The eight white men who were
sitting in the lottery room with
ALI Wot, one Of the operators, are
said to have been merely placed
there by the Chinese as bait"
for the raid.
Four Chimes lottery games have
been operating In Tacoma for
several months. They are known
as the Hong Kong Co.. the ShanE
Hal Co., the Tuck Lee Co., and
the Wing Tai Co. All, however,
are members OF the Pacific coast
lottery syndicate, II is alleged.
The lottery has become so bold IN
Tacoma that these companies
have even Issued pamphlets re-
Gently showing the percentage OF
profit that is possible by playing
the game. One OF these cards
shows how person may win
from 50 to 1855 on a 81 lot
terry ticket.
Promises Firing"
The game Is operated at regu-
lar intervals. Those who have
played 1t say that drawings at the
four Tacoma lottery houses have
been called each hour. beginning
at / p. m. and continuing until 8
p. m. On Saturday nights the
games operated until midnight.
II don't know thing about
the police standing In with the
Chinese gambling, or any tip OF
my order, given to the gamblers,
said Mills today. But do know
that II my officers have known
of the existence of these games
In the past, and have refused TO
report them, someone is going to
get fired.
IF any officer Saturday night
gave the Chinese lottery proprie-
tors an advance tip on my ord ar
for a wholesale raid on the gamb-
ling joints, ] will send him to Jail
for aiding a criminal. I'm leay-
ing on my vacation today, unfor-
tunately, and cannot start the in

Find Tickets at Fire.
On lower Broadway It has been
no uncommon sight lately to see
fifty men, black and white,
emerge at the same time from
one of the Chinese cafes or ho-
tells, where the lotteries were be-
ing conducted. On several occa-
sions, 1t is said. detectives stood
outside the doors and Inspected
the persons who left the gamb-
ling rooms, but no effort was
made to raid the places.
In a recent fire in hotel on
lower Broadway, police detectives
found several thousand blank Chi
nese lottery tickets in half
Quilted upstairs room. No inves-
tigation was made, and the pres
ence of the tickets was not evcn
reported to headquarters, SO far
as can be learned.

PAVE SOUTH
TACOMA ROAD
IS DECISION

Overriding the remonstrance
of several large property owners,
the city council today voted to
order work begun on paving the
South Tacoma boulevard from Ce-
dar and 3Sth streets to M and
9th. 1t is the last unpaved link
of the main south-going hard sur
face artery to the city.
The new road will cost $4,000.
OF this sum, the adjoining prop
erty, which is worth $4,000, will
be asked to pay $4,000. and the
city and county will supply the
remaining $4,000. AS conces-
sion to the demonstrators, the
council today promised to pay the
first years interest on the paw
ing. Former Senator Fatland
led the DIRECTORS.
The new road will cross the
Northern Pacific right-of-way al
M street on a bridge, thus abol-
ishing one of the most dangerous
road crossings in the city. The
present crossing is at Bailey
street.

FINANCING
METHODS
EXPOSED

Spectators at the suit between
the Bankers Trust Co. and its
former manager today had an &C.
casional glimpse at the inside OF
high financing.
The testimony hinged this
morning on a loan which George
B. Burke, as manager, was al.
legged to have made to the Puyal-
lup Manufacturing Co., of which
he was a promoter and part own
er.
Later this concern went bank
rupt, and part of the $4,000 note
was still due the bank.
Among the sureties on the note
was j. p. Hortshorn. AS mana
ger of the bank, Burke wrote him
a polite little note that it would
be up to him to make good.
Burke wrote specifically that
I'VE" would have to make good.
Then he testified that by the use
of I'VE" he intended to deceive
Hartshorn into thinking that he
(Burke) also would have Ito
cough up, when as a matter OF
fact he wouldn't at all.
Burke explained his object was
to get as much of the money due
the bank as possible.
The bank is suing Burke for
money which 1t alleges he got
away with during his manager
ship.

