DENIAL BY TAFT
"SNUB" FOR FRICK

Beverly, Mass. Aug. 4.-For the first
time the eternal warfare between the
of the East and those of the
West on the exclusive North Shore to-
day involved a President Of the United
States.
The big point at issue is the billion
dollar lawn party to be given at Harry
Clay Frick's home, at Prides Crossing.
VT.
President Taft's name had been in
cluded In the list Of those who were to
be present. Under Mr.. Frick's plans, as
published, the President was to- be the
only nonmIllionaire on the grounds for
the big fete. The President deemed the
report worthy of an official denial, which
was wired here from the White Hous,'.
Not only did the President say he would
not attend the party. but that he never
intended to be there.
The Presidents official message is re-
garded as a "snub" for Frick and his
set, but plans for the lawn party are
going ahead just the same.

The investigation into the
books of Harry Bringolf at the
city treasury shows that he re-
sorted to forgery as well as sim
pie larceny i'm his game of grab.
In one district where he took
over 81, 400 from the delinquent
assessments, he was not able to
cover it and in order to have the
district go through all right he
certified the balance from the
controller and gned the name of

The forgery is easily detected
on examination of the signature.
Bringolf has not yet been SEN
fenced.
Commissioner Freeland spent
several hours with him yesterday
to see If he could get any further
facts from him that would lead
to a recovery of any of the money
stolen, but he got nothing.
1t is apparent that while Bring
off made small populations year
or more ago they were easily COW
cred and amounted to little, but
his real fast pace has been in the
last two months.
He has flung away about $10,-
900 apparently in the last couple
of months.
This apparently Is what he
meant by insisting that he was no

His wife and mother visited
him at the county Jail yesterday
afternoon and were with him
some time.
At a conference held at the
county jail last night between
Harry Bringolf. Commissioner
Ray Freeland, Deputy Prosecutor
Burmeister and Bringolf's wife
and parents, an attempt was made
to. ascertain whether Bringolf had
cached any of the money he ad-
mits stealing from the city. Brin-
golf denied having secreted any
money and itemized his spendings.
He said he gave Doris Brown
about $4,000, had spent shaking
dice at the Moose Cigar store and
Olympic Club about $1,000 each;
had spent with Lou Evans between
$500 and $1,000, and about
1900 in Seattle cafes.

Latest, The Real
Strawberry Jag

Did you ever get a ''strawberry
iag?" No joshing. There really
is such thing as a strawberry
jog" It's one of the greatest sem
sations of the day. The juice of
the grape. barley, corn and hops
are relegated into antiquity w1en
compared with the effects of the
strawberry jag.
You do not have to drink to get
on a strawberry jag. Not a drop
of anything, even water. Just
smell, become intoxicated woozy,
pifflicated, petrified, soused,
You can just keep on smelling,
seeing purple elephants, green
rabbits and red frogs.
Deckhands on the boats plying
between Tacoma and the islands
first discovered the strawberry
jag. They found that on one
trip when the boat was loaded
to capacity with strawberries, the
odor from the berries was heavy
and strong and seemed to have
an intoxicating effect that they
claimed beat the effects of whisky
or champagne. The whole crew,
even the captain, stood around
shifting the air and getting
Jagged.
