WHAT MAKES THE TRUST PRESS so BACK
WARD ON NEWS?-HERE'S ONE THEY MISSED

Biz is sore at you we'll stand behind
you"
B. L. T. of the Chicago Tribune
says that type metal is cheap and
white paper is still procurable, but
evidently the type of the trust press
and the paper of the loop sheets is
too valuable for space for the thought
expressed by the Women's Civil
league.
Their resolution, in full, reads:
Whereas, A board of engineers,
consisting of Col Henry A. Allen,
Claude E. Fitch and Hugh Borland,
civil service employees, has gone on
record as stating that the proper use
of safety devices examined by them,
under the provisions of the ordinance
of June %, 1913, would reduce the
fatal accidents due to unprotected
auto trucks to 2 per cent and would
reduce the serious injuries from the
same cause to 25 per cent; and
Whereas, 1t is with deepest re-
<gret that we learn of the many fatal
accidents occurring daily in our city,
due to the non-enforcement of the
so-called fender ordinance. passed
June %, 1913; and
Whereas, 1t is with profound sor-
row and regret that we learn of the
death of our co-worker and friend,
Catherine Goggin, whose life was
suddenly crushed out on Jan. 4, 1916,
by an automobile truck; and
Whereas, The coroner's jury in
its report of Jan. and recon-
mended that the city council take
Immediate steps tending toward the
enforcement of the safety measure;

Whereas, We a reconstructed to
believe that had the Inflated truck

parted friend been equipped with
safety device she would still be with

influential advertiser is hit by the
story.
A bunch of women, they call them
selves the Women's Civic league,
heard about the fender law and the
hide-and-seek game that the last
two administrations have played
with it
When the speakers had finished
talking to them these women wrote
out long list of things that they
thought about the fender business.
They called them resolutions.
Then they sent the resolutions to
the City News Bureau, a news-gath-
ering organ of the trust press. Some
where between the club women and
the makeup men on the morning
papers the story was killed.
The women also sent copies of
their thought on the fender question
to Mayor Thompson and his chief of
police, C. C. Healey, and they gave
both of them piece of their mind.
They told Thompson and Healey
that it was their business to test out
the fender law, to give it a chance
and not to kill it just because cor
poration counsel, appointed by the
mayor, said the law was no good.
They reminded Thompson that if
the Marshall Field & Co. truck which
killed Miss Goggin had been pro-
tected she would have been recover
ing today. The driver, police and
fender experts admitted that.
The women told him that his bust
ness was to enforce the laws passed
by the city council and let courts
overrule them if they are wrong.
These women, the fourth club of
ladies that has endorsed tenders, ask
ed Healey to give the fender law a
chance. They are out on the streets
daily and know of the. auto truck
danger.

ROME, June 2.-General bru- sati. commander in chiet ot the Italian forces in the Irentino district has been relieved ot his command by order of the war ministry as a result of the new Austrian offensive which has ad- mittedly resulted in the Italians losing much ground in that sec ton.
 The relieving of General Bru- sati is in no way attributed to his lack of capacity but IS the result of an oversight in prepar- ing for the defense of such posi- tions as were attained. l. is said that the general, elated by the rapid Italian advance toward Roverto. neglected to build solid trenches lest time should be lost in the occupation of the city and to this failure is attributed the loss of much valuable ground

Inasmuch as a message was received on the evening of May 3I stating that the vessel was to leave tonight che discrepancy in the two state ments IS somewhat mystifying. It IS indicated that the Seattle cor respondent was mistaken in the sailing date or inadvertently substituted tonight" for the words, tomorrow night" or else the first message was garbled
 during the course of transmits sion. A copy of the printed schedule of sailing dates issued by the Pacific Coast Company, received some weeks ago by Mir. Lilly, gives the date of the sail ing of the Umatilla as June I.

The question of whether the Bear will be able to get in is now assuming tre- mendous importance in the minds of Nomeites but as nothing is known as to the actual state of the ice in this vicinity it is some what difficult to speculate. It | might be a day or it might be a week before the vessel arrives.
