To his amazement he found

DISAGREE ON
TEXT OF NOTE
TO GERMANY!

vor the tone Of the note to
be sent TO Germany as
drafted by the president,
which made IL, I'm his Opin.
ion. virtually an ultimatum.
He said he would urge tom
ing It down" until the final hour
OF delivery. His name, as sec
rotary OF state, must be signed
to the note.
This was despite the fact that
the cabinet had fully backed the
presidents stand, over protest
made by Bryan.
Bryan's position 10 that since
the United States Is pledged to
arbitration, In international troll
BILE, 1t should leave the way open
In this note to q continuance Of
negotiations with Germany even
IL all demands are not met.
He thinks the present note is
so summary In its wording that
this is not possible.
Bryan's position came as a
complete surprise to President
Wilson. He had known his SEN
timent for arbitration. but sup
posed he would not continue the
fight after having been overruled
by the cabinet.
Today's disagreement, how
ever, is thought by many to indi-
cate the reason for the long de-
lay in sending the note.

EVANS SAYS HIS
COURTS NOT RUN
FOR THE REVENUE

Replying to the charge made
by Mayor Fawcett yesterday that
the revenues of police court were
dwindling and that 1t was caused
by inadequate fines on prisoners,
Police Judge Evans today de-
clared that his court was not a
money-making institution and
that he would handle it as he
chose.
IL have conducted this office
with the idea of discouragine
crime and causing an uplifting
influence on the persons who are
brought before me-" said Judge
Evans. 1T never has been my
intention to make it a revenue
producing office
Mayor Fawcett today made no
denial of the statement that he
had attempted to unseat Judge
Evans and replace him by either
Justices Linck or Graham, the
other judges of Tacoma precinct.

MEXICAN
MISERY
INTENSE

Telling instances of suffering
which would be incredible IL they
were not from so authoritative a
source, President Wilson today
appealed to the American people
to give generous aid to the Red
Cross fund for the relief of straw
ing Mexicans.
His appeal was sent to Gov.
Lister for the state of Washing
ton and to James M. Ashton, Red
Cross representative for Tacoma.
Included in the appeal was a
statement from national Red
Cross headquarters, of which
President Wilson is head, in
which these assertions are made:
Terrible Suffering.
In Mexico City a mule fell dead
from starvation, and the people
used the carcass for food.
Food prices are at such fabu-
lous levels that even the rich can
scarcely buy.
In Jalapa, capital of the state
of Veru Cruz, $500 women stood
In line from sunrise until noon
for food. Many of them fell in a
faint. One woman with a
month-old child staggered out of
line and sank to the ground. Sew
eral other women in line waived
their rights in her favor, but the
man selling corn paid no atten-
ton.
MObs i'm Capital.
Many other women went home
crying, as the supply of corn ran
out.
At Durango the governments
efforts to keep down the price
of food has failed, since buyers
from Monterey and Torreon offer
any price for the grain.
All over the country, il the car
of flour from the Red Cross fails
to COME, large part of the towns
remain hungry.
In Mexico City, the situation is
grave, and mobs are riOting
around the capital.
Donations should be sent to
Ashton.

Miss Olga Blaser, who lives
with her mother on a 75-acre
ranch on Loveland prairie, eight
miles from Midland, now has the
distinction of helping to raise
some of the finest rye, wheat and
oats ever seen in Western Wash
ington.
Miss Blaser is only Is years
old, and never saw wheat or rye
until she and her mother moved
to the Loveland ranch.
In the picture, taken few days
ago at The Times office ty The
Times photographer, Miss Blaser
is seen holding dozen stalks of
rye six feet seven inches tall, that
was cut even before it had reach
ed it's maturity! And this in
early June!
"Oh, it'll be lots bigger than
this when it's through growing,
said the pretty farm maid. And
we are going to put in another
sowing and raise second CROP
before the summer is over"
Mrs. A. Blaser and her daugh-
ter tried the raising of rye, wheat
and oats as an experiment. They
sowed their entire rs acres last
September, and will use the grain
as food for cattle.
Next year we will increase our
fields and try raising the grain
as a commercial proposition. -"
said Miss Blaser as she was ex.
planning her farm venture. III
we can have grain like this in
large quantities. we ought to oe
able to make those prairies val.
liable as wheat and rye centers.

The city hall was again amused
today by a new incident in the
bitter fight between Mayor Faw-
cett and Controller Meads.
Fawcett today frightened Meads
into paying three old improve
ment assessments on his home in
the South End, amounting to
$9O.84, and was SO tickled over
his coup that he told everyone
whom he met in the city hall.
Meads owed assessments and
interest on grading, sewer and
water main improvements, from
1909. The original unpaid as
sessment had been less than $50,
but heavy delinquent interest had
brought the sum up to over $50.
