Somebody's lying, and I'm
going to find out who 1t is"
This was the only statement
Prosecutor Remain would make
Tuesday with regard to the state

lice Harry NJ. Smith Monday, that
the prosecutors office has releas-

for bootlegging and similar Of

shown apathy to cases brought in

am going to the bottom of this
and see where the trouble is.
For the present l do not care
to make any further statement,
except as to the charge which
Smith is alleged to have made,
that the attorney for a gambler de-
posted $50 bail with this office,
though the gambler had not yet
been re-arested on a state charge,
and that the bail is still here, and
nothing is being done to re-arrest
the gambler.

THAT made me mai. It sounds
as if somebody in this office had
GOT $50. When | first read the
story, | was incline to think 1t
merely funny. Nobody ever de-
posits bail with this office. This
Is not the place to deposit it. To
say that it was deposited here is
simply ignorance.
1.-THE facts are these: Thirteen
men were arrested by the city In
gambling raid. | presume II
was the raid referred to. Twelve
of them were playing and one was
running the game. The II who
we're playing were allowed to put
IN $40 apiece, cash bail, and the
one who was running the game
nut MP $50. This was all with
the city.
81 had nothing to do with tho
case at that time. Presently the
twelve who had put up the $40
each were allowed to withdraw
their bail and go free. on the ur-

put up $50 should forfeit his bail.

Then II came to me on a state
charge. The mans attorney told
me how the city had handled the
case, and | felt that IL that WAS

T TAYLOR
YER SuS
BROWN!
By Edgar G. Wheeler

by Edgar y. wheeler
OLYMPIA, Jan. 16.-
Great commOtion was caused
on the floor of the senate
this morning when Senators
Howard Taylor OF King and
Tom Brown of WhatcOm en-
gagged in a fist fight.
Brown had accused Taylor of
trying to make himself liking
of the Senate" and had made
other accusations against
him.
Taylor had offered Brown
$25 to go into the ante-roOm
and repeat what he said, but
Brown had refused, saying
that he would repeat his ac-
cusatiOns ON the floor.
Taylor reached over
Browns desk and struck him
a resembling whaCk full in
the face.
Brown swung back with
both fists. Then, as Brown
lifted a cane to strike, the
two were separated by the
senators.
While the fight was in
progress, Senator Fairchild
called for the sergeant-at-
arms, but he was nowhere to
be found.
The fight was the outcome of
debate on a dairy and livestock
bill, providing for the killing OF
dogs found with rabies, intro
duced by Brown as a committee
bill.
Taylor objected, saying that the
committee had never met or ap-
proved the measure, and that his
approval, as member of the
committee, had never been OBJ
tanned.
"If the gentleman from King is
to be the great L am of this SEN
ate," said Brown, 81 am ready
to resign right here and go back
home"
Il have no objections to the
gentleman from Whatcom taking
his spleen out on me-" Taylor said
in reply.
Taylor challenged Brown to go
out in the ante-room and repeat
what he had said.
"Fll repeat what I said right
here" Brown replied, and before
the senators knew what had hap
pened, Taylor swung, striking a
hard blow with the palm of his
hand on Browns face.
Brown lost his balance. Recov-
ering himself, he lifted a heavy
cane and was about to strike,
when the two were separated.
81 suppose l should not
have done it," said Taylor
after the fight was over.
but l am tired Of being
made the brunt of every
bOdy's attacks"
While blows were being ex-
changed in the senate chamber
and Floor Leader Taylor was being
called a Great AM" Paul
Houser in the house was calling
Floor Leader Mark Reed a GEAR"
and was accusing him of ordering
the committee on printing to kill
the bill providing for printing the
house journal each day.
Houser accused the organization
of graft in fixing it each session
so that records are doctored up
after the session is ended and
members have gone home.

Omitted Press Leased Wire. ,

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-With only
As hours supply of coal on hand,
Chicago today faced the worst
coal famine in its history.
One public school has already
closed, and others will probably
be forced to dismiss their pupils
today.
Mayor Thompson has announced
that he is ready to seize as an
emergency measure coal in the
Chicago railroad yards in transit
to other points.
Coal that sold for 81 ton in
November is now selling at Sill
to $12.
More than 1000 cars of coal are
bunkered in the Norfolk e West
ern yards at Columbus awaiting
clearance.
"The rationing" of coal supplies
destined for Northern Wisconsin,
Minnesota and North and South
Dakota is already in effect, ac-
cording to one distributor.

