Vnproved Charge 'Would Aronse Pro tests Elsewhere. WASHINGTON', June 8. The President lias flatly refused to accede to a demand from the citizens of Seattle, Wash., trans mitted through Senator Jones; for the removal of the 25th Infantry (colored) be cause & soldier is accused of attacking; a white woman. The reason for the President's action is contained in the following statement is sued by Secretary Dickinson: "Senator Jones, of Washington, pre sented to the President this morning a telegram from S. S. Stoiner, chairman of a mass meeting held near Fort Lan-ton, Btating that a member of the negro regi ment there had committed an outrage and demanding the Immediate transfer of the 25th Regiment. "The President stated that the request could not be .complied with; that if any members of the regiment had violated the law, they should be apprehended and turned over to the local authorities for punishment. The United States troops were to be stationed in the United States and it was the business of the War De partment to see that they made as little disturbance as possible, but to move them on unproven charges would be merely to Impose them upon another community and might arouse a protest from such com munity. "The Secretary of War sent word to the commanding officer at Fort Lawton, directing prompt and complete investiga tion, confinement of offenders and deten tion of witnesses, if belonging to his command, and that In view of the state of feeling reported, hlB command should be confined strictly to the reservation, pending complete Investigation. An im mediate report was ordered." BLEDSER JUKES COJTFESSION Xegro Soldier Pleads That He Be Spared Public Trial. SEATTLE. Wash., June 8. Speclal. Sledser, the negro soldier accused of attacking a white woman near Fort Law ton, broke down today and made a full confession to the police at noon today. He said he did not realize what he was doing when he entered Mrs. Redding's house. He drank some whisky at the post, then went to a brewery in Interbay and drank a gallon of beer, and after that was in a mood for any wickedness. Bledser said that no other soldier should srare the blame. He begged to be permitted to plead guilty and be sen tenced, and be spared a public trial. Lieutenant-Colonel S. W. Miller, after hearing read the dispatch from Wash ington that the President refused to re move the negro soldiers, said that he could not discuss it. He continued: "No report has been made from Fort Lawton to Washington concerning the complaints against the soldiers, and none has been called for. Private Nathaniel Bledser, accused of attacking a woman, has been turned over to civil authorities for trial." Mayor Hiram C. Pill expressed regret when he learned of President Taft's re fusal to remove the negro soldiers. The Mayor at once ordered 60 emergency po licemen placed in the Fort Lawton dis trict, and the City Council will be asked to authorize the addition of these police men to the permanent force. The Mayor also ordered the closing of the negro resorts near the Fort where negro soldiers have obtained liquor. The police today closed the most notorious one of these places, whose mistress had been threatened with violence by the white neighbors. Further representations will be made to President Taft. Nine other offenses against women have occurred, and evi dence is being collected by the citizens who are at the head of the agitation to have the troops moved. This afternoon I. M. Howell, Secretary of State, who is Acting Governor in the absence of Governor Hay, is on his way to Seattle to meet the Interbay people to discuss what shall be done. FORT IiOGAX AVAXTS XEGROES Petition to President Prepared, Asking for Lawton Tpoops. DENVER, June 8. Apparently the citizens of Fort Logan are willing to take the Twenty-fifth United States In fantry, now stationed at Fort Lawton. and which citizens of Seattle are trying to have sent elsewhere. A petition is being circulated at Fort IiORan to be presented to President Taft asking to have the colored troops sent to Fort Logan. The explanation is made that Fort Logan has proved dis appointing; as a recruiting station, and residents of the military post are anxious to have a full infantry regi ment at the post once more. Those favoring the petition assert that colored troops have behaved satis factorily at Fort Logan in the past, and it is believed that the residents there can handle them. KECUO CANNOT BE EJECTED Buys Lot in Exclusive District, and Court Lets Hlra Stay. OLYMPIA, Wash., June 8. (Special.) A negro who bought a lot in one of Seat tle's exclusive residence sections cannot be ejected is the decision of the State Su preme Court. The. negro secured an assignment of a contract of sale Issued for a lot to a white woman and when the negro began erecting his home a wild protest was raised by the neighbors. The company sought to cancel the contract, alleging the assignment had been without its con sent, but the Supreme Court says that the contention is without merit, as the original purchaser could have paid up on the contract and then have deeded the property to the negro.

