SEATTLE MAYOR IS -
CLOSING THE LID
Police Are Ordered to
Clean Up the Town.
SUNDAY CLOSING IS COMING

Soda Fountains.

SEATTLE, Wash., May 9. (Special.)
"I am going to make Seattle a. clean
city."
Mayor William Hickman Moore said (
thai, and he offered it in explanation
'..f the sweeping orders he has given
his police department to "clean up the
town." It summarizes the policy that
the Mayor has declared he will follow.
It ought not 10 be said he Mayor has
been forced Into the position by the
ministerial cry for reform. There was
smb. an' outcry at the time he was
inducted into office, but the Mayor
found a means of being invited to pre
side when tne ministers held .a public
meeting to demand civic Reform, and
he told them as plainly as possible that
he did not want to byYnterfered with.
He curtly Insisted ''that reformmust
tome by plecemntl, and he declined to
Indorse the wholesale programme of
the clergy
But tV Mayor found opportunities
of cleaning up infractions of law the
mlp-tsterial crusade had ignored. In
trn he forgot about the important de-iir-md
!he clergy made for a "closed
Sunday." ' '
Mayor Moore says he is too busy to
look up the law regarding Sunday
closing. He insists that the police de
partment Is busied with immediate re
forms and that Sunday closing is a
problem of the future. Conceding all
this, the fact that the ministerial cru
sudc was designed to drive the Mayor
hi'.s had a great deal to do with the
u urcrowding of the police department
and the rush of duty that makes it
impossible to investigate Sunday con
dition. Rounders Expect the Blow.
It is pretty certain that Seattle will
be shut up tight some Sunday. The
rounders expect the blow to fall at
.-my time. The saloon men pretend an
Indifference that, is pot real, and the
ton n Is expecting something to be
done soon.
.Mitt- all Sunday closing is not an
immediate threat. It will come, no
doubt. But it is not clear Mayor
Moore's sympathies with the closed
ton 11 movement extend that far. He
nas clear iedas of civic virtue that do
not include the enforcemetn of her so
eulled blue laws, and the Sunday reg
ulation has a place in that category.
If the lid is not pressed clear down
and clamped tight until late Fall or
Winter, it should surprise no one. Just
about the time the Legislature con
venes and the public resentment has
time to express itself before the as
sembly of the lawmakers there may
he .1 complete shutdown. If that pro
gramme is adopted, and there is a clear
Intimation it is in contemplation, it
will be accepted to bring home the
sentiinont of the public while the Leg
islature s in session. If there should
be modification of the code, the public
will bo reminded forcibly of the fact.
Seattle may be compelled to show the
Hate at a time the state can compre
hend and remember what all the crim
inal code really means.
Hard Drinks at Soda Fountains.
Mayor Moore's latest order is the one
that forbids the sale of intoxicants at
Soda fountains. Yesterday a copy of
the menu at one of the largest refresh
ment houses frequented by women
came out with the blue pencil, indi
cating the effect of the Mayor's order.
Until this menu was discovered no
one really comprehended what the soda
fountain pretended to serve as tem
perance resorts. Here is a list of 23
drinks, or light refreshments, which
downtown fashionable fountain resorts
have been serving and which the
-Mayor declares shall only be provided
hereafter at saloons:
Snowball.
Champagne Freeze.
Fruit Punch.
Mint Julep.
F.gg Nog.
Champagne Frozen
Punch.
Kentucky Frapp.
"Blueberry Cocktail.
Frosen Claret Punch.
Itaspberry Cocktail. Frosen Roman Punch,
Louisville Punch. New York Frozen
Claret Punch. Punch.
Grenadine. Punch. Frozen Creme da
Creme de Menthc. Menthe.
Claret Float. Frozen Est Nogg.
Egg Claret. Frozen Sherry Punch.
Egg Sherry. Claret Lemonade.
In a few of the drinks cancelled as
a result of the Mayor's order a rounder
:-ould recognize no symptom of liquors.
But it was probable a touch was given,
for the menu was hastily revised and
