Alexander Cronkhite at Camp
Lewis, Tacoma, two and a half
years ago, was made today by
Robert Rosenbluth, formerly n
captain in the army engineer

cused in an alleged confession
made by Sergeant r. P. Pothier
at Tacoma, of having ordered him
to shoot the major, promising
protection.
Rosenbluth declared Major
Cronkhite was "the best liked
man in the outfit" and asserted
that the department Of justice
agents had blundered.

vengenance," he said, land to
hang on to their jobs that he

The idea of premedltated
conspiracy to shoot Major Cronk-
hite, he declared, was impos-
sible. as the major was in the
hospital four days previous to
the shooting and no one knew
he was to be with the skeleton
regiment during their hike.

who is right and who is wrong.

the matter be submitted to vote

I'VE believe that we are safe in
saying that it is one of fundament-
al principles of our form of govern

right to rule, and in the petition
which was first submitted to the
city commission, we asked that the
question be submitted to a vote of
the people, and the will of the peo
pie, as we see it, has been defeated
by the action of the commission in
refusing to submit the proposition
to the popular will

Here's another movie Pest! You've sat many times. I'll bet a cookie, near a man who seemed to be taking snuff. his sneezes averag- ing about ten to the half hour. You've wished for a macintosh, soup strainer, a gas, mask, an umbrella anything, to defend yourself from his unwe1come attentions. A man like that knows little of the laws of sani- tation, and apparently cares less. He does not respect the rights of others, so he cannot be appealed to as to a normal human being.
 What would YOU like to do with a man like that?
 Write in verse how you've been bothered by this particular kind of pest, and what you'd like to have hap pen to him. Make your verse a Gn- gle, short and snappy, and no more than ten lines, write on one side of the paper only; make your verses concern him alone and no other pest that you may have met with at the movies.
 This Pest feature is a weekly one, and each week an opportunity will be
