TACOMA PREACHER JAILED
mu parking auto wrong
TACOMA: Rev. Frank Dyes, pas
tor of the First Congregational church
of this city was put In Jail and later
taken Into police court charged with
leaving his car parked In a prohibited
zoue on Eleventh street.
"I'll rot in jail before I pay a hue
for a mistake,” is the reported state
ment made by Rev. Dyer to the city
police officer who arrested him.
He was taken to the city jail and
placed In Cell 1. A chair was giveD
him for comfort, and the noted di
vine consoled himself by reading the
mottos left on the wall by previous
prisoners. Among them was, “Peace
on earth, good will toward fellow
man."
Dr. Dyer was arrested last week
and a slip was left In the car ordering
him to appear In police court. He did
not put up the $2 bail or appear be
fore the court and a warrant was is
sued for his arrest.
When brought to the police station
he was notified that he would have to
put up a cash bail to appear in court
or else he would be placed in jail.
“I will put up no bail,” he retort
ed angrily.
Police Judge Graham later releas
ed the prisoner after fining him $2,
which Dyer refused to pay. Graham
held that inasmuch as Dyer had
served a fraction of time in jail he
had technically served his sentence.
“There are too many petty law:i
and not enough supervision." said
Dr. Dyer later. “The ordinances con
trolling the liberties of citizens are
without any element of reasonable
less. It is unfair to make a man a
criminal because he leaves his car on
one corner instead of another cor
ner unaware of the exact location the
city fathers have determined. They
have uever informed the public of
these restrictions. It is an absurd
way of taking care of the welfare of
the city."
i He said he had parked his car on
TTth St., because the usual place had
been torn up. and that he only step
ped into the t’ommercial club a few
! minutes on public business.

XKW YORK: How secretly the
United States dispatched the first flo
tilla of torpedo boat destroyers last
April to join the British navy in the
hunt for German subs was made pub
lic recently by Commander J. K. R.
Taussig, who took them across the
Atlantic.
“So anxious was the government
that the outside world in general
should know nothing of the move
ment of these ships." Commander
Taussig said, “that not even I. who
was in command of the expedition,
was informed of our destination.
"My orders were to proceed to a
point fifty miles east of Cape Cod and
then open my sealed instructions.
Until I got to that point at midnight
of the first night, nut, I did not know
that our first port of call was to be
Queenstown, Ireland.
“The British naval men were very
glad to see us. Things were looking
black. In the three previous weeks
the submarines had sunk 152 British
ships. We immediately had depth
bombs installed so as to fight the .sub
marines.
“We escorted many ships and we
saved many lives. I cannot say we
sank any submarines. The submarine,
I found, was a very difficult bird to
catch. He always sees you first. Only
once did my vessel in seven months,
succeed in actually firing at a subma
rine. He then went down after the
fifth shot was fired. At that, he was
five miles away. But what they are
afraid of are the depth bombs. While
I cannot say positively that I sank
any submarines, I saw results on sev
eral occasions which led me to be
lieve that I had at least damaged one
or two.
"The patrol duty was very trying,
as the ocean was strewn with wreck
age for a distance of 300 miles off
shore. It was hard to tell a periscope
when we saw one. We fired at flsb,
floating spars and other objects, be
cause we could not afford to take a
chance. The submarine grew less ac
tive, or did less damage, as the sum
mer wore on.
“The question is, can we Tfbat the
submarine? I am sure we can, if the
people will do their part.”
