WOMAN DEAD:
NURSE HELD

BOSTON, June 27.-Charged
with the murder of Mrs. Pauline
Reyes, young Brookline woman
found dead in her home few,
days ago with everything ar
ranged to indicate a case of sui
eide, Miss Harriet A. Varney, a
nurse, was today held at the Ded-
ham Jail for hearing July 6.
When Mrs. Reyes was found
with bullet wound in her right
hand and forehead, with a revolt
yer nearby, her relatives insisted
she was the victim of foul play.
1t was charged this afternoon
that Miss Varney was known in
the town of Upton, where she was
arrested, as Mrs. Harriet
Reyes"
1t is expected the police will
call in certain neighbors of the
dead woman who claim to have
seen a woman who asked the way
to Mrs. Keyes' home a few days
before her death. The woman in
quiring the way declared she had
something to tell Mrs. Reyes
which would open her eyes,"

New Ordinance
Hits Shoemaker

AS an aftermath of last week S
session in Commissioner Gronen's
office, when charges were made
that Controller Shoemaker had
adoted a new system of munich
pal bookkeeping without official
consent, an ordinance was intro
duced at the Wednesday council
session demanding that all books
of the city of Tacoma be kept in
conformity with state standards.
The ordinance provides that
any city official or employee who
fails to comply with the book
keeping rules laid down by the
state auditing board shall be re-
moved from office, after his con-
viction.
Shoemaker admitted changing
the system, but declared that his
present methods were an i'm
provement and detailed continu-
alton of the state system.

"Fawcett Way"
For E Street

Another downtown street will
soon bear a new name, If the city
council acts favorably on a petit
tion presented by 92 property
owners Wednesday.
The petitioners asked that the
name of E street be removed, and
that "Fawcett Way" be the Off
cial title of the thorofare here
after. They urged the action as
a mark of respect to Mayor Faw-
cett. The mayor, incidentally,
lives on Z street.
On motion of Commissioner
Petit, City Attorney Harmon was
instructed to draw up an ordi-
nance calling for the change of
name, so that the council would
have an opportunity to put itself
on record. None of the council
men expressed themselves regard
ing the change.

On Money Basis
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TINES:
Chief Of Police Harry NJ. Smith
yesterday was quoted in your
paper as saying he was going to
arrest women found plying their
trade on downtown streets of Ia
coma, and that they will either
be arrested or run out Of town as
soon as they arrive.
Chief Smith said his order fol-
lows a request from army head
quarters at Washington that the
vicinity OF the army post be kept
clean morally.
III Chief Smith will look up the
word vicinity In the dictionary
he will find 1t says, nearness In
place; proximity.
The government at Washington
did not mean the city Of Tacoma.
Can 1t be possible that Chief
Smith does not know there have
been three girls plying their trade
in Tacoma nearly every night since
he has been chief of police of Ia
coma? There should be no ia
vorites in this business.
What Tacoma needs Is a chief
OF police from a big seaport city,
one with a broad mind that knows
his business.
We have passed the stage of
village like Tenino and have
been kept back too long. If the
chief cannot advance with the
city he should resign his position
to man who knows all the ropes
of big city.
do not believe there is a minis
ter, sensible man or woman in Ia
coma, but will agree with me that
prostitution we have always had,
and always will have. There is
bound to be some soldiers that
will go to city and spend all of
the thirty dollars they get a month
for a good time and meals. Why
not allow them to spend 1t in
Tacoma?
The county voted 100000
for the purchase of an army post
on the prairie, expecting some
revenue in return. The business
men certainly need to make some
money, and they should demand
the chief give them a square deal.
