LAUNDRY UNION
ORGANIZERS
SUCCESSFUL

Tacoma laundry workers are
being unionized much to the
chagrin of some of the proprie-
tors who view the situation with
alarm and are attempting to make
it warm for the organizer, James
F. Brock, grand president of the
international Laundry Workers
union.
Brock came to Tacoma last
week. He sent letter to the
workers and got 142 of them to
meeting Friday night and 1872
signed up the roll for q local
union. Another meeting will be
held at 721 Commerce street Fri
day night at which time it is ex-
pected the organization will be
completed
A determined effort will be
made to get all laundry workers
into the union and then their
wages will be forced up. The
minimum in San Francisco Is So.

Doctor Soule
is Made Boy
Scout Leader

The Boy Scout movement got a.
big boost in Tacoma today when
the park board appointed DIR. F.
j. Soule as city scout commits
sionef.
He will devote his time to the
work of organizing and supervis-
ing the Boy Scouts and it is ex-
pected that hundreds of the
youngsters will be enlisted in the
movement in the next few months.
N. d. Moser, one OF. the scout
leaders, this morning received a
telegram of eongratulation from
James West, secretary at national
headquarters in New York, ex-
pressing qualification at the Lead
ership Tacoma was manifesting.
in the Scout movement and an-
nouncing that Tacoma will be
looked upon as headquarters in
the Northwest.

We have fired the office boy.
We hated to do it, but we had
to,
He lied to us, but that is not
why we fred him.
He said this morning that his
grandmother was dead and that
the funeral would be held this
afternoon.
Ordinarily we called our office
boy Jimmie" or "Hey, you!" or
"Ho, kidd" But now We called
him "James."
James," we said, "you are
telling an untruth. Your grand
mother either is not dead or she
died long time ago. She did
not die recently, and her funeral
will not be held this afternoon.
James looked us squarely. earn
estly, in the eye, and repeated the
assertion that his grandmother
had sloughed off the coil and that
the obsequies were pending-and
could he please get the afternoon
off to drop a grandfiliah tear on
the bier?
We led James to the cashiers
office. We placed weeks wage
in his hand. We bade him good
by. But first we spoke from the
heart.
James," we said, "before you
leaves us it is fitting that you
should know why exactly we cam
not continue in the relation which,
we hope, has been as pleasant and
profitable to you as 1t has to us.
1t is not because You are not a
good office boy that you must
leave us. It is not because You
told lie. 1t is-it is---Oh, James,
it is because you told such q rot
ten, such an obvious, such a trans
parent Iie!"
James hung his head and burst
into sobs.
Had you come to us, James,"
we continued, land said: Please,
sir, may / get off this afternoon
for the opening game?'--if YOU
had done that, James, all would
have been we'll. Or IL you had
invented a really good lie; some
thing original, something bizarre,
we would have given you the aft
ernoon off, even IL We had known
you were lying.
.But the Grandmother lie!
James, Jamesi"
We know the weatherman per-
sonaily. He is in our opinion a
scholal- and gentleman. We
wish him nothing but good luck.

BIG CASE UP In
COURT TODAY

What promises to be the big
gest case the federal court has
tackled for many moons opened
before Judge Cushman this morn-
ing in the trial of Sam Levy,
Henry Suwol and Sam Kaufman
of Aberdeen on the charge of con-
spiracy to defraud.
They are entangled in an In
dictment charging them with hav-
ing conspired to cheat creditors
in a bankruptcy action by secret
ing the stock of goods carried in
store at Aberdeen. The amount
involved was about $4,000.
Following the case, Il. G. Be1d-
ing, a Seattle politician, will be
tried for tampering with a wit
ness.
The jury was completed this
afternoon and the taking of tes-
timony started.

MISS MARGARET BURNS

Margaret Burns, Tacoma's most
ardent fanette, has been commits
stoned by the Times to write the
story of the opening game be-
tween the Tigers and the VancOu-
yer Beavers
The trouble with most baseball
writer's is that they are Iow-brOw.
Their language is coarse and rude
and not calculated to please re-
fined lady readers, even If they
could understand 1t.
For example, when our own
ruffianly s. e. pens, "Nordyke
turkey-trotted to the trocha to
WELD the bludgeon, and fractured
the capsule down the starboard

alley for a pair of pillows, while
Neighbors attempted grand lar
ceny of the third angle" only
rude male readers, as vulgar as
himself, have the slightest notion
what he is writing about.
Miss Burns, who won the prize
in the Times election last season
to determine who was the most
enthusiastic and popular fanette
in Tacoma, is well qualified to
write about the opening game.
She knows the finer points of the
game as we'll as any low-visaged
sporting editor.
She is sure to write entertain
ingly, lucidly and wittily. Watch
for her story tomorrow.

