with Robert Wingats, prominate
in those days as coal mine

He went to Carbonate and
acted as boss In the mines for two
years, then returned TO Tacoma
and purchased the Halstead house.
This famous hosteiry, which stood
on the site ut 705 Pacific avenue,
now occupied by the Commercial
garage, inc, was one OF the earli-
est hotels in the townsite OF New
Tacoma.

have disappeared.
Frank Haydock, known to all
pioneers as 1.-THE Major" came to
Tacoma in 1885 when he was 81
years of age, and became hotel
clerk, bartender, bell boy and gen.
eral man of all work in the Hal
stead house. He has worked for
Bradley continuously as bartender
in the Bradley since the saloon
was started In 1890.
Never Fracas.
The Bradley bar has one unique
record, in that 1t has never been
the scene of a fracas of any kind,

and has caused absolutely no
trouble to the authorities.
The only time a man was ar
rested in the Bradley was years
ago, when a miner, with $1245 In
his pockets, started a Sunday
celebration in the place.
Bradley personally escorted the
man to police headquarters, and
had him held until he was sober.
That was in the early days of
Chief Packers regime.

Bartenders in the Bradley don't
know how to mix drinks, because
the house has never catered to

name.

The Bradley always has been
a handy port of call for thirsty
officials at the city hall in need
of stimulants, and 1t probably
could tell some interesting tales
of the mayors and councilmen
and public officials whom IL has
served. The bar has been in ex-

was erected, and has served its
10-cent drinks to many a man

President Barrow Says It's Too
Early to Predict About Chance
of Retaining Team

President Edward G. Barrow, of the
International League, was in Harris
burg to-day. He said Harrisburg is
making good as a class AA town.
President Barrow said it was too early
to make any predictions about next
season. Harrisburg's chances are as
good as those of any other city, in the
opinion of the league leader.
President Barrow came to confer
with President Thomas Fogerty on
future plans and to settle any contro-
versies regarding postponed games.
He expected to see part of the game
this afternoon and was scheduled to
leave later for New York city.
President Barrow was asked if he
knew anything about a major league
club taking over Harrisburg and using
this city as farm next season. He
said he had heard the report and SINH
lar rumors about other deals, but as
yet nothing was known officially.
Asked for an expression as to Harris
burg's patronage, he said:
Harrisburg has made good, and
like the city. The patronage has been
very satisfactory Plans for next sea-
son are still in the dim future. 1t is
too early to talk about next year at
this time. All towns on the circuit are
drawing crowds and the International
League will finish in good shape"

Washington, D. c., Aug. 21.-It was
announced at the State Department
to-day that Ambassador Gerard prob
ably will be directed to call the Ger
man governments attention to the
sinking of the White Star liner Arabic
and to invite an explanation.
This was the first indication from
any official source that Germany would
have an opportunity to give the rea-
sons for the attack apparently in dis
regard of President Wilson's solemn
warning that such an act would be re-
garded as deliberately unfriendly.
The State Departments attitude is
that If the German government has
any facts which. in its opinion, go to
mitigate the circumstances of the at
tack, such as an attempt to escape or
an attempt to resist or attack the sub
marine, the Berlin foreign office should
have opportunity to present them.
To-day's announcement, however, in

takes any action there may be some

New York, Aug. 81. - The possibility

necessitate the floating of large do
