JIT BILL
HITS AT
DRIVERS

Every automobile owner in Ia
coma who offers a free ride to
anyone in the future will come
under the classification of do
nation bus and can be forced to
take out a so jitney license and
deposit a bond of $500 with the
city.
This unusual situation became
apparent to members of the city
council Thursday when they had
carefully investigated a new jit-
ney bus ordinance which they
hastily passed at Wednesdays
session. OF course, there isn't
much danger that the owner of a
private car will be prosecuted for
treating his friends to rides, but
it is possible nevertheless.
The new ordinance was drawn
up by Seattle attorney repre-
senting the jitney bus men who
want to operate donation buses"
here during the days when traf-
fic to the army post is slack.
Members of the council passed It
without paying much attention to
its technicalities.
The ordinance defines a dOna-
ton bus as any motor propelled
vehicle which carries people
without charging any compensa-
ton for such carriage, tho any
person desiring to do so may give
a donation or contribution. AL
most any private car comes un-
der that classification.
But the joke of the ordinance
comes at it's finish. Any person
who violates the provisions of the
new law is deemed to be guilty Of
misdemeanor. The man who
framed the law forgot all about
fixing any penalty for such viola
ton, so an auto driver can be
prosecuted for violation but can
not be, sent to JAIL.
City Attorney Harmon said
Thursday he had not been able to
Study the ordinance before 1t was
passed, and that several changes
would have to be made at once.
No bus drivers had taken out
city licenses Thursday.

CALLS JAIL
OLD DUNGEON

Returning from Montana We'd
nesday night, where he went after
a Tacoma prisoner, Commissioner
Of Safety Petit was more than
ever impressed with the fact that
Tacoma's city jail Is the most OBJ
solete and insanitary lookup in
the northwest.
Petit examined the jails in
Spokane, Butte, Missoula and
Helena. He says Tacoma's jail is
an ancient dungeon compared
with any of them.
II am more than ever impressed
with the idea that we must get
busy at once on some plan for a
new Jail in Tacoma" said Petit.

Arrest
German

Fritz Sterner, a German labor
er employed by the N. P. railroad
on the re-planking of lower Pa
cific avenue near the Commercial
dock, was arrested by Lieut.. Whit
ers Of the 14tb infantry and Com
missioner Petit as an alien en-
envy. Sterner is being held incom-
municado at the city jail pending
further investigation by the mill
tary authorities.
The German had aroused sus-
picion and fear among other men
in the crew by his anti-American
utterances, according to the police.
The foreman of the crew was on
the point of discharging Sterner
when Lieut.. Winters, in charge of
the waterfront patrol of Camp
Lewis soldiers, began questioning
the workmen. They were just out
side the barred zone. Commits
sioner Petit was making a survey
of waterfront conditions and ar
rived just as Steiner was being
examined.
Steiner admitted being a Ger
man but refused to answer other
questions. When asked whether
he would be willing to take up a
gun and fight for America, the
German refused to reply. His at
titude was sullen, so Lieut.. Whit
ers decided to make further inves-
tigation.
Sterner is q newcomer to Taco
ma and the police know nothing
about him. Other workers in the
crew said that he had been MAX
ing bitter remarks about the war
and had been condemning Ameri-
ca for taking up arms against
Germany.
A close examination OF papers
found on the prisoners clothing
discovered nothing of a suspicious
nature.

Makes Bed
In Streetcar

Riding home from work on a
cable car early Thursday morning,
Joe Cathcart, "a, a night worker
at the Foundation shipyards, fell
sound asleep and made a complete
round trip Of the cable line before
the conductor awakened him.
On the second trip Cathcart
once more fell asleep, and became
angry when the conductor insist
ed on his either paying another
fare or getting off the car.
Returning down town on the
second round trip, the conductor
called Officers Nelson and Pre-
ringer to put him off the car. Cath
cart became abusive, according to
the officers, and was sent to Jail
for disorderly conduct. He was
later released on $25 bail.

