ICushman'S
Name Must
Be ChiseIed

The name OF late Congressman
Francis ID. Cushman must be
stricken from bronze tablet to
be placed Saturday In Point De-
fiance park by the Daughters OF
the American Revolution.
This was demanded by the Met
ropolitan park board today, at =
special meeting called to consider
the ethics OF permitting Cush-
mans name to go ON the tablet.
The tablet is being placed on a
large boulder In the park, rs a
memorial to Captain Wilkes. dis
coverer and manner of Point De-
fiance.
On the tablet. however, the D.
A. r. ladies also have placed the
statement that Congressman
Cushman obtained the park from
the government, for Tacoma.
This is untrue, the park BOARD
announced today, because tee
park was granted to Tacoma In
1883, and Cushman merely ,b-
tanned a fee simple title to Ia,
property, IL years later.
Mrs. CA. Pratt, regent Of the
Mary Ball chapter, ID. A. r., and
Mrs. Fred Beebe, chairman OF he
memorial committee, appea-ed At
the special meeting and entered
q heated protest to the boards
action.

Deny Positively
That Submarine
Sank HeSperian

BERLIN, Sept. 23.-The adj
miralty submitted to the foreign
office today a memorandum de-
claring positively that no Ger
man submarine sank the liner
Hesperian.
The statement suggests the pos
sibility that the vessel struck a
mine which was intended to de-
stroy submarine.
The submarine commanders re-
port many mines floating. in the
Irish sea, tending to. strengthen
the theory that the Hesperian
may have fouled one.
The memorandum probably
will be embodied in a note to the
United States. y

MAYOR
SCENTS
A PLOT

Declaring that Commits
sioner Mills was trying to
minimize the punishment for
illegal sale OF liquor, or
"biind pigging," In Tacoma
after prohibition takes ef-
feet, Mayor Fawcett today
began vigorous fight
against Mills new prOhibi-
tiOn ordinance.
Fawcett prepared substitute
ordinance, by which he specified
heavier punishment for violation
OF the liquor laws.
The city wants to pass an )rdi-
nance to take effect Jan j, so
that the police department will
have simpler means of enforc-
ing prohibition than by swearing
out charges under the state law.
Then, too, all fines under such
an ordinance would 60 to the city
treasury.
Would Make 1t Too Easy.
mills is trying to make 1t an
easy matter for a man to run a
blind pig in Tacoma next year.
declared Fawcett. HE fixed the
punishment so light that a blind
bigger could afford to be arrest
ed periodically, and still make
good money. The state law pro-
vides the following punishment:
First offense, fine of not less than
$50 and not more than $3.50, or
Jail sentence of from 10 days to
3 months; second offense, fine of
between $50 and $500 or Jail GEN.
tence of between 80 days and six
months; third offense, fine oil
between $3.50 and $500, and moi
less than months or more than
one year in jail"
City's Limit 500.
The city cannot assess a fine
of more than 500 for violation
of any ordinance.
In the proposed ordinance Of
Mills introduced to the council
yesterday. he provided the follow.
ing punishments: First offense
fine up to 800; second oefense
fine not less than $50 or more
than 800; third offense, fine oil
500 and possible 30-day Jail sen.
tence.
Fawcett will ask the council &c
change the ordinance, he an.
nounced today, making the fol.
lowing punishment: First Of
Tense, fine of $50 to 500 or not
less than 10 day sentence; second
offense, fine of $50 to 500 and
not less than 10 day sentence;
third oftense, and all subsequent
offenses, fine of 500 and 80 day
sentence.
According to Assist. City Attor
ney Carnahan, liquor law viola

state law, after the city has fin

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. "a
Just as predicted by ellison Gard
ner from Washington, d. C., two
weeks ago, the "water-power
conference" last night adopted
resolutions opposing the system
of the United States leasing pow
err sites to private corporations.
1t specifically endorsed the
proposition that the United States
should give away such sites, just
as 1t gave away its homesteads
and its forests.
Then it capped the climax of
three days of stand-pattism by
this phrase:
1--WE are opposed to the owner
ship or control by the United
States government Of Interstate
public utilities"
Senator Walsh of Montana and
Senator Chamberlain Of Oregon
fatty told the conference its de-
alterations" would have no in
fluence in the national capital.

TRUST
BUSY!

