part in swelling the fund"
Sculptor Lewis today has COM

CHARGES
ARE NOW
DEFINITE

Charges that he not only abused
other officers of the dry squad,
but that he made obnoxious and
obscene remarks about Tacoma
women on the streets, were includ-
ed Monday in the explicit state
ment of accusations prepared
against Joseph r. Teale, discharg-
ed police officer, by Chief Smith
and Commissioner Petit. Teale
asked for the specific charges last
week.
While working on the dry squad
recently, Teale made a blasphem-
Gus remark concerning a woman
on Pacific avenue, telling other
officers taht he would have her in
Jail before morning, the charges
say.
He ordered officer Wilkinson to
follow the woman. Wilkinson did

woman walk to the Municipal dock
and meet her husband, who had
Just arrived on a steamer.
Cite Other Cases.
Another charge Is that while
employed in the Old Tacoma dis
trict last year, Teale stopped a
woman who was going to the dock
early In the morning to accom-
pany her husband on a cruise. and
told her that he did not want
women OF her reputation calling
her vile name) ever to appear
In his district.
Last October Teale is charged
with having entered the o. X.
Loan office and with vile language
ordered the pawn broker to deliv-
Or 70 him the books of the office,
together with q coat which had
been pawned there recently. The

In The Times you say, German

go on and say he had nine years
service and excellent record in the
American navy. How, then can
you call him German?
Your logic is at fault. There
is to much hysteria. Citizens Of
German descent are just as loyal
as any others-and a damn sight
more 80; their history shows that.
A little less jingoism would do

burn brightly and where joy-makers
make merry until the wee sma' hours

Savidge once more pulled out the

was almost torpedoed by submarine

Cologne Paper Says
Move Against U. s.

Berlin (Via London), March A.
The Cologne Gazette says:
"As the German minister to Mexico
had definite instructions not to take
steps before being certain that the
United States had declared war, the
venomous accusations ma. be dis
posed Of by referring to the words
just previously uttered by the CHAN
cellor concerning the traditional
friendly relations with the American
nation.
1T is self-evident that we must de-
fend our lives against people which
declares war on US, whatever the past
may have been. We believe that the
publication of the communication to
Mexico has had a salutary effect on
the American people, who now still
realize that Germany does not let it
self be bullied and that If the United
States proceeds to overt hostilities we
mean to fight with every means in our
power"
