7 D ACT

Tacoma lawyers who ham
die cases In police court are
"shysters.
The vice syndicate Of Be-
attic is trying to gain control
of the municipal court.
The Times is the local Or
gan Of the BOlesheviki and
COppcrheads.
These are the replies of Police
Judge Graham Thursday to
charges by The Times that he is
pursuing a 18th century form Of
police persecution in his court
rather than maintaining tribunal
of justice.
Attorneys who learned that
Judge Graham was classifying
them as "shysters" declared
Thursday that they would immedi-
ately demand an apology from the
Judge, or start impeachment pro-
ceedings.
Mayor Fawcett, who appointed
Judge Graham, announced that he
was very much dissatisfied with
the courts methods but that he
was helpless to demand any
change.
II have been receiving COM
plants for several months that
Judge Graham was not giving jus
tice to prisoners in police court,
and I have demonstrated with
him." said Mayor Fawcett.
''He is too stubborn to admit
that he ever makes a mistake. /
cannot remove him from his office
because, altho have the power of
appointment. / have not any power
of removal There is no way that
Judge Graham could be removed
other than by impeachment"
Dozens of Tacoma attorneys tel
ephoned The Times Wednesday
evening and Thursday compli-
menting the paper for its recital
of conditions in the Tacoma police
court.
Attorney Frank @. Riley an
nounced Thursday that he had
been retained to appeal the cases
of girls who were convicted with
out hearing Tuesday afternoon.
Wealthy relatives of one of the
girls, employed in Tacoma shoot
ing gallery, have asked the attor-
ney to obtain fair play for the
prisoner.
81 have found this condition at
police headquarters and in police
court" said Riley.

arrested in a spectacular roundup.
They were refused permission to
send for friends or lawyers. The
, police have adopted a rule that no
attorney can talk with a girl pris-
oner unless the girl has personally
summoned him.
without any chance to sum-
mon aid, these girls were rushed
into police court.
'The gag rule was operated here
again. The prisoners were lined
up before the court. Several of
them denied the charge of va
grancy. They started to talk.
Judge Graham shut them up with
a 30-day sentence and ordered
them back to the bench.
II am not interested in any
girl who has a social disease. But
the girls whom / represent, I am
informed, are not in this condition.
II such is the case, will appeal
their cases at once to the supe-
rior court, and have them releas-
ed Immediately under bond"

THAT caused some delay" adj
mitted Crozier.
AT the outbreak of the war we
had very few machine guns on
hand. Nobody ever thought they
would play such an important part
In the war.
Our actual output of machine
guns when we declared war on
Germany was nothing. Some Lewis
guns were being made in this
country for England, but before
we could use these guns we had
to change them to make our am
munition available"
Senator Mcclellan asked why no
part of an appropriation made for
machine guns in 1915 had been
used in providing them.
Part of 1t was allotted in con-.
tracts for Wicker guns, such as we
use In our aviation SERVICE" said
Crozier.
But no guns had been obtain
ed?" asked Mcclellan.
None" replied Crozier.

We'll, what has the war de-

The chief STEP" answered Gro
zier, was the setting of time for
a competitive test of several ma
chine guns. The time was set for
May, 1917. and the test was held
then"
so that II wasn't until after we
had been in Ahe war a month that

on the occasion of the first freeze Of

downfall, and said:

to confde just yet In a chance-made

had taught him that names such as
Bullwith-a-beard are often almost
photographically descriptive. He rose
to his feet to look. A blind man can

wondered at their sudden change of
mind, and the Pathan looked actually
grieved that fight should have been

barbed insults, to rearouse a spark of
enmity, but failed, to his own great
discomfort.
The box was commonplace affair,
built square, of pine, and had probably
contained somebody's new helmet at
one stage of its career. The stenciled
marks on its sides and top had long
ago become obliterated by wear and
dirt. King got up on it and gazed
long at the rows of spectators on the
far side, and having no least notion
what to look for, he studied the faces
one by one.
