THE HAGUE, Sept. 21—Queen

Wilhelmina of Holland and six

'■* year-old Princess Juliana I_oui.se

narrowly escaped death today

when their automobile collided

with another, wrecking both.

The queen and the princess were

she made an address.

Wilhelmina was applauded

when she told parliament that

the government would present a

bill eliminating the present liind

" ranees to woman suffrage.

She announced that parliament

would be asked to vote credits

for an increased navy and for

Prison Ship

To BcHcrc

Next Week

The prison ship Success, known

more than a century ugo as a

'.hell ship" during the lime shei

was used to transport dangerous

criminals from England to Aus-|

tralla —the dumping ground for

undesirables in those days—will

arrive in Tacoma next Tuesday.

Arrangements have been" made

.with city authorities for the his

toric old ship to berth at the ex

treme south end of the Municipal

dock. She will be open for pub

■ lie exhibition for at least a week.

The ship is completing a 17-d.iy

etay in Seattle, and already 9^,

--000 persons have visited her. In

San Francisco Bf>o,ooo perso is

went aboard the ship.

An invitation will be extended

to Mayor Fawcett, city officials,

and a few private citizens to in

spect the Bhip immediately after

♦her arrival. The boat will then

be thrown open for public inspec

tion.

The Success Is one of the most

famous ships afloat. Unbeliev

able atrocities occurred on her,

during her service as a prison

I Ihip. These horrors would Beem

unreal and be given little cre

dence, but for the fact that of

ficial records prove their veracity.

The ship was sunk off the Aus

tralian coast for several years,

and was raised a short time ago,

when it was started around the

world on a tour of exhibition.

Golden Stream

Pours Into U.S.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—The

greatest continuous stream of

gold the world has ever seen is

pouring into this country today.

It is arriving in New York it

the rate of five tons every 24

hours - and it can't be stopped!

The United States treasury

holds more gold now than ever

before in its history—and yet flic

golden flood keeps on, for En

rope is buying, buying, buying in

this country and, because credit

turned topsy-turvy by lite war,

she is paying mainly in pure gold.

In the early months or Hie war

EitroiM frantically drew 17.-,000,

--000 in actual gold from this coun

try but already this amount and

millions more has been returned.

Firms In Europe are shipping

over the actual gold to pay for

merchandise bought here be. a use

it is cheaper to pay Hie express

age on gold than Hie ex.-hunii"

rate on paper.

In $10,000 Sacks

The gold is coming mainly from

the Bank of England and the

I'unk of France and It ib ex

pressed over in sacks, each hold

ing 10,000.

The contents of these gold brigs

oiten indicate just which minor

poweis are backing up the bigger

ones.

In the gold coins coming from

Great Britain at present are mix

ed the yen of Japan.

There also have been bamboo

bticks from China, hollowo I o»it

and tilled with Hie yellow uietnl;

The New York bunks tha. are

tub-treasury, receiving paper in

-eturii.

But, first it is weighed, tested

avd often melted to muk-3 silt's

that il has not lost weight ,n cir

culation or that the bars have

not been "filled with a bas<.r

metal.

But this stream of gold is only

adding to Uncle Sam's own horde

of gold — the greatest Hie world

has ever known -amounting to

nearly two billion dollars in pure,

physical gold.

Denver Gold Center

A horde that not only means

greater industrial cevelopment

here but which, at the end of the

war, will bring all Europe to its

knees begging the United States

to help them reconstruct empires

—for by that time this country

will virtually have a corner on

available gold.

Throws

Acid On

Horses

Every available police officer

today was on the trail of some

fiend who subjected a troop rt

horses to terrible suffering early

this morning when he threw acid

on tlii'in.

The whole etableful of animals

at the Lash Transfer Co., 2502

North .'loth St., Old Tacoma, were

spattered with the burning fluid.

Who the fiend was, or what It's

motives can have been, are a com

plete mystery to Manager Lash

and the police. Lash told the of

ficers he had no enemies he knew

of.

The stable boy had fed the ani

mals early today, and had gone

for breakfast, leaving the stable

unlocked. Someone who evi

dently had watched his i huh c,

entered.

Causes (.real Wounds.

When the stable boy returned,

he found the animals suffering

terribly from the 'acid. Thnir ag

onized cries had gathered a con

siderable crowd.

"We have no enemies, and I

cannot conceive of any person so

brutal as to throw acid pn dumb

animals, saia Ft. K. McKenzie,

one of Hi*? pwners of the stable,

today. 'The acid burned through

the hide and flesh, causing great

ugly wounds that may prevent tha

animals from ever working

again."

There were eight horses in the

stable. Six of them were spat

tered with the burning fluid.

Scarcely any of the acid reached

the horses' heads, indicating that

it was hurled by some person who

stood behind the stalls.
