Headed by Frank Berry, secre-
taIy of the Purse Net Fisherinen's
Protective association, and a score
of Tacoma fishermen waited on
the city council with "a committee
from the Commercial club Tues
day morning to see what solution
could he reached to provide an
chOrage for the fishermen's boats.
There are about rs boats each
employing eight men. They want
anchorage at Old Town. They
are willing to pay a reasonable
rental and it will require the ac-
quiring of ground on the water
front and constru ction of an ex-
tensive breakwater.
w. A. Whitman was deputized
to see what land could be pur-
chased and the price. The city
engineers will draw up general
plan and make estimates for the
work and then the city will see
whether it can finance the deal.
Peter David, former king or
Old Town, said that unless some
thing is done to provide ample
accommodations many of the Ia
coma fishermen are lidely to move
to Seattle which is making a bid
for them.
The city will take care of them
here in some way, it is believed.

LAWYER IN
MIX-UP

CHARLESTON, w. Va, June
United Press.)-Miners
in the new river district conven-
tion tomorrow will vote whether
or not to strike. Organizers
among the mine workers are
holding off the men until the SEN
ate finishes its probe.
At the senate session this
morning where the probe is being
coJiducted Senator Martin of New
Jersey and C. G. Watts, lawyer
for the coal operators, clashed Bit
tegly. Watts shouted: I'VE de-
mand that you cease brow-beat-
ing. The fact that you are a SEN
ator gives you no right to be a
'czar. West Virginia knows how
to take care of her own people.
This state does not need to go to-
mosauito ridden swamps of New
Jersey to learn lessons on sani-
Itation."
This angered Martin to a fight
ing pitch. The committee room
rang with denunciations from
both sides. Senator Swanson re-
buked Watts and explained that
Martin was within his rights.

Miss Anna johnson,
BY w. III. ALBURN.

DELAVAN, Wis.,, June IA
second Helen Keller has just ap-
peared, graduating with high hon.
ors at the Wisconsin School for
the Deaf.
Anna Pauline johnson of Col
fax, Wis, has. triumphed over
blindness and dumbness, as Miss
Keller did. And more than that,
she has triumphed over poverty
and illness which left her a help
less cripple.
Now, nearly 23, after nine years
of the hardest toll that can fall
to the lot of a student, she is a
bright, cherry, womanly girl, with
a well-furnished mind and a tire
less eagerness for knowledge.
Anna, handicapped more than
all the rest, has learned to speak
better than any of thems and as
Miss Hammond deftly read my
questions into her palm by the
manual alphabet" she answered
them unhesitatingly, in a voice
slightly strained, but with perfect
articulation and faultless English.
She told me how as a littfe
girl she had gone to the public
school at Eau Claire, Wis, for
three or four years, and had
learned to speak English Cher
family spoke only Norwegian at
home) and had been so eager to
learn! And then, little by little,
her eyes had grown dim. And at
last, when she was nine years
old, she could see nothing at all.
A few days before Christmas,
in 1901, there was sudden snap
in her head, and she could not
hear any more, not even a loud
noise.
That was the end of her school
days. Her parents were poor, the
family was large and they could
do little for her. Her dulled
senses were an impossible wall.
And before long, as is the way
with the deaf, she lost her power
of speech.
There were four years of this
isolation. But the brave little
spirit would not yield to despair.
She was sure that somebody could
do something to lift the gloom.
The idea grew upon her until she
began to write letters-pitiful,
scrawly, little letters-to people
she remembered who she thought
might help her.
One of her letters came into
the hands of a man of Influence,
who had her entered as student
in the School for the Deaf.
They began teaching her the
manual alphabet, conveying the
letters through her hand, by
touch, and soon she could under
,stand readily. Then they slowly
revived her power of speech. Al
the end of year she was ma1-
ing rapid strides.
Then another blow fell. An
ailment developed that made II
necessary to amputate her right
leg. She lay in the hospital for
months, and missed a year oi
school. But when she came back

FISHERMEN WANT
COLD STORAGE
PLANT

Tacoma fishermen who called
at the city hall Tuesday morning
are unit for the city building
that municipal cold storage plant
at the 11th street dock.
"We need cold storage and a
fish mardet the worst kind said
one brawny, sea-beaten fisherman.
Yes, IL we had cold storage 1t
would be a great benefit to the
fishermen and the people, too,v
said Frank Berry, urging the cold
storage on the mayor.
There are times in the fall
when we have to sell our fish
for as low as five cents apiece.
This is for a big fish weighing SIX
to eight pounds. II the fish could
be taken at this time when they
are cheap and frozen and put In
cold storage 1t would be big
thing for the fishermen and would
later make fish cheaper for the
people"
1t is figured that fish at five
cents could be frozen and kept in
cold storage and sold for big
profit at 10 cents.
