Movers say it Is a conservative
estimate that 200 Tacoma families
are moving this week, and that
another 200 will have moved by
the time the month is out. The
average size of these moving fam
lilies is comparatively small, for
the obvious reason that a childless
couple can move from downtown
flat to suburban bungalow with
little trouble Paterfamilias with
a numerous bunch of children
thinks twice about moving. There
is kink in. the feminine mind
which finds pleasure in moving in
the spring. The male human
isn't strong for 1t.
The poet strikes his lutte and
sings song of spring-oh, gentle
spring!
A bas the spring! We like it
not. Let poets rave-it changeth
our opinion not one jot. Winter,
though 1t be chill and wet, is
bearable; the summer fine; and
autumn, with its changing leaf
and yellowing vine, is finer STILL
Then why-why-why tell spring
time lies? Why prate of flowers
and bin DIS and smiling skies?
The meter of this poems punk,
the rythm rotten; but is 1t any
punker junk than spring dope
from the poets gotten. At any
rate 1t is no worse than spring,
of which now hear the Truthful
Poet sing.
The spring time is the moving
season; and could you ask for bet
ter reason for hating 1t? All, no!
we gave up liking spring long,
long ago. 'Tis then we fit from
house and flat, and cart the fur
niture, and dog and cat, to suburb

wife says we must take her from

GRONEN HURLS
DEF| At NICK
LAWSON

Commissioner Gronen issued a
hot challenge to his rival, Nick
Lawson, today to meet him in q
Joint debate. Gronen's deri reads
as follows:
Mr.. Nicholas Lawson,
City.
Isasmuch as l believe that the
coming election of commissioner
of light and water should be de-
cided upon the records and quail
fications of the candidates there
for, and although / have SO far
based my claims strictly upon my
own record and qualifications,
your campaign speakers and your
self have not by persistent attacks
been able to impeach my ability
and the management of the af-
fairs of my department, nor of
my saving $201,00O on the Mis-
qually power plant. Nor have you
shown that the expenditure of
$500, 900 additional on the Green
river gravity system caused while
you were commissioners was not
due to your own mismanagement
and incompetency.
1t will be conceded, / believe,
that you and l are the two most
interested parties and in the best
position to be acquainted with
the facts of the various subjects
under discussion and of which the
people of this city will be without
doubt glad to learn. would
therefore suggest that joint
meeting between us be held In
some large hall on Saturday even
ing of this week, where the voters
of this city, that jury to whom
you and / must submit, could be
present and judge for themselves
who should be selected for the po-
sition to which we both aspire. :.
1t Is assumed that the expense
of renting a hall would be equally
shared by each of us and in order
to arrange therefor a reply during
the day will be appreciated.
HAMILTON F. GRONEN,
Commissioner Light and Water.
81 don't know; / haven't con-
sidered 1t. What's the use any
way? We couldn't gain anything
by it."
So said Nick Lawson this after
noon when asked If he would ac-
cept Gronen's challenge.
H. A. Bodecker, tailender in the
recent race, advised against the
debate and Lawson indicated he
would not accept the offer.

BOMB BURSTS
AT RED BANK
Man Loses Hand Taking 1t
From Union Meeting.

Red Bank, April 4:-By the explo-
sion of a bomb which Andrew Shliski
was carrying from a meeting called
to organize a branch of the Garment
Workers Union Tuesday night, he
lost his left hand. He was taken to
the Monmouth Memorial Hospital at
Long Branch, where an operation
was performed on the injured mem
Der. While his condition is serious
it is expected that he will recover.
Chief of Police Wymbs and County
Detective Minugh are making an in
vestigation.
Shliski, who has been employed in
Eisner's garment factory, was one
of the several hundred who attended
the meeting. The presiding officer
was Charles Mario, head of the Gar
ment Workers Union, who was
asked to come here and organize a
branch of the organization. He had
been speaking about five minutes
when he noticed a dark looking OBJ
ject along the side of the room, and
he asked that it be removed. Some
one in the hall told Shliski to carry
it outdoors.
Oullshl ndd reached Il pOluI ABOUT
800 feet from the hall when the
bomb exploded with a report that
could be heard several blocks. Shlis-
HI was knocked down and then ran
to his home, about a quarter of a
mile away. Meanwhile the police
had been called and the injured man
told his story to Chief Wymbs. 1t
was seen that he had lost a lot of
blood and was in danger Of bleed
ing to death, when an automobile
was procured and he was hurried to
the hospital.
No one seems to know how the
bomb got into the meeting room,
which was on West street IN what Is
known as Columbus hall. The other
day a boy called on the chief of po-
lice with a bomb which he said he
had found in a closet In the hall.
He said, according to the chief, that
there yer two more there. The
officer sent him back for the others,
but when he got to the hall he found
it closed. The bomb that he had
was given to the chief, and 1t was
said this morning that 1t was in the
safe In the town hall.

the adjourned meeting of the coun-
ell Monday night hat he be given
w to secure an associate counsel
to look after the borough's interests
in defending the town in the assign
ment suits against the Harrison
Construction Company. Mr.. Acker-
son stated that the borough was an
innocent party to these affairs, but
as the Harrison Construction Com
pany has not as yet finished the sew
er system, their interests should be
looked after.
1t was stated that an associate
counsel would cost the borough no
2ore money than the present ar
rangement but on a vote the resolu-
ton offered to this effect was lost.

system now in progress was

account of the money still due the
contractors.

the contract to lay water mains In
the lower part of the town, reported
that the work had been done and

Superintendent of Public Works and
ordered paid, but the extras which

the Superintendent tot Public Works
and were not ordered paid.

other minor topics the council ad-
