A committee selected by tho former service men will call on tho director of public safety today and lay before him their cpmplnint against Lieutenant Marple. who refused to allow the re turned soldiers to enter the station house. The veterans say Vnrc workerR be came Incensed when they learned Judge Chnrlcs L. Ilrown, of the Municipal Court, was to address the meeting and took the steps which resulted In the lockout. The address of Judge Ilrown. the men say, was to be n patriotic one nnd nonpolltical.

The patrolman suggested to Myers that hos tilities cease in view of the armistice last November. Myers swung both fists in n circle and the three policemen went down with as many thnds.

The driver went to the aid of the sergeant and thero were timss during the ride to the station the horses were driverless. Finally the police department and the marine corps became so involved that the driver, of his own volition, switched his course nnd called at tho Jefferson Hospital.

CITIZENS OF PASCO F President Learns "Band Is Worn Out" and "Takes Grit to Live Hero" SPEAKS AT TACOMA TODAY By tho Associated Press On Board Prraldent Wilson's Special Train, Sept. 13. When President Wil son's special train stopped for a few minutes at Pasco, Wash., last night a crowd surrounded the private car May flower, and the President came out hi shako hnnds and exchange greetings with them. After telling Rcversl stories he wound up by making a short speech. In which he said the war was "unfinished" until Hip lnited Stntes had assumed respon sibility for its pledges that future wars should be made Impossible. When he nsked how so large a rrowtl had gathered without having the band out Mr. Wilson was told bv one of tho boys present that "the band wore out." Another boy, wearing o faded band man's uniform, was thrust forward then and presented as "the pole mem ber of Pasco's brass band." Tho Pres ident remarked that he did not look ns though he had wind enough, and then an old inhabitant confided that "ho had given the band $15 not to piny tonight." Country and People Full of GUI The talk tlipn turned to the prevail ing dry wpather, Mr. Wilson remarking it was a sandy country. "Yes," said a man In the crowd, "we have to hnve a lot of grit to live here." One of the President's stories which got a long laugh was about a man who played golf nnd nlways said "Assouan" when he missed the ball. When asked why, he replied that "Assouan was the biggest dam In the world." Ah the train slowly got under way and Mr. Wilson was waving good-by'to the cheering crowd, his attention was attracted to n man who ran along the track in nn evident endeavor to over, take the receding rear platform. When the Presldeut turned to him inquir ingly, he puffed : "Don't mind me; I only promised to get the Inst look at you from Paso, and I've clone It." Doesn't Fear British Votes In his speech nt Spokane yesterday, the President replied to objection that Oreat Britain would have a preponder ance of voting power in the league of. nations assembly. He said any possible danger on that score was 'removed by the fact that decisions must be unani mous. The President, speaking of the diffi culty of defining the Monroe Doctrine, said: "Inasmuch as you cannot or would not define the Monroe Doctrine at least I would not because I do not know how soon we may want to extend It inasmuch as we do not wnnt to de fine it. whnt more could you say than that nothing in that instrument shall Impair the validity of the Monroe Doc trine?"
