SELECT JURY
IN DAHL SUIT

The case of Hans Dahl, former
proprietor of the old Bodega sa-
loon, who is suing the Times Pub
fishing company for damages, was
begun this morning before Judge
Card.
The selection of a jury consum-
ed the entire morning and part
of the afternoon. Policemen and
detectives, women who lived In
the rooms above the saloon and
others familiar with the character
of the place thronged the corri-
dors of the court room.
Dahl alleges that articles in the
Times about his resort made 1t
impossible for him to get his II
cense renewed.
Attorney John H. Perry for the
Times had several clashes with
Judge Card over prospective jur-
ors.
would you give the same cre-
dence to the testimony of Hans
Dahl IL the evidence discloses that
he was proprietor of a place leas-
ed out for immoral purposes con-
trary to the criminal statutes that
you would give to a decent law
abiding citizen?" Perry asked the
jurors.
Card ruled both ways ON this
question.

UNIONS MAKE
BITTER FIGHT
ON KEITH

Union labor made determined
stand before the new council this
morning against the confirmation
of Herman Keith on the Nisqual-
ly power plant job.
Resolutions of protest were
read from the garment workers,
the blacksmiths and the machin-
lists union.
Backing this up came a special
committee headed by T. F. Burns
representing the Central Labor
council.
Is Strike-Breaker.
"We want to protest against
Mr.. Keith because he is a strike
breaker" said Burns. "He has
been a strike-breaker for years,
has fought organized labor in It's
efforts to get better conditions
and Is fighting it now"
w. F, Yeck, electrician, protest
ed against the way things are go
ing at the Nelson Bennett job. IN
stead of sending 400 volts over
the wire he said the sent out
LOO the other day and blew up
voltmeter.
! Burns called the attention Of
the council to the letter against
Keith when he was fired for
drunkenness.
I'D like to see it," said the
mayor.
I'VE don't want it," said
Woods.
Lawson did not produce it, but
said he had 1t.
Not Confirmed-Yet.
Other members of the labor
committee denounced Keith as a
strike-breaker. 1--WE are a unit
against it," said one.
DO you want to say any-
thing" asked the mayor of Law
son.
mo, he don't want to say any,
thing" said Woods, as Lawson
hesitated.
Lawson said nothing.
THE appointment is really not
before us now" said the mayor.
And the council adjourned.

Should Bachelors Be Tagged
Sure, Say Tacoma Men

ting used to it," said the rotund
Frank B. Cole. II think that's a
fine scheme. But they ought to
tag the women too-that is the
single women.
Cole was busy figuring on the
Montamara Festo. He had an IDEA,
why not have 'em wear little
tigers?" he said. "Male tigers
for bachelors, female for old
maids"
How could you tell which was
which," asked the Times man.
"Oh, the deuce" said Cole.
That's So"
H. S. Dougherty, president OF
the University club, hasn't resign
ed himself to bachelorhood, may
be. At least he was very gallant
about the matter.
IF the ladies want 1t, it's all
right with me-" he grinned.
VIM. Norman, cigar dealer, was
the last man on the list. Would
l wear one?" he smiled. 81 sure
would. / think they ought to tag
the single women too, though, to
avoid confusion. Count on my
vote for it."

ing when Attorney R. L. Sheriff.,
accompanied by Attorney Charles

and Special Prosecutor j. F. Bur-
dick, laid the matter before Su-
perior Judge Chapman in cham
bers after a brief half hour before

turned to the grand jury room.

the Wilkeson miner, who had to
give up $500 for freedom, his
wife Elizabeth, and Deputy Sher-

What do Tacoma bachelors

to find out today.
c.. H. Herald, manager of tho

man.

good" men, arrested by Detec-
tives Frank Geary and James
NIilone.
Down in the city Jail in separ-
ate cells are what the police call
two good" men.
They are good" men because
the police allege they are clever
shoplifters, pickpockets and gen.
eral thieves.
Snyder Makes Bluff.
B. Snyder, alias Sergeant, is a
particularly "good" man. He is
the "stall' or 'front.' for the duo.
He has the appearance of a busi-
ness or professional man. He has
cool level head and iron nerve.
He is never ruffled. He is ready
at moments notice to talk his
companion out of trouble.
Snyder may walk into a store
and stall" the proprietor, his
keen eyes taking in every detail
and most valuable goods while
his partner waits outside or fills
his pockets.
He Is the man who stands next
the victim while his partner dips
his hand into the purse pocket, or
nips the diamond stud from the
shirt front. He is the man ac-
cused, but he never has the stolen
goods on his person or actually
takes 1t.
Martin the Worker.
Fred Martin Is the worker. He
hasn't the appearance, the assur-
ance. Snyder might talk you out
OF house and lot. Martin prob
ably could not sell you a tootn-
pick.
But the police say he has the
cunning; that he is able to ex.
tract a wallet or pinch off tae
diamond stub without ruffiing
the clothing.
He is supposed to be able TO
do sleight of hand tricks in the
stores, palming, or putting valu-
able goods into his sleeve or a
suit case before the clerks eyes.
Climb the Porch.
He might be able also to clumb
the porch post and rummage the
second story while his partner
engaged the family at the front
door with story of a lost daugn-
ter or mistaken address
They are good" men, the po-
lice say. They are going where
they will have to be good" the
police say.
They have playing a game OF
bluff at present, but the stolen
goods were found in their rooms
and they have record scattered
over the country.

WILSON MEN
SEATED BY
DEMS

(By United Press Leased Wire.
WALLA WALLA, May T.
Mayor George F. Cotterill of Sc
attic today is conceded the credit
for the victory of the King county
primary delegates over the hand
picked" delegates before the Gre
dentials committee.
The committee was ordered to
report at Z o'clock last evening,
but the fight lasted until o'clock
in the. morning. Thomas r..
Horner of Seattle made the chier
argument for the hand pickers.
Cotterill's speech struck the
telling blow against the "hand
picking" method of selecting deie-
gates. The committee then voted
20 to IA for the primary dele
gates, some Clark men joining the
Wilsonites.
The resolutions committee Is
inclined to follow reationary
lines. 1t refused to insert "includ-
ing judges in committing demo-
cracy to the recall principle.
WALLA WALLA, May 7. -
After an all night fight the Gre
dentials committee early today
seated the primary" or Wilson
delegation from King county and
the Wilson men had won the first
round in the fight for control of
the Washington democratic state
convention.
Clark forces appear stronger
but the Wilson men are confident
that they can prevent instruction
for Clark.
1t is still possible that with a
deadlock between Wilson ana
Clark Bryan delegation might
be sent to Baltimore.
