called Morris, suspected of the de-
struction of the Los Angeles

Information was furnihsed by
Mrs. e. r. Ingersoll, who told the
police that Bryce" was brought
to her home at 1856 Twentieth
street two weeks before the Times
explosion by woman acquaint-
ance. Bryce engaged room
and shortly was joined by the
"squint-eyed" man. One day she
overheard them talking of dyna-

ence and of Los Angeles. Shortly
before the night of the Times ex-

Morris remained.
Mrs. Ingersoll declared that
she feared for her life, and did
not summon up courage to tell

PUTS BLAME
ON ROYS

Mayor Fawcett is opposed to
the liquor-selling all-night cafe,
and the dance hall.
II have tried to have them
stopped" said the mayor, COM
menting on the exposures by the
Times of the way girls are ruined
and men robbed in Tacoma by the
wide open" policy.
Mayor Fawcett has never been
regarded as reformer. In fact
he holds very so-called liberal"
views about the prevailing vices
of the times, but one thing he is
against, according to his state
ments, is the all-night cafe, whose
doors swing open to joy-riders
and guests from the dance halls.
II will do anything to prevent
a girl from becoming an immoral
character" said the mayor. "Af-
ter they have started on the down
grade it is practically impossible
to save them and you know l have
always been for a restricted dis
trict for those that are gone, but
l say don't make any more. And
this is what these dance halls
and cafes are doing.

That chance was taken. It was
an attack on Judge Kinkade.
These lawyers made a charge of
misconduct against the trial
judge, making affidavit to the ef-
feet that Judge Kinkade had
promised them secretly that If
they would persuade their clients
to plead guilty, he would agree to
make Imprisonment no part of
his sentence.
Denounced From Bench.
The judge denounced the
charges from the bench as being
false as hell and sentenced two
Of the big trust lawyers to Jail for
contempt of court. They were
saved by the circuit court, and
the ice cases carried to the su-
preme court.
That wise old supreme court
found loophole. It found that
the Judge had no right to SEN
tence them to the workhouse, but
could send them to Jail. They
were sent back for resentence,
and finally did go to Jail and do
time.
In the meantime Judge Kin
kade forced a showdown, and
made the big trust lawyers come
Into court on their charges
against him. A Cleveland Judge
was sent to Toledo to conduct the
hearing. The lawyers couldn't I
prove their charges. Judge Kin
kade was vindicated and the law
Iyers shown up in their true light.

underclothing before he ever
wears them, then they don't come
off. Isn't he the prim thing? But
don't worry. girls. about men be-
ing Sissy" Take it from me,
there aren't many who are fussy
in that way about their duds.
There's a double standard" in
the ethics of clothes. It's a dis
grace for woman to wear a
stocking with hole in it or wear
any other garment that is out of
order. So certain is the ignominy
falling upon a woman wearing
frayed skirts or ragged undeH-
clothing, that If by lapse she has
on a garment in such condition
she often laughingly warns her
family to have her brought home
and not taken to the morgue or a
hospital in case of accident on the
street.
Men who are scrupulous about
the bath and fastidious about man
touring will wear ragged under
clothing and stockings with holes
in them without the least COM
Function. Moreover, upon discov-
cry, they are forgiven, for how car
q man keep his clothes in order?
Men have three established
methods for meeting the mendins
problem. They hire their mendine
done, or buy new things or weal
them with holes in them. Yor
can count on this-they don't
worry about their clothes nor lei
mending bother them.

SPAIN IS
SCARED
TODAY
(By United Press Leased Wire.

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
MADRID, Via Hendaye, Oct.
13.-The anniversary of the exc
cution of Francisco Ferrer is
passing in Spain today with every
manifestation of martial law. The
entire army is under arms; the
reserves have been modified, and
the cities are thronged with
troops.
At Barcelona martial law al
ready has been declared, and Pre-
mier Canalejas announces that in
the event of an uprising the king
is confident of the support of
the army. 1t is reported that AL
fonso personally will command
his forces. All leaves of absence
has been suspended.
Reports from Barcelona indi-
cate that the great stone prison,
Spafn's "Bastile," is guarded care
fully by heavy garrison for fear
that an attempt will be made to
dynamite the noted Jail, in which
hundreds of republican prisoners
have been shot to death and in
which Prof. Ferrer was executed
after a farcical trial.

FEARLESS JUDGE
WINS OVER LAWYERS

TOLEDO, o., Oct. 13.-Several
years ago an ice trust was formed
in Toledo. Prices to the con-
sumers were practically doubled.
The managers of the ice trust
we're indicted. The big men be-
hind these managers employed
the big trust lawyers, who were
supposed to have a pull with the
court.
The indicted men were advised
to plead guilty to violating the
Valentine antitrust law.
But One Did.
Nobody dreamed that any
Judge then ON the bench would
sentence such influential clients
of such powerful trust lawyers to
the workhouse.
But one did.
Judge Reynolds R. Kinkade
happened to be sitting on the
common pleas bench and in
charge of the criminal docket
when the ice men pleaded guilty.
He severely lectured them from
the bench and sentenced them to
serve six months in the work.
house.
Then the storm broke. The
big trust lawyers with a pull we're
in a hole. There was no appeal
for the men had pleaded guilty.
There was only one chance to
keep the ice man out of the work
house, and that was to get the
case, somehow, before the next
higher court.

dapper bachelor lawyer.
Il don't keep them mended," he
said ruefully. Look at that" dis
playing long rent in a handsome
tan rain coat. He was too modest
to make any admission about his
stockings and stalled" the general
question by reference to teh tailor
and laundry.
MEMS clothes don't cost as
much as women's," he said, "and
we can afford to throw away a
worn garment. l can buy three
shirts for what you pay for one
shirtwaist."
When young man goes
away from home the first time, +"
said a newlywed, "his mother fits
him out with a roll that has in it
buttons, thread, needles and a
thimble. For a while he sews on
buttons out of respect for his
mother, and then he gets married.
That helps him out, but / don t
sc how that solves the mending
problem for the woman, do you?
Asks the Hello Girl.
The other day / saw how one
fellow in distress was getting re-
lief. He had APPEALED to the teIe-
phone operator at his hotel, and
between pushing in the plugs at
the switch board she sewed on a
button for him.
And so the mending got around
to the woman again, you see.
One bachelor says he sews on
' all the buttons of new shirts and
