ELUOE PURSUIT
PETTY RIALRY BETWEEN DE-

SPOKANE, May 19.-Lack of
cooperation, jealousies and petty
rivalry have combined to throw
obstacles in the path between the
two robbers who Saturday night
held up a Great Northern train
and the scores Of sleuths who are
on their trail.
The reward Of $4,000 offered
by the government and the rail-
road company for the capture and
conviction of the bandits has set
the heads of the detectives in a
whirl. They have fiocked here
from various parts of the country,
each one expecting to beat the 9th
er fellow to the hiding place of
the robbers. None of them seems
to entertain the same theory, but
the most noticeable feature of the
chase is the utter lack of co-opera-

iff and the strange detectives, OF
whom the local officers are jeal-

CITY TO SELL

Tacoma citizens may now cook
with electricity.
On request ofSCity Electrician
Lauzon, the council fire and water
committee has agreed to permit
him to sell current to citizens for

price so low that cooking can be
done by electricity cheaper than by
gas and the former heat has none
of the disadvantages of bad odor
and poisonous fumes, such as are
attributed to gas.

new SCHEME TO
SELECT RULER
OF TURKS
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 10
If legislation favored by the Young
Turks meets the approval of the
parliament, the time honored Turs
kish law of succession to the
throne may be annulled.
According to the present law,
upon the death of the monarch
the crown goes to the senior
descendant of the founder of the
dynasty. This procedure almost
invariably results In a raising to
power of elderly or failing men.
The Young Turks want young,
energetic and virile rulers. They
want adopted the general Europ-
can law Of succession that provides
for the coronation of the senior
son of the former monarch.

LONDON, May 19.-British
liquor interests have figured out
that they are hit worse than they
thought at first by Chancellor of
the Exchequer Lloyd-George's
new budget. The full horror of
the situation did not burst upon
them at once, however.
1t was thought the maximum
license fee would be something
like $1,000, very considerable
advance over the old rate, consid-
ering that the latter never ex-
ceeded $3.50. Now the liquor in
terests have nearly swooned, for
they have discovered that the max
imum will be $37,50O. The latter
sum is what the Piccadilly hotel in
London will have to pay for the
privilege Of running its bar.

That's Progress, and Progress is made

Fels-Naptha is science applied to the

wonderful.
Formerly washday was time of sick

The Fels-Naptha washday-the