the li3t given wiped off the ellgibles.
Orders Are Carried. Out.
There is one startling feature of the
Mayor's crusade his orders are real
and are obeyed. Chief of Police Wap
oenstein, the- old Portland detective,
has demanded of his force the rigid
'arcement of all the new decrees.
and Chief Wappenstein is policeman
enough to know whether they are
obeyed. .
The Mayor ordered the saloons to
close at 1 A. M. daily. A lone proprie
tor evaded the order, was arrested im
mediately, and in court pleaded as his
only means of escape that he had only
given a drink to a "swamper," or the
man who cleans out his house. That
was the only infraction of the law
after the police order went into effect.
The order threatens to -ruin the sa
loons in the restricted district, but
there is not even the popular back
door subterfuge permitted to save
them. Even the dancehalls, in which
temperance drinks only are served,
must close at 1 o'clock. And the
dancehalls are quiet on Sundays.
Police officers were instructed to
drive vagrants out of town. In those
dives where chairwarmers hovered
about constantly there is a deserted
appearance that indicates the com
pleteness of the crusade. The Police
Court has been thronged daily with
the scourings of the department.
Protection for the Gullible.
Fortune-tellers, spiritualists and the
class that has lived in luxuriant style
off the gullible have been compelled to
close up. One of ti e most important
results of that order was the arrest
and successful prosecution in Police
Court of a "pastor" of a Spiritualist
church, who read the future as a side
line. The pastor pastress, possibly,
for it was a "Mrs. Rev." has appealed
the case, but in the meantime fortune
telling does not insure a livelihood.
"As a side line the Police Department
has cleaned out the up-town lodging
houses and hotels. The undesirable
class has been Compelled either to
leave town or move into a restricted
district. Saloon boxes have really
been eliminated. There are "stalls,"
but they are curtalnlcss and the open
front, facing toward the center of the
room, does away with any pretense at
privacy.
Women have been compelled to keep
out of saloons, the questionable class
are ordered within their own district
to stay there. There is no gambling.
The poolrooms, raided once, are still
closed. Even the handbooks are out
of date. The Police Department itself
was shaken up.
lied Lights Are Not Scattered.
"I realize there are limitations," said
Mayor Moore of his policy. "For in
stance, I do not think I could success
fully close the places in the restricted
district without spreading that class
all over town. It is better to keep
them herded than to scatter them.
"I don't know what I shall do about
Sunday closing. There may be other
evils I will be unable to entirely abate,
but so far as possible Seattle is going
to be a clean city. I am not going to
bl fan.?t'-',,. 'r- "rnrrirn'll t of !
these orders, but i am going to insist
upon as complete observance as pos
sible of the law. Respectability is go
ing to count. I promised this thing,
and the people seemed to want it. They
are going to have it, now."
Seattle does not look much like the
town of the early Klondike days now.
Possibly when the races open next
week there may be a return, in part,
of the old gaieties, but they will be
hollow In pretense.
The wildest mining camp could not
have introduced Seattle to anything
new when the "town was right" in the
Klondike days for "getting the mon
ey." Seattle was then wide open.
There was practically no restriction on
gambling; it was a notorious fact that
confidence men infested the city; the
saloons only paid attention to the law
when a policeman was needed to eject
a disturber, and the city was catering
to vice as one of its industries.
Seattle was then debauched by its
craze to keep "the money In town."
Now the city is as quiet as a Sunday
school room in comparison. The per
fection of present-day wickedness is to
boost the price of real estate when a
railroad comes a-buying.

