EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TINES:
| greatly appreciate the stand
you have taken against this agita-
ton for the importation OF Asiatic
coolies into this country under
the pretext of war necessity.
Labor everywhere has signified
its willingness 10 do it's share
and more, too-in this war.
There is internal trouble ahead,
and plenty Of 1t, II capital intends
to try to make this one-sided
truce. Any attempt to deprive la
Dor of its hard-won concessions
regardless of the guise they are
brought forward under-will
surely cause as much trouble now
as 1t would in time of peace.
This is fair sample of what la
Dor has to contend with. Just the
instant vigilance has apparently
been relaxed a little, or labor de-
ponds on capital to play the game
on the square" then and there an
attempt is made to put one
over"

PROPOSE
SITE FOR
MARKET

A group of public market adj
vocates, headed by James A.
Sproule, Tacoma merchant, pro-
posed Thursday that eight vacant
lots between Broadway and Com
merce streets. 18th and 18th
streets, be used as a market site.
The location is near the ship
ping center, and is reached by
five car lines.
Fish and vegetable wagons
could be parked in front of the
site, and products sold direct to
the consumer, Sproule points oft.
Tacoma needs a market place
where both vegetable and fish
men can sell their products, and
here is fine location" said
Sproule Thursday morning.
A. L. Fisher of the Fisher ho-
tel, and DR.. Parks talked with the
various property owners Thursday
morning.
One owner had already told
Sproule that he would give his
consent If his property was used
for that purpose, If the land was
kept clean, and also the street In
front of it.

NEW YORK, May e1.-The
most convincing kind of fashions
are those snapped at some society
functions. Horse shows and race
tracks are famous places for ex-
hibition of absolutely correct
styles.
At the Belmont park races, Mrs.
Angie B. Duke, one of New York's
best dressed young women, was
snapped. in the simplest of frocks.
The costume is perfect at every
point from the broad poke brim to
the slender pumps with the new
square throat"
The loose wristed gloves, enor-
nous pleated neck frill, small
melon-shaped bag, scalloped but
ton flaps and band dress trimming
are separate features of an en-
semble which is sure to be studied
by any girl or woman having a
taste for what is really artistic in
dress.

FIND WAY TO
BEAT JOKER

A trump card" has been I'M
earthed by Assistant City Attor-
ney Carnahan to beat the Joker
found this week in the new state
motor vehicle law.
Carnahan introduced an ordi-
nance at Thursdays council ses-
sion defining a disorderly person
as any motorist in Tacoma who
drives an automobile or motor
cycle at higher rate than that
permitted in the new code.
Punishment of a fine up to
500 or jail sentence up to 80
days is provided. All money col
lected in police court under this
law will be turned into the city
treasury.
The Joker" in the state law
provides that no city in the state
of Washington shall have the
right to control the speed OF mo-
tor vehicles, but that all speed
arrests must be made under the
state law, and all funds turned
over to the state road fund.
THE law allows us to deter
mine who shall be disorderly per-
sons, so we will simply define a
speeder as a disorderly person,
said Carnahan.
The new ordinance takes effect
June 16.

JURORS!
Omitted Press Leased wire.)

SAN FRANCISCO, May 81. -
Progress of the murder trial of
Mrs. Rena Mooney was halted to-
day while Superior Judge Sea-
we'll investigated alleged frauds In
the drawing of jurors.
The demand of Prosecutor Fer
rari that the entire jury OF IL be
dismissed led to the investigati
The name of Daniel Kelly, the
first juror permanently selected,
was found to be in the panel of
100 drawn for the trial of Mrs.
Mooney, but Kelly's name was not
in the list of $500 from which
the panel was supposed to be
drawn.
Kelly's name was found to
have been written in with ink on
the typewriter jury list. Court
Bailiff Mulpieve admitted that he
might have done it" but couldn't
remember.
The clerk of the court was tenn
porarily suspended today because

OF
LIBRARY ASK
AN INCREASE

Complaining that employees of
the Tacoma public library are
more underpaid than In any other
municipal department, the city
library board made formal request
upon the council Thursday for a
general increase in salaries of all
employees. The request followed
a petition for increases, signed by
library employees and presented to
the board.
Although the minimum wage
Tor city hall clerks is SIS, the IT,
brary employees maintain that they
work for two years and one half
at $35 a month, and are then in
creased TO $50. First assistants,
branch librarians and heads of d.
visions receive $50 to SIS. There
are Is persons in the library re-
ceiving less than the minimum at
the city hall, it is argued.
An increase of 10 per cent for
all employees would mean an in
crease of $1.f10 in salaries for the
remainder of the year. A flat in
crease OF $40 month for all en-
ployes would mean a total raise
of 1885. No raise is asked for
any employe receiving 800 or
over.
II think the library employees
are entitled to raise as well as
the other city clerks" said Mayor
Fawcett. Il will leave it to the
salary committee for action"

KEEPING THE RECORD STRAIGHT.

The last time we had occasion 70
mention Golfers Weekly was when we
directed attention to certain article
concerning a reflection on the life and
memory of Captain Henry Wirz, the
Andersonville prison commander. This
time it comes in respectfully calling
their attention to the fact that Tinsley
w. Rucker, congressman for a few
weeks in the late sixty-fourth assem-
bly,, was a representative from the
Eighth Georgia district-and not a
congressman from Missouri"
In a section of Golfers where Com
ment on Politics" receives some atten-
ton, there appears reference to the
swan song" of Rucker and interesting
talk is printed on the good old days
in Washington, the season being
brought to hand through the begin
ming and ending of service for the
Eighth Georgia congressman.
But, just ahead of this error IF
Rucker being from Missouri. comes
criticism of the New York Evening
Post. with a charge that it has not fol-
lowed facts, and says that the editor
knows nothing of what he is talking
about
But for Golfers we would say that
sail the glory of their reference to Mr..
Rucker fades into insigni1cance when
they place him in the state of Mis-
not where he rightfully be-
longs in the grand old state of Geor-
gia. 1t is true that Champ Clark
comes from the show me" state, and
sad to say-so does Gum Shoe Bill'

LAW AND ORDER.

1t is the shame of Alabama this time
that a prominent white man has been
convicted of murder, still the gallows
has been cheated thus far through his
escape from Jail. David Overton, the
former clerk of the Madison county
court, who was convicted of the muir
der of Judge Lawler escaped Tuesday,
carrying with him several other pris-
oners charged with capital crimes.
And worse than all, the press dis
patches tell us that each escaping pris-
oner was armed with a pistol and has
tily left in a waiting automobile. In
other words, the law has been made a
weakling before the conspiracies Of
outside parties, though they be rela-
tiyes and friends.
Such episodes create the germs Of
mob violence and lawlessness. When
Judge Lynch throws his strong arm
around a person there is no judge; no
jury; no pardon. That is wrong, but
nevertheless it is one of the terrible
conditions with which We are con-
| fronted

The WHATCHAMA COLUMN
By George Martin


Spare ribs is a very considerable
meat 1t grows its own handles.
1t comes to the table grouped
around convenient bones. And it sits
up on the plate and behaves itself
while it's being eaten.
Would to heaven we could say as
much for chicken wings.
We have always suspected that the
chicken heard about the arrangement
the hog had made with his ribs, start
ed out to grow its bones accordingly
and makes botch of it.
But the chicken did better with its
bones than some food, at that. Look
at fish. And even the hog fell down
on some points. AS instances pig