BOMBS ON MULE SHIPS

NEW ORLEANS, July 10. ~
The influence Of Frank Holt,
dead, today reached far out. into
the Atlantic and threatened de-
struction to two British steamers
with many Americans on board,
the Howthhead and the Baron
Napier, from this port with mules
and munitions for England.
! Following the receipt by a New
Orleans newspaper of a letter of
warning from a man who signed
himself as a partner of the dead
professor, the state and navy de-
partments fastened wireless mes
sages to the Baron Napier to
search the hold for bombs. The
Howthhead has no radio.
Up to late hour. the ship
had been unable to give assur-
ance that it was safe.
1t replied, however, that Wig
orous search was in process and
that lifeboats would be held in
readiness for immediate launch
ing.
The letter of warning stated
positively that there were bombs
In the holds of both ships, which
would explode while they were in
mid-ocean. 1t warned relatives
Of persons who had sailed on the
two vessels to watch for reports,
and made blood-curdling threats
of future violence.
The most strenuous efforts will
be made to get In touch with the
Howthhead by means Of other
ships.
One man Is held here as q sus-
pect-Hans Halo, who was ar
rested last December for having
a bomb in his possession. The
police have nothing definite
against him. but he will be held
until definite word one way OF
another has been recofvo6 from
the two ships.

BERLIN, July IA sugges-
ton was made here today by
Foreign Secretary Zimmerman
that three big German liners In

OPERATORS
TIPPED OFF,
I'm ADVANCE

Chinese lottery games, that
have been flourishing In Ia
coma for months, came to u
sudden end Saturday night
when Commissioner Mills
ordered ~ summary raid Of
the resorts.
The fact that the games
have been operating under
the very nose of the police,
and that Chinese lottery
tickets have been commonly
exhibited about the city for
weeks, caused rumors today
that several police detectives
were ''in" OH the games.
Mills left at noon today for a
weeks vacation trip, but before
going announced that he would
start rigid investigation immed-
lately on his return.
He declared that, until Satur-
day when friend informed him
of the existence OF the games,
that he had had no knowledge Of
the open gambling.
Coast-Wide Affair.
Tacoma Chinese lottery games
are part of the lottery syndicate
operating all over the Pacific
coast. A recent investigation in
Los Angeles of the lottery system
there proved that the Chinese
game was flourishing in syndicate
form throughout the west. Whole
sale raids interrupted the games
in that city, and San Francisco is
now preparing to rid itself of
the gambling.
Tacoma's first raid occurred at
10:30 O'Clock Saturday. when De-
tectives Kincaid, Strickland, Ken
ma and Recob burst in the doors
of "a small room behind the Pekin
cafe, Chinese noodle house at
133Sh Broadway.
They found group of men SIT
ting about the room, smoking
cigarets, but no gambling was 60
ing on, and there was not ves-
tige of gambling paraphernalia in
the place.
The occupants OF the room
were taken to jail, on a charge OF
being in room where gambling
had been conducted.
They gave their names as J.
Binlas. Evan Jones, Robert Bur
ton, George Graham, AL Lyons,
Victor Green, Harry Johnson, W.
Nichols and All Wot. Lyons was
released on his own recognizance.
All Wot was let out on SIS bail
furnished by Song Luck, and the
others were liberated on SIS bail
furnished by We Lee, said to be
operator of the games. ..
Tipped OFF.
Saturday nights raid was "tip-
ped off" to the operators of the
Chinese lottery joints.
Commissioner Mills announced
at noon that he would close IN
the games, and Immediately gave
orders to Chief Loomis for raid.
At o'clock the lottery proprie-
tors, all Chinese, had been In
formed that a raid was to occur,
land they calmly informed gam
blers who visited them during the
afternoon. to keep away during
the evening.

