HOW A HUMANE OFFICER
IS SOLVING A CASE
Of HUMAN MISERY
INSTEAD A CELL AND DISC RACE WOMAN WHO STOLE
HUNGER PA NGS LEARNING
ISN'T AS BAD AS 1T NIGHT BE-

What Is a woman to do when
she is so, without resources, with
out influence, without friends?
The police court did not know,
SO when Mrs. Morrill, stole three
bottles of milk and came up the
judge looked puzzled. She said
she wanted the milk for child
she had to say something and that
was the natural thing, but the fact
is that she was simply face to face
with the wolf that was bowling
Tacoma avenue.
She lives in an old shack that
has been condemned by the city as
unfit for habitation. Her finan-
cial condition is as hopeless as the
house.
So the court turned the case
over to Humane Agent Van Voris.
Now Van has his one good hand
covered with briar scratches. He
is not paid by the city for clean
ing up berry patches but Van
Voris is one public official that
does lot of things he is not paid
for.
He went down to the Morrill,
place. He found it showing the
result of the discouraged condi-
tion of mind under which the
woman has labored.
Takes Coat Off.
And he took off his coat and
went into that berry patch and
over that yard and had a clean
up.
And the woman caught the IN
spiration.
The house had looked like a
riverfront hovel when he started
in on the yard, but by the time
Van Voris had cleaned UP the
. yard the floors had been scrubbed,
the place cleaned UP and it looked
as if civilization was dawning.
People who read of the poor
woman who stole three bottles of
milk last week thought it too bad
and they forgot all about it then.
But Van Voris did not forget.
He went about remedying condi-
tions at the place. He found who
owned the shack and went to
them and they agreed to let the
woman stay until the city tears 1t
down or she gets work.
With the place cleaned up and
a home guaranteed for the present
the humane officer started his
real problem of providing Mrs.
Morrill, with means to earn her
living.
1--WE want a place for her as
housekeeper," said Van Voris to-
day. And he was calling on the
telephone everybody he thought
:. might know anyone who needed
woman of mature years to keep
house.
The judge might have punished
Mrs. Morrill, for stealing that
milk. He might have sent her to
Jail for a month. When she
emerged she would have been
more hopeless and more in de-
spair than ever.
But Van Voris is going to solve
the situation and make the wom-
an of so, without resources,
friends or influence a self-supporr-
Ing and self-respecting citizen of
Tacoma.
How many of the cases that
come before the police judge are
counterparts of the case OF Mrs.
Morrill,?
1t is beginning to dawn on some
citizens that many are and that
if there were more men like the
humane officer in the city service,
the board bill at the city Jail could
be cut and lot of the hopeless
might be made producers in the
city's Industrial life.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, March 49,
Despite the usual dearth of Off
cial information, every indication
in both the army and naval
branch of the modified American
forces here today is that action
Is expected within a few hours at
most. What that action will be
| is still problematical, but the ad-
vance of part of the army forces
to Tia Juana, the dispatch of the
destroyer fleet down the Mexican
coast and the landing of the Buff
falo's 500 marines with IA days
provisions at Magdalena are only
some of the rumored develop
ments soon to come.
In support of the prediction
that General Bliss headquarters
will soon be at Tia Juana-if not
across the Mexican line-is cited
the fact that military officers for
days have been collecting informa-
ton as to routes and water sup
plies in Diaz' land. All of yes
terday was put in by Captain
James. Longstreet, of the Eighth
infantry, chief ordnance officer,
and chief engineer, and other Of
fcers, along the Mexican line.
Captain Longstreet wore uniforms
on his mission but carried no side
arms. These activities or the
army men have convinced observ-
ers that they have reason to ex-
pect a move southwark very soon.
The probability of a dash down
the coast by the destroyers was
taken from the fact that Comman-
der Richardson, in command of
the mosquito fleet, and Admiral
Thomas passed almost all of yes
terday in conference, and last ev-
ening a general council of COM
manders of the torpedo boats, de-
stroyers and submarines was held.
"There has been no change IN
the situation yet," said Admiral
Thomas today. AS all can see,
stearh is up on all of the ships and
we are ready to start anywhere on
a moments notice"
That the Buffalo VIII soon fol-
low the Yorktown down the Mexi-
can coast and that she will land
her 500 marines with Ia days
lrations at Magdalena bay, is con-
fidently predicted.
Expectations of an early de-
lpartqre by the Buffalo are based
on alleged reports from the gun
boat Yorktown, which is said to
havet sent wireless messages off
Ensenada. The Yorktown sailed
late Saturday night. These re-
ports, 1t is said, have urged upon
Admiral Thomas the necessity of
a further force in Mexican waters.

MARKET NEWS
NEW YORK COTTON

New York Dec. 29.-After very ir- regular opening due to the circulation of December and a heavy January notice the cotton market -srmed u~ on buying of near months by trade interests and covering of later deliveries for over the holidays with the close very steady at net advance of 12 points. All three of the big cotton markets will be closed from tonight until Tuesday morning.
 The opening was steady with first prices or : points lower on December and January as a result of active liquid ation by scattering longs who evidently wished to avoid deliveries, while later months were unchanged to points high CT in sympathy with -steadicr Liverpool cables.
 1t was estimated that practically all the cotton delivered on December con tracts was re-tendered on January by the big spot people this morning it being rumored that the notices issued represente Approximately 115,000 bales.

eRApsrREET's REPORT.

New York. Dec. 29.--Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 h wholesale and jobsing lines trade is very quiet and inventory taking re- ceives more attention. while clearing s,aes earlier than usual by the way, are the noteworthy features of the retail trade. Stil cold weather has imparted some Fest to the distribution of season able goods.
 Results regarding holiday trade are on the whole satisfactory but some press disappointment over the outcome. However the year ends with more optimistic feeling prevailing in most lines Incidently the rubber goods trade has been helped by the weather conditions, the cold wave having visited practically the entire country. Spring buying has not developed to any extent as vet. though cotton goods continue to display an upward tendency. In fact the whole textile trade appears to have gained ground. which promises to be extended after the turn of the New Year. The situation in the iron and steel trades continues to improve and it is note worthy that holiday suspensions of work among central western steel mills were of short duration, some of them having resumed the day after Christmas. After January 1. additional capacity will be placed in operation. Liberal car and rail buying is expected.
 Business failures in the United States px S04 against 293 last week, 251 in the like week of 1910, 257 in 1909, 299 in 1908 and 1S5 in 1907. Business failures in Canada for the week ending with Thursday were 22, which contrasts with as last week and B in the corresponding week of last year.
