FIGHT ON MAYOR Moral Crusade in Seattle Is a-Persona! War, IT HAS REACHED FEVER HEAT &? Gamble.rs Bein? Daily Raided and as Often Opening "Dp Again Merrs- papers Arc Taking; Active Part in the Struggle. x SEATTLE; Wash., April 14. The moral crusade In this city, has reached fever -heat. The gambling-house proprietors were arrested, several times lasV-week, and each time they "reopened for business. Their policy, apparently, Is to tire out the opposition. The moral crusade has more the air of a bitter light between opposing Republi can factious than anything else. The wide-open policy has become inseparably identified with Mayor Humes, through" the fact that he boldly and successfully cham pioned It In two municipal campaigns. On the other hand, the moral crusaders are being led in their light by the Post-Intet-llgencer, the organ of ex-Senator Wilson. Last Spring, when Mayor Humes was re-elected, the Post-Intelligencer support ed him. Immediately thereafter the May or sought to obtain the Republican nomi nation for Governor, In which he was supported by the Ankeny faction in state politics The Wilson faction brought out J, M. Frlnk, who was nominated. The Frink-Humes; fight was one of the bitterest in the history of the 'state. There is little doubt that the ..Humes influence was thrown against Mr. Fflnk and. for Gov ernor Rogers, the Democratic nominee, in the campaign which followed. Cer tainly the allied liquor Interests, not only of Seattle, but of the state were for Governor Rogers. Mayor Humes himself made a speech In -the campaign in which he bitterly attacked the Post-Intelligencer and which indirectly cost Mr. Frlnk many rotes. Open TVar Is Declared. Immediately after the election of Gov ernor Rogers, the Post-Intelligencer be gan a hot fight on the Humes admin istration. It attacked the manner in which the state laws relative to liquor selling and gambling were being enforced, de clared crime was rampant, and the Humes administration was winking at vice. It succeeded in having an ordi nance passed forbidding side or rear en trances po saloons. Mayor Humes and Chief of Police Meredith flatly refused to enforce it. The ' Post-Intelligencer kept up its light for several weeks, when a sensational In cident occurred. The,, paper In Its war on "the Mayor had been seconded by the Weekly Republican, edited by H. R. Gay- ton, 9. coloredmanA.,Ciyton,5.aittacIts;oi.. Jayor" umsrnd4Iefi5Mqredlt1ave been verv 'bitter': arid culminated wKen hK, 1 opehly Sailed AKredlth, a-, "grafter." 'This j arousea tne umei to action JuatBone iiTght he sword out a warrant for Cayton's arrest on the charge of criminal libel, and threw him In jail, held him there six hours and refused to accept surety ball. -Finally the accused maa's friends got together ?500 at 3 o'clock In the morn ing, and he was released upon Its de posit. Later Cayton was held for trial by a Justice of the Peacp. Cayton's arrest "was, the signal for in creased hostilities on the part of the Post-Intelligencer. It declared that Mere dith had committed a gross outrage In the manner of the arrest and demanded his removal. It accused him of perpetrating an Infraction on the liberty of a qjtizen, and of using his office for the gratifica tion of personal spite. Mayor Humes was unmoved, and Meredith is still doing business at the old stand. Meredith Visits the Editor. The editor of the Post-Intelligencer is Joseph Gilpin Pyle. It seems that he and Chief Meredith had never met One night during the Cayton ex citement Mr. Pyle was busy preparing a broadside, which he intended pouring Into the Police Department through the paper the next morning, when he heard somp one come Into his room. Looking up he saw a beardless, mild-looking man, ap parently about 30 years of age, and re sembling a clergyman more than anyone else. "Are you Mr. Pyle?" queried the stranger. "Yes, sir." "Well, my name is Meredith, and I'm the Chief of Police. I think thatjn this little contest for honors we should at least know each other by sight." Mr. Pyle expressed pleasure at meet ing the chief, and then "the latter con tinued: T just want to tell you I don't care what you say about me. It wor ries my wife a little, but I have stopped the paper from coming to the house, so she don't see It. Now I am ready for a fight to the finish. I further wish to notify you that you needn't send a Post Intelllgencer reporter to the police sta tion any more. The evening" papers will get what news we have to give out. It Is proper that we have this understand ing before the fight goes any farther." Meredith's remarks were said In a mild -way, and Mr. Pyle responded In turn. The latter, however. Is a vlogrous fighter himself, and Instead of quailing under Mr. Meredith's glance, he re doubled his vigor, and the fight his been hotter than ever since the visit of the chief. Meredith has made his word good, and the Police Department Is doing all In Its power to keep even the commonest happenings of the day away from the police reporter of the morning paper. Now the chief will get out of his bed at night to give the reporters for the evening papers the news. Arrests are timed so the evening papers will get them first and the hapless policeman who gives the Post-Intelligencer a story will not find himself In favor at head quarters. Despite this censorship, how ever, the Post-Intelligencer Tias been printing an immense quantity of news from police