MURDERER ESCAPES FROM CELL
PICKS LOCK AND

SENTENCED TO DIE, AND
PASSES THROUGH GALLONS

CARSON, New, Sept. 3O.-Pick-
ing the lock of his cell in the
death chamber of the state peni-
Tertiary here, Fred Skinner, SEN.
fenced to die for the murder Of a
woman at Rhyolite, passed
through the gallows room which,
had been prepared for his execu-
ton and scaled the Jail yard to
safety. Skinner escaped yester-
day but the fact was kept secret
until today. ..s.-.
The escape was one of the most
daring in the history of the peni-
tentiary. Skinner, an expert elec-
trician, had been feigning insan-
ity. He left a dummy in his bed
in the death chamber, fooling the
guards who made hourly rounds.
Making his way to the prison yard
through the gallows room, Skin
her went to the electric fence
guarding south outlet. He short
circuited the current and climbed
over. Then he restored the cur
rent and fled to the mountains.
State police and prison guards
are searching the mountains for
the fugitive today, but have Sc
cured no clue as to his where
abouts.

SUES TRUSTEES
!. FOR $4,000
ATTORNEY MASTERSON Al
LEGES COMPANY WANTED
TO FREEZE HIM OUT OF
CORPORATION.

Alleging that he was the vic
tim of "freeze-out" conspiracy
to force him out of the First Ma
tional Life Assurance society of
Tacoma and Walla Walla, Attor-
ney Edwin f. Masterson today
started suit against the board of
trustees of that company In SUI
perior Judge Il. M. Cards court
for the recovery of 100000 and
attorneys fees.
Those named personally as de-
PENDANTS are: H. Morton Greg
ory and DR.. Alfred E. Braden OF
Tacoma, and Marvin Evans and
Richard J. Tompkins of Walla
Walla.
Masterson alleges that the
whole assets of the company, with
the exception of $4,000 cash,
was in the form of personal notes
of the defendants placed as col
lateral for $4,000 more. He
claims he owned 400 shares of
stock whose par value was $50 a
share, but whose actual value he
has placed at about $40 a share.
He further declares he submit
ted $1,000 under duress to the
defendants In December, 1907,
for which he was given promis-
sorry notes on which he was to coll
lect but $4,000 owing to dis
counts. He claims the defend
ants falsified the books OF the
corporation to make them appear
that he owned but 100 shares of
stock instead of 400.
Through the alleged conspiracy
he claims he was damaged to the
extent Of $4,000. He also
wishes $4,000 for the other 300

Is an endless continuation of revo-
luton, anarchy and ruin from one
end of Mexico TO the other. This

situation here today following re-
ports circulated in Washington
that President Taft may call an
extra session of congress to au-
thorize the sending of American
troops across the border.
As a matter of cold fact, con-
ditions are said to be far worse
in Mexico today than they have
ever been, and are getting worse
all the time. Peace-loving citizens
here today privately admit they
would welcome American inva-
sion. Mexico has no money to
prosecute foreign war and she
could not mobilize an army suffi-
ciently to adequately oppose the
large and well equipped force the
United States could throw into
this country In sort order.

nm YOU WANT THIS CITY
iii TOSPEND MORE MONEY
~ in 1913?

Next Monday the city council will fix the
budget for 1913.
Will the people get consideration or will the
city be run solely for the benefit of those already
on the municipal payroll?
The Times has been receiving a lot of letters
from taxpayers anent this budget.
UP to date just one of them has advocated the
increase in the salaries of policemen and firemen
demanded.
And that one was written by city employee
who has asked for raise himself and who is
getting salary Of 500 month or 81 900 year.
ALI policemen and firemen in Tacoma get over
$1,000 year, with a 10 day vacation thrown in
But the fremen say they are going into
politics to get what they want---in fact have
gone in. They declare they have pledge wrung
from Commissioner Mills before his election
that he would vote to increase their salaries
Apparently they exacted similar one from
Woods and Lawson.
But where do the people come in
Are the thousands of taxpayers going to sit
by and see organized bands of city EMPLOYEES
use their political power to pledge candidates
secretly for salary boosts and take it meelly or
Will they have something to say themselves?
1t is up to the people If they say boost the
salaries, that goes for they pay the bills The
city commissioners do not pay the bills. There
are working men in Tacoma getting less than
$4 day who pay as much taxes as the whole
punch OF commissioners outside of the mavor.
Ihe Times wants to hear from the people.
Write your ideas at once in less than $50 words.
II you want taxes reduced you must act at
once. Next week will be too late.
There are thousands of laboring men pavinp
lakes who cannot be at the city hall next Mon.

Serious rioting between police
and the textile strikers as pro-
test against treatment accorded
Joseph Ettor and Arturo Giovan-
nitti, labor leaders, broke out
again at 6 o'clock this morning
when the workers approached the
mills. Dozens of persons, includ-
ing the strikers and members of
the police force, are in hospitals
suffering with broken heads The
police stations are jammed with
prisoners, both men and women.
The worst rioting occurred at
Essex and Union streets. Here
the state and city police charged
a thousand strikers and their
sympathizers. Despite the chilly
weather, long before daylight,
more than 1000 pickets had sur
rounded the Wood, Aver and
Washington mills. Automobiles,
loaded with police, were rushed
to the scene and desperate fight
ing followed. Many police and
strikers were beaten into insensi-
bility. The crowds converged in
to Essex and Union streets from
all points.
Here the battle was waged for
ten minutes, the police finally
forcing the strikers back. A
squad of newspaper reporters and
photographers came in behind the
strikers and the latter turned
suddenly on the newspaper men.
One photographer was badly beat
en- up and his camera smashed.
One of the strikers is dying
from his injuries and several
others are In serious condition.
More trouble is expected before
night, although the police are
trying to keep the streets clear
of pedestrians
Women are taking a prominent
part in the demonstration. Hun
dreds of them participated in the
clash with the police. OF the two
