FAILS I'm
SUICIDE
E FOR T

Thomas Fusi, a Camp Lewis SOL
der from Wallace, Idaho, tried
unsuccessfully OF kill himself with
an army rifle while walking his
post last Sunday, 1t was learned
today.
He is a member of company II,
362nd infantry.
While serving as guard he sud
denly raised his gun and blazed
away at his head.
The shot blew his hat off and
cut his calp, but not seriously.
He then knelt and was about to
repeat the attempt, but was pre-
vented by Denny O'Leary, another
member of the company, who took
his gun from him.
Fusi is now in the guard house.
He probably will be court-mar-
tailed.

ARMY'S
TABOO
IS Laid

Military ponce StdtIoneu III
Tacoma received a list We'd
nesday night of nearly 100
restaurants, hotels, stores and
barber shops in Tacoma that
have failed 10 live up to fed
eral health regulations, with
orders to prevent any uni
formed soldier or officer of
Camp Lewis from patronzing
them.
The order is one of the most
drastic yet issued at Camp Lewis
in the campaign against disease
among the soldiers.
Failure of the Tacoma health
department. to enforce sanitary
regulations in places where food is
handled and in barber shops, to-
gether with the refusal or neglect
of many Of the proprietors and en-
ployes to undergo physical exam
ination at the city hall, caused the
order.
AFFECTS All Soldiers.
Every restaurant, hotel, confec-
tionery store, grocery, candy kitch-
en- or barber shop in the city that
has lived UP to all sanitary meas
ures and has been approved by the
federal health service, has been
supplied with state certificate of
inspection.
According to the general order,
no man in the uniform of the U.
8. army may patronize place that
does not display the certificate.
Military police have received or
ders to eject any man from a res
taurant or eating house that has
no certificate. An elected man
does not have to pay for his meal,
whether he has just concluded it
or Is only starting to eat.
Steer Customers Away.
One of the first visible evidences
OF the enforcement of the order
was at fruit and confectionery
store on Pacific ave., near 18th
where a uniformed man of the
military police was stationed
Thursday.
This soldier had orders not TO
permit any soldier or officer to en-
ter the place or make a purchase.
He was kept busy turning away
would-be customers.
Failure Of the store to live UP
to federal demands of cleanliness
In its candy kitchen caused the
special order at this place, it was
reported.
The Fawcett hotel, 18th and
Broadway, owned by Mayor
Fawcett and his brother, F. NJ.
Fawcett. was one of the places put
under the federal ban.
Mayor Fawcett said that he had
heard nothing OF the boycott
Thursday, and that his health de-
partment had not been criticised
for failure to make Tacoma res

Liquor selling to soldiers is on

doctors are the offenders.

made to his office.

HENEY THINKS
HE WILL WIN

CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-Francis ].
Heney, having announced his can
didacy for the nomination for gov
-ernor of California, today turned
his attention to putting his whole
strength into the race.
He is confident of winning the
nomination. Already he is count
ing on obtaining the support of
progressive elements of all parties
in the state in the campaign for
election.
His platform will be his past
record. Assuming the mantle of
progressivism which Hiram John
son wore, Heney's drive will be
against the "reactionary forces OF
special privilege" which he de-
clares threaten to regain control
of the state.
