Getting into the throng you are
taken out through Pera, the for

its holes.
This road goes through a coun-
try of knobs with not tree in

acteristic, of the whole of Turkey.
If Turk wants wood he cuts
down a tree even if it is the last in
the landscape and he, never plants
another.
After twisting through these
barren knobs for two or three
miles you come suddenly upon a
winding silvery river and a little
park in which there are actually
some trees. Here for their holt

the capital as we'll as those who

BAD AUTO
COLLISION
AT TACOMA


Tacoma, Wash, July 24.-As the re-
suit OF broadslde collision between
a large Thomas Flyer touring car and
a light Studebaker %. NJ. +. $50" last
night at the junction of the Steilacoom
and Olympic roads, pr, Guy Ireland Of
Tacoma, lies at the hospital of the
Fort Steilacoom asylum with a frac-
tured skull, and Is not expected to
live. The Thomas car, driven by G. h.
Lloyd, of Portland, and carrying c. B.
Gates, Of that city, returning home
from the Seattle Potlatch, crashed in
to the Studebaer car, driven by Or. A,
p. Calhoun. superintendent of the
Steilacoom insane asylum, and carry
ing DR., Ireland, with such force as to
practically demollsh both cars.
DR.. Calhoun was returning from
Olympia, and the accident occurred at
the intersection Of the Steilacoom and
Olympia roads.
c. b. Lloyd and C. NJ. Gates we're
recognized and released this morning,
and Immediately employed an attorney
and will sue Dr. Calhoun for damages.
1t Is alleged they will charge that DR.
Calhoun, who was driving, was intoxi-
Gated. This cannot be verified.
DIR. Ireland was brought to Tacoma
from the Fort steilacoom hospital this
noon, and will be operated upon by
board of Tacoma surgeons, in an ef-
fort to save his life. The position OF
the machines, which had not been
moved this morning, corroborated
Lloyd's story that he was driving on
the right side of the road, Dr. Calhoun
on the wrong, and that when Lloyd
swung to avoid the collision DR.. Cal
houn swung his machine directly into
the Portland auto The wreck was
200 yards from the road junction,
which does not bear out the story told
by DR.. Calhoun.

BRINGS SUIT ALLEGING
HE WAS ILLEGALLY ARRESTED

Ralph Derrick, who was arrested
the last night of the Cherry Fair, has
filed a suit for $2500 damages against
]. e. Whitlatch, the officer making
the arrest, in which he alleges chat
the officer made the arrest wilfully
and maliciously and with the intent to
humiliate and Disgrace him before his
associates. Derrick was taken into
custody by the officer for alleged dis
orderly conduct, in connection with
the general commotion Saturday night
of the Cherry Fair. Derrick alleges
that he demanded that he be taken
before the magistrate, but that this
was refused him, and that he was
then placed in the city jail, where he
remained for II hours. He alleges that
no complaint was filed against him,
and that there was no warrant for his
arrest. He also alleges that he was
released without hearing and with
out bail.
The records at the city recorders
office show that Monday, July 10,
1912, R. D. Derrick appeared before
the police Judge and pleaded guilty to
a charge OF disorderly conduct, paying
fine of $500. The usual form of
complaint is on file, charging him
with the offense to which according
to the records, he pleaded guilty.
