BOALT TELLS OTHER SIDE OF STORY,
THE WIVES AND CHILDREN OF CREW

The blinds of the houses are
drawn and from behind them
come the sound of weeping.
They are, after all, animport-
ant people.
Still, when the really big, news
of the wreck has been told, you
will, perhaps, have a little SYM
pathy to waste on the young girls
and wives of this mean stree;
whose unimportant lovers anc
hnsbands--the Titanics crew
will never return.
Bread Winner Lost.
II, by then, your font of pity
has not run dry, it may toucn
your heart to remember that
every house-every bouse-in
that mean street has lost bread
winner. To be sure, they were
unimportant men - merely the
sailors who sailed the 100000
900 ship the multi-millionaires
sailed in.
OF course the world is so full
of sea-faring men that 503sy or
1000 more or less does not mat
ter. And of course the Titanic
cost $40, 900. 900, and, of course,
Col. John Jacob Astor was a men,
Der of one of New York's Oldest
and richest families. The world
is stirred to its depths by the
story of the men passengers VINO
would not take the lifeboars,
choosing death that the women
might live.
And SO many of them were
rich,. or famous, or both: and
they had so many good reasons
for wanting to live. And YET
they stayed with the ship.
So did the sailors. But, then,
sailors are always the last to
leave "a shaking ship. or course
they stayed. They were expected
to stay.
Still, one cannot help feeling a
little sorry for these aniEnportant
wives and sweethearts In that
meanest of streets ON Southamp-
toms waterfront. Probably they
were fond OF these uninportanf
sailors whose names the tired
wireless operators are too busy

zANETTA GETS

MILLIONAIRE
CHEERFUL
To END
With his mustache newly shaw

With his mustache newly shaw
ed. which changes his appearance
completely, C. d. Hillman. emil
lionaire real estate man, reached
Tacoma at $3.50 today from Sc
attie on his way to the McNeiIs
island to serve two and half
years for using the mails to de-
fraud.
Hillman lit up big cigar while
waiting to be transferred to the
Steilacoom car, and seemed to ne
cheerful. He conversed with his
brother and Deputy u. s. Marshal
Anderson.
From Stellacoom, Hillman was
transferred to the government
launch which took him to the
island.
"He is bearing up bravely."
said Homer Hillman, the convict
ed mans brother. "The only time
he broke down was when he saw
his children's picture In Seattle
paper on the way over"
The party stopped at the feder-
al building where Deputy Marshal
Davidson shook hands with Hill
man.
well, you're going over, are
you?" said the deputy.
II guess I've got to- said Hill
man with a wry smile.
You made a. game fight any
way"
"I'd have won IL I'd a good law
YER" said the prisoner.
Hillman apparently had refer
ence to Attorney Burch OF Seat
tie, who Is suing him for $4,000
on an alleged $4,000 fee for de-
Tending him.
The convicted man took the, 10
O'Clock car at 11th and X streets
for Steilacoom. He covered his
face with a newspaper as he
climbed aboard.
Shortly after IL o'clock he
boarded the prison launch at
Steilacoom after bidding HIS
brother goodbye. -
Thanks Newspapers.
Thank all the newspapers for
lhc' dM ieclus as Weil hS
can under the circumstances. Re-
member that always died game"
he said, his only comment to the
press.
When he left the car at Stella
COON he feared that press photo
graphers were about and again
covered his face with a news
paper, only his shrewd eyes peer
ing over 1t, his hat pulled down.
With his brother he walked
down to the little wharf and for
lis minutes the pair sat on a
string conversing in low tones.
He frequently walked to the
edge OF the dock to see II the
launch was approaching. There
was neither swagger nor humble
ness in his bearing. He bore him
self quietly as though going on a
business trip instead of behind the
gray walls of the big prison.
When the launch arrived he
shook hands with his brother and
stepped aboard. AS II moved
away he was looking toward the
island, not back.

You will find that this simple REM

than anything else you ever used. Usu-

of "a hours. Splendid, too, for whoop-
ing cough, Group, chest pains, bronchi-

ulates the appetite and is slightly lax

This recipe makes more and better
cough syrup than you could buy ready

tastes pleasantly.
Pinex is the most valuable concen-
trated compound of Norway white pine
extract, and is rich in guaiacol and all
the natural pine elements which are so
healing to the membranes. Other prep
arations will not work in this formula.
This plan of making cough syrup with

it is often initiated. But the old. sue
