HUERTA'S GOVERNMENT READY TO FALL
DEMAND FEDERAL INVESTIGATION OF SEATTLE TROUBLE
SIR TEDDY DRAKE, KNIGHT

American lake James H. Bruce so, of 1902 No.
Anderson ST., and Sir Teddy's parents Mr. and
Mrs. Z. N. E. Drake went canoeing The craft
upset
Among those who went to the rescue was Ted
Drake who had promised to be "a friend to ev-
cry living creature
Grasping Bruce by the hair, the boy struck
out for shore He did not know that Bruce was
dead, though DR.. p B. Swearingen, who was
hastily summoned, found that Bruce died from
dilation of the heart the instant he struck the
cold water.
Long and stubbornly the boy held to his task
the inert weight in his grasp. More than once
his strength seemed to fail, but he fought on
shoreward. Finally, when the boy was seized by
friends, the hair of the dead man slipped from
his clutching fingers and the body sank.
Meanwhile others had rescued Mr.. and Mrs.
Drake.
Taking but minutes rest, the boy dove for
and recovered the body.
Ted Drake is strong swimmer He is one of
the best liked of the Tacoma Boy Scouts
When good King Arthur ruled, boys were
trained for knighthood so that they might excel
in feats of arms The newer way is the finer
way, and it teaches finer chivalry that the old
knights knew
No staggering bully can win place in this
new order. There is no room in it for syncho
phants time servers and snobs. On it will one
day be builded an aristocracy untainted by snob-
berry and without the dollar mark.
May there never be blot on the 'scutcheon of
Sir Teddy Drake knight!

Tacoma Elks, Lady Elks, and
Riddles Play i'm Ocean Surf

Five hundred Tacoma Elks,
with nearly twice as many rela-
tives and friends, went to see yes
terday.
They saw; they bathed: they
frolicked. And they returned late
last night begrimed, dusty and
tired, but effer vescing with the
joy of pleasant day pleasantly

The big excursion of Tacoma

was huge success. Two great
excursion trains, containing near
ly 1,400 persons, left Tacoma at
O'Clock in the morning, spent all
afternoon on the soft, velvety
sands of the ocean beach, and re-
turned late in the evening.
The raptures of the ocean surf

FRANK enthusiasm. Old men and

everybody at the beach-forgot
his modesty for the day and jerk
ed off shoes and stockings to wade
out in the foamy water.
Hundreds of people went in
bathing, and lolled about on the
sands after their plunge in the
cool ocean waves. The Quinault
Indians gave>an exhibition of surf
riding in a big Indian canoe. Ice
cream stands were sold out early
in the day, and ice water was at
a premium.
The Tacoma Elks were aug
mented at the beach by an ex-
cursion train filled with Elks
from Hoquiam, Aberdeen, Elma
and Centralia. 1t was one of the
largest crowds ever gathered at
Moclips, and the weather man

PUNVSUTAWNEY, Pa, July
21.-With the coils of a 25-foot
python gradually Tightening
around his body, James H. Stem

death only through the power Of
music.
Stenger was experimenting the

turned like a flash and in an in

around Stenger.
Mile. La Beneto, a snake
charmer, came running on the
scene with her flageolet between
her lips.
She began playing a low weird
melody. Raising his head, the
big python began to sway in
rhythm with the player and the
music and gradually loosened it's
folds about Stenger, who was not
seriously hurt.
Since then the python has be-

JUST FOR A
REAL CONTRAST
BY BERTON BRALEY.

BY BERTON BRALEY.
The sleighbells jingle, jingle,
The air with frost a-tingle,
And from our cozy ingle
We look out on the snow.
There's ice upon the river,
The passing people shiver,
The mercury doth culver
At zero or below.
We hear the sidewalks creaxing,
The chill winds moaning, Shrek
ing,
And gratefully we're seeking
The comfort of the fire.
To keep the furnace nav full
Makes coal bills simply awful.
1t ought to be unlawful
To raise the prices higher!
The water pipes are freezing,
With fearful colds we're sneez-

We find the fact displeasing
That we must sniff and cough.
CThis poem of frost and freezin
Is wholly out of season,
And simply for that reason
May help to cool you off!)

MESSAGE OF PROTEST TO
PRESIDENT WILSON.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1913-07-21

Los ANGELES, July 21.-(By
telegram of protest was sent to
President Wilson by Thomas
Williams, secretary-treasurer of
the socialist party of California:
Socialism Is opposed to vio-
Ience, whether praeticed by mob
or resorted to by. the government
to suppress free speech. The sta
bility of the government is threat
ened when its employees take IL
cense taken from an intemperate
speech of a superior officer to en-
danger life and property. One
million Americans believe in the
Red flag, its international en-
blem of peace and brotherhood.
To depOrt all these would be a
herculean task. Disgraceful scenes
in Seattle do more to discredit our
government than all. the mouth
ing of irresponsibles. We urge
federal investigation and ask you
to take immediate steps TO pre-
vent a recurrence of this deplor-
able incident"
SEATTLE, July 2f.-(By Unit
ed Press. with the socialists
and Industrialists preparing to re-
open headquarters here today, the
enemies of Mayor Cotterill urging
a recall against him for the fall
ure of the police to suppress riots
which marked the last two days
of Seattle's Potlatch, and his ac-
tion in placing the city under riot
law, there is a feeling of unrest
in Seattle today.
The socialists demand an inves-
tigation and have prepared a me-
mortal to the president urging
speedy governmental inyestiga-
tion.
Mayor Cotterill today issued a
long statement defending his ac-
tion. Explaining the attitude of
the police he said today: "The
police were held off by the order
of the chief who decided it would
be better to avoid bloodshed than
prevent the destruction of prop
erty."