AFRAID
TO LOSE
NICkELS

The liberty bell, historic
reminder of the earliest mo-
ments OF American freedom,
will not parade through Ia
cOma's streets.
Instead, all TacOmans who
wish to see the bell must
crowd into specially reserv-
ed space near the union sta
ton, where stands will be
erected to care for the crowd
as well as possible.
The parade, in which fraternal
orders, members of the G.. A. X.
and Spanish War veterans, and
thousands Of school children had
planned to join, with the bell on
a flatcar in advance, is changed
in character altogether. The bell,
vital constituent, will not lead II
as planned.
These startling facts were made
known shortly after noon today
by Walter Risk, chairman of the
Liberty Bell Day committee.
Promises Public Statement
In plain language, he put the
blame entirely upon Louis Bean,
head of the 7. r. e p. He added
that as soon as the committee had
time to cool off and get its head
clear, 1t would give public state
ment in full as TO the discourte-
sizes 1t had received at the hands
of the Stone-Webster company.
The Liberty Bell, said Risk, Is
to come here on q special car OF
the Pennsylvania railway. Several
days ago, the committee request
ed the T. r. & p. to ascertain
from this company II the car on
which the bell is making it's trav-
els was of such construction that
1t could negotiate the street-caI
curves.
The committee was to stand
full expense for the telegram.
The company, after several
days delay, informed the commit.
tee today that no action had been
taken. This caused the parade's
calling off.
Would Have Few Nickels.
Another fact which contributed
to the parade's calling off, was
the refusal of Bean to stop his
cable cars on 18th and 18th SITS
while the parade and crowds
watched the bell on its way down
Pacific av.
This is despite the fact tina,
the committee informed him re.
peatedly that in many cities all
cars would be stopped for hours
on all lines.
Risk asked today that all fra.
ternal orders which had planned
to join the parade should meet al
Ninth and Commerce at 3 O'Clock
and would parade without the bel
down Pacific av. to the N. p. sta.
ton, where the ceremonies will be
held.
No Half Holiday.
Mayor Fawcett refused today t.
comply with request from the
Tacoma Elks' lodge for hall
holiday for Wednesday afternoon
when the Liberty Bell will arrive
Z "we'll have lots of visitors IL
Tacoma, who will want to d.
some trading while viewing Tho
bell, and 1t isn't fair to a.,k the
merchants to close up and miss
that extra trade" said the mayor

seIqium's National Anthem.

The national anthem of Belgium. ia
Brabanconne," is set to lighter music
than the dignifed British and Russian
compositions. Its author and composer
were both Belgians, and the song was
written to meet the public need at the
time Of a great crisis in the country's
history. the revolution Of 1880, when
Belgium repudiated its so called "amal-
gamation" with Holland.
The music was the work of a repu-
table musician of the time, Francois
Won Campenhaut, a violinist, fine
tenor singer and a composer. la Bra
banconne" constitutes Campenhaut's
principal claims upon posterity. Cam
penhaut concentrated his efforts upon
giving the soldiers of the revolution a
good marching tune, one which would
carry along the burning enthusiasm Of
Jenneval's words without emphasizing
any of their deeper qualities. He
caught something Of the impulse of
Rouget de Isle in the composition Of
la Marseillaise," and even reproduced
a hint of the rhythm Of the great
French song.

Fame Of q Tailor.

The name of Captain Keayne has a
secure niche In history as the founder
Of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
company. He was a merchant tailor
and had been a member of the tHonora-
BILE Artillery company Of London. and
his Boston company had to overcome
the opposition of Governor Winthrop,
who feared the establishment of Pre-
torian guard. Perhaps Keayne would
have failed entirely had he not been
distinguished for his piety and benev-
olence." In the practice Of his art as a
tailor he ran foul Of the laws for the
regulation Of business and wns fined
goo by the great and general court for
exactlng more than sixpence In the
shilling profit on foreign goods. He
died IN Boston March %. 1856. and bis

BALANCING TO Music,

One of the most difficult trials that
an equilibrist of any kind can under.
take is to give an exhibition without
the aid of an orchestra. Good, stirring
music is of immense assistance to the.
performer In more ways than one. In
the first place, 1t encourages and gives
confidence to an extent which would
astound any one who had never before
experienced it. BY always performing
to one tune the artist is able to take
his cues from it, and he keeps time
much as a step dancer does. The mu.
sic enables the performer to confine
his attention to what he is doing by
drowning any small noises among the
audience which might distract him
Most equilibrists during what they
consider their browning feat dispense
with the orchestra, and this adds con
siderably to the danger.

It is the custom in country districts in
France for married women to retain
their names in association with those
