Paving Between
Bean's Wheels
Leads to Fall
Louis Moan's paving between
tlie wheels S"t him into trouble
with the police Friday evening.
Mean has liren boasting in his
advertisements about the fact that
the T. K. & P. Co. pays for the
paving between iv wheels-as an
argument against tno Jitneys,
who don't- anil bus culled alteu
tion to the fine condition of the
paving.
Hut Friday evening, while Mrs.
F. Crew, !120 G St., was BMMtag
Broddway near 11th, b«r arms
lonrird with Chrlstnian packages,
she stiinibled on a brlcK in the
paving between the T. R. & I.
Co.'l rails*. The brick stood up
Beveral inches from the street
level, as many of the T. H. & P.
paving bricks are wont to do.
Mrs. Crew fell jiorne to the
pavement, packages flying. Pa
trolman Hryiin assisted hen- to
her feet, and sent her home. She
was badly bruised.
Then the police proceeded to
call up Bean's office and tell the
T. R. & P. officials just what they
thought about •»* paving between
the wheels.
An apologetic murmur came
back over the telephone wire, to
gether with a promise that work
men would fix the Broadway
paving between the wheels Mon

Mrs. Griffiths, the proud moth

mayors in the family soon.
Tom Griffiths, the youngster,
worked up to the executive"?! chair
by hard plugging in a lumber
mill. A polished University of
Washington graduate and athletic
hero, he elected to toil with his
hands, beginning in the mill yard
at $26 a month.
The lesßoiiß of clear gportx