circles. The police say one or two stories of highway robbery which It has printed have been manufac tured out of whole cloth, in order to bring discredit on the department. Attitude of Other Papers. Seattle has two evening papers, the Times and Star. The Times is Demo cratic, and fought Mayor Humes' elec tion to the last ditch. Since the opposi tion of the Post-InteIHgeircep to the city administration began, however, it has maintained as neutral relations as pos sible, but its leanings have been toward the Humes-Meredith side. It has repeat edly declared that the Post-Intelligencer's ttltude was Inspired' by partisan rancor and a desire for revenge. The Star, which claims an independent attitude, illy con ceals its friendship for the Mayor and Chief of Police. One "would naturally suppose the Demo crats would benefit by 'this Republican row, but they won't. The Democratic party Is badly split. The Rogers-Turner faction is friendly to Mayor Humes. TJiis Is natural, since It is generally conceded that Mayor Humes aided in the election of Governor Rogers. The so-called James Hamilton Lewis faction of the Democracy Is antagonistic to Mayor Humes, and will undoubtedly try itt the next campaign to nominate a candidate .who will be satis factory to the moral element of the Re publican party, particularly should Humes succeed in getting the Republi can nomination. i- r It is not certain '"by any means that Humes will be a candidate for renomlnB tion. There are rumors that he fs anx ious to get out front, "under, the gun" and solace" himself with a fat Federal job. The fight whicli Is being waged upon him, however, may force him to seek vindication by running again. The sporting element hojtes this will prove true. Under Humes they have been al lowed great liberty, ..and he has been their consistent triertds in the face of strong opposition. Jl Lair and Order League. A law and order league Tvas organised In Seattle several weeks ago, and It ns now engaged In arresting the gamblers J as often as tney open ,up ior ousiness. 11 is alleged that the police department in serving warrants has been delinquent, and has not attempted to seize the valuable apparatus of the gamblers. The prosecu tions are Instituted under the city ordi nance against gambling, and Sheriff Cudl hee, after serving "ope warrant, Texpreesed a desire that the police department make arrests in city cases in the future. This It has done, but not to the satisfaction of the moral element." The gamblers are "making- a bid for pub. lie sympathy that Is not likely to profit them -much. Theyare telling a story to the effect that last week, while the raid ing was going on, an official of the Law and Order League "sent ior one of the boss gamblers, and told Jhjm if he or some of his associates would majte an affidavit that Mayor HUmes hadv received money from the gamblers, all prosecution would cease, and gambling' could go on as of 'yore; that the league was decidedly more anxious to get Mayor Humes in a tight place than it was to .close gambling. The bad feature oi this tale is that it does not even bear the earmarks of prob ability. In the. first place, even .Mayor Humes' bitterest enemfes do not accuse him of being dishonest. They believe he has allied himself with the liquor and gambling elements for political reason but the man's' reputation is too well established for apyloneHo seriously accuse him of "grafting." In the second place, the character of the men who are engaged in the moral crusade Is such as to discredit any etory like the one men tionedthey are seriously- In earnest in their desire to effect municipal reform. Some of the Mayor's political enemies might lay a trap for him, but when the boss gamblers "smoked up" this etory, they overdid the thing in laying it at the door of the Law and Order League.

Pa., April 14. The em ployes ,of the Dewees Woods plant, of the National Steel Company, held a meet ing tonight for the purpose of discussing the dismissal of several of their fellow workmen, it is said because they recently organized a .branch of the Amalgamated Association. . Several -of the mei) were discharged. On application of the em ployes 11 were reinstated except George Holloway, president of the lodge. The officials absolutely refused to reinstate him. and the employes decided to. strike. When the night shift started to work at midnight there were only about half a dozen men on hand who were willing to v.'ork. The mill started In operation with a .very few men. There has not been any trouble and It looks as though the few men at work will not be molested by the strikers. . v Telegraphers Mar Strike. WrLKESBARRE, Pa.. April 14. A meet ing of representatives of the trainmen and telegraphers employed on the northern division of the Central Railroad of New Jersey was held at Ashloy tonight. It is rumored that much dissatisfaction was ex pressed over the terms of settlement ot the threatened strike by the conference In New York. The brakemen and tel egraphers feel that their Interests have been sacrificed for the benefit of some other employes, the engineers In particu lar. Unless the telegraphers receive some concessions from the railroad officials this week, the leaders say there will be a strike In which they will be joined by the brakemen. The trainmen and ope rators will take another vote on the situ ation. BOO Carpenters to Go Out Today. MINNEAPOLIS, April, 14.

