believe he has been one of the
most constructive, efficient
statesmen America has ever had.
IF he made statements attrib-

of him.
"The U. S. senate is the body

that special interests have been

Now that has all been forgotten"
Attorneys Sullivan, Robert Ev-

made vigorous speeches in behalf
of the resolution, denouncing La
Toilette as un-American and a
traitor.
Nichols and Lyons, spoke
against 1t, declaring that such ac-
ton was outside the province of
the bar association and that it
was convicting a man without CIV

Every member of the bar asso-

those who have were urged to

certain members of the Gem

The resolution adopted by the
trades council members declares
that those labor men who advo-

Resolutions denouncing u. s.
Senator LaFollette and urging
that the senate expel him as a
member and that he then be in
termed for the period of the war;"
were passed by the Pierce County
Bar association at special meet
ing held in Judge Cards depart

Three Against.
There were three dissenting
votes to the LaFollette resolu-
ton, one of them from Superior
Court JUICE C. M. yesterday. The
others were Attorneys J. w. Mich
OILS and Charles Lyons.
The resolution, introduced by
Attorney p. c. Sullivan, was as
follows:
Resolved by the Pierce Coun-
ty Bar association,
Whatever may be the motives
of Senator LaFollette, we believe
the attitude which he has taken
is one tending to aid the enemies
of America and to retard the eff
cient prosecution of the war by
this country.
1--WE believe there should be no
federation of any such conduct,
and therefore ask that the senate
of the United States expel Sena-
tor LaFollette as member there
OF, and that he then be interned
during the period of the war.
THAT copy of these resolu-
lions be sent to the senators from
this state and to the vice presi-
dent of the United States"

Judge yesterday, in explaining
his vote against the resolution,
declared he was strongly opposed
to the idea of bar association,
including judges and lawyers,
passing judgment on and con-
victing q United States senator
without having the facts in the
case before 1t.

The man elected to flee rather
than fight. He took to the fire
escape. Doherty ran outside and
peppered bullets against the wall
of the hotel as the man Skinned
down the iron ladder. When the
man fell on the sidewalk Doherty
thought he, had hit him, and
ceased firing. But the target
picked itself up again and fled at
full speed.
A crowd gathered at once and
held Doherty for the police. Since
no charge was made against him

BUILDING COUNCIL
FEELS CONTEMPT

an invitation to Senator LaFol-
lette of Wisconsin to deliver an
address under the auspices of the
Tacoma Central Labor Council,
and
Whereas, The delegates who
composed a majority of those vot-
ing to- extend an invitation to
Senator La Toilette are very
small minority of the total union
labor membership in Tacoma and
in taking this action expressed
their personal desires instead of
the feelings of the overwhelming
majority of the Trades Unionists
of Tacoma, and
Whereas, The resolution or re-
port of the committee on the
question of extending an invita-
ton to Senator La Toilette was
worded In such a manner that it
was made to appear that a refer
endum vote of the trades union
membership of this city was to be
taken on the question, while as a
matter of fact it was not refer
endum vote, but a cunningly dis
guised scheme to cover their
tracks and dispose of a sufficient
number of tickets to finance in
advance the bringing of Senator
La Toilette to Tacoma, and
Whereas, The Tacoma Central
Labor Council, being. a regularly
chartered body of the American
Federation of Labor, legally occu-
pies the position to speak for the
entire labor movement of the city,
therefore the entire labor move
ment of the city becomes respon-
sible for any and all actions of
the Tacoma Central Labor Coun-
Gil, and
Whereas, Regardless of the eff
forts and accomplishments of
Senator La Toilette in advocating
and securing legislation long
sought by the trades union move
ment, all of which is fully ac-
knowledged and appreciated
gives neither Senator La Toilette
nor his misguided friends and ad-
mirers any reason or excuse to
bring him to Tacoma to explain
or attempt to justify his actions
as the chief pro-German and
anti-Wilson leader in congress
therefore, be it
Resolved, BY the Tacoma Build
ing Trades Council, chartered by
the Building Trades Department
of the American Federation OF
Labor, that the action of the Ia
coma Central Labor Council ex-
tending an invitation to Senator
La Toilette to come to Tacoma
under the auspices of the Tacoma
Central Labor Council, be un-
qualifiedly condemned, for It can
serve no other purpose than to
foster disloyalty to the United
States Government and the
American Federation of Labor
and be 1t further
Resolved, That the Tacoma
Building Trades Council in regu-
lar meeting assembled on this
the 2Srd day Of October, 1917,
disclaims all responsibility for ex-
tending an invitation to Senator
La Toilette to come to Tacoma
and will refuse to in any way or
manner support or patronize this
movement. And be 1t further
Resolved, That the Tacoma
Building Trades Council by unani-
nous vote demands that the Ia
coma Central Labor Council re-
scind its action in taking any
steps to bring Senator La Fol

MUST
FACE
CHARGE
Motion to Dismiss the Case
Against Jack Hooker De-
MED by Judge Cole
LEIGHTON ON THE BENCH
Will Try Hooker Case While
Judge Cole is Sitting on
Supreme Court Bench

Arguments on motion to dismiss the
case of the state against John L..
Hooker, proprietor OF the Broadway
hotel, charged with manning. were
completed in the district court this
morning and were denied by Judge A.
T. Cole. .
The defense asked for the dismiss
SAL first on the grounds that Hooker
had been bound over to the district
court on a charge OF assault and bat
terry whereas the information filed by
the states attorney in the district
court charged him with manning, a
greater offense than that for which he
was bound over, and second that the
information should have been filed for
the November term Of the court, that
being a jury term.
Both motions were denied by Judge
Cole, it being held that the states at
torney had a right to increase the
charge inasmuch as Hooker had been
although bound over on an assault
and battery charge. The court held
on the second motion that though the
November term Of the court is nomin-
ally jury term, no jury had been
called for that term.
The hearing started this afternoon
with Judge K. E. Leighton of the
Eighth judicial district on the bench.
Judge Leighton arrived in the city
last night from his home in Minot,
having been called to occupy the Third
district bench in the absence Of Judge
A. T. Cole, who leaves this evening
for Bismarck, where he has been call
ed to sit on the supreme bench.
Hooker is alleged to have kicked
and broken one Of the legs of Fred
Heinnig in an attempt to eject him
from his hotel at SO Broadway.
