Because they refused to pay a
war tax of 10 cents to see a box
ing smoker Thursday evening and
created a disturbance when they
were forcibly refused admittance,
three officers o fthe Tacoma police
dry squad and motorcycle po-
liceman were summoned before
Commissioner Petit Friday after
noon for a reprimand.
The officers, Capt. Dyer Dy-
ment and Detectives B. F. Bryan
and M. d. Guy of the dry squal,
and Motorcycle Officer Earl E.
Willard, are charged with having
made a vigorous refusal to pay the
war tax and with summoning
captain from police headquarters
to their aid.
The Eagles lodge, which has
been giving boxing programs each
month during the past season,
were recently notified by the Coy
eminent to charge a war tax on all
persons admitted to the shows.
The government order included
every person who entered the hall
whether they gained admission on
paid tickets, passe, or police
badges. The Eagles gave notice
of the ruling thru The Times early
this week.
Lodgemen Halt En-
Capt. Dyment and the three Of
ficers entered the lobby of the
Tahoma hall, where Thursday
nights smoker was held, and
started to walk past Harry Byram

announcement that Uncle Sam

officers attempted to force theiI
way into the hall in a body, but
were met by a group Of lodgemer
who forcibly resisted them.
A quarrel ensued, the officers

to pay any tax, and the lodge of
ficers repeating to them the order

made threats against the lodge for

those in the crowd, and declared
that Commissioner Petit had sent
them to stotp the boxing.
The four officers turn about
when they found that neither force
nor argument would gain them
free admission to the smoker, and
left the place. A few minutes
later they returned with Night
Detective Capt. Kincaid who al
so insisted that the officers could
see the show without paying the
10-cent tax.
Kincaid had no better luck than
the four officers and finally the
entire crowd left. In the mean
time 20 other police officers had
visited the smoker and cheerfully
paid the government tax.
COMMISSIONS Petit was visibly
angry over the occurrence Friday
and notified the four officers to
|appear in his office.
"In the first place, the dry
squad was supposed to be working
at that time and had no business

Petit. Furthermore / did not
send them, and gave no orders
whatever.

of any officer to pay 10-cent war
tax, and l am sorry that the affair

TOO MANY
BUTTS AND
IFS in IT

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. %.
The central empires are angling
for further discussion with the
United States and the allies but
are not yet ready to go far enough
to bring peace now.
That conclusion was drawn by
international experts today from
the Hertling and Czernin replies
to President Wilson's and Lloyd
Georges war aims speeches.
One main baking point Is
Alsace-Lorraine.
Germany manifested no inten-
tion of Fighting" or reconsider
ing" the wrong done France, as
demanded by the British and
American statesmen.
Ignores -Four Points.
Her reply as to the first five
points of the Wilson speech was
fully anticipated.
Her answers to the sixth and
eighth points we're regarded as
subtle appeal to Russia and France
to talk peace independently.
The answer to the seventh
point was regarded as a distinct
concession indicating that Ger
many has modified her original
views as to Belgium.
Omission of part of Hertling' s
replies to the important ninth,
tenth, eleventh and twelfth points
bearing on Italy, Austria, Poland
and the Balkans, left officials Gu
rious as to what the Germans
thought about these very big prob
lens.
...Big Stickler.
Hertlings demand that England
relinquish Gibraltar and other
fortified points along various
routes is the very first time
in all the German peace feel
ers" and peace proffers that such
a scheme has ever been advanced.
Observers here were emphatic
in declaring such a demand con-
stituted, on its very face, an in
superable bar to England's consid-
GRAFTON of the German terms. The
foundation of the British empire
itself rests on such fortresses az
Gibraltar. -.
Czernin's speech was regarded
as far more conc!liatory than
Hertling's, tho authorities saw In
Hertling's tone something far
more subdued and diplomatic thar
Germany has issued to date. There
was a brusqueness, however, tina,
indicated Germany militarists are
istill debating and that there mus
be further lighting to accomplish
American-allied aims.

American naval men saw today
