Puncture Makes Inn
 Favorite of Bankers

SAINT PAUL, France, Sept. 21.-Two years ago the keeper of the Golden Dove Inn despaired because none came to try his Provencal kitchen or taste his rare wines.
 2 Then one day the motor car of Benjamin Strong Governor of the United States Federal Reserve Bank, punctured tire in front of the hostelry. The gates to wealth were opened. Strong re- turned to dine each night for several weeks, bringing first Montague Norman, Governor of the Bank of England. and then Andrew Mellon. Secretary of the Treasury for the United States.
 Now many noted bankers dine there, signing in special book. and the inn has taken on an im- posing air. But prices remain at the same low level as when Benjamin Strong first stopped there by force of circumstances to dine.

two daughters and son were born, all living, Miss Maud Schultznan and Mrs. Jessie Grieves, the daughters. are res dents Of Tacoma, and Fred Tan ner, >the son, is engaged in the hardware business at sSkagway Ms. TannSr died at Taccma | few months ago.
 From Colorado MT. Tanner went to Dunlap. Icwa, where a brother preceded him. He re- sided there for many years and prcsrered. He was Sheriff of Harrison County, of which Dun lap was the county seat, for sev- eral terms.
 Lived in Tacoma
 From Iowa, he went to Ia coma. where he sold Iowa horses. and invested his money and profits in leading Tacoma bank. Like many other banks, it failed in 1893 and left Tanner broke. He became Deputy Sheriff and served until Repub' ican victory defeated the Democratic Sheriff, and then he came to Juneau, Emery Valentine, his brother-in- law, having made him wharfinger on his Juneau wharf. Later he was manager of general store owned by MT. Valentine. In 1897 he took boat and barges that belonged to MT. Valentine to Skagway and engaged in the business of lightering freight car goes that a fleet of vessels was 'discharging at that place. The business thrived and in d few weeks he bought Valentines in terest in the business.
 Soon after his arrival at Skag- way MT. Tanner started hard ware store and plumbing shop, the latter in charge of his son. in-law. Charles Schultzman.
 Rounds Up "Soapy" Smith Gang
 July s, 1898, was red letter day in the life of MT. Tanner. A man named Stewart had ar rived from Dawson with gold dust to the amount of $2.600 in value. He was the first one to come from the Interior with gold that year. He was robbed of his poke in "Soapy" Smiths saloon. The feeling of indignation against the doings of the "Soapy" Smith Gang that had been smouldering for months broke into flame. Tan ner was among those who stirred the people to action. A public meeting, beginning in the store of E. o. Sylvester outgrew the capacity of the place and moved to the Sylvester Wharf The re- convened meeting had hardly or ganized for business when the fatal duel between Frank H. Re.d and "Soapy" Smith occurred at the approach to the wharf. Smith was instantly killed and Reid died the following week. The meeting immediately dispersed and was reconyened around the body of the dead man. and J. M. Tanner was chosen to have full charge of the search for the Smith gangsters and the gath ering of evidence. Every one promised and save him loyal sup port. So effectively was-the work done that the leaders were all in jail within a week and two score or more had been sent out of the country. Many others left for the States of their own accord
 Marshal J. M. Shoup rushed to Skagway from Sitka when he heard of the proceedings, but the work had all been done when he got there. He immediately ap1 pointed Tanner Deputy Marshal to succeed the Deputy that had been sent out with the others who were suspected of being Smith followers. He served for several years.