NEW YORK, Sept. .,3. -
Middle West Germans and
the banking interests friend
Iy to the packing industries
In that section apparently
had blocked the 81, OOO,OOO
900 loan to the allies today.
While financiers here were
hopeful, outwardly at least, that
all troubles would be smoothed
out, they admitted that the big
loan had struck snag."
All day yesterday the loan
commissioners kept mysterio,lsiy
out of sight. Today they were
reported to be trying to arrive at
some sort of compromise.
II was generally supposed here
that the packing interests of the
Middle West, which have lost big
cargoes through England's block
ade, had taken this means OF re-
taliating. Strong German inter-
ests In Cincinnati, Chicago and
Milwaukee also were supposed to
have had an influence.
Efforts to float the loan have
not been dropped.

LONDON, Sept. 23.-The leu

fighting a bloody duel fpr the
possession of Dvinsk, a stehtegic

At many points the armies are

County Officers
In Budget Fuss

County commissioners and 9TH
er county officers today were en-
gagged In spirited controversy
as to which department must
stand the sacrifices necessary to
make a. proposed cut of $50, 600
in the budget for next year.
Commissioners were detcrmin-
ed to make up the greater part OF
the total by slashing here and
there in all of the departments
Other county officers were pre-
pairing to organize into unit, SO
as to compel the commissioners
to make further cut in the road
and bridge fund-the county

WILSON PRAISES
THE EVERYDAY MAN
President Pays Tribute to Multi
tude at Flag Day Exercises.
NO REFERENCE TO WAR.
Patriotism is Greeted With
Enthusiasm.

Washington, June IA tribute
to 1.-The great multitude Of unknown
men" who constitute the body of the
nation, and an appeal for patriotism
in everyday life, instead of on special
occasions only, marked a speech by
President Wilson today from the
treasury steps at Flag Day exercises.
PRESIDENTS REMARKS.
For me-" said the President,
that flag does not express an en-
bodiment of sentiments. No man
can rightly serve under that flag who
has not caught some of that history.
You do not create the meaning
of any national life by any literary
exposition of it, but by the daily en-
! deavors of great people do the
tasks of the Gay and live up to the
ideals Of honesty and righteousness
and just conduct. And as we think
of these things our tribute is to those
men who have created this expert
ence. OF these men we feel that
/ they have shown the way. They have
not been afraid to go before. They
/ have know that they were speaking
the thoughts of a great people when
they led that great people along the
/ paths of achievement. There was
not single swashbuckler among
/ them. They were men of sober
/ quiet thought, the more effective be
! cause there was no bluster in IL
| They were men who thought along
the lines of duty, not along the lines
of self-aggrandizement. They were
men, in short, who thought Of the
people whom they served and not Of
/ themselves.

WITH THE MULTITUDE.

But while we think of them and
do honor to them as those who have
shown us the way, let us not forget
that the real experience and life of Il
nation lies with the great multitude
of unknown men. They constitute
the body of the nation. The flag is
the essence of their daily endeavors.
This flag does not express any more
than what they are and what they
desire to be; and as / think Of the
life of this great nation it seems to
me that we sometime look to the
wrong places for its sources.
I'VE look to the noisy places,
where men arc talking in the market
place; we look to where men are eN-
pressing their individual opinions
we look where partisans are express
ing passion; instead of trying to at
tune our ears to that voiceless mass
of men who merely go about their
daily tasks, try to be honorable, try
to serve the people they love; try to
live worthy OF the great communi-
ties to which they belong. These are
the breath of the nations nostrils I.
these are the sinew of its might.
EVERYDAY PATRIOTISM.
There are no days of special pa
triotism There are no days when
you should be more patriotic than on
other days.
"I am solemnized in the presence
of such a day. / would not under
take to speak your thoughts. You
must interpret them for me. But
do feel that back not only OF every
public official, but of every man and
woman Of the United States, taere
marches that great host which has
brought us to the present day; the
host that has never forgot the vision
which it saw at the birth Of the ma
ton; the host which always responds
to the dictates of humanity and of
liberty; the host that will always con-
stitute the strength and the great
body OF friends of every man who
does his duty to the United States.
"I am sorry that you do not wear
little flag of the union every day
instead of some days; and / can only
ask you. il you lose the physical en-
blem. to be sure that you wear it in
your heart. and the heart of America
shall interpret the heart of the
world"
