CHIEF IS
GOINGON
A STRIKE

Chief of Police Harry M. Smith
announced Thursday that he
would resign his position as chief,
and return to his former job as
Bertillon officer of the Tacoma
police department, unless an in
crease in his salary was granted.
Commissioner Petit replied
that any further increases in sal
airy, especially among the higher
officials, were entirely out of the
question, but said he had little
fear that Chief Smith would quit
his position.
If Chief Smith leaves his job,
Petit will be forced to select a
new chief from within the depart
ment. Under the 1917 budget,
only $50 a month is provided as
salary for the chief of police. This
$40 is paid to Chief Smith in ad-
dition to his $500 as Bertillon Of
ficer. He wants at least $500 4
month in all.
THAT extra $40 a month isn't
a drop in the bucket" said Chief
Smith Thursday. why, ! had to
give out $37 last month in small
sums for charity and other pur-
poses, which | would not be called

"If the city is going to give my

day and night, 1t is mistaken"
Smith also declared that Chief
Carlson of the fire department
was entitled to a salary raise.
Carlson gets $3.50.
II firmly believe that the Of
flee of chief of police should re-
ceive at least $500 a month"
said Petit. But the city is in
no position to incur any addi-
tional expense. Chief Smith is a
good officer, and IL he is not too

RIOT

WASHINGTON, d. C., June 81.
Screaming traitors" an angry
mob led by Mrs. Dee Richardson,
attacked the suffrage pickets at
both the west and east gates of
the White House this afternoon,
ripping down their yellow ban
ners and trampling them in the
street.
Miss Hazel Hunkins, one of the
pickets. climbed upon the palings
Of the White House fence, holding
her flag aloft in a vain endeavor
to save 1t. Mrs. Richardson
climbed up after her, and after
a bitter struggle wrenched the
banner away and tossed it to the
bowling crowd.
These banners were old ones,
asking the president what he in
tended to do for suffrage, which
have been displayed at the White
House gates for months.
Police reserves were called out
to quell the rioting, in which sew
eral thousands, including a
large number of women, took part.

An immense public market

Members of the city council adj

been dealing with owners of down

establishing such market, but
would give no detailed informa-
tiop regarding the plans.
1t was intimated that the new
market would be on the southeast

the new market big public COM
fort station for men and women,
which had formerly been contem-
plated for 9th and st. Helens.
Owners OF the property are
planning to erect big public mar
ket, and dedicate TO the city for
free use of farmers, a large part
of the lower floor. This section
would be apportioned to persons
for sale of their own produce, and
would be permanently under con-
troll of the city. The remainder of
the market building would be
rented to retailers.
