Eyes, it's a fact. Tacoma we
believe is the greatest little city

prohibition city. And we have
with us Duane B. Williams, who
was offered the only license to
SELL liquors Of any kind, and he
refused it, which we consider
beats all records"

comes from a strictly "dry" and
sober city, they are about as en-
thusiastic a bunch of people as
over came to Tacoma.

day, but somehow could not get

Tacoma in the future" said Mr..
Fletcher.
f"'Our people are simply amazed
at your lumber industries. And
this city certainly has wonderful
Possibilities for the future"
Y All of the visitors were taken
with Tacoma hospitality. They are
all sorry they did not come soor-
ct and stay longer.
Their glee club is certainly a
winner. 1t has "a voices, and
their singing at the Commercial
Club this noon was simply small

The visitors reached this city
ABOUT 1880 today. and were taken

big eight-foot log sliced into mer-
chantable lumber.

for dinner. This afternoon they
were taken to the High school,

A message today states that a
number of Moslems have been

The Cretan government officials
have resigned and the administra-

Something savoring on the old

of Division Superintendent Albee
of the Northern Pacific ripped up
80 feet of track connecting the
Milwaukee systems Front street

Before the men finished the
work they we're treated to an in

coming through a hose that is
used ait the Tacoma mill for fire
protection. The laborers were
glad to escape from the vicinity
of the stream of cold water and
later in the afternoon, when track
layers for the Milwaukee appeared
|on the scene and connected UP the
gap, no effort was made to undo
the work.
Hill Felt Aggrieved.
c. e. Hill, manager of the Ta-
coma MEL company, says that ne
felt aggrieved when he learned
that the Northern Pacific men
were tearing up the Milwauk se
tracks. He laughed when remind
ed that he took a rather effective
way of routing the N. P. forces,
but would not discuss that'feature
of the affair. Reports received
at the central police station yes

water was turned on, but, as 40

did not interfere, nor were they
called upon by either side to take
any part in the controversy.

ROSARY - WAS ONCE FA-
NOUS BEAUTY.
(By United Press Leased wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The po-
lice of this city are confronted
with a new murder mystery today
which promises to develop many
interesting facts. following the
discovery of Madalla Vacco, for
merly a famous beauty of the ten
derloin, strangled to death with I
rosary, the last semblance of the
religion to which she was once
devoted. The body was found In
a room on the fourth floor of
tenement building, which the wom-
an owned.
Robbery evidently was the mo-
tive of the crime, as a fortune in
diamonds and other precious
stones had been torn from her fin
gers.
More than one hundred dollars
in small bills was scattered about
the floor. A bullet hole showed
that she had been shot after she
was strangled and the position of
the body showed that she died
while struggling to retain her
money.
The neighbors say the woman
spent much of the night drinking
champagne with four men. The
police are seeking Giuseppe Purai-
no. The manager of the tenement
who has been placed under arrest,
protests that he knows nothing of
the crime.
The dead woman is famous To-
cal character and had amassed q
fortune.

HEAT CAUSES
CRIME WAVE
Six Murders and Seven Suicides in Chi
cago in 36 Hours, Attributed to H Hot
Weather-Many Prostrations
(By United Press Leased Wire }

BY United Press Leased Wire.
CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-Six
persons have been murdered,
seven have committed sui
eide, and the hospitals are
crowded with heat victims, as
a result of the hot wave that
has enveloped Chicago for
the last SO hours. The ex-
treme heat, the police say,
is directly responsible for the
crime wave from which Chi
cago is now suffering. With
the mercury lowering near
SO degrees, scores of heat
prostrations, in addition to
numerous cases of suicides
and murders have been re-
ported.
Police and hospital ambu-
lances have been kept busy
answering calls. The suffer-
ing has been intense in the
tenement district where most
of the suicides have occurred.
Although the thermometer
is closely pressing the 80
mark the humidity is less,
and the heat not SO intense.
Within SO hours an expert
Chicago accountant, after
numbering his wife and son,
blew out his brains, a mother
driven insane by the extreme
heat, killed her three young
est children, after she had
attempted to wipe out the en-
tire family. She then COM
mitted suicide by asphyxia-
tion.
These cases, according to
the police. were caused by in
sanity superinduced by the
excessive heat.

The drawing of the first en-

Spokane lawyer, selected for the
purpose, was marked by great en-

hundred applicants assembled at
the drawing stand.
Interest in the drawing was
almost as great as in the previous
drawings, in spite of the fact that
the land in the Spokane reserva-

ity for farming. The reservation
comprises Al claims, and only
$50 envelopes were drawn.
