YANTIS PULLS OUT
OF LOOTING CASES
OLTMPIA, Dec. 28.—The Ulf
(trincM which have been brew
ins between Attorney General
Tanner and Prosecuting Attorney
Tantls of Thunton county slnoo
the Investigation of the looting
of the atate Industrial Insurance
fund started, came to ■ head to
day when Yantla was relieved of
all responsibility in the case at
his own request.
He will not take a further
active part in the gathering of
evidence against the alleged crime
ring which has been looting state
funds.
This action comes as the re
sult of the demand made by Vum
tis that he either be taken into
the confidence of the attorney
general who Is handling the pros
ecution or that he be relieved of
further responsibility.
Friendly to (Governor.
The break Is not one between
Yantts and Gov. Lister, but only
in the methods which have been
followed in handling the case.

HOW TO
DODGE
GRIPPE
Tacoma, like other cities
throughout the United States, lias
tbe grip. And as a result of the
nation-wide epidemic, a new code
of physical care rules has sprung
Into existence. It is being en
dorsed everywhere.
Here's the code:
Don't kiss anybody.
Kat little.
Don't get net feet.
Keep out of stuffy rooms
Mid c*ra.
Accommodate clothing to
weatlier change*, if posHihlc.
Passengers on Tacoma -u-. .1
cars are responsible for the stuffy
condition, according to conduc
tors. The street car company
has a rule demanding that con
ductors open transoms frequent
ly to permit fresh air to sweep
through the cars.
Whenever a conductor attempts
to open a transom these cold
days, however, he meets with
such a storm of protest from half
the passengers that he is forced
to close it again.
Especially is this true of the
Pacific Traction and other subur
ban cars, which are heated by
electricity.
FIRE SWEEPS
THREE HOMES
The home of Nick Naruca, 14OS
14th street, was burned to the
ground and adjoining houses, at
HOG and 1410 14th street, were
badly damaged by fire at 1)
o'clock last night. One of the
dwellings was vacant and all
were unoccupied when the fire
broke out.
Because of a high wind, fire
men confined their attention to
having adjoining property. The
loss will not exceed $1,000.

Although the Thurston county
prosecutor would naturally be the
official to have charge of the In
vestigation, Gov. Lister, who as
sumed personal direction, turned
the whole case over to Attorney
General Tanner at the outset.

Since then, Yantls claims he
has been used by Tanner to per
form duties objectionable to bin,
such as filing informations when
he has not been lnrormed of the
evidence In the hands of the state
investigators.
If Yantia, as prosecutor of
'I'll 11 rston county, has to try the
looting cases, a legal tnlx-up is
promised.
Yantls is confident that Gov.
Lister will be successful in run
ning down the looters In the end,
but objects to the methods that
are being used by the attorney
general.
He will probably place tlio
whole matter before the governor
with his protest.
BRITISH
CABINET
TOTTERS
LONDON, Pec. 28—The Brit
ish cabinet faced the greatest in
ternal crisis since the beginning
of the war when it met today to
consider the momentous question
of conscription.
It is rumored that several of
the members will resign unless
some form of compulsion is
agreed upon. It'ls also said that
Premier Asquith and possibly
Earl Grey will quit if the ;>re
conscrlptlonists win.
In that case Lloyd George will
probably be premier.
Parliament will meet tonight
following the cabinet session. It
is possible that the most serious
charges which have been made
will be directed against the Dnr
danelles and Balkans campaigns.
