FIRES FOUR SHOTS INTO
WALL OF ROOMING HOUSE
Fruit Packer Tanks Up and Shoots
Across Room Just for the
Fun of It

Chief of Police Copeland answered
a hurry-up call last Thursday evening
to find that L. Moore had fired fou,
shots from revolver thru the wall OF
a room in the Cottman Rooming house
Moore made his escape before the
police arrived and has not been heard
of since. According to Miss Jennie
Schrieber and R. Ingersoll, who wit
messed the shooting, the affair was
nothing more serious than the careless
prank of an intoxicated man.
According to the story of these two
Mr.. Ingersoll was visiting in Miss
Schrieber's room when Moore, who had
been drinking, joined them. The three
talked awhile when Moore picked up a
small calibre revolver and without a
word of warning fired four shots into
the opposite wall.
Ingersoll was taken into CUSTODY as
a witness and warrant was issued
for the arrest of Moore, who could not
be located in the city. At the sugges-
ton of Judge Staser, Chief Copeland
returned to the rooming house to take
charge OF Moore's personal belongings
but found that they had been remov-
ed. 1t was learned that they had been
removed from the rooming house by
Harry Hill, a local barber, who was
arrested the next morning and paid a
fine and costs amounting to $14.7O.
The local authorities being convinc-
ed of the truthfulness of the story as
told my Miss Schrieber and Ingersoll,
released the latter from custody and
made no special effort to apprehend
Moore.
Miss Schrieber and the two men are
expert fruit packers and came here
rom California, where they were ac-
Iuainted.

Mr.. Wilson is the builder of the oil
macadam which was laid on Second
street between Pacific and Washing
ton streets three years ago. He was
brought here by the city council to
tell them what might be done to make
the newly improved streets like the
one he built. After inspecting the
streets Mr.. Wilson said at small adj
ditional expense they can be made as
good as the three blocks of old ma
cadam. He was ordered to draw up
plans and specifications for the addi-
tional work which are to be considered
at an adjourned meeting tonight.
According to Mr.. Wilson the council
went estray in attempting to follow
the old specifications which he says
were amended by verbal agreement
between him and the old council. In-j
stead OF using screened gravel for the
base he used two inches of gravel Just

EMBASSY PINS FAITH
IN ULTIMATE SUCCESS
OF RUSSIA'S THREE MS

The Russian embassy still pinned
Its faith on the three "K's"-Keren-
sky, Korniloff, and Kaledines-the
three strong men OF Russia Korni-
lon, only yesterday disgraeed and
with his life in Kerensl1y's hands, to-
day loomed up as the possible savior
of his country.
Entente and Russian officials admit
that they are counting on Kornilofr
and Kaledines to. restore discipline
in the army. On Kerensky they place
the burden OF untangling the snarled
political fabric out OF which is to
emerge a stable government
Optimistic at Embassy.
While the embassy was without Of
fcial information regarding the rapid
turn OF events, a decidedly optimistic
feeling prevailed today.
All along, officials have declared
positively, that the Bolsheviki could
not endure. Kerensky, It was admit
ted, overbid his hand In letting
Lenine, Trotsky and their MaximAlist
colleagues go the limit.
Knowing the peoples jealouSly Of
revolutionary liberties, the provisional
government in past has hesitated in
taking suppresive measures, fearing
that q misstep might Jeopardizs all.
With the army and people support
ing Kerensky for the second time,
there ..is little reason to believe that
the provisional government will again
let another crisis crystallize.
His plan had been to give them
enough rope to hang themselves. But
In accomplishing their own destruc-
tion he overturned the skeleton po-
litical superstructure upon which the
scaffold was built.
Allied Diplomats Pleased.
Entente diplomats were frankly
pleased with the progress made by
local government forces. As far as
the. allies are concerned. Russia's
temporary DETECTION has not mater
tally embarrassed the entente in q
military way. In fact, officials be-
lieve now that the present climax
was absolutely necessary in Russia's
evolution for Utopian idealism to
sound political government.
That the Observation-Disclosures
menace will be permanently disposed
of by Kerensky in the next few days
or possibly weeks, was predicted by
Russian embassy officials. The iron
hand will rule radicalism in the fu-
ture, 1t was stated.
