sturdy brave from the tepee across

cnes with her, and their trail was
old and cold before Harry started
out to find them.
Up the line a way he overhauled
the fleeing lovers, but the little
ones were gone. Another squaw
had "vamoosed" with them, and
when Harry pulled up on his foam
ing steed, Nancy was all repent

ness and besought him tearfuly to
help her find her babies.
Harry was first to the station
hence was first to arrive in Spo-
kane. His search for his erring
cousin Nancy's offspring began at
once, before the fearful mother ar
rived and took her troubles to the

babies had been kidnapped, but
never mentioned sleuthing Harry,

WHO IS PAYING YOUR
SALARY MR.. HAWLEY?

Is Councilman Hawley of South Tacoma, working
for the city or the T.. r. & company?
For several weeks it has been apparent that
Hawley was the champion of the Stone Webster in
terests and last night, at the meeting of the fran
chise committee Of the council of which he is a
member his attitude such as to seriously raise
this question in the minds of those present.
Recently the T. r. & p without.a permit from

sioner McGregor coupled up its tracks with the
Traction lines at South Tacoma The franchise COM
mittee last night ordered the connections torn out
but Hawey protested and will stand by the T. f. q
p. company !.
The committee voted to demand that the com
pany sell tickets for quarter the same as is done
in Seattle but Hawley opposed this plainly just
and reasonable rate Other members on the COM
mittee asked that conductors be required to sell
tickets, but Hawley secuted this idea. It would be
a great injustice according to Hawley to ask con-
ductors to sell tickets Is done In nearly every city

On every question that came up in which the IN

If you stand on the street and
watch a policeman patrolling his
beat it never occurs to you that
he Is covering great distances.
But like the constant dripping
that wears away the stone, the
measured steps grow into miles
each day, hundreds of miles In
the month and thousands In a
year.
If the average policeman walk
ed straight ahead he would cross
the continent in a year and get
we'll on his way on the return
trip. Unlike the motorman he
does not get over the ground at a
rapid rate, but he gets there just
the same.
Three Times Around the Earth.
If John A. Schock, who now has
a beat on c street, kept straight
ahead when he Joined the Taco
ma police force 19 years ago last
spring, he would have circled the
earth three and one-third times.
Reduced to miles he has travelled
S3,220 miles. This estimate is
baesd on the belief that patrol
man trevels about IL miles day.
There are men on the force to-
day that Joined before Schoch.
But he holds the record for con-
tinuous service. He has seen
heads of the department come and
go, but it made no difference To
him. No chief of police ever
thought of removing the "old re-
liable" John Schock
Makes Few Arrests.
Schock did not gain his reputa-
tion by making arrests. But he
is not slow to act when the neces-
sity arises. A man may be drunk
and disorderly and just aching to
lick his weight in wildcats" when
Schock appears, quietly speaks to
the boisterous one and all desire
for fight has vanished. Other
of the force wonder how
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-08-20

he does it-so do the men he has
cowed. Schock says nothing.
The number of times that he
has reported to the central sta
tion since he went to work will
run over $4,000, including calls
for the wagon.
Begun Under Zwickey.
Schock went to work under
Chief Zwickey in 1890. Since
then he has served under Chiefs
Ellis, Davis, D. o. Smith, Hogan,
Jesse Read, Fackler, Maloney and
Duley. In all that time he has
been away from his work SO days.
He has had three vacations of
10 days each and was sick six days.
He was entitled to more vacations,
but he never asked for them. He
rather likes his work and is will
ing to let the other fellows take
the vacations. In all the time ne
has served he has never been cup
on the carpet"
without an Enemy"
Schock is known as "the man
without an enemy" He attends
strictly to his own affairs and can
not be drawn into quarrels, or po-
litical arguments. He is a native
of Germany and before coming 70
this country he served in the Ger
man army. He is modest about
telling his age-but, anyhow, he
dosen't look 1t. He resides at
2712 South Tacoma avenue, In his
own home, with his wife. His
sons and daughters have all grown
up and married and all are re-
spected citizens.
Other Veterans on the Force.
There are a number OF veterans
on the Tacoma police force. Ser
geant L. B. Mccoy and Captain of
Detectives Fitzgerald were patrol
men before Schock donned a uni
form. But changes in admins
tration did not deal so kindly with
them as with Schock and they
have been In private life a part of
the time. Fitzgerald was out dur
ing the Orr administration. when
D. o. Smith was chief, and Mccoy
retired during the administration
Of George p. Wright. Others who
have seen long service in the de-
partment' are Captain A. s. Read,
Detectives Ellison, Mckay, Hucka-
ba, Wiley and Miller: Jailers Muf-
ply and Sipe; e. N. Bradfield and
