FLEEING GIRL
IS HUMAN
MAILBAG
FAST EXPRESS PICKS UP FUGI-
TIVE FROM MAIL GRILLE
TRAVELLING so MILES

While fleeing from detectives,
Emily Powell, a 22-year-old New
York girl, took her life in her
hands recently by mounting to
the mail platform at a suburban
railroad station just in time to
be caught up by fast mail train
travelling at so miles an hour.
Miss Powell escaped unhurt but
was captured an hour later on in
formation given the train con-
ductor by telegraph.
The girl was leaving her home
to meet her fiance, Arnold Kent,
who had absconded from the Mer-
chants Trust company leaving a
deficit of $4,000.
Detectives were on her trail
who we're looking for the embez-
zler. A most unusual ending to
the case winds up one of the best
detective films ever shown in Ia
coma. 1t is entitled "a Flight
From Justice" and will be at
the Melbourne theater tomorrow
and Monday.
Detectives are shown in a new
light in this photo-play story. 1t
is not the domineering, buster
ing, brow-beating kind Of de-
tective who solves this riddle, but
one with the milk of human kind
ness running through his veins.
You will like him.

Pretty Musical Comedy
Heads Vaudeville Bill

Fun, fast and furious, is the
keynote of "a Matrimonial Con-
test" which headlines the new
weeks bill at the Pantages thea
ter, or rather, which is one of
the headline acts. for there are
two.
"A Matrimonial Contest is a
clever musical comedy with
large company of pretty" girls
and clever young comedians. Its
plot is matrimonial contest in
which a number of bellies of I'M
certain age are angling for a
lone man. The comedy of the
sketch is said to be convulsing
from beginning to end.
The second headline feature is
one familiar to Tacoma audiences
for Allisky's Hawaiians are now
on their second tour of the cir
cult. They were here several
months ago when their music,
singing and dancing charmed the
patrons of the Pantages.
Miss Dorothy Vaughn, one Of
the particularly bright stars of
Madame Sherry" has entered
vaudeville and will be on the new
bill which begins Monday. None
of Miss Vaughn's songs have
been heard in local vaudeville.
Clever dances, songs and com
vulsing comedy are dispersed
freely by Carter and Waters in
their newest skit. The American
Trumpeters Trio is a combination
of clever instrumentalists whose
banjo playing is sensation.
There are two pretty girls and a
man in the organization. There
will also be new motion pictures
and special music by the Pan
tages concert orchestra under the
direction of w. Laurier Small.

He nearly succeeds. In fact,
the audience is in a spasm of I'M

abruptly. But the CROOK does
not escape with the loot-ihe is
not arrested-the story Is kept at

a triple wedding on the stage, in

RACE FOR CHAMPIONSHIP

Bertel auckland will race Irvine
Sherman at the roller rink tonight
Sherman now holds the championship
of North Dakota and Buckland has
won the local championship. Both
men have shown a great deal OF
speed in minor races at the rink and
it is believed that tonight's race will
be the fastest held this winter.
Some discussion has been caused as
to which kind of start should be
used. Buckland prefers starting on
opposite sides of the rink while Sher-
man believes that both should start
together. A coin will be tossed to
decide on this question. A large
number is expected to be present as
considerable interest has been shown
in this race.

While this action il q plain viola
ton Of the usual intercollegiate anna

on the part of the Oklahoma associa-
ton that it cannot control or eiimi-
nate the evil of summer baseball, and
that honesty demands recognition
OF the fact.
Viewed from some points, the action
of the Oklahoma association should be
approved, because there will no longer
be any deception connected with col
lege baseball. The Oklahoma men
realize baseball men In America are
subject to temptations not offered to
men participating in other forms Of
college sport. To prevent any pos
sible contamination Of the amateurism
Of other forms Of college sports they
have ruled that professional baseball
men shall not represent their colleges

He feints for the further foot of his