TARGET FOR MANY BLOWS Xelson Is Disarmed AYlien Irate Owner of Dog Cuts Open His Threatening Weapon Gloomi ness Is Not Wondered At. VANCOUVER, Wash., June 8. (Spe cial.) Stormed by shouts and yells, while dog and cow fell into his posses sion and later Into the city pound. Gloomy Gus Nelson, official dogcatcher, has displayed exceptional courage, te nacity and perseverance. The unusual experiences he has undergone during the, past three months would be inspira tion to those seeking commissions in the regular Army. Gloomy Gus, who seldom If ever smiles, has been' the target of brick bats, epithets, dlshpans full of scalding hot water, the bites of dogs, the scratches of cats, shots of irate citizens and chunks of coal, but he ever keeps his temper. He Enforces Law. He enforces the law about compelling owners of dogs to put license tags on them and keeps the cows off of the street. But in doing so he does occa sionally make a mistake. Yesterday he was looking at Albert Madsen's dog to see if It wore a tag, and as the hair on the animal's neck was so long he had difficulty. Madsen appeared, and seeing the dogcatcher with his pet, attacked him. Gloomy Gus drew his "black jack," with which to defend himself. Madsen took his knife and cut oft the end of the "black: Jack," unarming Gloomy Gus. Madsen took his dog and departed. Gus Is Unpopular. The hand of every man is turned against Gloomy Gus, because he does his duty. He has collected the dog license for over 450 dogs this year, by far the best record ever made in Van couver. Last! night he was standing in front of the Vancouver Hotel when a man who knew who" he was attacked him. knocking him down. Two policemen were upstairs and at the call of Gus they came down. The assailant disap peared around the corner with two bul lets whistling after him. His hat was left on the corner and waa recognized by the officers and a warrant for his arrest was sworn out today. His name is William Fowler. Star Is Defended. Recently Gloomy Gus was forced to fight for his star, when he was at tacked by two men, a soldier and a civilian. The soldier was discharged from the Army and the civilian spent two weeks on the street with a broom and shovel. In that encounter, Gloomy Gus was knocked down and dragged out and nearly killed, but he recovered and the indomitable courage he pos sesses wavered not. Several times he has attempted to catch dogs at houses and has been greeted with showers of hot water. Once he caught 11 cows eating the green grass off of the public commons, so he "arrested" them and attempted to take them to the city pound, with the reward of $11, all at one fell swoop, loomed up before him. The day was hot. the cows were unruly, but acting as his own shepherd dog, he finally got the dairy herd almost to the pound. The owner, missing his cows, went at once to the police station and notified Chief secrlst. Gloomy Gus was forced to drive the cows back because they had been pasturing on railroad ground and permission had been obtained. Tabernacle Finances Closed Up. The general committee of the East Side churches which handled the union meet ings held in the Hawthorne Park taber nacle has closed up the finances of the movement, paying all debts and- turning over the building to the ministerial com pany formed to retain the tabernacle for a year. The tabernacle cost $1600, cur rent expenses were $1200 and the evange lists. Rev. Herbert C. Hart and Rev. A. S. Magann, received the free-will offering of $1500 at the conclusion of the meetings, making the totxU sum raised $4300. Rev. Clarence True' Wilson, of Centenary Methodist Church, la president, and Rev. William Parsonsi of the Third Presby terian Church, vice-president, of the company which has taken over the build ing. It will be held for mass meetings of every sort. Dr. Parsons' said that political parties may use the building, if desired, the final object being to establish a general assembly hall on the East Side. M'KINLEY'S TOP SCALED TWO TRIPS ARE MADE TO SUM MIT BY PARTY OP THREE. Flag Left on Mountain by Tom Lloyd Is Easily Found First Trip Takes Month. FAIRBANKS, Alaska, June 8. Pete Anderson, W. R. Taylor and Charles McGonnigle, who were with Tom Lloyd when he reached the summit -of Mount McKlnley, April 3, arrived at Fairbanks today with the announcement that they climbed the mountain a second time, reaching the summit May 17. They cor roborate in every detal the story of ine nrst ascent as told by Lloyd. These men did not return to Fair banks with Lloyd in April, but re mained at Katsihna in the foothills of the mountains. At the request of Lloyd they retraced their steps up the moun tainside to take more photographs to be used as proofs to be submitted to the committee of the Order of Pioneers of Alaska, appointed to investigate Lloyd's story. It took the men a month to attain the summit over the trail staked by the party on the first ascent. Upon reaching" the summit May 17 they found the flag left there six weeks before-intact and the flagstaff firmly planted In the rocks that had been plied around It. The climbers left provisions in camps along the trail for use of any party that wishes to verify their story by following the route taken by them. Prospectors just returning from the vicinity of Mount McKinley bring ad ditional verifications of the stories told by Lloyd and his associates. They say that the flag is plainly visible from the foothills. The Northern Commer cial Company's agent at Kuskokwim says that the flag on the summit of Mount McKinley Is also visible from that side of the mountain.
