Lively Week for
Riddell Promised

The promise of a lively week
was made Monday at headquar-
ters of C. NJ. Riddell Meetings
are being arranged for afternoons
and evenings at which the candi-
date for mayor will address men
and women voters.
Riddell talked to the employees
of the Milwaukee shops Monday
noon, pointing out the necessity Of
the city government of Tacoma
working tremendously and united
ly to take advantage of the op-
portunities now being offered Ia
coma in many directions. The con-
duet of the administration must
be in accord with the necessities
of the military authorities, also,
he said.
In my capacity as chairman OF
the county council of defense
have secured an accurate knowl-
edge of what our problems are
said Mr.. Riddell. THE work OF
the council has had to do with
the moral and health conditions Of
the community, and with the de
lection of enemies in our mids
and the prevention of enemy &C
tivities.

FERRY HAS A

Another relapse for the new Ia
coma-Vashon island ferry!
City and county commissioners
went to the city park board Of
fices Monday for the b,-weekly

on the building of a ferry slip at
Point Defiance park. Nothing

Craig put in an appearance. Pres.

him from appearing. Newbegin

6 GIRLS ESCAPE
FROM QUARANT TINE

Another bold iailbreak from the
quarantine station for girls at the
Municipal dock occurred Sunday
night when six young girls climbed
thru a transom, ciawled along the
roof of the dock structure, and
rea ched the 18th street bridge by
means of a ladder.
The escape was not discovered
until S:45 Monday, when roll-call
of the 20 inmates was taken. None
of the girls remaining would give
any Information about the escape
of their companions.
Those who broke away were
Athelia Altig, Fay Whitcomb, Ha-
eel Nell, Amy McMahan, Helen
Taylor and Mabel Morell.
A long stepladder that had been
locked in a closet was used by the
girls to help them reach the tran
som. A pass key was evidently
used to opon the closet.
The escaping inmates crawled
along a roof over the quarters of

HARVEY SUED
FOR 100000

Attorney Walter Harvey went
on the stand Monday morning in
a suit brought against him by
Howard A. Johnston and other
heirs of the late ID. s. Johnston
for alleged mismanagement of
the Johnston estate and fraudu-
lent appropriation of over $780,
600 secured thru the sale of real
estate.
j. p. Fletcher, attorney for the
plaintiff, called Harvey to the
stand as soon as the case opened
Monday morning.
He charged that Harvey had
been the close friend of d. s.
Johnston, well known owner of
a Tacoma music house, that Har-
vey had been the legal adviser
of Johnston during his life, and
after his death was the admins
traitor for Mrs. Johnston, until
her death six months later.

MYSTERY IN
LIBEL CASE

With two former police officers
making frequent visits TO Mayor
Fawcetts office at the city hall, and
the mayor refusing to say what he
will do in defense of Commissioner
Pettits $4,000 libel suit, a new air
of mystery is hanging over city af-
fairs
Former Police Capt. Joseph Cor
nish and Former Night Captain of
Detectives Charles Lindsey have
been closeted with Faweett in his
private office several times during
the past few days.
Cornish is the man who Fawcett
declared recently had charge Of a
raiding party that caught Commits
sioner Petit in a room with a
young woman on his lap. 1t was
over this statement that Petit filed
his suit.
Faweett has 20 days from the
date the suit was filed, early last
week, in which to file an answer.
He refuses to make public his plans

Used Fork on
Wife, Charge

A pair of scissors, a case knife
and fork, are the weapons al
legged by the state to have been
used by William Gaddie, colored,
to assault his wife, Fannie.
Gaddie, who has been in the
county Jail for several weeks
awaiting trial, broke down in the
court room and went when his wife
appeared on the stand to testify
against him. He entered the plea
of temporary insanity.

Believe Vote Will
Probably Fall Short

Will the vote at Tacoma's mu-
nicipal primary next Tuesday be
up to the average for a city cleo
tion here?
That is one OF the much mooted
questions among politicians, with
a majority of the wise old heads
agreeing that the vote will proba-
bly, fail short this year.
For one thing, the campaign
this spring has been one of the
most quiet ever seen in the history
Of Tacoma. With election only a
week away, there have not been
a half dozen candidates, out of %
in the race, who have made public
speeches. A majority are doing a
gumshoe campaign, and saying
little or nothing that will bring
any publicity or campaign no.
toriety.
Then again, q large number of
Tacoma's voting population has
gone away to war. All of the
drafted men were of voting age,
as were a large majority of those
who enlisted. The influx of new
workers to Tacoma and the mil.-
tary people have not been here
long enough to establish a voting
citizenship. and for this reason the
new population here will not swell
election figures.
There isn't amy particular issue
at stake in which the women are
interested, and they are taking a
more or less apathetic interest in
the election.
Two years ago the voters cast
20,210 ballots at the primary and
81, 489 votes at the final election.
Politicians predict that the April
elections this year will not reach
these figures.

They registered and things were

up. Then there was more trouble.
Franks efforts to settle It resulted
in the ultimatum. delivered to him
by picked committee Of the young
braves who ordered him to be gone

sunrise. Meanwhile the company Of
soldiers from Salt Lake had enter

The troops arrived at Wendover ip

special train to Gold Hill, about ten
miles from the reservation. They
arrived at Gold Hill before daybreak
and were transported to the Deep
Creek reservation in waiting automo-
biles. At the reservation they found
many Of the Indians assembled. 9th

IN TERROR

Gold Hill. Utah, Feb. 22.-Deer
Creek Indian braves sent a challenge
to the authority Of the government
and they found that the Red Mans
challenge no longer requires the
formality Of an acceptance. A CON-
pany Of soldiers from Fort Douglas
took 100 braves by surprise when
they marched into the observation at
sunrise surrounded the indians and
without bloodshed put down an in
cipient rebellion. Seven Indians were
arrested and are being taken to Salt
Lake with the soldiers.
The Indians had ordered Amos R.
Frank. Indian agent. to leave the
reservation by sunrise. Frank left.
But the white mans superior strate-
~ was working and Franks depar-
ture was part Of that strategy. Cap.
tain w. c. Gullion. who commanded
the troops. had advised Frank to
leave, that the Indians suspicion
might not be aroused. and to meet
the company at Gold Hill.
The Indians were jubilating over
their victory when Frank appeared
again. With him was the company
