Forced to Close Saloons
Wenatchee Mayor Yields to Demands
of Citizens in Regard to
Sunday Closing

Abraham Lincoln once said: with
public sentiment nothing can fail, with
out it nothing can succeed
The people of Wenatchee, Washing
ton, are beginning to realize the sound
ness of that doctrine. A few weeks
ago, Mayor Littlefield publicly took the
stand that the saloons of Wenatchee
should be allowed to keep open on Sun
days, and said that he would enforce
the law at his discretion.
Under the leadership of the Metho-
dist minister, Rev. Kufus, the sentiment
and public indignation have risen to
such a height that the mayor has been

on trial 1t made 26.15 knots per hour.
This is a tremendous sped for so small
a boat and speaks volumes for the
skill OF the builders. There are five
sets Of engines operating on three
shafts. These engines were built by
Messrs. Napier from designs furnish
ed by MIR. NJ. Napier. The propellfnR
engines are located in a small COCKPIT
in the center Of the boat. The tank
carrying a ton OF petrol, is located OF
the. stern Of the boat above the half
deck so that in Ease OF leakage the
petroleum will drain into the water
instead Of into the boat. Above this
is a torpedo tube which may be fred
over either side or the stern.
The advocates of this boat claim
that in as much as 1t can be built for
one.hfteenth OF the cost Of a destroy

tie machinery to get out Of order 1t
offers many advantages that larger
craft do not. The moral effect of a
large number of these vessels would.
it is believed, be a greater on a
blockading squadron than a smaller
number Of the larger boats. The yes
sci weighs but eight tons with en-
gfnes and full equipment. They can
therefore be easily carried on the deck
of a ship.
The French Naval authorities are
experimenting with similar styles OF
torpedo craft.
