Danger is Great!

Carrol & Carrol's Claim MUST BE PAID—No
Matter How Great the Sacrifice
< Since Monday 1 morning the Pacific Shoe Co. has been
bending every effort to make good the claim of Carroll &
, Carroll—which means the raising of $2,900 within a very few
i days. Sacrifice of prices—disregard of values has been. the
only means by which this Company can expect to raise so
much money quickly. Right generously has the public re
sponded to the invitation sent out to come and buy at less
than cost the stylish, serviceable footwear that the Pacific
Shoe Co. is noted for. On the strength of the broadcast ad
vertising in the papers, and the large amount of talk that
has resulted from this sacrificing stile, it has been impossible
to tell from day to day just what lots and lines of shoes will
be here for the following days sale, but these are

After terrorizing his family- sod the
neighbors who dared to venture near with
murderous threats, the man had finally run
wild in the woods, only partially clad,
all the night before, and although weaken

efforts of tbe three officers-to bring him

THE TACOMA TIMES
ENGLISH
EXPEDITION ENCOUNTERS DIFFICULTIES
IN ITS MARCH TOWARD THE TIBETAN CAPITAL
THK TIBETANS HAD NEVER SEEN A MAXIM GUN, AND WHEN THE
NATIVE GUN ."DETACHMENT ACCOMPANYING THE COMMISSIONER
FIRED IT FOR THEM THEY WERE DEEPLY IMPRESSED.
LONDON, March 23.—For a long time
the Indian government endeavored to mask
Its real intention in Tibet under the pre
tention that the armed escort accompany
ing Captain YoungluiMiaud was only in

From time to time, however, the real
; Facts leaked out, and now it is generally
accepted that England intends to fortify
1 the land against Russia, as a means of
'effectual!) preventing the bear from en
-1 en aching upon India, the treasure house
j of the United Kingdom.
Surrounded as it is by mountains, Tibet
is easily transformed into an enormous
fort. The mountain passes offer the only
means of access into the country. With
these fortified and garrisoned by seasoned
could be trusted in office. When the
speaker said, "President Roosevelt and
Mayor Campbell are that kind of men,"
the audience applauded.
John W. l.inek spoke in the place of
General J. M. Ashton, who was unexpect
edly called to Olympia. "Those people
who stand by the Democratic party," said
Mr. Linck "talk about business. What do
they say?''
The speaker drew from his pocket a
copy of Wednesday evening's Times and
read the statement of Owen Woods, Demo
cratic candidate for the council from the
Eirst ward, in regard to corporations, sa
loons and gambling, which was to the effect
that the council should have nothing to do
with these questions, and that he (Woods)
stood on the Democratic platform. "All
the Democratic nominees," said Mr. Linck,
"say nothing definite in regard to then
views. You do not know what they want.
All they talk about is what they do not
want. The Democrats say what Mayor
Campbell has done is wrong, and they will
right the wrong, being honest men.
By this method of reasoning, George P.
Wright and his followers will not tax the
Tacoma Railway it Power company one-half
the city's pocket and pay back to the Ta
coma Railway & Power company the mon
ey that Mayor Campbell wrongfully exact
ed from them.
Mr. Linck spoke of the accusations made
against Mayor Campbell for allowing the
Globe hotel to exist. "If it is wrong to
do that," he said, "will Wright allow
the inhabitants of that place to come
back on Opera alley, where they formerly
were, and ply their trade?"
Mayor Campbell was greeted with ap
plause when he arose to speak. He told of
the transactions that the city lias had

thinly-veiled efforts to gobble up India.
Great artillery trains, carrying guns of
heavy enough calibre to be used for siege
purposes, have been transported across the
mountains. .This has not been accom

England announces the intention of
enforcing the treaty existing between the
Tibetan and Indian governments. Whether
this is true or whether Great Britain will,
through the medium of her armed force,
establish suzerainty over the land, is some-

opposition from the Democrats.
