Several hundred Turks and

the Stadium last night in quite
an unexpected manner when
"Stromboli," the monster vol
cano, suddenly started erupting
before the scheduled time. The
unusual action of Stromholi

The Egyptian dance, AMI vivid
play given in connection with
Stromboli's eruption last n;ght

Music by the massed bands was
the kind that sets the feet to
tapping, and the entire show vas
most heartily received by the
great throngs. Stromboi will

ROOSEVELT
TAKES RAP
AT WILSON

OYSTER BAY, July 3.--De-
elaring that President WIS On
should lose the respect of the
American people il the treaty
with Column bia providing for the
payment of $25, 100000, Col.
Roosevelt last night issued a
statement as the result of the
attack of James T. Dubois, for
mer minister of Columbia, who
assailed the ex-president for
criticising Wilson in his dealings
with the southern republic.
Roosevelt said:
II have nothing to say about
Mr.. Dubois" the colonel said I'm
his statement. He was merely
an instrument.
Mr.. Wilson is responsible for
the payment of the blackmail TO
Colombia. Whether he did IL ON
his own initiative or at the In
stigation of Mr.. Bryan is wholly
unimportanr ana rJ is of infin-
itely less importance what par
tieular subordinate was chosen
to carry through the discredita-
BILE transaction or to apologize
for it in the public press.
Neither Mr.. Wilson nor Mr..
Bryan can answer my statement.
The payment il made will be a
naked payment of belated black
mail and the mere proposal to
make it is an outrage on the
honor and a heavy blow to the
interests of the American peo-
pie.
There is small wonder that
many hundreds of Americans in
Mexico have been endeavoring
to become British, German or
French subjects in order to get
some protection from some gov
eminent.
IAN administration that will
conclude such a treaty as this for
the payment of blackmail to Co
lombia has forfeited the right TO
the respect of the people of the
United States"

The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1914-07-03

In securing the temporary in
junction against the city clerk
the validity of the petitions are
attacked on several grounds. One
is that the petitions are insuffi-
eient because they don't comply
with the state recall law which
provides that signatures num-
bering rs per cent of the vote
at the last city election are nee
essary. Another is that there
are several flaws in the sigma
lures. Still another technically
upon which Mills hopes to knock
out the recall is that the recalIers
named him commissioner of Pub
lie safety instead of councilman
