Tacoma police court tried 2,604
cases lust year, according to the
annual report of Clerk Hackett,
issued today.
Drunks head the list with 332
plain and 346 drunk and disor
derly. Besides these, 118 were
fighting and 566 vagrants.
Just 100 beggarß were rounded
up. There were 178 dissolute
women brought in and 95 gam
blers. In the speed class, 159
auto drivers were nipped and 154
motorcycle riders, while 16 more
motorcycle men were caught for
riding on sidewalks, and there
were 127 violations of the traf
fic ordinance.
The auto and motorcycle men,
prostitutes and gamblers were the
best paying cases before the court.
The drunks, vags and Imbibers
generally Were mostly dead loss.
The receipts were $18,889.60

MTCHONBIGJOB
Three members of the city

Commissioner Lawson should let
the contract for supplying cast

trict "white way" to the high
bidder. . -
-The Griffin Wheel company
was $51.50 lower than the Taco
ma Foundry ft Machine company.
Hut the latter all live in the city,
and Preeland, Mills and Woods
thought, therefore, they ought to
get the Job.
The mayor and Lawson insisted
the Job should go to the Griffin
Wheel company.
The bids for the material for
the whole work show the' cost
will be $26,469, besides the labor.
Nicholson Is probably right.
If as much increase in business comes to Tacoma as
is hoped for, present facilities will need supplement
ing. But there is ample room for growth here. And
there can be considerable development at very small
cost.
The great trouble with all the schemes for devel
oping the large area of tideflats has been that tl /
owners of this property have wanted the people at
large to help pay the bills for making them million
aires.

Tacoma police officers are mak

the villainous appearing stranger
who accosted and insulted Miss

Charles Gay, formerly of. the
Pierce county bench, as she was
walking towards her home last
evening. So far as could be learn
ed at the Cay residence today the
stranger did not lay hands on the
young woman, but frightered her
into hysterics.
The Gay family lives at Garden
ville, on the Puyallup Short Line,
just outside the city limits. Miss
Gay was walking past the Cttsh
man Industrial school last even

Bhort, dark, shabby man with a

stranger reached out his hand as

screaming, fled In terror. She
ran nearly all the way home, a
distance of nearly a mile, and ar
rived there crying and hysterical.
Police headquarters dispatched
Officer Howard, on a motorcycle,
to the place where the girl was ac
costed, but the stranger had fled.
Miss Gay gave a fairly good de
scription of the man to the po
lice, and every officer in the city
was notified today to make a
search tor him. Miss Gay was
highly excited today and refused
to be interviewed.
