 WITNESSED.
(Associated Press.l

TACOMA. Nov. 19.-Before d crowd of more than 300 people. who were holding their breath in suspense. Archie Crisp, known all over the United States as the Human Fly scaled the four story Knights of Pythias temple at noon today and cached the top in few mi7G-< Fe then stood on his head while crowds enthusiastically applauded his feat.
 Crisp performed the act in his stocking feet and climbed by the process of hanging on to little crevtces and lodges with his toes and fingers. Once he slipped and the crowd gasped, but he turned around and laughed and started climbing again.
 Near the top of the building is an overhanging ledge which juts from the remainder of the build ing by two feet, and the con- census of opinion among the spectators was that he would be unable to get around this ledge. Crisp, however, braced himself on the narrow ledge and drew himself over the ledge by his hands and by swinging one leg over the top, he gained the roof.
 Crisp first began his work of climbing buildings in Minneapo- lis on a bet His first attempt was a four-story building He liked the sensation and has been doing it ever since. He plans to climb the 42story Smith build ing in Seattle some day.

The note was not in the nature of a request. but was a demand which made no explanation of the attitude of the Entente Allies in making it.
 Greece has now been humiliat- ed to practically the greatest ex- tent possible. She has seen her navy go over to the side of the Allies. Then the powers of her police were demanded Later came the demand for the con- trol of her railroads and other transportation facilities. and now comes the demand that she give up the arms and munitions of warfare which she possesses. Her sovereignty is all that is left her.

the classic international Grand Prize

single stop in the whole race. The
winners time was $3.50 mile, per
hour Patterson averaged 1913 and
Rhodes made an average of 1927
miles per hour. OF the p starters,
but six stood up and were running
at the finish All these save the two

of being connected in some way with
a postoffice robbery.
Jensen is alleged to be a dope fiend
and frequents places where he can Sc
cure the drug. Several physicians in
the Twin Falls section report that
their supply of drugs had been stolen
and the officers also hold Jensen in
connection with these affairs. He adj
mitted at one time to the police that
he had been in Pocatello a shomt time
and this lead to his being connected
with the robbery of the nixon post
office When, however, he was asked
if he had ever been to nixon, he de-
MED he had ever been in Pocatello.
When searched by the police he had
in his possession ten finger ends out
of gloves, which the officers believe
the prisoner used in connection with
his alleged robberies to hide finger
prints. Also a bunch of skeleton keys
and a clever instrument, which could
be used to turn and push out keys
on the inside of door were found on
the prisoner.
His case is being thoroughly inves-
tigated and as Jensen admitted that
he had spent considerable time around
st. Anthony it was stated he was also
suspected of being implicated in the
robbery of the postoffice at Chester
located several miles from st. An
thony which occurred last month. Al
Chester, postal funds as we'll as mon
ey, belonging to the postmaster were
taken.
