Wilson For
Ship Fight
Once Again

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. IS.
On the eve of his departure for
the west, Secretary McAdoo as
sured the United Press that he
hoped and believed President VIII
son again would press his mer-
chant marine bill-the nut Of
which is U. S. purchase and OBJ
GRAFTON of ship-to passage.
He dined with President Wilson
last night.
The hopelessness of private
capital coming to the relief OF
American foreign trade, and The
fact that the government alone il
strong enough to give the neces
sary quick assistance, were named
by McAdoo was two reasons why
he believed the bill would sue
coed.

FaWCett
Wins His
Dry Fight

Mayor Fawcett today won his
fight for an ordinance which will
make blind-pigging after Jan. /
in Tacoma a serious offense.
The council unanimously APP
proved an ordinance which Will
compel the acting chief OF police
to report to the prosecuting at
torney the names OF all persons
convicted of offenses under tho
liquor or red-light laws, together
with list of witnesses In each
case.
This will enable the prosecutor
to keep an official tab OH Offend
ers, SO that the AIDED penalties
for second and subsequent con-
victions may be imposed.
Despite the city ordinances
which imposes merely fines, tina
"drys" plan an aggressive prose-
cution of blind-piggers under the
state law, which requires iai1
sentences for repeated offenses.
Fawcett intends his ordinance to
aid in this work.
Failure of the chief to make
these reports is made cause for
his dismissal. -
