Villa was a sincere admirer C

Villas god, and he fought like tiger
to avenge Madero's death. His reform

You can readily see why Villa was

was one of them. He knew their
viewpoint. He fought with them and
for them. He could have walked
across the border with $5.000,O00 in
American banks and never gone back.
But he always said he would live and
die in Mexico-and die with his
boots on fighting for his people-the

two quarts of whisky. She was

plioation.

Doten said that the business
had hardly been as brisk as he
expected for the first two days.
He expected there would be a
rush for the first dozen permits
at least.
Prosecutor Remain said that
all habitual drunkards will be
denied permits. The statutes say
that all criminals and persons
who have broken state laws can
be denied and he will include
habitual drunkards in this list.

to the legality OF both members

NO ARRESTS HERE

Tacoma police officers are
Boosting today over the fact that
no arrests for drunkenness have
been made since prohibition took
effect.
In fact the Tacoma cops have
done nothing much but loaf since
the whistles last Friday midnight
announced new year. Unlike
Seattle, where many arrests have
occurred for drunkenness and q
scandal in brewing because OF
the alleged open sale of liquor
in blind pigs" there has not
even been a report in Tacoma of
the Illicit sale of booze.
John Weeks. a porter, was TAX
en- to Jail late last night for safe
keeping. He is suffering from
delirious, cause, the police say,
from oyer-indulgence in liquor
last week, and his enforced sud-
den cessation from further drink
ing this week.
The golden rule" of the po-
lice department has been Danish
ed. Heretofore when a policeman
found a man slightly intoxicated
1t was his duty to guide the I'M
lucky one home. Strict orders
were given out to policemen to-
day by Capt. Read, however, to
arrest any man who was found
to be even slightly under the in
fluence.
