MAYOR CARRIES FIGHT
TO CLUBS Membership

The city is into it. The question
now is will the business men be
loyal to the city's interests and
demand legislation that will per-
NIT our progress. Let's get busy
and develop our own. If profits
are made they will remain here,
not be sent to Boston.
There is not legitimate argu-
ment against our demands. The
cry that the city which pays no
taxes will compete with private
interests that do pay taxes is with
out weight for the legislature can
amend the law to provide that the
city must pay a percentage on its
gross earnings in lieu of taxes,
thus equalizing conditions. The
city is willing for such a provis-
ion. 1t asks nothing unfair or
unreasonable. 1t does ask Justice
and for what is right and it hopes
the club will line up it's member
ship and get in the fight and en-
phasize its demands at Olympia.
I'VE got together and won the
army post; let's get together now
and develop civic spirit and win
these other battles to permit Ia
coma to go forward to a wonder

NEW YORK, Feb. 15-"H the captain and crew
of the schooner Lyman M Law, all of them Ameri-
cans from long line of American seafaring men,
have no protection, who the hell has?" demanded
George W. s. Green of the Maritime Transportation
Co., owners of the schooner, today
The Lyman M Law was sunk Tuesday by an Aus.
TRAN submarine in the Mediterranean sea.
'The owners, captain and crew of that vessel are
all Americans" Green said.
A formal statement given out by Green declared
the owners have cabled Captain McDonough for fur
Their details of the sinking, to discover whether she
was sunk without warning and have consulted attor
news to determine whether there is basis for civil
action.
Green repeated the assertion that the schooner was
loaded only with shocks for making lemon boxes and
that representative of the company watched the
loading to make sure no contraband would be taken
aboard.
Green expressed the belief that the schooner al
ready was in the Mediterranean when the German
submarine order was published to the world She had
no wireless he sad and could not have known of the
decree.
The Lyman M Law he said, recently was over
hauled at cost of $40 600.

Asking the membership Of
the Commercial, and Rotary
clubs to unite in solid lobby
to influence the state legisla-
ture to pass bill now before
It, permitting cities to extend
electricity or other municipal
utilities within q three-mile
zone outside the city limits,
Mayor Fawcett has addressed
q letter to the club officials.
Fawcett suggests that
committee of 100 be sent to
Olympia to argue the advant-
ages of this bill, and asks ev-
cry business man in Tacoma
to work for it's passage.
The letter follows:
1.-THE people of Tacoma united
and won the army post-a splen-
did beginning toward the develop
ment of a Greater Tacoma. But
the army post alone will not make
us. We must reduce taxes,
arouse a civic spirit and conserve
and develop our community inter-
ests.
Right now Tacoma is against
stone wall. We want to furn-
ish to the tideflat area outside our
limits light, power, water and
street railway facilities from the
public utilities owned by the peo-
pie in which you are all stock
holders. This area is really a
part of Tacoma. This business
rightly belongs to the municipal
utilities in which you are share
holders. In time 1t would mean
probably half a million dollars ad-
ditional revenue, practically clear.
This. would make a great tax re-
duction possible to attract other
industries and residents and les
sen your own burdens.
Legislature Balks.
"But the legislature says nay.
Bills are before the legislature
to permit the city to aid in this
development and for home rule
but the paid lobbyists of Stone
Webster and other corporations
are also there and thus far the leg
islature has needed the lobbyists
and ignored the cities of the state.
Just a year ago, this city, at
the request OF members of your
club and other commercial bodies
granted a power franchise to the
T. r. & p. Co., under a gentle
mems agreement that the COM
pany would no longer protest
against the city selling its service
outside its limits. Now the COM
pany repudiates. its promise and
is blocking every attempt of the
city to get justice at Olympia.

Underworld

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. Is
San Francisco's underworld today

Hysteria and excitement which
came with the closing of the

one of the worlds most notori-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Hope
is fast waning in official circles
that the clash looming between the
United States and Germany can
be avoided.
Germany's persistence in her
ruthless U-boat destruction of
neutral as well as belligerent mer-
chantment is helping to kill hope
for continuance of peace.
Entrance into the new ruthless
U-boat campaign yesterday by an
Austrian submarine added to the
crushing weight of this hope, espe-
cially in view of the fact that the
American ship sunk did not have
contraband of war aboard.
Cast Aside Caution
Germany's position, apparently,
is to cast all caution to the winds;
at least her statesmen are quoted
as saying she will not have regard
for America nor anyone else.
In addition to this is the fact
that the nations business is fast

Health Commissioner e. A. Rich
sent letter to the council Thurs

In case the jail were later re-

said.

protest.

While officials would not dis

Coming as the incident does, on
the heels of the sinking of an