OVER FIFTY PERISH
IN TEXAS FLOODS
Scores of Others Reported in
Imminent Peril.
RAILROAD OFFICIAL VICTIM.
Property Loss Will Reach Four or
Five Million Dollars-High Water
Blocks Lifesaving Crew and
Train Load Of Boats.

Bryan, Tex-A death roll of more
than so persons, with scores of flood
refugees in imminent peril, and pos
sibly thousand others marooned and
suffering from prolonged hunger and
cold, was indicated by the latest re-
ports from the flooded Brazos River
bottoms, in this section of Southern
trail Texas. For over so miles the
Brazos was three to five miles wide
and running with millrace speed.
The known dead in Texas floods
numbered SO before reports from the
inundated territory in this district be-
gan coming in. The late reports were
brought by men on horseback, and
indicated at least 20 more persons had
been drowned. About two-thirds of
the dead were negroes.
The courier's reports indicated that
the property loss would total $4,000
900 or 100000 when losses along
the Brazos are added to the already
heavy damage in other portions of the
State.
Henry Martin, vice-president and
general manager of the International
and Great Northern Railroad, was
drowned at Valley Junction, near here,
while attempting to rescue marooned
flood victims. Mr. Martin went to
Valley Junction, where the confluence
of the Little and Big Brazos Rivers
made a swirling lake, six miles across,
to personally direct the roads relief
forces, and was attempting to navi-
gate boat alone when the frail craft
was upset. His body had not been
recovered tonight
Six members of the life-saving
crew stationed at Galveston and a
trainload of motorboats from Hous-
ton, which started for Bryan, were
| stopped by high water at Navasota.
| The boats were launched at that point
| shortly before dark and started up
/ stream over the flooded bottoms to
| rescue persons reported clinging to
trees, housetops or occasionally stand
/ ing in shallow water cut off from
shore. Bryan had 20 boats out all
day, which brought to high ground
several hundred persons, the majority
/ terrified and half-clad negroes.
/ Prominent planters in the bottoms
have refused offers of rescue, sending
out their wives and children to Bryan,
but themselves remaining behind in
the water, tearing down portions of
their buildings to improvise platforms
for their stock. Anxiety is felt for
the safety of several planters.

IN DEADLOCK
WITH JAPANESE
Resources of Diplomacy Ex-
hausted on Alien Land Law.
TOXIC NOTES NOT ANSWERED
Island Empire Maintains Treaty Rights
Are Invaded; the United
State Asserts the
Contrary.

Washington. The channels of
diplomatic correspondence between
Japan and the United States over the
California Alien Land law have been
exhausted, without results, and any
action looking to an adjustment of the
tangle must come from new move
by one power or the other.
The correspondence was exhaustive
and the last note presented by Japan
many weeks ago remain unanswered
at the State Department, for the rea-
son, it is said, that, despite the numer-
Gus exchanges, the controversy re-
manned exactly where it was at the
start
1t is understood that Japan through
out maintained that its treaty rights
were invaded by the law, while the
United States has persistently asserted
the contrary.

PACKING PLANT BURNED.
Chesapeake Company's Property In
Talbot Destroyed.

St. Michaels.-The oyster and fruit
packing establishment of the Chesa-
peak Packing Company. at Lewes
Wharf, Sherwood, Talbot county, to-
gether with its contents, including
1000 bushels of oysters, was destroy
ed by fire. The plant of the Sherwood
Packing Company, which is located on
the opposite side of the wharf, was
saved with great difficulty. Raymond
Harrison, one of the proprietors of the
latter company, was badly burned
about the face and head while fighting
the flames away from his plant. The
fire started in one of the upper rooms
of the building, which was occupied
by negro oyster shuckers as living
quarters, and a 7-months-o negro
baby daughter of Sherman Whiting
ton, which was asleep in the room in
which the fire started was burned to
death before it's parents, who were
shucking oysters, on the lower floor,
were aware that the building was in
flames. The loss to the Chesapeake
Packing Company will be about $4,000,
partly covered by insurance.

Jap Competition Too Much.

For years the japanese population
in California has been increasing, and
Japanese immigrant laborers have pc
come landowners and farmers.
The remarkable advance of the
japanese from reon to producer is re-
sponsible for the strenuous efforts of
the Californians to get rid of them.
The japanese have displaced the
whites first from the jobs and then
from the land The white farmers
cannot compete with the japanese;
they are being driven out of their
homes by the japanese; the japanese
are acquiring some of the best farm
ing lands of the State, and already
they are said to control 80 per cent
of its agriculture
