seized revolver from under his
mothers pillow and shot her
through the cheek, at their home,
7406 South Fife st., early We'd

The shooting was reported
Thursday by A. j. Holmes, for
mer superintendent at the Mis-
qually power plant, father of the

The family had returned late
from a visit at the home of a

awakened by screams coming
from the room in which Mrs.
Holmes slept.

Facts and figures which he
would have given at the Armory
Wednesday evening had his train
not been delayed, were given to
reporters by Mai. Gen. ]. Franklin
Bell, commander of the Western
division of the army, at the Ia
coma hotel Thursday morning.
Gen. Bell, accompanied only by
his secretary, H. F. Myers, Is
visiting Tacoma, Seattle and
Portland on military BUSINESS.
He was taken by Stephen APP
pleby and other Tacoma men to
Roy, Thursday, where he spoke
at melting in behalf of the pro-
posed army post.
1t is hoped his engagements can
be arranged to include a meeting
in Tacoma Friday evening.
If SO, announcement will be
r-ede through the press. He will
leave for Seattle Saturday after
noon.
Cover $50 Acres.
81 have had many inquiries for
figures giving concrete idea of
the size Of such post as it is
proposed to station at American
lake" said Gen. Bell Thursday
morning.
Perhaps as good way to con-
vey it as any is to say that
marching in close formation, the
number of men in such a post
would make a column more than
IL miles long.
"If camped in shelter tents
placed so close together that they
touch each other, they would
cover $50 acres of ground.

ONLY THING WRONG
WITH CLERKS JOB
is LACK OF SALARY

1--WE often heard of men with
out a country, but this is the first
/ time l have ever heard of pub
lie servant having job without
a salary" says Edward J. Hackett,
clerk in Tacoma's police court.
The city council yesterday
passed new salary ordinance,
and eliminated the salary of po-
lice court clerk until Justice
Graham who takes the police
bench next week, decided what he
wants in the way of clerk.
"But they forgot that am still
lon the job, and that the salary
ordinance is to take effect Jan.
l." walls Hackett. Here I am,
on the job, but my pay since the
first of the year has been cut off"

Lawyer, WHO
OCCUPIED TAXI

taxi" lends color to the report that
he is prominent.
The police claim an alibi for
the Western brewer, who was said
to be under guard. Thursday
night this man was said to have
been drinking heavily. He was
taken to a certain house on Fair
mount avenue, said the police, and
remained there until Saturday
morning.
Hunt For Taxi Rider.
The man in the taxi" is said
to come from the west also. Scores
of kilograms have been sent out
regarding him though it is believ-
ed he is actually in this city now,
where the police can lay hands on
him without much trouble.
Just what his connection with
the crime might be, however, 10
question.
He Ia said to be married, with
a family and a fortune estimated
at 100000. Practically every
headquarters detective in Phila-
delphla was out on this new EVIL
dence today-perhaps the missing
link in the mystery.
Bohemia Pays Tribute.
Miss Colbert was buried today

SECOND
VOTE IS
CLOSER

After receiving a telegram from
the Central Labor Council of San
Francisco, In which it was an
nounced that an army post is de-
sirable for any community, from
a standpoint of organized labor.
the Tacoma Labor Council held
another vote Wednesday night on
the question of endorsing the pro-
posed army post for Pierce coun-
ty.
The vote was II for and IA
against.
At meeting last week the La
Dor Council acted on rumored in
formation from opponents of the
army post, and voted the resolu-
ton down by larger majority.
The nearly equal division of
votes Wednesday night is consid-
cred a big victory for the army
post, and indicates that q large
proportion of union labor in Ia
comawill support the bonds.
The telegram from San Fran
cisco follows:
Tacoma Central Labor COun-
Gil, Tacoma:
mo particular economic or
moral effects experienced
here by reason of the lOca-
ton of large army post; we
think an army post would be
desirable for any community.

lately.
"San Francisco Labor
Council,

Secretary"
This telegram was sent to the
Tacoma council in response to an
inquiry sent by union men of this
city.

known as the Preside.
