TrimbIe Says Pulpit
Starts 'em WriggIing

UNFOLDING his lecture Sunday
night, when he accused Commits
sioner Mills of permitting vice to
exist openly in Tacoma, Rev. Del
mar II. Trimble of the First
Methodist church today issued a
statement in which he declared
that he firmly believed his pulpit
denunciation had done more to
brighten the underworld than
any other recent effort.
1t was the pulpit that did the
work." declared the minister
when it is clear that the man
who speaks it is speaking not for
the purpose of putting money in
his pocket no rpower into his
party but is speaking 1t because it
is true, as one commissioned of
God to speak it. there is a sus-
gestion of the judgment day
about it that knots the stringy
conscience of these fellows into
contortions of terror"
Continuing, Rev. Trimble said:

indictment against the blood

Strikers
May Tie
Up Ships

More than 800 members of the
Puget Sound Steamshipmen's
union, including oilers, deckhands
and walters, are on strike today.
The strike extends to every
sound steamship line and prom
ises to tie up considerable traffic.
The Steamshipmen's union is an
Independent organization. and is
not affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor.
The strikers are demanding an
increase in pay and overtime.
On the Puget Sound Navigation
Co. s steamers plying between Ia
coma and Seattle, they are de-
handing double shift and over
time.
Although the steamers Tacoma
and Indianapolis have been run
ming with a skeleton crew, they
have managed SO far to make
scheduled time. Unless some I'M
foreseen move is taken, Local
Agent F. s. Jones believes that
the strike will not affect traffic
on his line to any great extent.
The steamer Nisqually came
into port today 40 minutes late,
owing to trouble in leaving Seat
tie. Other steamers which were
left short-handed as a result of
the strike are the Whatcom, Sol
Due, Kulshan, Harvester and the
Waialeale.
1t is believed it will be several
days before the crews of all the
different vessels will have been
called out. The headquarters of
the union and the officers of the
majority Of the navigation COM
panies are in Seattle, where the
strike started.

City Debt
500 for
Every.Cit

Speaking at the Milwaukee
shops this noon, Fred Shoemaker,
candidate for city controller, pro-
duced some figures concerning
Tacoma's financial condition that
made his hearers gasp with aston
ishment. Shoemaker based all
his figures on the U. S. census de-
partment reports, which are i'm
partial and treat all cities
equally.
The candidate showed that Ia
coma's debt was SO great that it
would take payment of 500
from every man, woman and child
In the city to wipe 1t out.
"All of this Indebtedness is not
a charge against general taxation,
but If our light and water plants
should operate at loss or be de-
stroyed the general taxpayer
would undoubtedly be called upon
to pay all of the interest" said
Shoemaker.

STORM HALTs THE FUNERAL
Heavy Rain Kept Persons in Chapel
All Night in Texas
Cemetery.

Hillsboro, Tex.-Sixty-three persons
who gathered in the chapel at the
Brandon cemetery to attend the fu'

spend the night there, being marooned
by the heavy rainstorm which neces-
STATED postponing the interment I'M
til the next morning.
During the funeral service the rain
started and fell in such torrents that
it formed little bitches which ran into
the grave and completely filed it with
mud and water. The grave was cleared
in the morning and the interment held.
1t was too late to return home when
the rain stopped, SO those gathered for
the funeral sent out and got some cof-
fee and sat up all night so us to attend
the burial the next morning.

five miles, they will continue the
search for five miles further in the
same directions. If she is not found
before winter comes on it is probable
that the search Will be abandoned I'M
til next spring.
The expedition is costly one. The
divers are paid as high as $40 day.
1t is said that Captain Stillson will re-
ceive a big bonus if the expedition is
a success, and "fair" compensation if
1t fails.
In marine circles it is believed that
the Merida will not be found. 1t is
figured that in the five years since she
went down she is probably completely
covered by sands, and divers might
walk over the spot where she lies
without knowing it.

EARLY PROJECTS FAILURES
Since July 81, 1866, New World Has
Been in Continuous communiea-

rine Cable,

New York.-It is little more than
a half century since the completion of
the first permanent Atlantic telegraph,
observes the New York Evening World.
Since July q, 1866, the new world has
been in continuous and uninterrupted
communication with the old world by
means of the submarine cable. The
final success was achieved only after
several disheartening failures. As
early as 1913 Prof. Samuel f. B.
Morse suggested the possibility Of an
Atlantic telegraph line.
Just decade later Cyrus w. Field,
a wealthy merchant, became interested
in a plan for laying an underground
cable across Newfoundland and in the
following year, 1851, he secured the CO.
operation of Peter Cooper, Moses Tay-
lor and others in scheme for trans
Atlantic cable. The manufacture of
$500 miles of wire was completed in
1857 and the task Of laying it was COM
menced ut Valentia, Ireland, in August
of that year, two American and two
British vessels being engaged. After
a few miles had been laid the cable
snapped. This was repaired, but after
300 miles of wire had been put down
it snapped again and the vessels re-
turned to Plymouth.
