Four Boys Escape From
State framing School

Harold Hadley who escaped from the
Oregon State Training School with
three others last night, was captured at
the S. F. depot about 1890 a. m, when
he attempted to get away on a night
freight ard lodged in the city Jail. The
other three were not seen near the de.
pot though it is possible that they may
be at large in the city and as the city
police last night had no description Of
them the fugitiyes would be safe in
passing through. Hadley was arrested
by Baggage Agent Snyder Of the S. p.
company, who turned the boy over to
the city police.
Hadlcy refuses to tell anything about
the other boys and claims he does not
know where they are now or where they
intend to go. He says he does not
know them intimately as he has been at
the school but six weeks. He was com
mittcd from Dayton where his parents
live. The authorities at the school will
be notified today and will return the
lad to the school.

ARE LISTERS
HANDS TIED?

That Gov. Lister is powerless
to discharge any member of the
industrial insurance commission
is charged In the current issue OF
the Washington State Weekly.
The reason as set forth is,Ethat
the governor is under financial
obligations to his appointees. rThe
article follows:
Gov. Ernest Lister cant go
to the bottom of the industrial
insurance commission scandal. He
voluntarily tied his own, hands
compromised himself, and is pow
erless to act.
1T will be necessary for the
state auditor and the bureau Of
accountancy to investigate the
governors department IL the
truth is to be brought to light
and the people are demanding to
know all of the facts.
THE charges that have been
filed against Gillies have failed to
unravel the mystery. The people
want to know how much money
was tolen, and who got 1t.
| Should Discharge Loafers.
"The first official act of the
| governor should have been to dis
miss the members of the commits
sion responsible for the lazy
methods that permitted the state
trust funds to be looted. In fact,
these men would not have been
permitted to loaf on the job two
months II Gov. Lister had kept
his election pledges, and remained
at Olympia looking after the ad-
ministration of the departments
under his direction.
Gov. Lister knows that the
members of the commission ut
terly failed to carry out the re-
sponsibilities entrusted to them,
! but he Is powerless to take the
action that the circumstances de-
mand. He is under financial Oh
legations to mis- appointees and
they must continue to draw pay
from the state no matter how in
competent or lazy they may be.
During his campaign for gov
ernor Ernest Lister borrowed
$4,000 from Portland bank
on q note endorsed by man
with large interests In Oregon
and Washington. Some time after
he became governor, Lister had
a political split with this man,
and when the note became due
Governor Lister was called upou
to meet the obligation. He was
unable to do 80 and suit was
threatened.
Employees Rescue Governor.
Governor Lister then called
for help, and a conferences was
held at Olympia, between the gov
ernor and certain OF his demo-
cratic friends. AS the result of
this conference each department
head under the governor was as
sessed a months salary and the
money collected and applied ON
the note. The money cleaned
up all of the loan with the excep-
tion of about 1,100, and certain
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-12-20

well known democrats obligated
themselves to pay this balance.
How can the governor be ex-
pected to remove men from office
under such couditions?"
Listers Answer.
Gov. Lister, when asked for a
statement regarding the charge,
made no comment on II further
than to write the following:
I'm the past, whenever
change in any Of my appointees
has appeared to be necessary for
the betterment OF the states serv-
Ice, 1t has been made. Should
the same course appear to be
necessary in the future, It will
be followed. Every effort posi-
BILE is being put forth and will
continue to be put forth to secure
evidence In connection with the
industrial insurance frauds and
to bring all guilty parties to JUS
tlce."

SET HIGH TAX ON
MOVIE THEATERS

ought to be- taxed as a luxury.
If they can't afford to pay the
rate that We gsk of them, let
them quit business"
Wants Scent Shows
The new rate, which was pro-
posed by Atkins and adopted by
the entire council except Mayor
Fawcett, who was absent, fixes a
l " cent tax a month a seat for
theaters charging cents admis-
sion: 2h- cents a month a seat
for theaters charging 10 cents ad-
mission, and / cent a seat q
month extra for every cents over
10 cents admission.
Zone idea in introducing this
rate is to induce the movie men
to furnish us With scent shows
rather than to stick the price up

DON'T LET THIS TINY
STOCKING GO EMPTY

Heres another fine chance for
one Of the Tacoma Santa Clauses

"One Who Knows" wrote to
The Times Empty Stocking Ed
tor today about a little Tacoma
boy whose stocking is threatened
with black emptiness on Christ
mas morning.

hands full trying to care for the

along" said Atkins. He also
said that he believed this rate
would be more fair to the subur
ban theaters.
Ready BY Wednesday.
Under the new rate, the Co.
lonial theater, with a seating ca
pacity of $50 and a 10-cent ad-
mission rate, will pay 1886 an

downtown theaters, as announced
by the managers today, is as fol-
lows: Colonial, $50; Apollo

Walking into the room where
Mrs. d. Earls, 3606 North Willard,
and her eight-year-old daughter
were sitting, burglar last even
ing calmly proceeded to ransack
the dwelling after the woman and
her daughter had run screaming
to the street.
The burglar was unmaske1 /.
Mrs. Beals did not stop long
enough to see whether he carried
a revolver. As she rushed from
the house she fell from the porch
and was painfully injured.
Neigbors, attracted by the
woman's screams, entered the
home to find that the burglar
had made a thorough search.
Nothing was stolen.
Another burglary was reporte,
from the home of G.. w. Cain,

Casting aside all former deci-
sions and all pleas Of the motion
picture managers of Tacoma,
members of the city council today
agreed on a license tax for pie
ture shows next year that will
amount, with the big theaters, ct
least, to four times the present
tax.
The sentiment of the council
was expressed by Commissioned
Mills.
I'VE don't care II we do force
some of the theaters out of bust

In shape there are the diminutive pill box the numerous boat-shaped tur- bans, all sorts and kinds of sailors, many military styles. and lovely wide brimmed hats in lacy straws and di- aphanous materials.
 AS for trimmings, there are many new departures. All sorts of gayly- colored flowers (mostly smalD a world of new ornaments of ribbons (mostly narrow), and innumerable handmade decorations Of silk. straw. kid. feath- CTS and other things.
 Handwork is featured in this new millinery. Ornamental stitches in needlework. much exaggerated in size, and cross-stitched designs are used in finishing and applying trimming. In fact, a large part of the decora- tions are sewed fiat to the shape in the form of applique, the sewing being an important part of the scheme.
 In colors, beside the beautiful sand, twine, and tan colors, there are many white hats, including bananas, gray which is called "battleship" gray, without any good reason, and many shades Of blue and red that may be called reserved" Black seems not to be in the running.
 Three of the smaller hats are shown in the picture. At the left is narrow brimmed sailor of white satin It is carefully made and distinguished by trimming of small chrysanthemums cut from white kid, and stems made of kid also.
 A dark gray hat of satin belongs among the boat.shaped models and is trimmed with short peacock feathers and leaf-shaped pieces of velvet sewed fiat to the shape with the heavy black embroidery silk.
