"Give me a can of Blanks
pork and BEANS" the man told
the grocer.
"Mr. Mohr will not eat them.
Here's some made in Tacoma"
replied the grocer, who knew the
hobby of Henry Mohr, hardware
merchant and Tacoma booster.
Where did you get this?"
asked Mr.. Mohr of his wife, pick
ing up can of baking powder.
"They make better goods in Ia
coma. / will have nothing else"
"Oh, you're too strict. I got
that with cook book. / only
wanted the cook book" said Mrs.
Mohr, who is almost as enthus-
iastic over home trade as is her
husband.
"If everybody in Tacoma would
buy nothing but Tacoma made
goods a 10 foot board fence about
the city would not keep the peo-
pie out" declares Mr.. Mohr and
he is doing his best to get every
person in Tacoma to use nothing
but home made goods.
All Home Made.
Not so long ago Mr.. Mohr built
a fine building on G street and
put in one of the finest hardware
stores on the coast. Nothing
went into the construction of the
building that was not Tacoma
made, as far as Mr.. Mohr could
prevent. He superintended the
work from foundation to roof
and even had the elevator and
shelving made in Tacoma at
greater expense In order to pat
ronize home trade.
He calls It his monument to
the city. It's good one.
Henry Mohr does not believe
in having money lying idle in
safety deposit vaults. He wants
to keep It AL at work- When ~

LAKE TAPPe
PLANT

Declaring the state law uncon-
stitutional because Ii interfered
with the property rights of indi-
viduals and granting $1,000 dam
ages to the Sumner Lumber Co.
against the Stone-Webster power
interests, Judge Card this morn
ing signed decree which II up
held by the supreme courts will
render practicfSy valueless, attor-
neys say, the 100000 invest
ment of the power trust at Lake
Tapps.
Card also permanently enjoined
the power company from fur
diverting the waters of White
river into Lake Tapps, which had
left the White river practically
dry for IA miles down which the
lumber company used to float its
timber to the mill.
The Sumner Lumber Co., a
$4,000 corporation, had a prior
right, he ruled. The Stone-Web-
ster people, it is said, engineered a
bill through the legislature be-
fore the Lake Tapps project was
begun giving power corporations
the right to divert streams for
power despite the damage 1t
might do to other Industries.
The lumber company had been
using the river for logging long
before the Lake Tapps project was
begun and owned all of the tim
ber along the river. When the
river was diverted it had no means
of getting out the timber and
was practically forced to close its
mill.
The injunction forces the Stone
Webster Co. to turn the water
back into the natural course.
Appeal was taken at once. The
case was heard several months
ago.

Although Tacoma business and
professional men have pledged
themselves to pay $4,000 to
bring the big auto road races to
Tacoma this summer, the fact
that certain property holders are
boosting the price of property

that races will have to be post

STRIKERS FIGHT POLICE.
Parade Without Permit Dispersed
After Fierce Struggle.

After Fierce Struggle.
Lawrence, Mass.-Police and para
ders fought with knives and clubs
Sunday before a demonstration by
members of the Industrial Workers of
the World. Two officers were stab
bed, several demonstrators were club
bed and an Industrial Worker leader
was captured after hard fight and
then freed. Two arrests were made.
Carlo Tesca, of Pittsburg, an edi-
tor, who is an organizer of the Indus
trial Workers, was in custody but
gained his freedom a minute or two
later. Persons who saw Tesca's ar
rest said he was rescued by comrades.
Tesca said the police let him go. All
the police professed Ignorance of the
occurrence.
The clash was unexpected More
than 20, 900 operatives met at the rail-
road station to welcome 700 members
of the Industrial Workers of the
World who had come from Boston to
participate in parade TO the graves
of Anna Lopizzo and John Ramay,
who were killed in the strike riots last
January.
After the visitors had detrained an
impromptu parade started, turning
finally into Essex street, the main
business thoroughfare. The parade
was informal and no application had
been made for parade permit The
police, notified that the operatives
were marching, attempted to end the
demonstration.
A squad of % officers was sent to
Essex and Lawrence streets, where
they threw line across Essex street
and awaited the procession. Two
large banners were carried by the
marchers. One was inscribed: "The
only justice; the freedom for Ettoi
and Giovannitti. The other bore the
words, "Police and Militia" and be
low, "Who killed Anna and John?"
: When the head of the parade reach
: ed the lire of officers it halted and ar
argument began. The police notified
the marchers that they must disperss
because they had no permit. Those il
the front rank were endeavoring t.
fall back, when suddenly the marchers
4: in the rear pressed forward and the
? millworkers tried to pass the police
They struck right and left at the off
0 GERS. who responded by swinging theii
clubs. Many paraders were knocked
to the ground.
In some instances the marcher
: robbed the officers of their clubs ant
I began to beat the police. The latte
n were forced to retreat into Lawrence
! street. 1t was here that Tesca wa
e seized by officers. Angered by tn
= arrest of their leader, the crowd mad
! a rush for the officers. The police ap
q peared to be fighting to hold the pris
oner, but moment or two later Tesc
n was at liberty. In the fight two ltal
g ians, Sebastiano de Mano and Witt
e Loncasterta, were arrested and take
% to the station house. AS they wer
being taken through the door of tn
station a shot was heard. 1t appeare
II to have been fired by someone in tt
crowd, but the operatives cried OF
r. that the police were shooting.
Later the crowd was driven throue
III Lawrence street and to the common
ID were the paraders dispersed.

men in this city Saturday night. One
of the machines containing nine men
came on the bridge at terrific speed.

tried to avoid the car but he was too
late in steering out of its way and a
collision occurred. A third automobile
then ran into the speeding car.

Washington, d. C.-In a gallant
assault, American marines and blue
jackets drove the Nicaraguan revolu-
tionary leader, General Zeledon, and
his forces from Coyotepe and Barran-
cans hills, near Masaya, after 81 min
utes of fighting, but in the action four
privates of the United States Marine
Corps were killed and several were
wounded.
Coyotepe Hill is noted in Central
American warfare as impregnable. 1t
was never captured by assault until
the Americans took it.
The victory of the Americans
opened the way for the Nicaraguan
government troops to assault the town
of Masaya, which they took from the
revolutionists, and its starving inhab-
itants were relieved.
The revolutionist losses were heavy,
while the government force lost 100
killed and 200 wounded.
General Zeledon, the rebel, escaped,
but later was cornered and killed by q
troop of Federal cavalry.
One thousand American marines and
bluejackets, under Lieutenant Colonel
Charles G. Long, are moving on the
city of Leon, the remaining rebe
