Ithamer M. Howell believes
one good term deserves another
so he is going to run for secretary
of state this year.
Who is Ithamer?
That is 81. M" Resident of
Tacoma, former county auditor.
A lot of people never knew his
first name but 1t Is all right and
he is the only Tacoma man in
the state Office now outside of
the supreme court.
Howell became secretary of
state by appointment after con-
GLIDING four years as deputy
county auditor here and being
elected twice as auditor by in
creasing majorities. This was in
1909. He seemed to make good
from the start at Olympia and
had not been in office but few
weeks until he was running the
whole state as acting governor,
the governor having left it's bor-
ders.
Howell came from Iowa to Ia
coma, was educated in the Pierce
county schools and then in Ore
gon normal and went into real
estate with his father. Later he
got into the land department OF

ODD WEAPONS USED IN DUEL
Men MIsinterpret Judges Advice to
Settle Family Dispute Out
of Court.

New York-"You look like two
sensible men. Suppose you take this
family dispute outside. Go to your
homes and settle it between yourselves.
I'm sure you can arrange things be-
tween you privately better than with
me- Try to settle it, anyway, and
then come back and tell me how you
feel"
This benevolent advice was given
by Magistrate Fitch in Long Island
city court to Louis Citryn of 172 Mott
avenue and his brother-in-law. Louis
Rosenberg OF 16s Mott avenue, Long
Island City. They had come to court
after a dispute between their wives.
The courts suggestion seemed to
meet with instant approval, and they
left the room.
An hour later they returned, and II
II hadn't been for their clothes the
magistrate wouldn't have recognized
them. They were battered and blood
stained. Their lips were so cut and
swollen they could hardly speak and
an ambulance surgeon had to be
called TO patch them up before they

before the magistrate wrapped in
bandages he looked at them sorrow
fully.
"You-ah, have settled this mat
ter" asked the magistrate, hesitat-
ingly.
There was an affirmative nod from
one Of them and a glance Of doubt
from the other.
Then both men began to talk at
once to a chorus of lamentations from
their wives and children. At least
the magistrate was able to learn,
much to his regret, that his advice
to settle the dispute outside court
had been misinterpreted
1t came out that in settling the
dispute one man used a brass candle
stick and the other an iron coffee mill
The men made counter charges of as
sault and were held in $500 bail each
for examination. AS they were led
away the magistrate said something
about the folly Of trying to be peace
maker and advisor sometimes.
