Charged with one of the most
daring downtown burglaries at
tempted here in years, Paul Lee
vine, age 10, Tacoma's baby bur-
glar, is held in solitary confine-
ment at police headquarters, while
officials are wondering what can
be done to stop the child's career
of crime.
In company with younger
companion from Mckinley Hill,
Paul climbed a fire escape on
Commerce street at 3 O'Clock We'd
nesday morning, pried open a sec
ond-story window of the Kimball
Gun Store, 1907 Broadway, and
entered:
Select Five Pistols.
The two children selected five
big revolvers from the shelves,
picked out the proper ammunition
for them, and loaded the guns on
the spot.
Then they chose an assortment
of other articles, including two
thermos bottles, and some
watches, tied the articles to their
bodies with string, and slid down
the fire escape again.
The boys were hurrying south
on Commerce when a night watch
man in a warehouse intercepted
them. Dropping part of the loot,
including three of the loaded re-
volvers, the boys turned and fled.
Confess.
The Waterman notified police
headquarters at once. Detective
Osborne, recognizing the descrip-
tion of one of the youths as that
of Paul Levine, went by auto to
a gulch in the east side where the
youth has maintained a rendezvous
for several weeks, and was just in
time to catch the youngsters as
they plodded thru the darkness to
their hiding place.
A rifle, some watches and am
munition, stolen in other bur-
glaries, were found hidden in an
old wagon where the boys had
been sleeping.
The boys confessed to the Kim
ball Gun Store burglary, and later
admitted several other recent
crimes. They intended using the
revolvers in future robberies, they
said.
Paul Levine made his sixth es-

Tacoma Boy Burglar
In New Exploit That
Worries Authorities

cape from the Chehalis training
school two weeks ago, after hav-
ing been dressed by the authorities
in a bright red uniform, to pre-
vent him from running away. He
had abandoned the uniform in the
woods and donned other clothing.
Some Record!
Besides six escapes from Che
halls, the child has a record of
three jail-breaks from the court
house detention home. A long
list of burglaries has been respon-
sible for his many arrests.
Because of the inability of Off
cials to keep the boy incarcerated
at Chehalis, the police will ask
Judge Card of the juvenile court
to send Paul to the Monroe re-
formatory. II such a special or
der Is made, Paul will be the
youngest prisoner in the west.
His parents, residents of McKin-
ley Hill, confess utter inability to
keep the boy at home.

SEPT. "a
DATE OF
BIG SUIT

Two juries may be empaneled
to work in relays in the trial of
the COMBINATIONS of land includ-
ed in the 10000 acre cantonment
site at American lake, which will
begin Sept. "a.
The hearing Wednesday morn
ing in Judge Clifford's court, at
which the date was set, looked
like joint meeting of the Pierce
County Bar association and the
grange.
The court room was crowded
with attorneys representing land
owners, and with farmers and res
idents Of the prairies.
Ehrenbeck Present
The three county commission
ers, and Maj A. r. Ehrenbeck, the
army engineer in charge of the
surveys, also were present.
Discussion of the question of
the method of trying the big case
occupied almost all morning and
will be continued at II a. m. next
Saturday.
The main point at issue in de-
Gliding on the method of proceed
ure is whether verdicts shall be
rendered on all the tracts involv-
ed at once at the end of all the
hearings, or on groups of tracts,
or on individual cases.
Propose Grouping Plan.
The two-jury plan was suggest
ed, and was apparently favored by
most of the attorneys for defend
ants, in order to speed matters up
as the iuries would work on alter
nate cases, and one jury could be
holding hearings in the court
room while the other was out
viewing land.
Another suggestion was that
tracts of similar character be
grouped together, as, waterfront
owners, timber owners, etc.
F. d. Oakley, representing the
T. r. & p. Co. and the Puget
Sound Traction Light & Power
Co., asked to be heard for the pur-
pose of exempting the lines Of the
Companies which furnish light
and power to the army post, Du-
pont, Olympia, ETC., from the suit.
Charles Peterson appeared for
the Pacific Telephone q Telegraph
Co. for the same purpose.

