. What
he has to say is said straight from the

writing is always just. In a note he
says that he had hoped to have these

they were arranged too late. so have