STORIES ARE
CONFLICTING

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. "a.
Conflicting official reports re-
ceived by the government today
left authorities in doubt as to the
true situation in Austria.
Swedish press reports--perhaps
colored because they came via
Germany--reached the state de-
partment today, stating that the
Austrian strikes had been stopped
under an agreement with the
government.
Other government reports say
that citizens organizations both
in berlin and Vienna have re-

trian and German women de-
nouncing the war, war priva tons
and any and all steps looking to-
ward continuance OF the conflict.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan.
24.-Presilent Wilson is
resting in ignorance of the
truth about his war depart
ment, while terrible calam-
ity faces not only America,
but the whole world"
This was the answer sent back
to the White House by Senator
mberlain of Oregon on the
floor of the senate today in a
dramatic reply to President Will
son, who had charged the senator
with distortion of truth" in criti-
cising the war department work.
THE president, he said, docs
not know the truth. From the
lips of those nearest he cannot
learn it because the men are too
busy to get it, or remember it
II they got it,"
Says Baker Lied.
He charged that Baker did not
tell the truth before the military
committee.
Chamberlain demanded that
America retire to ''innocuous
desuetude" men in the military
establishment who have failed to
come up to the needs of the situa-
ton.
Six thousand people clamored
for admittance to senate galleries
which hold fewer than 1000. Not
since the presidents war declara-

excitement at the capitol as de-
veloped today.

ALIENS
G 0UGED

Within few days the mill
tary authorities ut Camp
Lewis expect to expose the
methods of certain Tacoma
and Butte, Mont, attorneys,
1t was announced at camp
Thursday.
1t is claimed these lawyers have
made a great deal of money thru
the ignorance of drafted men.
1t is said they have charged fees
ranging from SIS to 500 to pre-
sent cases of aliens to the local
and district draft boards, con-
trary to the regulations.
viii Ask Disbarment.
At first it was the intention of
the military authorities to prose
cute these lawyers on charges OF
prostituting their profession aud
capitalizing disloyalty.
Instead, 1t was announced to-
day, their names will be made
public, the details of their prac-
tees exposed, and the state bar
associations will be asked to dis
bar them from practice.
The Tacoma attorneys, 1t Is de-
clared, have been taking advant-
age of neutral aliens who did not
understand fully the draft law.
These aliens have paid the law
yers large sums of money to
handle their cases and to obtain
discharges for them.
Scores of Cases.
In one case an alien who was
sent to camp, asked for special
consideration, on the ground that
he had paid Tacoma lawyer SIS
to get him a discharge.
The cases of 165 aliens, not in
Guiding Austrians, are now pend
ing at Camp Lewis. At least 275
cases already have been consid-
cred. OF these 70 per cent have
had their cases presented by law
yers, the authorities say.

Extend
Passes
OHApA fHe~essH

Much of the responsibility of
wedding out suspicious characters
and issuing passes to go thru the
lines of military guards on the
waterfront was shifted to the EN-
ployers and labor unions Thursday
by Assistant U. S. District Attor-
ney Fishburne.
Because the government office
force was showed under by the
business of providing passes, ar
rangements were made whereby
the soldier guards Of the 44th in
fantry hereafter will recognize
passes of the employers, the Inter-
national Longshoremen's associa-
ton, the Stevedores and the En-
ployers' association alike.
Regular labor union cards are
being recognized as passes by the
military guards, provided the hold
er is not German alien.
The longshoremen' union as
we'll as the employers are cooper
ating with the government in
wedding out suspicious characters
from their ranks. -
Meanwhile, the soldier guard in
charge of Lieut.. H. II. Meyers was
drawn still tighter Thursday about
Tacoma's Is miles of waterfront.
While the exact number of SOL
diers on duty was kept secret, It
was announced there were plenty
to keep the waterfront sealed tight
against enemies.
Thru the district attorneys Of
flee 500 passes were issued We'd
nesday, and the office was still
crowded Thursday. Special agents
of the department OF Justice were
handling the work.
