WATCH OUT FOR THE
Terrible TALES!

Baron Munchausen tales have
grown tame in Tacoma since the
Seymour organs began the grist of
fairy tales about Fawcett. But
bigger ones are said to be in
cubating for Sunday and Monday
and Tuesday morning.
"There has not been so much
political lying in Tacoma since
Mayor Campbell was bounded out
of office by the Perkins crowd" /"
said a citizen today.
But now some real hair-raising
yarns are looked for. If they do
not have Fawcett charged with
being the head of the train robber
syndicate it will be queer. And
watch for the fine interviews from
big business men who will leave
Tacoma IL Fawcett is elected!
And many shops will probably
close for good and all the men
will he thrown out of work!
And tears will be shed over the
poor sinion laboring mantle
same who did not get q chance
to help build the Perkins block
because 1t was a scab job and was
put UP at cut wages with men
W ,rking 10 hours a day. But
tears for the union man, for Sam
my ldyes him so.
When one contemplates all
these dire things that Fawcett is
supposed to have done and be
plotting to do it is marvel that
Tacoma has been able to keep
from sliding right into the bay

FAWCETTD DRAWS
THE CROWDS

The largest political gathering
seen In the South End for a long
time listened to Fawcett speakers
at South Tacoma hall last even
ing. The hall was packed and
the growing Fawcett sentiment
could easily be noted. A large
crowd assembled at Gilbert hall
and listened to several speeches
in favor of Fawcett that seemed
to meet with unanimous approval
from those present.
A. r. Titlow journeyed from
the South End hall at Fifty-sixth
and l., arriving just as the Gilbert
hall meeting adjourned. Consid-
cradle disappointment was mani
tested because Mr.. Titlow's effort
to make both meetings failed.
The Seymour meetings have
fallen down in attendance while
it has been impossible to seat all
those who have gone out to hear
the Fawcett speakers.

MOORHEADW|LL
Be TRIED MAY 3

Roy Moorhead pleaded not gull
ty to first degree murder charge
in connection with the death of
Mrs. Sadie Buchanan before Judge
Chapman in the criminal depart
ment OF the superior court today.
The trial was set for May IS.
Attorney Louis Lefebvre asked
permission to have doctors whom
he should select examine the body
and to have the privilege of talk
ing the prisoner to the scene of
the tragedy, accompanied by Of
ficers. Both applications were re-
sisted by the prosecuting attor-
ney's office and will be decided by
the court Monday.
The information specifically re-
cites that Moorhead premeditated-
1y designed to and did effect the
death of Sadie Buchanan by hold
ing her head beneath the water
OF Puget Sound until she drowned.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 15.
American invasion of Mexico, long
predicted, is in the opinion of Off
cial Washington, nearer today
than at any time since the troops
were mobilized on the border.
1t is learned today that explicit
orders have been sent to Capt.
Gaujot at Aqua Prieta to make 1t
very clear to both federals and
rebels that IL firing on Douglas,
Ariz., is repeated, American troops
will cross the line and take an eff
fective stand to end all danger to
citizens of the United States.
There Is no doubt that President
Taft believes the situation is most
critical. Following the receipt of
cipher messages last night from
Douglas, the president conferred
at length with the heads of the
state, war and justice depart
ments, and today an ultimatum is
on its way to the chiefs of both
the Mexican troops and the rebels
who are warning near the line.

Foregoing was to be found at
the top of the Puget Sound Post
en- of March 80. This issue con-
tanned a picture of Mr.. Seymour
and an article which referred
pleasantly to him. A strong let
ter of commendation was given
prominent space, A. r. Titlow
showed this paper at Pacific
Heights. He sarcastically advised
that Mr.. Sandberg do something
to cover up the fact that he was
for Seymour. The issue Of April
6 also had Mr.. Sandberg's name at
the top of the editorial page. But
the issue of April 13 finds Mr..
Sandberg's name gone. Heavy at
tack is made upon Fawcett, and
the Sandberg paper tells that Mr..
Seymour will give a business
like" administration.
Sandberg has for years been
known as king Of the Tender
loin."

comment in view of the fact that

UP POWER PLANT?

Mayor Fawcett finished the
signing of the Nisqually power
bonds this morning and they will
be delivered today to the purchas-
ers who bought them from Saw
age & Nichols.
Unless some political juggling
prevents the completing of the
plant now Tacoma will be free
from the Stone-Webster power
trust in another year.
That there is deep laid scheme
on the part of the private public
service utilities to head off Taco

OAKLAND, Cal, April H.
The Stanford freshmen crew, pull
ing easily and fresh as at the
start, won the three mile race this
morning by one length from the
baby crew of the University of
California. The time was 1e
minutes flat.
At the finish the Cardinal crew
was a length ahead and going
away fast. They took the lead
at the start and always kept the
California rowers safely behind.

FaWcett Rally

A great Fawcett rally will be
held this evening at Germania
hall, Thirteenth and e streets. An
invitation was extended the Sey-
mour speakers to be present and
debate but they have not officially
accepted. A. R. Titlow, j. G..
Langford, Mrs. H. III. Johnston
and Mrs. Johnston of Fern Hill
will speak.

Fawcett meeting that had been
scheduled for tonight.

article which referred very pleasantly to Mr.. Sey-
mour and showed picture of him. In this article
"dig'' was taken at Mr. Fawcett. Mr.. Titlow dis
played this paper several nights ago at Pacific
Heights. Mr. Woods, campaign manager for Mr.
Seymour, had admitted that he could not name a
single saloon man in favor of Mr.. Fawcett, but he
said he believed Mr.. Sandberg was.

6. Whis issue also had Mr.. Sandberg's name dis
played on the editorial page. BUT The most re-
cent issue, that of April 13, finds Mr.. Sandberg's
name MISSING. Mr. Ttlow displayed this issue
last night. But what does it say about Fawcett?
Translation by Swedish people shows that Fawcett
is roasted to turn by the tenderoin king One art

mean by sensible administrations Pete Sandberg

1t will encourage other cities
along the same line.
The candidacy of w. w. Sey-
mour is being doomed by the
Stone-Webster crowd and the peo-
pie are beginning to get suspic-
ious. With Seymour, public
service man as mayor, if two COM
missioners could then be put In
who would stand by the interests
the city could be put in hole
yet.
Seymour tried to head off the
sale of the bonds that the mayor
finished signing this morning
but he failed in that. If he were
mayor he might be more effective
in serving the interests.
