MI-TIPPING LAW
Tacoma, Wash., March 21. The
question of whether it shall be law
ful for Tacoma saloonkeepers to al
low customers to- treat their frienn
Is being finally decided at the polls
today. An ordinance prohibiting
treating, passed by the city commis
sioners and against which the refer
endum was invoked Is being voU-J
upon.
Up to the time the polls opened to
day little Interest had been shown it,
the election and the general opinion
was that it would be defeated. Mayor
Fawcett, father of the ordinance,
however, said that he believed the
measure would carry as the women,
who vote for the first time today
would turn out in force and work for
its success.
The ordinance as passed by tho
commission Is very strict. Among
other things It compells the saloons
to exhibit signs above the bar an
nouncing that no treating Is permit
ted. Upon conviction of a violation of
tho law, a fine of 100 dollars Is to be
assessed against the saloonists. Sa
loonmen say that If the election "car
ries fully TO per cent of the saloons

UNLESS NEW BUILDINGS ARE PROVIDED SCHOOLS
MIGHT AS WELL BE CLOSED. SAYS CHAIRMAN TALLMAX
"If Pendleton is to amount to anything the town must maintain
schools and unless some new buildings are provided the schools had
Just as well be closed." Thus spoke J. V. Tallnian, chairman of tho
school board, in discussing the bond election this morning. The em-
phasis with which he expressed himself made it clear he meant exactly
what he said '
In the course of the discussion Mr. Tallman pointed out the urgent-
need of completing the Lincoln school, on the north side of the river,
as well as erecting a new high school. At this time there are but four 1
rooms In the Lincoln school and so the school accommodates but half I
the number of grades provided for at tho Hawthorne and Washington
schools. This arrangement makes it necessary for north side children j
to walk to either the Hawthorne or Washington schools. This way of !
handling things"is intolerable in the view of Mr. Tallman and he says
that now Is the time for the people to correct a situation that has been
endured for the past few yenrs merely because local business conditions
were not considered right for voting bond issues. 4
The subject of voting bonds for erecting n new high school and for
completing the Lincoln school are to be voted upon Thursday. Cer-
tain interests that care little for the welfare of the schools but bate
taxes "as the Devil hates holy water" are working to defeat the bond is-
sue. Are the progressive people of Pendleton going to allow them to
succeed in the plot? .
The polls will be open nt the court houso from 1 o'clock until 4
Thursday afternoon.

ke Said Third Class Police Force
Was Better.
Washington, D. C, March 21. An
swering the criticisms of Colonel
Gaedke, the German military report
er who said the United States army
was not as efficient as a third class
police force, Congressman Hull of
Iowa, for 20 years chairman of the
house committee on military affairs,
said we could arm a million men into
a mobile army today and have plenty
for a reserve and an abundant sup
ply of amunitlon.
Army officers assert we could have
an army of three million men In the
field within three months.
Comments fr"m Kaiser Land.
Berlin, Germany, March 21.
Translated from the German, Herr
Colonel Richard Gaedke's expert
military opinion is that- the United
States army is inferior to a third
class police force, while" that of the
United States navy Is only a shade
1 etter. '
The ""opinion" is given in the
Tageblatt. Gaedke believes that Lhe
weakness of the American army, com
pared with European forces Is ex
treme and that it is a loose body of
troops without any bond betwe-n
them for co-operation. The United
States lacks generals organization
and military progresslvenes, according
j to the learned Berliner, and the navy,
j he says, shall be helpless when any
nation, warring with the United
1 States, sinks a ship in the Panama ca
nal.
FRENCH SOCIALISTS ARE
ENCOURAGED BY CHANGES
In France one of the chief causes
for regretting the downfall of the Brl
nnt ministry seems to be the encour
agement which the incident affords
to the socialist enemies of the French
republic. Mr. Brland's chief battles
were with the socialists, who have
become a far greater menace to the
republic, it is claimed, than the roy
alists and the imperialists combined
ever were. The impression will pre
vail that they drove the Brland min
istry from office. That may not be
correct, but entirely correct concep
tions of such matters are not always
prevalent. Certainly the French na
tion Is passing through a critical pe
riod In its history.

DR. ITTZ GERALD WILL
MAKE MODEL INSTITUTION
Xew Head of Tubercular Sanatorium
Is Brother of Pendleton Judge.
Dr. P. H. Fitz Gerald of Gervais,
and brother of Judge Thos. Fitz Ger
ald of this city, who has succeeded
Dr. W. J. Clements as superintendent
of the state tuberculosis sanatorium,
intends to place the institution on a
more economical basis at once, ac
cording to the Portland Journal. Dr.
Cllements had provided that out of a
$20,000 appropriation about $15,000
should go for salaries and $5000 for
food for the inmates. A farmer and
an assistant farmer were employed, it
is said, to look after two horses and
five cows, when one man, it is said,
could have done the work in a few
hours each day. In the same way it
Is reported that more nurses than
were necessary to care for patients
were employed.
While In Portland Saturday Dr.
Fitz Gerald said he believed the state
sanatorium could be made the mod
el Institution of the west. The bull
ing Is particularly well qualified for
the use to which it Is put and open air
pavilions have been proving especially
satisfactory. With the building there
is 110 acres of rich land which can
be farmed partially by the patients
themselves and the institution thus
made nearly self-supporting.
For a long time Dr. Fitz Gerald
has made a special study of tubercu
losis, its causes and possible cure,
and Is considered excellently fitted
scientifically and practically to ad
minister the affairs of the sanatorium.
Chief of Police Tom B. Gurdane re
