ROBERT EDESON
For sheer dramatic Intensity, this film is the most. compelling
ever shown in Tacomn. A thrill, a kirk and a punch In every
foot. Ued-liloodcd action every second. It plays on all the
emotion*—you cry, and you laugh in the same breath, and feel
heller for seeing It.

Shortage of
Funds Halts
Street Work
There will be no street work in
Tacoma tor at least two months,
according to Commissioner Gro
nen today.
It will take that length of time
for the public works department
to "catch up" with the monthly
appropriations, because of exces
sive expenditures during the
first four months of the yeat.
The department spent more than
$12,000 over its scheduled sum.
"I have laid off street crews,
and will not call them back until
we get In better financial condi
tion," said Groneu.
"We absolutely cannot repair
the many miles of city streets this
year. 1 ani devoting the depart
ment's attention now to keeping
tho main arterial highways pass
able, but we have no money to
spend on other streets, so the pub
lic might as well not ask for the
work."
Grouen contemplates improve
ments In the street cleaniiiK de
partment, and will probably lay
off one entire flushing crew, mak
ing other crews double up on the
work.

JURORS AND DISTRICT
ATTORNEY IN LOCK-UP
The federal grand jurors nie'
behind closed doors for fair this
.morning. It would havo been _.
tough job for anyone to find out
who they were Indicting.
For Bailiff Warren, after he
had them all comfortably settled
inside the jury room, took the
extra precaution of turning the
key in the lock.
And the key broke.
And District Attorney Clay Al
len, and the jurors were Inside;
and all the witnesses and sleuths
and marshals were outside.
Picture now Deputy I'nlted
States Attorney George Flshburn
peeking In through the keyhole,
desporately trying to wireless his
chief the latest evidence gleaned
from the corridor. Some excite
ment.
Then a hurry call for the fed
eral building janitor to hasten
upstairs and break down the
door.
With the wheels of justice
clogged, many minutes passed oy
until the custodian was rounded
up with a new key.
All this Is denied by Bailiff
George S. Warren, who admits
the key broke, but Insists the
door was open all the time.
Also, zest was taken away from
the sensation when the grand
jury filed out without a single In-
