POLICE BADLY SCARED

fort to prevent any further star

MANY PEOPLE

that their account, be

cause it would be neces

sarily small -— perhaps

very small to start with,

would be unacceptable

and lightly considered.

On this point let us be

clear. The officers of

this bank know from ac

Thursday night to take up the

vice and police-graft questions,

and to have attempted to force

them to cease their investigations.

"The police department is

frightened badly," declared Mayor

Fawcett today. "They are trying

their best to end thlo investiga

est proof of their guilt, isn't It?"

A Tip for Wily John Rea

Sixteen professors of the I'niversity of I tali

have resigned in the last two days because the

regents dismissed four other instructors, ap

parently for no legitimate cause. Of 800 stu

dents wlin expected to return next fall, 80 only

say they wUI he back if tlie resignations are

accepted.

For the benefit of John Ilea, Tacoma ment

or of the hoard of regents of this state's uni

versity, The Times makes free to predict that

the I'tAh insurrection will be as a mere I'lnte

uprising compared to Uie Kuropean conflict if

he attempts to cnrry out at the U. of W. »

course of action he Is credited with sponsoring.

When the late notorious legislature passed

tlie appropriation hill for which the regents

had pleaded, it was openly stated on the floor,

and has not lieen publicly denied, that a prom

ise had been made by a regent that In return

for tlie money, tlie regents would dismiss l>r.

While the mayor announces that 100 additional

negro women of ill repute have recently been import

ed, and hints at graft in the police department; while

members of the social service board either are throw

ing up their hands in disgust because of police inef

fiency or are preparing for an investigation, by a

grand jury if possible; while one civic body is ap

pointing 25 vigilantes to handle the situation and ar

ranging for a monster downtown mass meeting—

Loomis calmly domes Tacoma has a redlight district

and offers $10 to anybody who can prove it.

Then he adds insult to injury by asserting that on

notorious D street there is no vice, but in any resi

dence district the women try always to flirt with him.

Everybody in town knows D street is a wide open

immoral district—everybody except the chief of po

County Attorney Itomann

said nt noon today lie Is

X ready Immediately to clean

* up I> and Itroadway, with or

without aid from Uie police.

UU announcement followed a

lengthy conference with Chief

I.ooinis and CommlHloner Mills

at the city hall, after which

Loomi* declared that Remann,

like any other public spirited clti

' sen, merely wanted a clean city.

' "But he will find nothing,"

•" the chief said,

" Already Has Evidence.

' Notwithstanding Loomls' as-*

sertion that the city Is not vleo

ridden, Remann declared he haa

evidence sufficient Immediately

to abate some property.

"And Just as fast as I can ae

rummulate It, other evidence will

be taken into court," he said. "I

will not tolerate excuses. 1 am

going ahead with this thing, I

care not whom it hurts.

Asks for t '((-operation.

"The proposition Is not one

of chasing a few unfortunate

women from one part of tbe city

to another, but I want to get tho

t fellows who are deriving money

from Tacoma's vice quarter,

whether as companions of tho

women, collectors or property

owners."

Remann issued an earnest re

quest that cltliens' committees

formed to clean up the vice quui-

I ter bring their evidence, what

* ever it might be, before him so

) that a thorough cleansing of the

city might be brought about.

I "While I have been gathering

my evidence for more than thret

weeks," he said, "there Is much

I that I have not found out."

The prosecutor said he intends

abating one hotel at once. This

place has been raided three times

within as many weeks, he says.

"Commissioner Mills and

I.oomls this morning," l.c added,

"assured me if I found anything,

I might look to them for aid day

or night. They will be given

the opportunity to work with me,
