Tale of the Twins.
In late years there Is only one
incident In connection with this
saloon that stands out as notable
In the history of the Old Tacoma.
1t was one of the first places
where Mayor Fawcett's anti-treat-
Ing ordinance was defeated.
The story is one that they still
tell around Old Town. Mayor
Fawcett had sent out special Of
ficers to get evidence against sa-
looms that were violating the anti
treating ordinance. The officers
treated in the Old Tacoma and
then swore out a warrant for the
bartender.
Had 20 Sets of Owners.
When the bartender appeared
in court, the special officers swore
that he had sold them the booze.
Then a twin brother of the bar
tender appeared. and the special
officers were completely befud-
died. They couldn't tell which
brother had sold them the liquor,
and the case was dropped.
In its 43 years, the saloon has
passed through 20 pairs of hands.
Anton Bush and Nicholas Con-
stanti are present owners of the
New Tacoma saloon. They are
getting ready, like all the rest of
the Tacoma liquor dealers, to
close out their stock of booze and
beer and wines by Jan. l. Then
they think they will try the fish
ing banks.
No Monument.
Although there never will be
any monument to the memory of
the Old Tacoma saloon, it will al
ways be remembered by veterans
of Old Town as the one landmark
that has been in existence as long
as their Oldest member can recall.
Forty-three years continuous
operation!

This barroom began operation
In 1872. and has been dispensing
beer and whisky and gin to III
clientage of sailors and longshore'
men and millwrights and sea cap
tains ever since.
In its history, the Old Tacoms
saloon has passed out booze II
practically every seafaring man
who sailed the Pacific ocean.
For 1t was always gathering
place for sailors and officers, and
probably you know that for many
years Old Town was the princi
pal seaport of the North Pacific
coast.
Has Handled a Fortune.
During these years it has taken
in over the bar money enough ia

gest, finest ocean liners that ever
steamed into the port.
Its proceeds would have pur-
chased and outfitted whole

Its History Elusive.
It's hard to obtain a history OF
this old saloon. We tried to get a
continuous record or ownership OF
of the place, and other historical
data about the famous old grog-
shop. But every veteran of Old
Town whom we found had a diff
ferent story.
Even Grandpap Babcock, who
is 81 years of age and the Oldest
pioneer of Old Town che asserts
valiantly that he lived there be

looms history
Ferry Built 1t.
Col. G. p. Ferry, famous as a
collector of Alaskan Indian curios
and one of the pioneers of the
northwest, erected the building in
which the Old Tacoma saloon
stands.
He put up a two-story frame
structure, square and ugly and
Imprinted.
But in those Gays it was a
grand building, and its erection
marked the beginning of a boom
in Old Town. The saloon had
the most prominent corner in the
newly plated town.
Ferry rented his building to
Meyer Kaufman and the three La
vine brothers-Louis, Dave and
Phillip. They established a first
class barroom, and in connection
with it a small mercantile estab-
lishment in which they sold cloth
ing, shoes, groceries and meat.
No POusse Cafes, Then.
There were no fancy drinks in
those days. Beer was even a
luxury, so Grandpap Babcock says.
Whisky and rum and gin were
the popular drinks. And they
came around the Horn in big sail
ing vessels, all the way from the
east coast.
The Old Tacoma-that wasn't
its name in those days-was not
really the first saloon in Old
Town.
1t was the third. When it was
started in operation the other sa-
looms were conducted by John
Hill, whose Cosmopolitan saloon

TABER'S RECORD
 NOT 0FF|C|AL?:
Some Experts Inclined to Think Great Record Made in Harvard Stadium Was Not Under Official Con- ditionS
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcHl

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Considerable controversy has developed in track and
 field circles as to the prOpriety of ac- cepting the new worlds record of Am. l ? sos for the mile run, made by Nor man Taber in the Harvard Stadium on July IT. The contention of the objec-
 tors to accepting the figures is that the
 time was made in a special trial and
 not in race in the true sense of the word. Few followers of athletics real iZe the difficulty of finding q field and conditions that will give a runner of
 Taber's type the opportunity to break such a record even though he has the ability.
 w. c. George of England set the time for the mile at Am. 21 2-5c. in 1882 and
 this time was not lowered by an anna teur until 1895 when Tommy Conneff
 ran the distance in Pm. 15 3-5s. There it stood until 1911 when John Paul { Jones reduced it 1-5 of a second and two years later cut a whole second off
 that time. In this race Jones had as opponents Taber. Brown: Harmon.
 Dartmouth; and Madeira of Pennsyl-
 vania all of whom finished in the order
 named. This was an extraordinary
 field and forced Jones to run at his
 best speed to win in time less than
 two seconds slower that Georges rec
 ord Of Am. 12srs. made when a prefes-
 sional in 1886.
 In the race in which George estab-
 lished the worlds record that Taber
 broke, the English professional had as

 runner of almost, equal ability. It can be seen. therefore. that it is sell dom that group of runners of suffi- cient speed can be gathered under per feet racing conditions to warrant ex- pectations of reducing records which have reached the point where the mile figures are today. Taber could have in all probability lowered the record just as much or perhaps more had he been : able to race the full mile against a held of several runners capable of stay
 ing with him for the entire distance at

 To show that these prophecies were not improbable, Senator Lewis cited historical instances where nations formerly belligerents subsequently be- came allies. Declaring that both England and Germany had abandoned heretofore acknowledged principles ot international law and that for America it is now plain that in any emergency involving her interests there is no law of nations that can be relied on for any benefit or ad- vantage" Senator Lewis led up to his predictions by endeavoring to show that by retaining the Philip pine islands the United States had violated that prime rule of inter national law-the departure from her own zone and entering that of an other"
 Tt is the violation of this prin- ciple and it's consequences which is today the great danger of America s
 
 Previous to entering the Philip pines, he asserted, our right to deny the right of Chinese and Japanese Ito enter into our civilization,' was not disputed, but thereafter it was natural that these Asiatics should turn to us and say that by all the laws of nations we must give what we take and that as we had come into Asia with our people they had the right to come into America with theirs" This situation, he said, was the real reason for President Roose- velt's action in taking over the Pan anna canal territory at a time when Japan had just emerged successfully from her war with Russia.

Should conflict arise in the Orient from which it were necessary to defend ourselves in Asiatic spheres we can see that before the Atlantic fleet could pass through the canal the canal would be blown into atoms through the operation of those na tions now bordering it. who would cooperate with our enemies for the qualification of real or imagined grievances.

 If we persist in the violation of this fundamental law of nations and continue to press our disadvantage against the sure fate of it's conse- quences, then let us promptly em- bark upon the era of army and navy in quantity and quality, sufficient to defend us against invasion and to protect our possessions.
