One of the regular army instructors

company that those Of them who be

or in battle Is his corporal.
In camp this responsibility is mani

corporal, form a family living together
in one of the big pyramidal or square
tents that have done much to make
the soldiers life in the field comfort

Plan s
mUuY
DAmcE

A combined public market
and municipal dance hall, to
be located in the same build
ing and maintained under
strict city management, was
the latest city hall sugges.
ton Tuesday, following the
public demand for summer
war market.
The city has been offered the
old Mccormack Bros store build
ing, 18th and Pacific, at a greatly
reduced rate.
Mayor Fawcett suggested to the
council Tuesday that the lower
floor could be used for a public
market, and the second floor as a
municipal dance hall.
Councilmen were heartily in
favor of the scheme, and an
nounced that they would accom-
pany the mayor on a visit of in
|spection to the building Tuesday
Afternoon.
Only Place Available.
AS long as we are selecting a
site for municipal market, why
couldn't we start a dance hall at
the same timer" said the mayor.
THE city is sadly lacking in
places of entertainment. feel
certain that municipal dance
hall, operated by the city and kept
under close municipal observation
would be a benefit to the city and
popular with the public"
Mayor Fawcett has made a
thorough canvass of the city and
says that the 18th street build
ing is the only available site for
a new public market. 1t has 10
feet frontage on Pacific ave. and
100 feet depth on 18th street. The
second story is on a level with
Commerce street.
Commissioner Petit declared
Tuesday that he believed the mu-
nicipal dance hall was splendid
idea.
Harmon's Opinion.
II have been doing my best to
urge someone to open entertain
ment features in Tacoma for the
coming summer, and believe that
the municipal dance hall will be
IA good beginning" said he.
City Attorney Harmon an
nounced Tuesday that the city
could not legally establish a war
market on any street or parking.
I'VE might establish the mar
ket, through consent of adjacent
property owners, but they could
force the market to be removed
at any time" he said.
Mayor Fawcett's idea for the
establishment of public market
in large building is that the city
should sub-let booths and stalls to
ranchers, farmers and retailers.

Minneapolis and St. Paul officers

He will probably be turned over

Meanwhile, Redenbaugh con-

sangfroid in the city Jail here,
where he made detailed confess
sion Of the murder Of Mrs. Alice
Dunn in St. Paul and Policeman
Connery in Minneapolis without
showing the slightest emotion.
After he had finished his grew

changing tone, turned to Captain
Of Detectives Matheson and said:

The police have been holding as
