NAVAL MAN
By United I'ress l^axrd Wire.)
BREMERTON. April 9. —In

Impeach Mrs. Margaret McHey
nolda testimony. A letter from
her to her husband, a naval offi
cer, written after Lieutenant
Jones had escorted her east, was
Introduced yesterday. It read iv
part:
"I am only human and I admit
I have done wrong. My love for
you as the father of two of the
dearest little boys a mother ever
worshiped, draws me to you, and
the hoys, if only in one room. I
am willing to deny myself any
thing to be with yon and the
boyn."
The prosecution also Introduc
ed a letter to show that Mrs. Mc-
Reynolds knew about the pay
meat of the hospital bill of a
woman In New York by her hus

"I met her only twice," Mc-
Reynolds wrote to his wife. "My
regard for her, call it affection If
you will, was the same as that of
two men fond of each other. We
were just like two pals, and I
thought I was justified In making
her a small loan. I expected she
would return the money. I guess
I was an easy mark.'

Now Comes Harriman
Men toJJeat^ Pettit
RAILROAD, TRACTION CO. AND CORPORATIONS JOIN WITH
s \l ( ion KLKMKNT TO HOOKT OFKN TOWN, OFKN HHOF
CANDIDATE.
The old gang is trying to come back.
After 10 years of bitter struggle against corporation, saloon
and boss rule, Taronia finally threw off the yoke.
Will they keep It off? Or la this city to be turned bark to
street railway company, the N. P., the vice syndicate and a new ele
inout more s<h"< 1. <! titan any of them in the political game—the
Harriman railway?
Citizens who have watched the struggle of California to get out
of the grip of the Harriman-Southern Pacific ring know what It
means. And right there Is the gravest danger today for Tacoma.
There are important problems coming up in which the corpor
ations are interested. The city is considering the magnificent project
of ocean docks along the middle waterway and acquiring land for
industrial development.
With a corporation council in the city hall wliat a magnificent
chance for grab Hml to bunco the city.
No uiinili-i- the corporate interest-, have entered a cabal with
Pete NhiuUm it to down <••iiniii-.sii.iiir Fettit and cle<t A. I. Mills.
For Pettit tins stood like a stone wall against any grab by the
corporations.
The Harriman line came in and wanted East 22nd street, worth
$100,000.
Pettit refused to give up a foot of it until the city got equal
value.
So the Harriman railway is waiting until after election now and
working for A. U. Mills.
This railway combination knows no other game. Even after
a hard and fast promise in writing to turn over the land for the
opening of Jefferson ay. the company refused to keep its promise
until the present city commission, Pettit leading the movement,
started suit to condemn, and gave notice that the Harriman company
might expect a fight to a finish.
Is there anyone who believes the Harriman politicians are work
ing for A. U. Mills to benefit the city of Tacoma?
Whenever there Is a fight between the people and the special
interests the latter will always be found united.
They are together now to beat Pettit.
Look at the list: The Harriman politicians, the N. P. politi
cians, the street railway politicians, the Royal Arch of saloonkeepers,
Pete Sandberg, the vice syndicate, and the subsidized newspaper or
gans of vice and corporate corruption.
All year the vice syndicate has howled that Pettit was killing
the town by his rigid enforcement of law. But their wails fell flat.
The people knew better.
Now within a few weeks they have reversed their story and are
trying to tell the |H*ople that Fettit has not enforced the law at all
and that vice is unbridled.
WKIIK THKY LYING THKEE MONTHS AGO, OR ARE THEY
LYING NOW, OR HOTH?
Pettit has made good, in one year.
He will do much better in the next four.
And the people are going to put him back there to do it.
200-COUNT THEM-200
FAMILIES MOVE THIS WEEK
Movers say it Is a conservative
estimate that 200 Tacoma families
are moving this week, and that
another 20 0 will have moved by
the time the month is out. The
average size of these moving fam
ilies is comparatively small, for
the obvlouß reason that a childless
couple can move from downtown
flat to suburban bungalow with
little trouble. Paterfamilias with
a numerous bunch of children
thinks twice about moving. There
Is a kink In..the feminine mind
which finds pleasure in tnoving In
the spring. The male human
isn't strong for it.
The poet strikes his lute and
sings a song of spring—oh, gentle
spring!
A bas the spring! W« like it
not. Let poets ray changeth
our opinion not one jot. Winter,
though it be chill and wet, is
bearable; the summer fine; and
autumn, with its changing leaf
and yellowing vine, is finer still.
Then why—why—why tell spring
time lies? Why prate of flowers
and blids and smiling skies?
The meter of this poem's punk,
the rytlnn rotteb; but is it any
punker junk than spring dope
from the poets gotten. At any
rate it is no worse than spring,
of which now hear the Truthful
Poet sing.
The spring time Is the moving
season; and could you ask for bet
ter reason for hating It? Ah, no!
we cave up liking spring long,
long ago. "Tis then we flit from
house and flat, and cart the fur
niture, and dog and cat, to suburb
garden or rural acre because the
wife says we must take her from