PITY THE
SALUTING
PRIVATES

Privates are at a premium
on Tacoma streets Wednes-
day. Officers of all ranks
are choking the hotels, filling
the street cars, and swarming
up and down the hills in
search of places for their
families.
I've been driving around the
city all day. said an automobile
man, and everywhere I've been
I've seen an officer and his wife
hunting rooms"
Women of the motor division
of the National League for Wom-
ems Service are driving officers
who apply at the Manufacturers
headquarters in the Taco
ma building, to the places they
wish to see, thereby saving them
some time. The first women to
volunteer for this service were
Mrs. Louis Martin and Mrs. A. B.
Howe.
There is tremendous amount
of handshaking on street corners,
as officers from various parts OF
the country run across brother
officers from the same places.
Men who trained together at the
Preside or Fort Riley hail each
other in the restaurants and are
introduced to each others wives.
But privates are conspicuous
chiefly by their absence; and the
occasional Sammy who does stray
into the field of vision is disting-
uished from his future superior OF
ficers not only by his uniform, but
still more by the fact that he looks
as If he knew where he was and
what he is going to do.
But, oh, the saluting he
has to do.

FIRE MEMS STRIKE
BECOMES CERTAIN

AS IA result OF the city coun-
ellis failure Wednesday morn
ing to take any action ON the
request of city firemen for
two-platOOn system I'm the Ia
coma department, "a general
walkout of all men i'm city fire
stations Sept. 10 was declared
certain.
Firemen had given notice that
unless their request was complied
with by Sept. |, they would quit
their posts 10 days from that date.
Wednesday morning was the last
legislative session of the city coun-
Gil before Sept. /.
Commissioner Petit attempted
to get the council to act, by intro
ducing long letter explain'np
conditions in the fire and police
departments.
Petit Urges Matter.
He explained the demands OF
the firemen, saying that a two
platoon system would necessitate
Al additional men in the depart
ment, but would increase the eff
cheney of the fire system greatly
Petit also urged the council act
on his previous request for motori-
cation of the entire department
saying that motor driven appara-
tus would cut expenses and make
1t easier to stand the increased
burden on the payroll.
Petit suggested that day be
set aside for conference with
the firemen, in the hope that their
strike might either he deferred OF
the council could find a way to
grant the requests.
Mayor Feminist.
Il don't see any reason why we
should hire more men on the fire
department right now, when We
are especially short of money
said Mayor Fawcett.
"There'll be plenty of men te
fill up the fire department. We
can't afford to let those men die
tate to u.s."

EDDIE GILLIAN.
Especial to The Timcs.)

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 20.
The smiling winsomeness of
Eddie Gillian has evolved one of
the strangest human triangles
that ever broke heart.
Two men, both wealthy, claim
to be his father.
Eddy's mother is dead
And Mrs. Lila Currier. who has
reared the handsome little fellow,
is determined that neither of the
men shall take him from her.
Now the courts are being in
voked to decide Eddy's fate.
The boy il five years old. In
heritance doesn't figure in the
battle for him. He hasn't red
cent.
But he has a pair of sparkling
eyes, a bubbling chuckle and a
snappy mind that endears him to
everyone he meets.
When he crawled from his
mothers apartment into the
laundry where Mrs. Currier was
washing clothes, Eddy crept
straight into the childless
woman's heart. After Mrs. Gil
hams death Mrs. Currier moth
cred him.
II wouldn't give him up for
all the money in the world" she
said passionately.
DIDN'T Give Him a Cent
81 taught him to walk, to talk.
I've been a mother to him for
four years. What would riches be
without love? ] regard him as
my baby boy.
Not one cent did either of the
men claiming to be his father
ever contribute to his support,
continued the woman who is
fighting for his guardianship.
81 kept him, and with the aid
of kindly neighbors, supplied his
needs. And he has loved me ever
since infancy"
From Virginia
Eddy's mother, born in the
Virginia mountains, came to Ari-
IONA and there met e. Gillian
whom she subsequently married
in this city.
After. her death come
Edward EnOs of Bouse, Ari-
zona, claiming that Mrs.
Gillian had lived with him
as his common-law wife.
Eddy, he said, was his boy,
and he would fight to the
last ditch for him.
Gillian, who married Ed
dy's mother because she told
him that she was soon TO be-
come a mother, is equally de-
termined to gain the custody
of the child.
Enos possesses much property
in Arizona, while Gillian is the
son of very rich woman of
British Columbia. His generous
income was cut off, he said, be-
cause he married Eddy's mother.

MAY Invade

pany will take the field I'm "a