Miss Annie Ewlng, Oswego, Or.

While it was the original intention of
The Oregonian to award but 24 trips, one
for the successful candidate in each dis
trict, it has been found that some of the
young lady candidates who failed to be
elected are entirely too deserving to be
left behind. In most instances they were
beaten out by just a few votes, when for
months and months they have been striv
ing every energy and straining every re
source for victory. It is to be regretted
that all of the young lady contestants
and there were several hundred of them
cannot be taken along on the trip, but
that, of course, would be impossible. But
The Oregonian in expressing its appre
ciation over the remarkable interest that
has been taken in the contest from the
very beginning to the very end, did the
next best by selecting ten of the unsuc
cessful candidates who it is believed are
the most entitled to the trip.
An Unprecedented Success.
It might be said that The Oregonian
contest was an unprecedented success both
in the intense and widespread interest
exhibited by thousands of persons in the
sections of the Northwest embraced in
the scope of the contest and the tremen
dously heavy vote cast. The circulation
of The Oregonian has made substantial
gains because of the contest, and this is
one of the many reasons why The Ore
gonian wishes most kindly to thank the
candidates and their many friends.
The contest was conducted by A. L.
MAKING SEATTLE A MORAL CITY.
Mitchell, a circulation expert, who has
managed contests for other newspapers.
His plans have been followed, and it is
believed that no complaints can be made
from any quarter because of unfairness.
Absolute impartiality was shown to all of
the candidates, and The Oregonian helped
to elect none of them; they elected them
selves. The final count of the votes was
made by an election board which consisted
of judges selected by the different candi
dates. When the Trip Begins.
The members of The Oregonian party
will reach Portland upon the night of
July 3. On July 4 the young ladies will
be entertained in Portland, and the fol
lowing day the party will leave for the
coast upon the steamer T. J. Potter, of
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com
pany, where they will be entertained at
the Breakers, the largest and most popu
lar Summer resort in the Pacific North
west, which is managed by the proprie
tor, J. M. Arthur. On July 6 the party
will return to Portland, and the next
day will embark upon the "Oregonian
Special." The special train will stop only
at the larger cities, and will go to Salt
Lake before being taken to the park. A.
K. Slocum. circulation manager, and A.
L. Mitchell, contest manager of The Ore
gonian, and their wives will accompany
the young ladies upon the trip.
The trip to the coast is but one of the
many side trips that have been arranged.
All along the line the party will be treat
ed to the most pleasant surprises. Noth
ing will be left undone that would pos
sibly add to the comfort and enjoyment
of the young ladies,, and in every respect
the trip promises to be as highly success
ful as the contest itself has been. The
Oregonian is the first and only newspaper
to charter a special train for the conven
ience of the winners in a newspaper contest.
Conduct Nebraska's Trial Trip.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, June 9. A naval board of inspec
tion will go to Seattle between July 11
and 16 to conduct the trial trip of the
battleship Nebraska, building at Moran's
yards: The trial Is to be conducted on
Puget Sound.

CRAIG IV1AY GOTO
iT
Offered Position of General
Passenger Agent With
Railroad.
WOULD SUCCEED WHITNEY
Returns From the East, but Says He
Has Not Decided Whether to
Resign From O. K. &
N. and Accept.
CHICAGO, June 9. (Special.) Frank I.
Whitney, for IS years at the head of the
passenger department of the Great North
em road, has resigned, effective July 1.
It Is understood that A. L. Craig, gen
eral passenger agent of the O. R. & N.
Co., will be Mr. WThttney-s successor. Mr.
Whitney was appointed general passenger
agent of the Great Northern July 1, 1888,
and held that position until March 13.
1905, when he was made passenger traffic
manager, C. E. Stone becoming general
passenger agent.
It is understood Mr. Whitney hag re
signed, to take care of his business inter
ests, which are large. He began his rail
way career in 1881, as a clerk in the pas
senger office of the Michigan Central
road.
HE HAS NOT YET DECIDED
A. Li. Craig Is Considering Offer of
the Great "Northern.
A. L. Craig returned late last night
from an extended stay in Chicago. He
declined to discuss his rumored appoint
ment to succeed General Passenger Agent
Whitney, of the Great Northern, but the
information is regarded locally as prob
ably correct. It is believed that Mr. Craig
has the position as head of the Great
Northern passenger department under
consideration, but has not made his de
cision in the matter.
Mr. Craig is regarded as an exception
ally strong passenger official who has had
long training in the work. He stands
among the first of Western passenger men
and his selection for the responsible po
sition that he is rumored to fill will not
occasion a great deal of surprise among
those who know hia ability.
Mr. Craig received his early training in
the Northern Pacific, entering the engi
neering department of that road nearly
21 years ago. He later went to the audit
ing department and then to the passenger
offices at St. Paul. He soon became as
sistant general passenger agent for the
Northern Pacific, a- position he gave up
five years ago last February to become
general passenger agent for the O. R.
&. N.
Since he has been with the Harriman
road he has built up the department to
a splendid degree of efficiency, keeping
fully abreast of the steady growth of the
Harriman lines in the Northwest. Dur
ing Mr. Craig's stay in Portland he has
made many warm friends who will feci
real regret in seeing him leave the city.
PLANNED TO STAND PAT
Mutual Life Vice-Presidents Agreed
Not to "Peach."
NEW YORK, June 9. (Special.) The
existence of an ironclad agreement be
tween Richard A. McCurdy. ex-pres-i-dent
of the Mutual Life, and ex-Vice
President Dr. Walter R. Gillett and
Robert A. Grannis, not to inform on
one another, was admitted today by
Grannis.
Grannis was told of the probability
that the insurance grand jury would
probably return at least one Indict
ment and that in all probability an
other grand jury would be asked to
bring in at least two additional indict
ments. He was also told that Andy
Fields, the Mutual legislative agent,
and other employes of the company
were promised immunity by District
Attorney Jerome.