WILL SALVAGE
SHIP BY RAIL

EUREKA, CAL, Jan. 16. - A
unique feat in marine salvaging
probably will be attempted on the
stranded U. S. cruiser Milwaukee.
She will be virtually hauled to
the Mare Island navy yard by rail
in pieces.
Naval officers on the scens to-
day had practically decided to
recommend this course.
They point out that it will be
impossible to haul the cruiser off
the sands.
Instead, they propose to build
railroad trestle out 70 her, put
men to work stripping her of ov-
erything portable, loading the
guns, mountings, engines, boilers,
fittings and even the armor plate,
in box cars and sending Them to
Mare Island, nearly 200 miles
away.

conference with Prosecuting
Attorney Remain, which was
attended by Police Capt.
Cornish and Deputy Prosecu-
tor Thompson, Police Chief
Harry VI. Smith announced
Tuesday that there would he
no further friction betwcen
the police and prosecutors
department.
THE whole trouble seemed to
be caused by a misunderstanding
rather than anything else said
Chief Smith.
Il am sorry that any report was
published Monday of my intention
to call on Mr.. Remain. Although
talked with reporters about it,
did not mean for them to print
anything that | said"

As a result of the conference
Tuesday, Chief Smith said that he
would not ask for a special prose-
cutor for police cases.
Remain told the police heads
that his department was only too
gald to cooperate in the suppress
sion of vice, he said.
No Personal Friction.
There is no personal friction
between Mr.. Remain and myself.
OF course, he was pretty angry
over the newspaper reports, and
/ do not blame HIM. but every
thing Is settled and forgotten now.
We will work hand in hand after
this"
Remain explained to the full
satisfaction of the police chief and
captain why certain cases men
toned by Smith Monday had not
been pressed by the prosecuting
attorneys office.
In the case of the gambler who
had forfeited bail in police court
and hurriedly deposited $50 with

as soon as he heard that new
charge had been preferred, Chief
Smith blamed his own department,

east. The police officers did not
hold as witnesses any of the men
who were in the gambling game
So when the case was put M &c the
prosecuting attorneys office, there
was only the testimony OF two
special officers, commonly called
stool pigeons The case was 81
weak that Remain allowed the
gambler to forfeit his bail"
Two charges against Tacoma
physicians arrested several weeks
ago are still pending, Remain ex-
planned to the chief. and would
have been tried in the criminal
court earlier, but for unavoidable
delays caused by attorneys for the

One important result of the
conference was Chief Smiths
announcement that no GRIMM.
al cases of the police viii
hereafter be settled out of
court.
In the past, when prosccut-
ing attorneys for the city or
county wanted to save them

mitted accused persons to re-
duce their bail money AMI

FIST FIGHT TN STATE SENATE!
EXHAUST
SOMETHING
ALL RIGHTLY

To excuse the swift rise in gasoline prices,
one of the big guns in the oil business tells the
public that the end Of the country's supply of
oil and gasoline is almost in sight. So what
would you expect?
In 1873 years, at the present rate, all the oil
wells will be as dry as patent office report.
Therefore, dig up the extra price and be cheer
full about it.
This, though sounding plausible, is bunk.
AS matter Of fact, nobody in America, out
side of the oil companies, need give boot
whether there is much gasoline in sight or lit
tie or none at ALL
Because, for motor purposes, anyway, dena-
tured alcohol is better and cheaper and there is
no end to tor would be none if the oil gents
and others would kindly let us use it,
From the throw-away potatoes, Gull apples,
kitchen garbage or weeds on his place an aver
age farmer, for instance, can get all the motor
juice he needs to run automobile and tractor,
and get it at fraction of the price he pays to
Mr.. Roclefeller's pleasing concern.
Nothing stands in the way but the strange
opposition of the government 1t might help
the farmer to this relief and instead it makes
rules and regulations that keep him tied up
to the oil monopoly. -s---.-a,- .--s~.-.
At this moment, according to all accounts,
Germany is running large part of her autos
and army trucks with alcohol cheaply made
from refuse
But Germany doesn't have any great, pow
erful and subtly managed oil monopoly snoop-
ing around the halls of government
The oil person before referred to has hand
ed us piece Of news about gasoline. We will
now hand him one about his own affairs.
There is something else in this country that
will be exhausted before gasoline supply.
IT Is THE THING CALLED PUBLIC
PATIENCE.
