REPEAL
PASSES
\ HOUSE

WASHINGTON, d. c., April /.
by vote of 247 to 161 the
house of representatives last
evening adopted the resolution to
repeal the provision OF the canal
Oil exempting American vessels
from payment of tolls. The vote
came after one of the stormiest
sessions in the history OF Ameri-
can politics, and was attended by
one of the most tense situations
ever experienced in congress.
An ultimatum was conveyed
from the White House to men,
bers OF the senate canals commit
tee today that unless the canal
tolls repeal measure be reported
promptly, the administration sup
porters would summarily force
the committees hand. In the
meantime, the senate decks are
being cleared for q fight expected
to eclipse that on the floor of
the lower house.
The delivery OF the ultimatum
was preceded by a conference be-
tween President Wilson and Sem
ator Owne, the presidents spokes-
man on the floor of the senate.
II was through Owen that the ad-
ministration's message was con-
veyed to Chairman O'Gorman of
the senate canals committee.
The committee will be given a
week to consider the resolution.

THUGS
IN NORTH END
BEAT WOMAN

Waiting for a Point Defiance
street car ut North 45th and
Pearl streets early last evening,
Mrs. Ethel Gibson, wife of Jo-
seph Gibson, 45O3 North Bristol
street, was roughly attacked by
two strange men.
Ralph Darling, a young man
living at 5112 North Quine street,
who had accompanied Mrs. Glib
son to the street car crossing, was
beaten almost to the point of in
sensibility when he attempted To
rescue Mrs. Gibson from the
brutes. During the one-sided bat.
tie between the wOman's protector
and the two ruffians, Mrs. Gibson
escaped and rushed into the home
of Mrs. +. j. Wallace, 1906 North
Vischer street, where she fell in
a faint. Darling was released by
the strangers few moments later
and staggered to a place of safety.
He was beaten brutally, and bled
from numerous wounds.
Mrs. Gibson had carried an
electric torch In her hand when
she walked to the street car
tracks, to guide her through the
dark over the uneven sidewalks.

Hopkins arrest, but the news
leaked out, and hundreds of per-
sons had gathered at the depot.
George Ball, the suspected Great
Northern train robber, came ON
the same train with another off
Ger. Both prisoners, who are
charged with murderous atroci-
ties, were hustled into a waiting
automobile, while their guards
held revolvers ready in anticipa-
ton of an outbreak among the
crowd. They were rushed to the
county jail, locked up, and imme-
diately placed under heavy guard.
Hopkins is reticent. Prosecu-
tor Beagle. however, declared to-
day that he had practically posi-
tive evidence connecting him with
the murder of Tony Olson of Ia
coma, and possibly two other men
Saturday night.

SECRETARY OF COMMERCE.
AND LABOR MUCH IMPRESS
ED WITH POSSIBILITIES IN
NORTHWEST - "UNTHINK-

"Cntliinkable."

That is the opinion of Secre-
tary Redfield as to the CONNER
cial and industrial development
possible in the Northwest, ex.
pressed as he stepped off the Kit
sap at 12:4O this afternoon from
Seattle.
II is his first trip to the North.
west.
II marvel mt the possibilities
here; you yourselves do not pos.
sibly comprehend what the fu.
ture has in store" said the Sec
rotary.
He was accompanied from Sc
attic by party of about 20 of
the local democrats. He stepped
from the boat with Governor Lis
ter and w. r. Rust and was
whisked to the Commercial club
for luncheon. This was a strict
ly democratic affair.
This afternoon the secretary
will be shown Tacoma and the
waterfront and tideflats and this
evening banquet will be given
at the Commercial club with
plates at $3.50 each.
HE is all right" said Com
missioner Mills, who came over
on the boat with him. 1.-The Sec
rotary is man of ability and
grasp and 1t is good to meet him."
Secretary Redfield had no
statement on government issues
for the press.
II am just here spending three
weeks getting acquainted with
the men in the department before
an engagement in California"
said he. He talked freely on all
matters. the seaman's bill, Pa
mama tolls, how to get around
the abolishing of free tolls So as
to not lessen the advantage to
American shipping-he was open
and frank on all uestions-but
he never dropped a word to show
which side he was on.

Owing to the narrow walks, Darl-
ing had remained behind her as
they walked to Pearl street. Mrs.
Gibson still held the torch in her
hand while they waited for the
car. but had extinguishsd the
light.
As they waited at the crossing,
a dark figure sneaked cautiously
towards them, made q grab at the
torch, and started to run. Mrs.
Gibson screamed, and Darling
struck at the thug. The stranger
turned and began fighting. Just
as Darling was getting the better
OF him, a second ruffain came
from the darkness and assisted his
companion in brutally whipping
the youth. During the fight, Mrs.
Gibson crept away. Darling said
afterwards that when the two ruff
fans had beaten and overpowered
him they kicked him about the
head and then sped off at brisk
run down Pearl street.
The assault occurred in Taco
ma, just across the Pearl street
boundary from Ruston, where re-
cent fights have occurred among
smelter strikers and strikebeak-
ers.

MOUNT VERNON, April L.
With the anger of Mount Vernon
residents increasing hourly to the
extent that an attempted jail de-
livery is feared, dozens of extra
guards were placed about the
Mount Vernon county Jail today
when Charles Hopkins, the tot
tooed bandit" is confined. No at
tempt has been made to break
into the jail, but residents of this
section are aroused to high
pitch over the prisoners murder

have been freely passed about the
streets.
Hopkins was brought last night
from Van Horn, where he was
arrested by Deputy Sheriff e. j.
