Want WORK?
CITY JOBS
GO BEGGING

IL Tacomans in need of work
would only take advantage of the
city hall civil service examina-
tions, they might find themselves
some nice fat city jobs.
There have been practically no
applicants for city jobs recently,
no one appearing for several of
the recent examinations, and the
lists of "eligibles" are growing
small.
No applicants could be found
recently when examinations were
held for ss0-a-month stokers for
the fire service. At another ex-
animation for drivers of horse
drawn city apparatus, only two
men took the tests, and they both
were given jobs the next day,
leaving no eligfbles for future va
cancies.
Il don't understand 1t, but
they don't seem to want jobs"
said Secretary Ellsworth of the
civil service bureau today. Il
never knew of a time in the his
tory of civil service that the eligf-
BILE list was so low"

pany. There he met Miss Cox, a
Photographer for Mogg. After
Repeated refusals she finally took
lunch with Edwards.
The Girls Shows Up.
A few weeks later Miss Cox
went to st. Paul for a visit.
She testified Edwards sent her
q ticket from st. Paul. His testi-
monY was that he gave her So
for iReidentals, but no ticket.
MIS- Cox told a story in her
bread of promise suit OF going
TO a fashionable st. Paul restau-
rant with Edwards and waking
up the next morning in . disrepu-
table. house. Edwards did not
denyt this, but the government
needed evidence that he paid her
way to another state to obtain
the indictment.
The breach of promise suit was
Instituted in st. Paul before the
white slave indictment was forth
coming. The case was remanded
for a new trial. In the second
trial Miss Cox won judgment of
$4,000.
In the interval between the
two trials Charles De Woody, an
investigator for the department
of histice, looked into the case
for IT'S bearing on the Mann act.
Thef United States district attor-
Dey there refused to prosecute
after an investigation.
Did She Confess?
II is Alleged that De Woody
obtained a confession from Miss
Cox in which she told of intimacy
with several other men before
meeting Edwards. This, il is
said, for some reason, was sup
pressed. This confession, IL
true, might have defeated the

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-.-I will
ruin him socially. mentally, ply
sieally and financially.
Such was the threat attribut-
ed to Ada NJ. Cox, stenographsr,
against William Rufus Edwards,
st. Paul lumberman.
"She has made good" declares
Mrs. edwards, the beautiful
young bride of the man indicted
as a white SLAYER"
William Rufus Edwards, his
bride says, is wreck in a pri-
vate sanitarium in Hayden
Springs, Wash. Here is his con-
dition:

MENTALLY-He is i'm

PHYSICALLY-He is a
nervous wreck. In five
months his heavy black hair
has turned snowy white.
FINANC1ALLY-Miss Cox

breach of promise Judgment
for ST., 500 against him.
So have the words of the
prophecies, if they are hers, come
true
Then up from the scarlet mire
of scandal, of good names erased
and futures darkened, rises a
heroic figure-the faithful young
bride. ~
SHE WON'T BELIEVE IT.
Bride Faithful.
She married Edwards when the
shame of an alleged violation of
the white slave law was upon
him. Sharing the stigma of a
crime that the world views with
uplifted eyebrows she made his
fight her fight. She faced the
accusing glances of the people
of st. Paul with fortitude thai
was inspiring.
Instead OF avoiding the women
of her city she went among them.
She appeared before the women
clubs and told them what she be-
lieved to be the truth about her
husband. They argued with her
at first.
Finally they were convinced.
Now no one in ST. PauIss be-
lieves Edwards guilty. The Unft-
ed States district attorney re
fused to prosecute the case.
That IL why Mrs. Edwards. :
niece of seBstor Moses Clapp OF
Minnesota, has filed sffidavits
with the federal officials with the
request that the indictment be set
aside.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Sept. 2s.
The navy department has or
dered the United States battle
ships Texas. Rhode Island and
Minnesota, now in Hampton
Rhodes, to go at once to Vera
Cruz.
Although the dispatch of the
vessels to the trouble zone in
Mexico oecasioned much specu-
lstion here as to the intentions
of the government In the present
southern squabble, officials here
declare that the order for the
vessels to go south was issued
before any knowledge of the
rupture between Villa and Car
eminent. IL is also declared that
no new mobilization in Mexican
waters is intended.
Strict Neutrality.
The American governments
policy, 1t was again asserted to-
day, will be one of strict neu-
trality In the Villa-Carranza
split. The president, it is stated,
is greatly annoyed by reports
that the United States leans to-
wards one of the two factions in
the dispute.
To See villa.
George Carrothers, special
agent of the state department, is
en- route to Chihuahua City,
where he will confer with villa.
IL is understood that Carrothers
will investigate and report on the
fate of General Obregon, who was
arrested by Villa. War officials
here said Ii is doubtful just
when American troops will evacu-
ate Vera Cruz.

treat when he found his troops
