Coming as an echo of the late
lamented grand jury investigation
of strike disturbances in Tacoma,
the case against Ben Knudsen.
union longshoreman, indicted by
the grand jury on charge of
rioting at the east approach of the
18th street bridge July 16, was
dismissed in Judge Cards court
Friday.
Deputy Prosecutor Phelps NOV
ed for the dismissal. declaring all
the evidence showed clearly that
Knudsen was nowhere near the
bridge at the time of the killing
of young Rangval Lehman, strike
breaker.
Phelps said Knudsen had
complete alibi so far as this dis
turbance was concerned and that
there was no use for the state to
attempt to press the case.
Knudsen was first arrested in
connection with the Sperry mill
riot June 26, but was later dis
missed when the grand jury re-
turned mo true bill" in mis-
case.
After the young strike-breaker
had been shot, his father went to
the longshoremen's hall and pick
ed out Knudsen as the man who
had done the shooting.
All other witnesses agreed that
he was not near the scene.

BARGAIN in
BOOZE, SAYS
STANTON w.

Both sides are holding their
fire in the case against former
Congressman Stanton Warburton,
accused Of bringing 10 gallons of
booze from Chicago to Tacoma in
a trunk.
They have asked time to look
up the nice law points in ques-
ton.
Warburton admitted that he
bought 10 gallons of liquor in
Chicago and checked it in trunk
to Tacoma. But he is standing
on the contention that he had the
constitutional right to bring IL
here for his own personal use.
Also, because the trunk was
grabbed by officials in Tacoma
before he got to it, Warburton Is
claiming he never received 1t OF
had 1t in his possession" in this
dry state.
What he did do, he says. was to
turn in his trunk check and or
der the booze shipped to his resi-.
dence.
incidentally, Warburton sets
out in his statement that the
booze cost him only 70 cents a
quart in Chicago, whereas II he
had taken out permit in Ia
coma and ordered it from abroad
| 1t would have cost him not less
than $1.75 a quart-indicating,
IL is understood, that he had good
reason to get 1t in Chicago.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Gen.
Trevino, Carranzista commander
at Chihuahua City, does not admit
that Francisco Villa captured"
the town as stated in official and
unofficial reports from the bor-

In a telegram here today Ire
vino declares the Villistas were
entirely defeated with heavy
losses.
He charges in addition that the
attack was planned by American
and Mexican political interests"
in the hope OF influencing the
conference of the joint commits
sion at New London.
Trevino's telegram adds:

come when this is more greatly

Against Americas military pre-
paredness program, Sir Rabindra-
nath is vehemently outspoken.

of freedom and world fraternity

he commended.
Once you start in with military
preparedness, you create a force
that can't be controlled or re-
stricted to the uses it is at first
designed for. Such organization
makes men into machines, killing

INSURANCE
IS FOOLISH

Commissioner Atkins sugges-
ton of municipal insurance
company, to replace private COM
panies In case rates are increased
10 per cent next year in Taco
ma, is foolish dream, according
to Fire Marshal Harry G.
Chandler, local representative Of
the fire insurance underwriters.
There's no chance at all for
such scheme to materialize,"
said Chandler Friday.
In the first place, an insur-
ance company has to he incorpor-
ated. 1t has to deposit large
guarantee fund with the state.
And 1t has to be supplied with a
good surplus In its treasury. The
city has no money for this pur-
pose. Atkins is talking through
his hat"
Chandler insisted Friday that
the insurance companies were
not "bluffing" when they threat
ened the 10 per cent increase.
