power seemed To hold him there
against his will.
He turned 10 go. looked down the
road toward the bend that hid the
motor from sight. and took a couple
OF PAGES forward. Then ne stopped
and looked back into the wood. The
light was very close now, barely 20
yards away. The horn OF the motor
sounded out. Doubtless CARING had
finished his repairs and this was the
signal for his master TO return.

kept his eyes fixed on the light The
man. whoever he was. came up TO
the fence and climbed over IL at a
point a dozen yards farther up the
Hill. Treverton could not see his
face. but he could see that the man
was broad and tall. and that he was
carrying something over his shout
der that did not look like gun.
What are you doing there he
said sharply. and walked Up 10 the

TAX ON
GAS co

Peddlers of vegetables, fish
and foodstuffs were dealt with
harshly by the city council today,
during further debate over the
1916 license code.
The Tacoma Gas Co. was tagged
to pay a $4,000 annual tax.
John ID. Rockefeller and his
competitors in the gasoline busi-
ness will have 20 begin buying a
license Jan. fDr the right to sell
their fluid fuel. /
Secretary Mcpherson of the Re-
tail Groeers' association appeared
before the council and started
heated argument over the licen-
sing of food peddlers.
These peddiers are taking
away the legitimate profits of the
grocers," declared Mcpherson.
They jump in here with wagon
loads of fruit and vegetables that
are unfit for grocers to handle,
and peddle them about the city
at bargain prices. We don't want
to interfere with the farmers, but
we want these peddlers put out
of the way"
You bet, soak 1t to EN-"
calculated Commissioners Mills.
The council finally agreed to
charge license of $3.50 a year
or $50 quarterly for peddIers
with two-horse teams, and s12O
a year or $40 quarterly for those
with one-horse teams.
The Tacoma Gas Co. has never
paid a cent OF revenue to the city
for the privilege of selling gas
here, the council learned with
surprise today. City Attorney
Stiles had fixed tentative rate
of $500 license In the ordinance,
but the council jumped the sum
to $4,000.
Gasoline supply stations on
private property, where machines
have to cross the sidewalk to get
service, will hereafter pay $50 a
year license. Pump stations on
the curb will pay $40 a year.

Proprietor of
Savoy Now
Arrested In
DunbarCase

Charged with accepting the
earnings of a fallen woman, Jack
Anich, proprietor of the Savoy
hotel on Pacific avenue, was ar
rested today on the complaint of
the prosecuting attorney.
The arrest came as the result
of testimony offered in the trial
of Harold Regain, a jitney driver,
by Marie Dunbar, an lS-year-old
girl.
Regan Is charged with living
with her and forcing her to give
him all her earnings by threats.
Anich, who has been in the
hotel business in Tacoma 25
years, Is held on q charge similar
to that against Regain, and the
Dunbar girl is said to be the
woman in the case.
His bond was reduced today
from $4,000 to $3.50 cash bond.
First Arrest.
Judge Card disallowed all at
tempts on the part of Attorney
G. l.. Westcott to show Marie
Dunbar's past record. A petition
for an extension of time was
granted so that more witnesses
could be subpoenaed.
The Savoy hotel occupies the
triangle end of the Betz building
on lower Pacific ave. overlooking
the Northern Pacific passenger
yards. IL was modcrnized re-
Gently and has been considered
one of Tacoma S best hotels.
Spiro Davis, retained as attor-
ney for Anich, said today that
Anich had been one of the city's
best citizens for the past 25 years
He had always. been in business
here and had never been known
to be in trouble before, he said.
He would say nothing about the
relationship Of his client and the
woman in the case.

ton as will tend to make op-
portunity for workers great
err than demands for work
and keep them so, is recOm-
mended by Secretary of La
Dor Wilson In his annual re-
port to congress today.
To this end, and in order to
enable the department. to improve
its work of labor distribution, the
secretary strongly urged legisla-
ton for the utilization of public
lands and community credits.
1T will not be enough to hunt
'manless jobs for 'jobless men, /"
he said. ANY efficient public
employment service of a national
character must go beyond that.
Unless 1t does, the causes of in
voluntary unemployment will con-
tinue to express themselves to the
great prejudice Of the wage work.
ers of the United States and to
the harm of all Industrial inter-
ests."
Not Revolutionary.
Legislation for the Develop
ment of natural resources need
not be revolutionary, he declared.
Notbiny more Ia required than q
judicious utilization of govern
ment lands.
Extensive areas of unused
farming land in most of the states
might be acquired by the govern
ment, he suggested. for promot-'
ing labor opportunities as adj
vantageously as other areas have,
been acquired for the creation OF
public parks. ~
For such policy he says the
homestead laws seem to afford 4
legjslative basis.
Equipment for farming and
education In farming, as well as
place for farming, are needed,
