SPEAKING OF
BIG BONUSES

G. Z. Keagy, in charge of the
city and federal employm ent Of
flee on 10th street, tells these:
"A woman called up the other
day and asked for a man to do
some work for her. He was sent
down to 14th street. In a little
while he came back and said that
the woman wanted him to take
some booze to Seattle for her.
He refused. Later the woman
couldn't be found.
Another time a woman called
in and man was sent to her resi-
dence on Sixth avenue. On arriv-
ing he was told that if he would
help take some camping material
to Day island, help put up tent
and dig some clans she would
pay him by cooking a mess of
clans for him.
Still another time a man
spaded a garden for four hours,
and at the end of that time as
payment for his work the woman
offered him an old suit of I'M
derwear. After some remon-
STRANGE on my part, the woman
paid the man 81 and gave him
the underwear. He was a mar
ried man, too"

PLANS TO DANISH
fire DEPT. HORSES

Petit proposes to purchase
seven pieces of motor driven ap-
paratus. They would be combi-
nation pump, hose wagon and
chemical engine. Two of the
pumps would be of 1000 gallons
per minute capacity, and five of
$50 gallons.
Pumping capacity of the en-
tire department at present is g.
500 gallons. With the new equip
ment it would be $500 gallons,
or an increase of 80 per cent.
The seven motor driven ma
chimes would replace seven steam
engines and nine two-horse hose
wagons, together with the 80
horses now left in the department.
Old equipment would bring So
$50, 1t is estimated. Two of the
present steam engines have been
in service q years.
1.-THE motorization plan will not
affect the number of firemen on
the department" said Petit. But
it will give us more firemen for
active duty, besides increasing
the ability of the department to
respond to alarms quickly.
Outlying districts, particularly
the tideflats, would be given far
greater protection than at pres

Old Dobbin, the faithful fire
horse, will be but a mere memory
in Tacoma IL months hence, If
a plan of complete motorization
for the fire department, prepared
by Commissioner Petit, is adopt
ed by the city council.
Experts have spent weeks MAX
ing estimates for him, and they
figure that the fire department
will save $4,000 a year by such
a move, besides giving at least
so per cent greater efficiency.
The commissioner will lay his
plan before the council Wednes-
day morning, at the same time
asking permission to borrow $780,
900 from the light and power re-
serve fund with which to purchase
new equipment.
Repay in Five Years.
Such a loan can be legally exc
cuted between the two depart
ments, City Attorney Harmon has
ruled, and in this way the city
will save interest which 1t would
otherwise have to pay out IL 1t
issued bonds.
The fire department will pay
four and one-half per cent inter-
est on the loan, but the money
will be simply transferred from
one city fund to another.

PLAN TO.
FOIL SUB.
British Devise a
Convoy Means
II O Frustrate
Blockade.

Newspaper Enterprise AssOciation)
NEW YORK, Feb. 90
With conveys of her newest
4O-knot destroyers, heavily
armed, circling at express
train speed around fleets of
slOw-mOving merchantmen
and frighters, Britain expects
to Illustrate the latest and
most menacing tactics of Ger
many's submarine blockade.
Capt. Guy Gaunt, r. NJ, British
naval attache, described today in
his office at the British consulate
the method that will be used to
protect the cargoes on which Brit
ain must depend for her very life.
I'm protecting our mercantile
marine at the present time we
have simply to consider the SUBJ
MARINE" said Capt. Gaunt.
Half a dozen fast destroy
ers will be able to afford ade-
quate protection to a fleet of,
say, 80 merchantmen.
1.-THE range of visibility of a u
boat is not more than three miles.
This means that the destroyers
will not be compelled to steer a
course more than three miles from
the ships being protected.
The big steamers will take the
center of the convoy and the
smaller tramps the fringe. Now,
these small ships do not draw
much water, which will make it
necessary for U-boat commander
In attempting an attack, to set his
torpedo to travel at not more than
three feet below the surface.
''This would make IL very
uncertain whether the tOrpe-
do would ever reach its tar
get for at but three feet be-
low the surface the torpedo
would be very apt to break
water In coming to the sur
face the torpedo would prob
ably bump wave and have
its 'gyro' all upset. There
would be no telling then
where. It would eventually
land.
with every merchantmen in
the convoy armed, and with the
destroyers ever on the alert, a
convoy of merchantmen would be
very dangerous job for a sub
marine commander to tackle.
1.-THE British government is full
ly alive to the new submarine
danger and is prepared to lose
many more ships. That is the
price we are paying for the COM
mand of the seas. But you will
notice that British ships are sail
ing Just the same. We still have
thousands of ships on all the seas.
I'VE are not being blockaded.
II is the neutrals that are being
blockaded."

OLYMPIA, Feb. 20. - Sam
Wall, Tacoma ambassador
from the snowy summit, may
not have "the faith to remove

faith to remove the name of u
mountain.
After months of enduring the
SCOTS and ridicule of those who
said ut couldn't be DONE" Sam
Wall, inhaling big gobs from his
inevitable stogie, saw his faith

POWER
TO ACT!
Will Give the
President New
Authority T O
Use Navy.

United Press Leased Wire.p
WASHINGTON, ID. g., Feb.
20.-Secretary of State Lam
sing and Attorney General
Gregory today asked the sem
ate judiciary committee to
pass Immediately a bill which
would give the president
power to handle the present
International situation with
out recourse to war.
The bill empowers the president
to employ the land and naval
forces of the nation to enforce
compliance with and prevent vio-
lation of, the obligations of the
United States under the laws of
nations"
Briefly such a law would mean
that the president could employ
this country's army or navy in en-
gaging in any trade or commerce
with any belligerent country as
long as international law, as I'M
derstood and agreed to by this
government is not violated by any
such trade or commerce.
If this bill passes, it is under
stood the president will not go
before congress at all unless some
act should occur which would
force him into a request for dec
laration of war.
Senator's and representatives say
that since this government feels
it is a matter of obligation, to
keep its trade open to any bellig-
erent, that can profit by such
trade and commerce the bill would
mean that the president would be
vested with broadcast powers in
keeping American ports open and
in keeping American ships plying
the seas.
The bin was promulgated and
studied by the judiciary commit
tee along with the IA espionage
bills, which were passed in the
senate today.
Following the visit of Lansing
and Gregory today, the committee
announced ii would take action on
the bill Thursday.
