BATTLE
FIRE I'm
COUNTY

Two stores, the postoffice and
a large warehouse were destroyed
by fire at kapowsin early Friday
morning, with loss of approXi-
mately $4,000.
Tacoma firemen, who re-
sponded to a nappeal for help
sent out by Kapowsin residents at
o'clock, reported that the fire
was undoubtedly of incendiary
origin. County officials are in
vestigating.
The blaze originated in the gen.
eral store of Walter Schulz,
spreading 70 the store of Charles
Fix, in which the postoffice is To-
Gated, and from there jumping to
the large storage warehouse of L.
Stoler.
When Kapowsin begged for
help at 3 o'clock the fire was
spreading so rapidly that there
seemed little hope of saving any
of the town, or the big Kapowsin
sawmill.
The city's newest motor-driven
combination pumping engine and
hose car was dispatched, making
the 26-mile trip up the mountain
road in less than an hour. But
the efforts of citizens, who pump
ed water from Kapowsin lake,
aided by a heavy rain which be-
gan falling shortly after the fire
started, prevented the blaze from
spreading.
The three frame buildings
which formed the business Sec
ton of the town were completely
destroyed when Tacoma firemen
arrived. The firemen took the
places of exhausted residents in
pouring water over the ruins and
preventing any further spread OF
the fire, and then returned to
their station in Tacoma.
Why anyone should want to set
fire to the Kapowsin buildings is
a mystery, officials say.

Evidence showing an alleged at

ter and sell her into white slav-
cry, was placed before Judge East
erday in the juvenile court Fri
day in the trial of Frank Paris.

The hearing was behind closed
doors.
One of the chief witnesses was
the child's mother, who claimed
that Paris for more than two years
has been trying to induce her to
turn his daughter over to him.
After bringing ruin to the child,
it is alleged, the father intended
to take her to Seattle and place
her in a lodging house there.
The arrest of Paris came about
Thursday thru the departure of
the girl from her home in Carlo
nado to take a job in a hotel at
Wilkeson. The father followed
her.

UNABLE
TO FIND
MOTHER

The sheriff's office in Tacoma
has Joined Friday with officers in
Seattle and Portland in the search
for the parents of little 9-year-old
Gladly Allie, believed to have been
kidnapped from her parents in one
of the Northwest cities more than
year ago.
They are also hunting for man
who goes by the name of Robert
Romaro, alleged to be the kid
naper.
The search is being made on the
basis of the story told by the girl
to the sheriff of Trumbell county,
Ohio, who now has her in his GUS
tody.
Widely Travelled. -
Homeless and bewildered af,
being forced to travel over the en-
tire country with her kidnaper, the
child cannot say for certain where
her home was, but believes she
lived in Portland and was taken
from there.
Her fathers name is George
Allie and her mothers name Is
Belle, but she has no idea where
they are living.
: The childs account of the kid
naping, as sent here by the Ohio
sheriff, was this:
Her father had gone shopping
aud her mother wags sick in bed,
when two men came to the house
and forced her TO go with them.
She was then taken to Chicago,
Pittsburg, New York and Buffalo
and other cities by Romaro.
Ransom Demanded?
Suspicion arose when it was
learned that Romaro was forcing
her to use his name, giving her the
name of Hazel and compelling her
to call him father"
Romaro, among other state
ments, claimed to be secret serv-
Ace officer of Seattle.
The reason for the silence on
the part of the parents Is believed
to be the fact that they are we'll
TODD, and that the kidnapers have
been trying to make them pay
ransom.
Deputy sheriffs in Tacoma FRI
day got in touch with all persons
by the name OF Allie living in Ia
coma and vicinity, but were un-
able to find a trace of the parents.
The child is described as having
dark eyes, hair and complexion.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. IA.
The United States is aiming at
sweeping German intrigue out OF
three nations--Argentine, Sweden
and Mexico. And she would con-
vince Teuton liberals that the
world is unsafe while such plot
ting exists.
That is the meaning behind new
revelations of Swedish partnership
with Germany, shown by letter
of German Minister Won Eckhardt,
Mexico, to the German chancellor,
published by America today.
This letter proved that Sweden
has been not alone a messenger
for Germany, but also directly in
league as spy with her. Won Eek
hardt openly declared in his letter
that Folke Cronholm, Swedish
charge at Mexico City, would give
news from a hostile camp"

States "has the goods" as to Ger

Height, 5 feet, 4; weight, $50;
