ALLIES
WON'T
AGREE

LONDON, July 13.-The allies
wouldn't consent to an arrange
ment between Germany and the
United States whereby interned
German ships might resume sail
ing under the Stars and Stripes,
providing they carried no con-
traband to England.
In Berlin Under Foreign Secre-
tary Zimmerman said that Ger
many would consent to such ar
rangements. 1t was the unani-
nous opinion here that the allies
would not stand for the transpor-
tation of American citizens
through the war zone by such a
plan. 1t was pointed out that
such scheme was violation of
the declaration of London which
Germany and the United States
both signed.
The declaration states that the
transfer Of an enemy's vessel to
a neutral flag after the outbreak
of hostilities is void unless it is
proved that such a transfer wasn't
made to avoid the consequences
to which the enemy's vessel, as
such, is exposed.

FaWcett Gives
$40 For Cripple;
HoWAboutY0u?
By E. A. Peters

Crippled Larry Sullivan, the
paralyzed youth who cheerfullv
looks up into the faces of Taco
mans from his perch against the
buildings at Pacific ave. and 10th
street and offers pencils for sale,
is going to have a new set of legs
and a new way Of making a
livelihood.
Within an hour after The
Times announced yesterday that
It wanted to help the cripple,
Mayor Fawcett offered $40 of
the 800 needed to give Sullivan
q new start In life, Van M. Dovd
had contributed 81 towards the
fund and B. r. Nichols had given
80 cents. Nichols is clerk in
the city light and water depart
men. He is also paralyzed in one
limb, and walks with the aid of q
cane.
At the rate early subscriptions
are arriving the 500 will be rails
ed almost Immediately.
The young cripple will be taken
to the county hospital next week,
where DR.. Rich, who has offered
to donate his services, will per-
form an intricate operation. The
operation will strengthen the lad s
limbs and probably allow him to
walk without crutches. 1t will at
least give him more strength, and
more confidence in walking. At
present neither of his limbs io
strong enough to support 20
pounds weight.
The 500 being subscribed by
Tacomans will be invested in a
newspaper and confectionery
stand. The stand will be really
for Larry as soon as he is able
to leave the hospital.
Mayor Fawcett has charge of
the fund. Subscriptions may be
made to him. The Times will
forward all subscriptions received
by 1t, to the mayor. Fawcett will
later appoint a committee from
the contributors, who will super
wise the spending of every cent of
the money.
Who'll help Larry Sullivan?

HOUSE
TIPPED
TO RAID

With Commissioner Mills leav.
ing yesterday aftern. n on his
vacation, and Chief of Police
LOOMS remaining at his home,
there were no officials at police
headquarters today to explain
why the Chinese lottery games
were tipped off" Saturday aft
ernoon to impending raids.
Commissioner Mills gave or
ders to Chief LOOMS for the
raids, at noon. The order was
passed to Capt. d. o. Smith at 4
o'clock. Between and 6 p. m.
Saturday afternoon every Chinese
lottery game on lower Broadway
had been informed that raids
were impending, and several OF
the regular" customers of the
gambling houses had been adj
vised by the Chinese not to visit
the resorts that evening.
Forfeit Bail.
At 10 o'clock the police sent
George Graham, stool pigeon,
into a lottery game at the Pekin
cafe. At 1890 four officers bat
tered down doors and made their
way into q secret room in the
rear of the cafe, where they
found their stool pigeon sitting
around with seven other white
men and a Chinese. In another
room was found lottery tickets,
but no evidence was obtained
that gambling had been con.
Quoted.
Graham was released on per.
sonal recognizance. The Other
gambler" were released on Sic
bail. In police court yesterday
afternoon the stool pigeon en-
tered a plea of guilty to the
charge of being in room where
gambling was conducted. The
other eight forfeited their bail
totaling $120. On request OF
the police, Graham was not pun
ished.
Reopen at Midnight.
Although the raid was made
at 1890 o'clock Saturday night,
1t was learned yesterday after
noon that each of the four Chi
nese lottery games operating in
Tacoma reopened at midnight
and played continually through
out the night until 5 Sunday
morning. No further attempt
was made by the police to raid
the places.
Last evening, on account OF
yesterdays expose of gambling
conditions by The Times, the
lottery games were temporarily
closed, but the Chinese proprie-
tors promised their patrons that
the games would open again
within a few days.
One $3.50 Winning.
Four lottery games have been
in continuous operation in Chi
nese quarters between 14th and
18th on Broadway for the last
six months. Although the games
were conducted SO openly that a
stranger had no difficulty in
gaining admission, no previous
efforts have been made by the
police to clean out the gambling.
Patrons of the games are, In
the main, white men, with an
occasional negro. 1t is signifi-
cant that Chinese never play the
game, although Chinese who
speak English operate it.
On several occasions fashion
ably dressed women have visited

WILSON WILL

WASHINGTON, d. c., July IS.
Wilson probably will
return to Washington the latter
part of the week, according to
a guess" hazarded by the presl-
dents private secretary, Joseph
Tumulty, today. The secretary
spoke of the presidents return
confidently.
Lansing is keeping his own
counsel regarding the answer to
be sent to Germany. AS far as
can be learned he hasn't a single
confidant. All indications ars
that two tentative notes to Ber-
lin will be ready when the presi-
dent arrives--his own and Lans-
ing's. The notes then will be
compared. The final draft will
be made after the cabinet has
been consulted as to terms.

Edison 10
Work For
Uncle Sam

WEST ORANGE, N. j.. July Is
AS patriotic service to his
couDtry, Thomas A. Edison will
become a member of the advisory
board OF civilian inventors for
the naval bureau of inventors.
Despite great possible financial
rewards, Edison has refused to
turn his attention to the making
of war-supplies for any OF the
belligerents.
His attention will be directed
particularly for time TO the per-
lection of submarines.
He will have the greatest COM
bination of inventors In the world
as colleagues on the board.
This was made evident today
when It became known that ~
vile Wright is understood to be-
scheduled to join Edison. Wright
will give his attention to aviation.
Other men who were suggested
for possible membership on the.
new board here today were Henry
Ford. Nicola Tesla, Cooper Hew-
lit and Prof, Lewis johnson.

Mrs. Emma Knockenhauer. 76
years old, and unable to read,
write. or speak the English lam
guage, told an emphatic story of
fraud at the hands of M. G..
Henry, bond-broker, before Judge
Clifford today.
In her broken language, she
accused Henry of taking advan-
tage of her ignorance and help
lessness to induce her to sign
away $4,000 in notes and mort
cages.
At her feet, as she sat in the
witness chair, was Henry himself,
reclining in an invalid's wheel
chair. He is still disabled as the
result of an accident for which
he is suing the T. II. & 2. Co.

remarks, were made almost di-

PENDANT.
Her story is that Henry was
her financial agent in 1914. She
got into a lawsuit and went to
him for advice. He told her, so
she testified, that her enemies
might break into her stronghold
with an AK and steal her prop
erty.
Then he had her sign some pa
pers, and put her notes and mort
cages into his vault, from which
she never has been able to recove.

Her testimony is expected to
take almost all day.
Henry admits his financial re-
lations with her. but has a gen.
eral denial of any attempt to de-
|saud her.
