GALE, BUT NO
DAMAGEHERE

Tacoma hasn't been hit nearly as
hard by the storm of the past
three days as it might have been.
Although the wind and rain
reached its maximum Friday morn
ing. no damage was reported here,
and federal statistics showed that
Tacoma was getting off easy COM
pared with the rest of the North
west.
The wind at noon was 80 miles
an hour in Tacoma. At Tatoosh,
Washington's outpost in the Pa
cific ocean, a gale of 60 miles was
sweeping towards shore. Seattle's
wind averaged so miles.
Electric Supt. Evans declared
Friday that the storm has not caus-
ed a single accident to the city's
power plant or the distribution
system.

It Ran Down
Hill, Anyway

Sir Walter Raleigh was out
done in the act of chivalry Friday
morning, when, in the midst OF
the violent rainstorm, two deputy
sheriffs pushed Ford auto down
the street, after it refused to go
by itself.
1t was like this. Two portly
negro women tried to crank their
Ford standing IN front of the
courthouse. 1t refused to bulge.
The two deputies, Frank Long
mIre and ChilberS, saw the eatas~
trophe and tried their haGd at
lcranking.
Sill it was obstinate. Then
the two Sir Walter Raleighs
pushed the car to the corner and
started it down the 18th street
hill. The women went shooting
down.
1t has not been learned whether
the engine started.

HITBY
DEBRIS

Injury to two little school girls
by falling plaster from the walls
OF one of the fourth floor attaic
rooms of the Bryant school Thurs
day. afternoon has increased the
indignation of parents of the dis
trict who, in mass meeting We'd
nesday night, entered a protest
against the school boards plans to
spend $4,000 in repairs and
threatened instructions unless
proper rebuilding was done.
The accident has increased the
determination of the mothers of
the Bryant district either to have
a new school building to replace
what they declare is a firetrap. or
to take their children from the
classes.
Two Badly Injured.
More than score of pupils
were assembled in the attic room,
used as music room, when a
large chunk of plaster suddenly
broke loose and fell from the cell
ing, striking many of the children
below and causing a small panic
among them.
Ruth Skewis, age -, Of 625
South Trafton street, was struck
on the head and badly cut and
bruised. Her injuries required
medical attention.
Catherine Rhea, ~, of $50
South Trafton. was hit on the
shoulder by a piece of the falling
plaster. In trying to escape from
the room she fell and injured her
knee.
During Recital.
One small boy is reported to
have been completely covered by
the plaster. Other children were
struck, but escaped injury.
The accident occurred at 3 p. m.
while the children were attending
a class directed by Miss Cora NJ.
Adams.
The housing of the children in
attic rooms where windows to the
fire escapes are five feet above the
floor, was condemned at Wednes-
day nights mass meeting, and was
declared to be hazardous by the
special examining board which
termed the school "fire-trap" in
1915.
Committee Appointed.
r. A. B. Young, who presided at
the mass meeting, has appointed a
committee to appear before the
school board next week and de-
mand the erection of a new two
story building adjoining the pres
ent one to accommodate the attic
pupils.
This committee, announced Fri
day. includes Rev. Frank Dyer,
Roy Thompson, E. Dew, DR.. J. R..

head, ID. B. Lung, Mrs. V. H.

The accident yesterday perhaps
will serve to convince the school
board that new building is need
ed IL the lives of our boys and
girls are to be safeguarded when
they attend school," said Mrs. F..
II. Skewis, mother of one of the
little girls who was injured.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
March 23. - Germany's lat
est affrOnt in the tor
pedoing without warning
of the American tanker
Healdton will be answered by
continued speeding up of all
preparations for actual hos
tilities which are now regard
ed as inevitable.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing are convinced that Ger
many's present course is merely
fastening a clash.
The president and his premier
are known from the highest and
most authoritative sources to have
held the firm onviction-even be-
fore the sinking of the Healdton-
that the kaiser's government is de-
termined on forcing declaration
of war from this country.
The state department officially
declared today that it would not
receive an offer of mediation to
head off war between the U. s.
and Germany. The discourage
ment which Ste. Lansing and other
official heaped upon the project
yesterday probably will prevent
any neutral from formally offer
ing mediation services.
May Enlarge Cabinet.
There is indication today that
the president, after congress has
defined the status between Ger
many and the U. s., will augment
his cabinet by one or more posts
to cover the work of transporta-
ton and possibly portfolio to
handle the work of munitions
making.
President Wilson Is personally
directing all Of the war prepara-
tons.
Secretary Baker as chairman of
the national defense council, is
preparing to meet heads of great
industrial concerns to discuss
what work is necessary to COM
plete tentative plans OF place the
country on war footing.
Hurry Preparations.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels
is directing his efforts to stimulate
recruiting and hurry warship con-
struction.
While the navy department
bends every energy toward making
that arm of the service more eff
fective than ever before, the war
department continues its more or
less secret steps toward calling to
arms every regular, reserve and
national guardsman when the mo-
ment to sound the call Is pro-
pitous.
