High City Officials
Ousted From Office

H. Roy Harrison, commissioner
of public works; DR.. Layton, city
health officer; Police Judge
Hackett and the Tacoma dry
squad will be ousted from their
offices in the city hall.
This was the startling news
given to newspaper reporters Sat
urday morning by Mayor C. NJ
Riddell.
1t was only by the merest
ffluke that Mayor Riddell himself
was able to retain his office, but
the committee investigating may
yet decide to remove him.
Here is the official dope:
Changes brought about by a
contemplated remodeling of sew.
eral of the offices occupied by
city hall officials will make il
necessary Off the foregoing men,
toned gentlemen to remove their
desks and hat racks to other
parts of the building.
The health department will
move into the south end of the
third floor, while their office
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1918-06-15

will serve in future as the coun-
Gil chamber, adjoining as it does
the mayors office on one side
and the city clerks office on the
other.
The police court will move
down where the old council cham
Der is now, and with il Judge
Hackett and Clerk Reed, while
ii. Roy Harrison, commissioner of
public works, will go up on the
fifth floor and occupy the rooms
formerly used by the dry squad
now completely ousted from the
city hall.
City Engineer Manley was in
the council Saturday morning
with plans showing how city hall
will stack up when the remodel
ing is completed, which will be
commenced right away and will
cost about $1,000 or less.
Assistant City Attorneys Frank
Carnahan and Burns Poe will
also be removed" and will &C.
Icupy the room adjoining the new
police court room on the third
floor.

TeutOIl
Fleet
: Bluffs
e

eun1teO fress Leaseu "lre.)
WASHINGTON, d. c., June Is.
The German fleet is sending
out alarms, two and three times
la week and sometimes oftener, in
tending to worry the American
allied fleet to a belief that the
Teutons are coming out to battle.
With a great elatter OF wire
less, the big ships buzz back and
forth in their locked-in harbor.
Orders, indicating preparations
for dash snap out over con-
siderable period. The American
allied fleet picks these up and
can distinguish between the sig
nails of battleships and smaller
craft.
These facts developed from an
official source today.
The result of these constant
alarms is to keep the watchers
keyed up to an expectant pre-
pared pitch.
American craft now operating
in European waters will play an
important part If any sea action
does eventually develop. Hin.
denburg is understood to be still
pressing his colleagues to under
take a sea offensive as the back
ing for his land efforts. 1t is
recognized that such an attempt
by the German fleet would prob
ably indicate last desperate
gamble.
The United States and Britain
are progressing favorably with
anti-submarine work.

Would-Be Cop
Is In Trouble

'Tis not given us all that we
shall find the calling for which
we are best fitted.
Apparently this was so in the
case of Garnett Moore, employed
at the Wright shipyard. Gar
nett's ambition was to be a po-
lice officer, but he didn't take the
proper course and drop in at
h. q. and ask for a job; instead,
he impersonated one. This he ad-
mitted to Police Judge Hackett
Friday.
The evidence revealed that he
told friends of his he was a
speed cop" and also that he was
a nephew OF Capt. L. NJ. Kin
caid of Tacoma police, but all
this was "camouflage."
For this, and other deviations
from the straight and narrow
path, he must pay fine Of 500.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June
15.-America's sea forces in
European waters will be aug
mented by five more squad
fODs of destrOyers this year,
the house naval committee
was officially informed to-
day.
To man these there must be an
immediate increase in naval Off
GERS, the committee was told in
letters from Admirals Palmer and
Benson and Secretary Daniels
urging a permanent increase in
the macy personnel of 131,4S5 en-
listed men.
These ships will give this ma
ton the greatest destroyer fleet
in the worlds history.
"A squadron includes SO de-
.stroyers).
Grave Shortage.
That a grave situation exists
thru lack of men fitted to COM
mand in the navy was revealed in
letters exchanged between the
navy officials and the house COM
mittee.
Among the statements therein
we're:
OF the two destroyer squadrons
now abroad, neither has a desig-
mated commander other than a
British officer, Admiral Bayley.
We are planning to send five
more squadrons abroad within a
year, and haven't commander
for any of them, making them
practically useless for anything ex-
.eept submarine chasing.
Unless We have five new vice
admirals for destroyer and sub
marine squadrons by July 1, 1919,
1t will be utterly impossible to
utilize those forces to good ,pur-
pose.
33 Admirals Needed.
We have two divisions of arm
ed cruisers without any flag Of
ficers at all at present. Our cruis-
ers cannot operate as a scouting
force because of this lack.
II the officer in charge of Pa
mama canal defenses should be
called to the sea, the land de-
lenses would be left with no capa-
BILE commander.
To increase the 131,4S5 will
help, but it is much less than
our requirements" the letter
states.
Thirty-three rear admirals are
absolutely needed by next June
but the bill provides for only
1S, it Is stated.
Important shore billets are oc-
cupied by retired officers, many
of whom are in danger of break
ing under the strain of their in
creased duties.
Every active officer except one.
who is sick, is now employed, al
tho 1t might be that under a So
we're test, some officers would be
found wanting.

STILL ARE
THRILLS in
SPY WORK
Especial to The Times.)

PARIS, June 15.-One of the
English bars in the Montmartre
district was filled with well-dress-
ed women and their cavaliers a
few nights ago.
Among the patrons were two
smart-looking American officers.
Suddenly the door opened and a
handsome young girl of IS or SO,
accompanied by a man dressed in
the height of fashion. entered and
took a table.
The newcomers ordered cock
tails and told the waiter to hurry,
as their taxi was waiting outside.
But before the drinks were
served one of the Americans walk
ed over to their table, quietly
drew his revolver and said,
Hands up!"
His brother officer took out a
pair of handouts and slipped
them over the mans wrists. after
which he was marched off to a
taxi and taken to prison.
He was a famous German spy,
and the officers were two Of the
cleverest detectives in Paris.

HAD Varied HISTORY

Both the Tacoma Ledger and
Tacoma News have changed hands
a number of times since they were
started as daily newspapers 35
years ago.
They began as dailies in April,
1883, owned and operated by r..
F. Radebaugh and III. c. Patrick,
who had brought their plant from
Santa Cruz, Cal, two years before
and had started the Ledger as a
weekly.
Soon after the dailies we're
started Patrick withdrew and
started the Weekly News, and the
following August began the Daily
News.

In 1892 Nelson Bennett bought
one half interest in the Ledger

BOAT FARE
INCREASED

The public service commission
at Olympia Friday afternoon au-

asked by the Puget Sound Navi-
cation Co., raising the fare be-
tween Tacoma and Seattle to so
cents for one way and 81 a round
trip.
At a hearing on the raise, held
in Tacoma, A. H. Denman, Ia
coma attorney, declared this
raise was not justified, as this
line was paying the company large
dividends. He charged profiteer-
ing and asserted the increase was
asked to make up for deficit in
the other Puget Sound boat lines.
