that he had the theological students and
professors laughing and applauding most
of the time.
Urges Old-FnshiOned Gospel.
He warned them against the higher
criticism and declared the old-fashioned
gospel is what the people want and what
God wants preached.
"A few years ago" he said, "a lot OF

CITY SUES
PIERCE co.
FOR JUICE

City Attorney Stiles this after
noon started a friendly suit
against Pierce county, to test
whether the courthouse is enti-
tied to a half rate on tbs light
ing bill.
This has been a point of diff
ference between county and city
commissioners.
When the county commission
ers, over a year ago, granted the
city a right-of-way for its trans
mission line, on a county road,
the condition was imposed that
the courthouse hereafter should
be lighted at half price.
Judge Stiles insists that this
agreement was illegal, and is of
no effect.

they shot for the open country

Close behind, the officers saw
their game, and midway on the
bridge Kincaid drew his revolver
and fired with the idea Of pune

ahead. But at the rate both were
travelling, his efforts wer vain.
The women finally were cap
tured on the tideflats.
There they said they thought
they were being pursued by hood

The story is secuted by the
officers, who argue that the de-

were frightened by men they
thought hoodlums.

TACOMA BOYS
CHARGED WITH
Crime REIGN

With two young burglars under arrest and the po
lice seeking third officers puzzled to know to-
day what is the cause of the recent outbreak of ju
venile crime.
Since the arrest of Albert Ploufee 16, week ago,
there has been number of crimes committed by jul
venies so daring as to challenge the nerve of expert
enced outlaws
While Ploufee faces trial for burglary and
his young PAL Bert Ross lies at the point OF death
in the county hospital stricken by bullet from
policeman's revolver, at least a half dozen
crimes have been committed Police are wonder
ing if the melodramatic experience of young
Plouffe has fired the other youngsters blood.
At this morning William Young and Gail Rams
dell were caught while they going through Il
store at 18th and Market streets. Officers Thomp-
son and Elingson caught them while they were at
work and brought them to the station The boys are
each 16 years old.
For their first known infractiOn of the law, they
had obtained only 10 cents when captured. Juvenile
Officer Jursch is holding them, and has not yet de-
cided what to do.
Young is Tacoma boy while Ramsdel's parents
live in the valley between Seattle and Tacoma.
Another burglary that looks like the work of boys
is that of the home of H. E. O'Nei 900 South Third
street. It was discovered yesterday by Katherine
O'Neil, aged g. who has been staying with the family
of Arthur Gardner while O'Ne has visited the Cali
fornia fairs.
A revolver, clothing pipe, tobacco and playing
cards and perhaps other material were taken. O'Nei
will be home tonight
Last night too, three juveniles were arrested as
members of gang organized to steal and market
auto tires here and in Seattle. They gave their
names as Lawrence Lamare, James Canton and Earl
Cain.
