MRS. MOTTET
PASSES AWAY

Mrs. Charlotte White. Mottet,
wife of Frederick Mottet and
prominent Tacoma church and
social worker, died Monday even
ing at the age of 81.
Mrs. Mottet was known turnout
the city and has made hundreds
of friends thru her activity in
church organization. much of
which was done in connection
with the Church of the Holy
Communion.
She was the first vestry clerk
of the church, when it was but a
very small parish, and she work.
ed steadily to create the flour
isling parish which it is today.
She was also closely connected
with clubs and societies, in which
she was active until q year ago,
when she was confined to her
home.
Altho Mrs. Mottet was unable
during the last year to go out
side of her home, she has done
great deal of work for the Red

CONCERTS
AT PARK

There will be band concerts in
wright and Point Defiance parks
for the Fourth of July celebration
this year, it was finally decided at
a meeting of the park board Mon
day.
These concerts have always
been popular with Tacoma people,
but because OF disagreements
among the members of the last
park board the out-of-door con-
certs have not been enjoyed for
some time.
The park board also decided
to ask for the transfer of the 20
acres of land on the shore line of
American lake donated by the
Keystone Land e. improvement
Co. i'm 1914. This land Is situated
near Murray and is circled by the
car line.
The squirrels must go. This
was another decision reached after
they had heard a report OF John
II. Bowles that the squirrels were
destroying the birds nests and
eating the eggs. Il was agreed
that the birds are the more valu-
able in the parks.

CannedWhale
Is In Demand

With the arrival of the first
cargo of whale oil, consisting of
$500 barrels, received Monday
by the North Pacific Sea Products
Co, Tacoma as a headquarters for
a whaling concern appears to be
a reality
AS the huge tanks which are
to hold the oil here have not been
completed, the oil from the
vessel was transferred to the
tank cars and shipped directly
east.
In addition to the oil industry,
the new company is doing big
business in supplying whale meat
for table consumption. More
than 20 tons of it has been sent
to Boston, Mass.
The new dish has met with
great success there, and now a de-
mand has arisen for canned
whale meat.
The proximity OF this COM
pany probably will furnish Taco
ma housewives with all OF the
new sea food they will be able to
use.

TROOPS AT
BLACK SEA
BY Joseph Shaplen
by United Press Leased Wire.

STOCKHOLM, June 25.-Three
thousand German troops, accom-
panied by a cruiser, two destroy
ers and "a submarine, have landed
at Porti, near Batum, it was learn
ed today.
They probably seek to effect
complete occupation of the eau
casus, thus threatening the Brit
ish in Persia and Mesopotamia. 1t
is believed they will Immediately
dytend their occupation to the
provinces of Kuban aud Kutais.
A serious disturbance occurred
in Moscow when the bolsheviki
arrested all of the SO members of
the workmen's conference who de-
manded constituent assembly.
The bolsheviki are getting di-
rect aid from Germany for their
fight against the Siberians and
Szecho-Slovaks.
The wave of protest against the
bolsheviki and against the Brest
Litovsk is spreading.
Batum is an important seaport
on the southeastern shores of the
Black sea. 1t is connected by
railroad with Baku, the great oil
center on the western shores of
the Caspian. Porti is about 25
miles north Of Batum.

PROTEST MONOPOLY
OF CHINESE IMPORTS
(Ry Associated Pressl

PEKING. Dec. 30.-The American
legation has lodged protest with the
Chinese governmental authorities
against the sanctioning of an export
and import monopoly by a Chinese
limited liability company, plans for
which were put forward by Tsao Julin,
acting minister of France, and Tien
Wen-lich, minister of Agriculture and
Commerce.
The company is to have a capitaliza-
ton of $5.O000O0 with shareholders
limited to Chinese citizens, and is to
begin operations Immediately the
shares are subscribed The objects
as set forth in the Official Gazette are
to deal in all sorts of raw and manu-
featured articles both export and i'm
port. and to act as agents for the gov
eminent, for companies. for business
firms or individuals in handling both
exports and Imports
Article Six of the Regulations" con-
tains the feature to which especial OBJ
lection is made blythe American Le-
cation as a direct contravention of
American treaty rights on the ground
that it creates a monopoly which
would effectively shut out off compe-
tition by American firms or corpora
tons in the Chinese market. The
article provides:
"All commodities which can be Sex
ported or imported only on special per-
mits from the government shall be
handled by the company by special
permits.
when the government or any or
ganiZation under the control of the
government needs articles, this COM
pany shall be appointed the agent by
special permit to purchase the goods
required"
Another article provides that when
the government wishes to stimulate
trade in any native products" it shall
notify the company of the fact and
shall order the company to take meas
ures to increase the import or export
as a part of its obligation"

conduct the institutions is not revealed in the
recent reports, but as there are no charges OF
waste or extravaganza there is no reason to sus-
pect that such conditions exist. Consequently
many of the increased expenses may be set down
to the same causes that increase the cost of living
in private homes. The states wards must be
housed, fed and clothed, at an increased cost
to the taxpayers.
The penal farm in Putnam county has made
better financial record than any of the other
state institutions. This is probably because all
prisoners are required to work if they are physic-
ally able. Indiana was one of the first states in
the country to experiment with the penal farm
idea and 50 far the experiment has justified ex-
pectations. It is probable that in future years
the farm or colony idea will be developed greatly
in this state Such institutions may be conducted
more cheaply than other kinds. The state prison
could not be converted into farm because great
er restrictions on the liberty of the prisoners
must be imposed, but the farm colony idea can
well be adapted to many other institutions in
Indiana-Indianapol News.
