HIDE BOOZE

Are Tacoma women buying al
cohol in the downtown drug stores
and smuggling 1t outside, care
fully hidden in the inner recesses
of their clothing?
This Is the question which is
perpleXing Police Capt. Falconer
and officers of the police dry
squad
Because several men arrested
for intoxication Saturday night
were found by the police to have
alcohol bottles in their pocketx
bearing the label of the Temple
drug store, 18th and Broadway,
two policemen were stationed at
the store to prevent further sale
of the liquor.
All day Sunday the policemen
remained on guard. Every maze
customer who left the drug store
was searched for alcohol or whis-
ky. None was found.
Yet when the Officers investi-
gated the drug store books Sun
day evening, they found the rec
ord of seven sales of alcohol dur
ing the day.
Police officers sayt hey are GER
tain that the alcohol must have
been sold to women, and snug
gled out of the store undert he
noses of the policemen.
If the sales continue, Capt. Fal-
coner threatened Monday to sta
ton a police matrol at the store,
and search all women customers
as well.
The drug store has been raided
several times by police and coun-
ty officers.

Whether Commerce street shall
be opened to traffic once more
and its use as parking space for
private automobiles and army
post buses discontinued came up
before the city council Monday.
Manager Bean of the 7. II. & p.
Co. re-opened the question by
sending a letter saying that the
year had expired in which his
company had been permitted to
remove street cars from the street
and asking that he be either al
lowed to resume traffic there or
get an indefinite permit to keep
off.
Mayor Fawcett and Commits
sioner Atkins announced them
selves strongly in favor of re-
opening the street, declaring that
the thorofare is constantly block
ed now by cars left In the center
of the car tracks. Commissioner
Petit objected that further con-

suit IL the street were opened. No
decision was made by the council.

will visit these cities before it recorn- mends a site for the plant.
 Protests against the recommendations submitted by the original board that the armor plant should not be located within 200 miles of the coast line was made to- day to Secretary Daniels by delegation from Richmond, who sought to obtain the award for that city. They con tended that the coast area could not be excluded on the assumption that it was unsafe or insecure in time of war; that Richmond was never captured during the four years of the war between the states and could defend itself today against any foe. Another argument advanced for the coast territory was that 1t contained B per cent of the country's population, pro- duced F per cent of the natural resources and that should it be captured the fate of the nation would already be decided. the remainder of the country being unable to continue the war unsupported by the population and industrial works in that territory.

LEADERS CONFER

Washington. January 24.-F'ive demo- cratic leaders of the Senate, three of them members of the foreign relations committee, had long conference with President Wilson tonight at the White House. Afterward all of them refused fatly to talk.
 In the conference were Chairman Stone and Senators Ponerene and Salisbury of the foreign relations committee and Snatorqs Walsh and Hoke Smith. 5 The President is much interested in the efforts of Senator Cummins and other republicans to force an open debate on his peace address. and in some quarters it was believed that it was in this con- nection that the senators were called to the White House. There have been sug- gestions that In order to prevent interfer- ence with legislation by daily discussions of the Cumnlins resolution to set aside next week for debate, the administration might favor either fixing limited time for the debate now or an agreement to postpone it until the Senate holds it's ex- tra session after March 4.
 It is understood the subject was dis cussed only generally and that no attempt was made to agree upon any plan of action.
 The legislative programme was talked over and the President is said to have urged the importance of passing water power legislation before the end of the session.

SLIGHT RALLY IN
 COTTON MARKET
After Early Decline Gen eral List Closes Steady
 With Net Advances

New York. January 24-An early de- cline was followed by sharp rallies in the cotton market today with May sell ing up from 1s.sSc to 17.24c and closing at 1T. 15c The general list closed steady at net advance of to 10 points.
 The market. opened easy at an advance of 4 points on January but generally 9 to r points lower. under renewal of the realizing which had developed on the bulge of yesterday afternoon. Liverpool did not fully meet yesterdays local gains which may have promoted some scattered selling and active months sold IS to 20 points net lower shortly after the call, with March touching 1s. 7Oc and July 1s.s7c The pressure, however was by no means active or aggressive. Offerings appeared to be quite readily absorbed by a scat tering demand from shorts or trade buy ing and the tone soon became firIner Trading was very quiet on the earlier stages of the rally, but demand was stin- ulated during the afternoon by reports of an improved demand from dofnestic spinners and continued free clearances. A few stop orders were uncovered as the market sold through the high point of yesterday, and active months showed net advances of 1s to IS points, with March selling at IT 05c and July at 17.22c in the later trading. Realizing caused final reactions of some 9 to 10 points. General business was quiet during the day and prices seemed sensitive to comparatively small orders either way. The bullsh average of private spot advices, however appeared to make more impression on sentiment than recently, while the large clearances of the past two days evidently served to create rather a more cheerful view of shipping conditions than pre- vailed at the beginning of the week, The Liverpool mail advices were quoted to the effect that Manchester had still a great deal of cotton to be secured before the end of the season and there was a tendency in some quarters around the ring here to increase estimates of the seasons exports. There were also re- ports that Manchester spinners were urg- ing the Liverpool cotton exchange to re- main open on Saturdays.