SHI HURLS
DEFI AT NICK
LAWSON
Commissioner Gronen liatteA a
hot challenge to his rival, Nick
Lawson, today to meet him In a
joint debate. Qronen's d«fl reads
as follows:
Mr. Nicholas Lawson,
City.
Isasmuch as I believe that the
coming election of comuilsisoner
of light and water should be de
cided upon the records and quali
fications of the candidates there
for, and although I have so far
based my claims strictly upon my
own record and qualifications,
your campaign spenkers and your
self have not by persistent attacks
been able to impeach my ability
and the management of the af
fairs of my department, nor of
my saving $201,000 on the Nls
liually power plant. Nor have you
shown that the exi>endlture of
$300,000 additional on the Green
river gravity system caused while
you were commissioner was not
due to your own mismanagement
and incompetency.
It will be conceded, I believe,
that you and I are the two most
Interested parties and in the best
position to he acquainted with
the facts of the various subjects
under discussion and of which the
l>eople of thin city will be without
doubt glad to learn. I would
therefore suggest that a joint
meeting between us be held in
some large hall on Saturday even
ing of this week, where the voters
of this city, that Jury to whom
you and I niUßt submit, could be
present and Judge for themselves
who should be selected for the po
sition to which we both aspire.
It Is assumed that the expense
of renting a hall would be equally
shared by each of us and in order
to arrange therefor a reply during
the day will be appreciated.
HAMILTON F. GRONEN,
Commissioner Light and Water.
"I dont know; I haven't con
sidered it. What's the use any
way? We couldn't gain anything
by It."
So Bald Nick Lawson this after
noon when asked if he would ac
cept Oronen's challenge.
H. A. Hodecker, tailender In the
recent race, advised against the
debate and Lawson indicated- he
would not accept the offer.
FREE LOT MAN
STILL ON JOB
A. N. Lucas, manager, and B.
Abelson, agent of the Exposition
Development company, whose free
lot schemes have aroused a lot of
criticism, denied today that their
offices in the Perkins block were
closed.
"We are not giving away any
more free lots," said Lucas, "but
we are going through with all the
deals we have on."
"What kind of land is this?"
the men were asked.
"I've never seen it," said Abel
son. "It's a mile and a half from
town and railroad. We don't gay
that it's good land, yon- know.
We don't even say it's cl«ai-«d, or
tilled. We tell the people, the
land is In the rough."
"You were closed out by the
police in Portland?" inquired the
Times man.
"Ye», they held it was a lot
tery," said Lucas. "But we Aon\t
take any money when the drawl-,
ings are made. We get the money'
afterwards. The people don't have'
to buy if they don't want to. It'a
a business transaction, that's all."

' He formerly knew Tornow at S«tw>|i.
■\ ■..:. Two prospectors. "Bcotty" and "The Swede"— these were the; only names they were known —
• outfitted in Montesano and started In the direction of the Olympic mountains to hunt for gold. They
' never came back. ;
.It is known that they found a little gold, enough to give them hope. 'So they pressed deeper and
\ ; deeper Into the mountains. They were like two boys, were "Scotty" and "The Swede," and they sang
•and laughed and Jested as they journeyed in the wilderness. ' - ' :

. acniird Ills pn-scnw with tin- sixth sense which Is the birthright of woodsmen. . .
,* When they blundered aloiv the trails, the beast-man glided through the brush, paralleling their
■ course. The beast-man never uses a trail, nor even crosses one, unless he must, and then he leaps it
■ lightly, leaving no telltale tracks.
i When night fell the prospectors lit their eanipflre, cooked their bacon, smoked their pipes. The
• fitful light of the fire illumined their rugged faces. Just without the zone of light the beast-man
circled. , \ - * ■ ■ - •
By and by "Scotty" and "The Swede," wearied after a long, hard day, rolled up in their blan
kets and slept., Hut the beast-man did not sleep. He crept' close. •• • .
Why did John Tornow hate
••Bcotty" and "The Swede"? Be
cause John Tornow is a beast
man, a genuine case of reversion
to the savage type. Because
••Bcotty" and "The Swede" were
members of that society on which
be had turned his back. Because
they had brought into the soli
tude, the roaring chorus and ri
bald jeet of camp and town. ■ Be
cause they desecrated the. silence
with their shouts and. laughter.
Because they had come into the
wild, not loving it to loot It of its
treasures. They were such men
as | John Tornow'a brother, ', Ed,
who had killed the hound because
It had no market value. Because
their talk was of {gold ) and ■ •■ the
fjfcinga that gold would I , buy—ln
town. They were!trespassers. ...
<|7V' Shot Them Asleep.
f So . Tornow shot "them as they
slejit. While ■ the corpses were
yet warm he coolly stripped them
of their clothes and weapons. - He
dug a shallow grave in the forest
loam, and buried them there. ■ '<
Cowardly? Cowardly to at

Do YOU demand moral turpitude

tion a cougar concerning ii- code

man to "play I lit; game"? - -.

violate these rules, we are "un

"or "law-breakers." Whether it
be business, grouse or billiards,
we "play the game"—for points.
Who gets the most points wins.
The beast-man plays no games.
