ALONG SHORE
SAYS BURKE
Chief of Police in Letter Makes
Report to Mayor
Dorsey
FOLLOWS INVESTIGATION
Say There Was Found no Trace
of Coal Piracy or Other
Robberies

Following out instructions from
Mayor Dorsey to conduct an inveSti-
cation along the water front into the
alleged workings of coal and river pi-
rates, and report back to him in writ
ing, Chief of Police Patrick ]. Burke
this morning submitted a report of his
findings following a tour of inspection
made by him last week.
In his report Chief Burke says that
no traves of any thievery were found
by him along shore, that he found no
coal on wharves, docks or the shore
and that no one could be found who
could testify that they had seen such
operations during the past several
months.
Commenting upon the report this
morning Mayor Dorsey stated that
the chiefs report should be published
In full so that justice might be done
him in answering the charges that
river piracy is going on along our
water front. The mayor pointed out
that while the harbor was under gov
ernment control it had been kept
cleaner than ever before owing to the
equipment and number of men which
was at the hand OF the government,
and which is not obtainable by the
local authorities. The mayor also
. stated that the government sharbor
kpolice had no other business than to
1yatch the water front, whereas the
cal police force has large territory

SINGLE
ALLIED FRONT
ON FINANCES
Italian Delegate to Peace Con-
ference Submits Plans on
important Question
GERMANY MUST PAY
Must Compensate Allies foI
Immense Losses, Signor
CieSpi Says

PARIS. Sunday, Feb. 2-Proposals
for establishment of q single financial
front for the Allies has been submit
ted to the Entente minister here by
Signor Crespi member of the Italian
delegation, according to n statement
made by him today. After saying
that the central powers must COM
pensate the allies for the damage sur
fered during the war. Signor Crespi
states:
"On the other hand. all the Allies
have suffered immense losses and
they must all benefit from the indem-
nifty which the enemy is to pay. Each
one should receive In proportion TO
the effort 1t has made. Thus, the
smaller states that have spent more
than larger ones in comparison TO
their wealth ought to receive large
indemnities in proportion.
The simplest way TO carry out the
actual distributions would be to put
the entire fund into n common pool
which could be periodically appor-
toned among the different nations.
The fund should not be augmented
by universal character levied on all
states. enemy. allied or neutral, the
last named having benefited from the
sacrifices made by the Allies. Such
practices might be levied on exports
and imports and also on coal and raw
materials. It t-seer>---tQ me only fair
that couptrtcs which ha~-Nsttpi,
and even those which through tIin
surveying and sacrifices of the allies
] Ish9Ild be made to help compensate
the allies. Such task would not
weigh more heavily on one state than
on another. since IL would be univer-
sal. 1t merely would have the effect
OF raising prices on SOME present par
ticular product i'm all countries alike.
The enemy should be forced TO pay
off as soon as possible, the allied debt
The international tax would furnish
tax on the rest and the sinking fund
for paying it off eventually. In my
opinion the enemy ought TO be allowed
to pay. not only In gold, but in raw
materials and finished products, part
of their debt might be covered by
bonds, which they would take up
gradually in exchange for goods de-
livered 10 the allies.
THE supply OF raw materials IN an
other important question to be constr-
cred. | suppose that distribution OF
raw materials be internationally con-
trolled In such n way that allied coun-
tries may be served before enemy
countries.
Another important question hl-
volved is that of the length OF the
working day. A days labor in Ger
many before the war was very lors.
II IL continues so now, they will he
able 40 produce more cheaply than
we can. Therefore. international laws
on this question have become essen
tial
Another problem is that Of ex-
change between different nations. To
cite an example. my own country.

