New Five-Story Building Will Cost
SI 50,000 When Completed.
WKISER, Idaho. April I. (Special.)
Welser's new Hotel Washfngton wlll
soon be finished. The walla are now
up to the top of the fifth story, and
much of the interior work on the lower
floors la completed. When done the
building will be one of the finest In
the state. The estimated cost of the
building and furnishings Is f 160.000.
Seventy-five thousand dollars of this
amount was subscribed by Welser citi
zens. The building has been leased for five
years by an experienced hotel man.
who will furnish the building at a cost
of $20,000. The hotel will bava mora
than 100 rooms. In addition to which
there will be three large store rooms.
The entire fifth story of the building
has been leased by the Welser Commer
cial Club for Its quarters. The rooms
will be fitted up by the club In a man
ner that will make them second to none
In tbe state. The contract calls for
completion of the building by Septem
ber 1. and It Is thought the hotel will
be opened to the public by January 1.
It Is most difficult to handle the social
evil and other vice problems, but at all
times I have dona as my Judgment and
conscience dictated and I leave the re
suits for othera to judge. A man oecu
pylng my position has so many things
to contend wltb that one who does not
have Intimate knowledge of affairs In a
police way has no Idea bow hard It is
to cope with vice conditions.
The social evil Is a most difficult
thins; to handle. I bava tried tokeep
disorderly houses closed at all times,
but when you do that you are bound to
scatter the Inmates to all parts of the
city. Then they will be found In var
ious places rooming-houses and when
the police attempt to secure evidence
against them upon which to base com
plaints, they tell all kinds of storle
Some will say they are working as
chambermaids and others that they are
employed In soma other capacity, and
It Is next to Impossible to convict them
Ton can't arrest them simply because
they have previously been known as
Inmates of disorderly , houses: they
plead that they have reformed and
that they are entitled to protection on
that ground. All manner of excuses
are given and It Is a most difficult
thing for the police to overcome their
statements.

Now all I can say Is that I feel a great
wrong, has been done me In this Indict
ment. I have tried to do my duty
and I don't believe a Jury will ever be
gotten together that will convict me on
the Indictment returned by the grand
Jury. I am mighty thankful that the
word will not go out that I have been
Indicted for grafting, anyway. What
ever tbe outcome of the case may be,
I shall feel that I have done my best
and confidently look forward to speedy
vindication."
' Resignation to Be Accepted.
"The Chiefs resignation will be ac
cepted," said Mayor Simon, "becauses be
offers It voluntarily and believes that
In so doing he shows the proper spirit.
He will Insist upon a speedy trial, and
will make a special appeal ' for this
to Judge Gantenbeln. I hope It will be
granted and that the Chief will be
vindicated. I cannot but feel that he
has tried to do bis duty, and I realise
that the enforcement of the laws
against vice are difficult."
Asked as to whom he will appoint In
the place of Chief Cox, the Mayor said
that he will fame Captain of Detec
tives Moore, who is the senior In rank.
Moore Long; on Force.
Captain Moore has served In the de
partment since 189J, when he became
a patrolman. In the Fall of 1899 he
was appointed patrol sergeant, serving;
In that capacity until June 1. 101. when
he waa promoted to the rank of cap
tain. He commanded various reliefs
at headquarters as e, patrol captain un-
orderly conduct and practices therein,
and for enforcing and preventing viola
tions of the laws of this state. In force
In the said city: and such duty, as afore
said, was at all times herein mentioned
enjoined by law upon the said A. M.
Cox as such public officer and Chief of
Police, as aforesaid, and had under his
command and subject to his orders, nu
merous captains, sergeants and patrol
men of police, and was vested with full
and adequate power and authority as
such public officer and police officer for
the proper and efficient performance of
such duty." '
Here the indictment Incorporates a list
of ti places which, it. is alleegd, were
allowed to run within fhe city, being
taken from the list submitted to the Jury
by Detective Maher.
Deoision to indict the Chief of Police
had not been reached by the grand Jury
at noon yesterday. A form of indict
ment had been drawn up two days be
fore, but when the Jurors took a recess
for lunoh they had, not decided upon its
disposition. While they were disposed
to take some definite action In the case,
they were unable. It Is said, to agree
what form it should take, some of the
Jurors taking the stand that It would not
be fair to make Chlet Cox "tne goat-