AMERICAN PLAYS FAIL
i
"Shore Acres," "Clarice" and "A
' "Gilded Fool" Fail In London.
IX)NDON. June 10. The closing of a
short season of "The Lion and the Mouse"
at the Duke of York's theater Friday
night and the announcement that "Shore
Acres" will be withdrawn from the Wal
dorf June 15, draws attention to the fact
that American plays for some time have
been unsuccessful in London. Among
these were William Gillette's "Clarice,"
the plot of which was laid in the South
ern States, and which was discontinued
owing to tho dialect and lack of knowl
edge of the characters portrayed.
Even "A Gilded Fool." which Nat C.
Goodwin preeented for the first time here,
as well as his revival of "An American
Citizen," which was a success some years
ago, failed.

CHICAGO. June 9. (Special.) Labor na
come out In no uncertain terms for 'Wil
liam Jennings Bryan for President. The
impetus the Bryan boom has been given
in Illinois, as in other states, was accel
erated when the question of the method
of indorsement of Bryan as a Presidential
candidate was taken up in the Council of
Building Trades Representatives. Speeches
were made by half a dozen representative
leaders of the labor movement hi Chicago,
unanimously in favor of some formal ac
tion for Bryan. There was no dissenting
voice. It was declared that practically
the entire membership of 50.000 or more
organized skilled workmen in the building
trades would take formal action indorf,
the candidacy of Bryan. "
Every Man for Bryan.
The sentiment expressed by building
trades workmen in the last few days,
since the whirlwind of the Bryan boom
swept over Illinois and Chicago, it was
asserted, was to a man in favor of the
Nebraskan. The Chicago Federation of
Labor shows signs of breaking before the
Bryan onslaught. It is not improbable
that many leaders in that organization,
will become open advocates of the Bryan
movement,
Hearst Papers Ignore Boom.
Chicago Democrats have been surprised
at the failure of W. R. Hearst's newspa
pers tlie American and Examiner which
pose as Democratic organs, to print tho
news of the recent Democratic conven
tions at whlcn William J. Bryan was en
thusiastically indorsed for President in
1908. Not only have those papers failed
to show the interest In this Democratic
movement which would belit Democratic
newspapers, but they have failed to accord
it even the attention due as a matter of
ordinary news. Democrats who know any
thing about the enthusiastic reception
given Bryan's name in the conventions
of Missouri, Arkansas, Indiana and South
Dakota, or of Henry Watterson's praise,
or of "Big Tim" Sullivan's assurance of
Tammany support, have not learned it
from Mr. Hearst's publications.
By Orders From Headquarters.
Investigation into the cause of this
has been made by several Democrat."
and it has been learned that news of
Mr. Bryan's boom was omitted from
the American and Examiner, not be
cause they were "scooped." The papers
had the news, but it was barred, It
is said, from their columns by an order
direct from W. R. Hearst, who had
instructed his editors that Mr. Bryan's
name should not appear in his news
papers under any circumstances.
That such an order should be issued
and persisted in despite the huge pro
portions of the Bryan wave that Is
sweeping through the party is caus
ing much comment. It is supposed
that Mr. Hearst sees in Mr. Bryan's
popularity an obstacle to the ambition
on which he spent so much money in
1904, and that he hopes, by keeping
Bryan's name out of the Hearst news
papers, to doom the Nebraskan to
obscurity.
HEARST AND MURPHY ALLIED
Tammany Chief Will Aid Independ
ent to Become Governor.
NEW YORK. June 9. (Special.)
Disturbing stories of a Hearst-Murphy
alliance, unmistakably offensive as
well as defensive, served to excite the
Tammany leaders today. From many
different sources reports came that
Charles F. Murphy had reached a basis
of agreement with Hearst, by which
he was to receive the assistance of
the Hearst organization for his dis
trict leaders at the coming primary
fights, and that in return he was to
deliver 105 New York delegates to the
state convention instructed for Hearst.
Some of the Hearst people ventured
to go a step further and suggest that,
following his election as Governor,
which they conceded, Hearst would at
once remove Mayor MoClellan. Such
removal would, of course, tend to
change the balance of patronage, for
McGowan, president of the Board of
Alderman, is a McClellan man, .and
he would naturally hesitate to court
removal.