A series OF mysterious holdups by
three soldiers and at the point of saw
age looking army reyolvers, have
been carried on in this city over the
week end, but as yet no trace has been
found of the soldiers and as far as can
be learned today has been relieved OF
money or other valuables by the men.
The first that was heard of the
would-be highwaymen was at an early
hour on Sunday morning when a call
came In at police headquarters from
Joseph Seemann a saloonkeeper OF
400 Smith street, who claimed that
three soldiers had attempted to hold
him up In order 10 secure some whis-
key. According to Seemanns story
he had just closed up the place for
the night when three soldiers appear
ed at the window and knocked there
on demanding that the place be open
cd so that thev could secure some liq-
uor. When told that the saloon was
closed for the night, they produced
revolvers and declared they would
get in by shooting up the place. but
fortunately for Seemann a policeman

SUNDAY MOVIES
PULPIT TOPIC
Civic League Represented in
Church and Many Sigma
lures Are Secured

In the three leading Protestant
churches Of the city, the First Baptist,
Simpson Methodist and First Presby
terian, the Sunday movie question and
other fragrant violations OF the law,
were discussed by the pastors OF the
respective churches in their evening
sermons.
In the Presbyterian church Rev. Il.
w. Johnson, of Railway, who Is at the
head OF the ord's Day Alliance OF New
Jersey, spoke about the Sunday ques-
ton generally and then brought the
local matter in his discussion as an eN-
ample. He explained that the Ali
ance WIS for the purpose of preserving
the Sabbath and that the people must
decide whether the law in regard TO
activities on the Lords day shall be OBJ
served or not.
Rev. William II. Bawden, pastor or
the Baptist church took as the theme
for his sermon last night, "Opportuni-
ties and Responsibilities and said
that the larger the opportunity of
man become, the greater his respon-
sibilities are, and that this applies to
all men in private or public life, who
hold big positions or small. He de-
clared that public officials can be COM
PEELED TO enforce the law as the power
is not in their hands, but in the hands
Mr.. Bawden also remarked that IL was
the people who must decide for them
selves the Sunday question and make
known TO the officials their views in
the matter.
At the Methodist church Rev. Viii
bert Westcott also spoke concerning
the Sunday movie question and other
pertinent questions of the hour in re-
gard to the proper observance OF the
Sababth. He called on Joseph IF.
Walker. president of the League for
Civic Betterment. who stated the OBJ
poets and purposes of the league and
its attitude in respect to the question
OF Sunday movies.
At the end of both the morning and
evening services, members OF the
league stood at the doors OF tho
church and secured the signatures of
all the members as they passed out.
which signature indicated that they
desired TO be enrolled as members in
the League for Civic Bettermont.

 The enthusiastic young man ahead of the Hagenbeck-Wal shows con- fessed that he was at his wits end today. He stated that the big show has gone on increasing year after year until now he finds words made quate to express the immensity of the circus this season. It is described as Digger and better" than ever be- fore. This year three long trains are organization.
 Twenty-two separate tents are nee essary to accommodate the Hagen beck-Wallace shows, and they are so large that they cover a small size farm. The big arena tent is $40 feet in length and among the largest ever constructed It is supported chiefly by six enormous center poles greater than those used on the biggest sailing vessels The performance is given in three rings and on two stages. The Carl Hagenbeck trained wild animals perform in a massive steel-girded arena. More than 300 performers | take part in the program.

these reports were untrue. There is the same underlying sentiment in all parts of the country.
 we all agree with the lofty senti- ments expressed by our president and with his splendid idealism," the sena- tor later declared to the press. "The difference is, however. that out here on the Pacific coast we have written our ideals into laws"
 Persons of all shades of political be- liefs were among those to extend to the senator his first welcome to Wash ington.
 SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. S.-Two Se- attle audiences tonight heard Senator Hiram w. Johnson explain his objec- tions to the ratification of the league of nations covenant without reserva- tion or amendment.
 They heard the senator explain that his proposed amendment to the league covenant would not deprive the colonies of Great Britain of their six votes but would give America an equal voice in the assembly of the league and they cheered his declar tion that "The United States senate is going to stand up and be counted" when this amendment comes to vote.
 The senator praised the foresight and cleverness of Premier Lloyd George in gaining additional territory and population for his nation out of the war, and declared England first had tied up the United States with alliances and then had 'tied up the league of nations for all time" by securing representation and voice for each of the colonies as an individual unit
 Senator Johnson made the trip from Tacoma during the afternoon on the yacht of Samuel Perkins, Republican national committeeman.
 Dr. Harry Suzzalo, president of the University of Washington, introduced Senator Johnson tonight at the meet ing held at the arena. At the second, or overflow meeting, at a nearby the ater. the senator was introduced by Harry Denton Moore, president of the local League for the Preservation of American Independence. It was estimated that the capacity of the two meeting places was between nine and ten thousand.