CATHOLIC CHURCH DEDICATED Handsome Toledo, O., Edifice Arch bishop Ireland Officiated. TOLEDO, O., April 14. Archbishop Ire land, of St, Paul assisted by Bishop Horstmanh, of Cleveland; Bishop Foley, of Detroit, and about 200 prominent Cath olic clergymen from all parts of the United States, today dedicated St Patrick's Church, said to be one St the handsomest church buildings in the country. The church will stand as a monument to Fa ther Hannan, who, though 75 years of age, did the architectural work and su perintended the entire construction. The church cost $200,000. Archbishop Ireland took as his text, "Jesus Christ, the same today, yesterday, and forever." His sermon was a defense of Christianity. In conclusion, he said: "Therefore, let us build him Christian temples. Let us invite men Into the sanc tuaries. Let us carry heaven s Inspiration into the mart, the workshop and foundry. We must have forges and factories and industries, but these have no, moral health of themselves. Colleges, schools and libra ries .will help us to know, but this Is not all. Potent armies and navies will win us victories" on bloody fields, but these will notfglve us moral health and probity. Plans for moral reform must fall If based upon material things.

Prlnce'Chlng was Informed that the Emperor's "wishes would be respected by the foreign representatives, and every courtesy shown him. It was pointed out to the Chinese plenipotentiary that the Emperor's return was of the highest im portance, as affecting the maintenance of the integrity of the Chinese Empire; and that he should come accompanied by ev ery available soldier, by at , least 20.0&S men, If possible. These troops. It was further contended by the Japanese Min ister, must be sent Into Manchuria, as the Russians reported great disturbances there, and it was not fight that the task of quelling the trouble should be thrown upon the shoulders of one nation. Final ly, Prince Chins was assured that if the 20,000 Chinese troops could not suppress the disorders in Manchuria, other powers would send an international force to co operate with China, which all the powers regard as a friendly power. No reply having been received to this communica tion, LI Hung Chang was today notified to the same effect, and told that Emperor Kwang Hsu must give an immediate an swer.

Suggestion That It Be Spent in 'De veloping: China. NEW YORK, April 14. H. T. Bosman, of Hong Kong, accompanied by his wife and servants,' Is in the city. At home, Mr. Bosman fs better known as Mr. Ho Tung. He Is one of the leading merchants of his native city, as well as orfe of Its most extensive property-owners. Mr. Bosman. though an Oriental, Is a British subject and a Justice of the Peace In His Majesty's service. He is deeply In terested In the trend of events politically In the far East To a reporter, .in. an In terview, ne said 1 " "I believe this Is the golden opportunity for the Introduction of Western Ideas Into the Flowery Kingdom, and the apparent disagreement of the powers upon the amount of indemnity to be paid for the Boxer disturbances should lead-to gonie sort of compromise, having for Its object the development of undeveloped Asia, rather than the levying ot a mere mon etary fine, which could be raised by addi tional taxation, and in the end, perhaps, leave the real situation of the country unchanged. I have a plan In mind which I think Is worthy of the attention of the diplomats, because I believe It would have a civilizing influence. It is this: Let the powers agree upon the amount of indem nity to be paid, and contract among them selves and with the Pekln Government the entire sum, say. $200,000,000, which shall be used for building Tallroads and other internal Improvements in China, under the Joint control of the powers, to be operated by them until the full amount of the Investment Is returned, and until China Is In a position to become, by pur chase, the sole owner of the improve ments. Railroads will do more to enlarge the prospects of China than any one oth er agency. They will cause the people of the interior to travel and to acquire that breadth of view which comes- from, con tact with the world. Now China Is in great need of railroads, while the rest of the world is clamoring for broader trade facilities. The situation seems to have been created for reciprocal negotiations along a certain line. Railroads could be built by the powers on the basis of a 3 or i per cent cumulative interest-bearing indemnity bond until the claims of all the powers are paid. In after years a chance could be given China to acquire the properties out of the net earnings, after the indemnity had been provided for. Any surplus, and I believe there would be a surplus, could beiueed to build more rail roads. By that time, the Chinese prob lem would have been solved." MINISTERS ARE CRITICISED. Meeting; of ovrers. Postponed for Most Trivial Causes. PEKIN. April 14. The conduct of the Ministers of the powers over the negotia tions with the Chinese plenipotentiaries causes much adverse comment among the military authorities. Their dilatory tac tics have prevented what might have been accomplished two months ago. Even now the meetings of the Ministers are post poned for the most trivial causes. For example, the desire of one Minister to go HMtMMHMHMHHMHt --- -- oot o on a picnic to the tombs of the Ming- dy nastv Drevented the holdlnir of a mcet- J ing for a number of days. Then M. de . Glers and other Ministers Insisted upon J celebrating Easter, and thus a week was 1 consumed. In a third case, a visit by t one Minister to Tien Tsln held up the ne gotiations ior iour aays. xnese are iair Illustrations of what has been almost con tinuous since the beginning. Missionary Statements Exaggerated. PEKIN. April 14 Prince Chlng says all hfu reports go to show that the mission 1 ary statements regarding a rebellion In j Mongolia are not supported by the facts. 1 Neither does he believe that the rebellion of General Tung Fuh "Slang amounts- to much. "It Is the object of certain ele j ments," he asserts, "to make It seem, that China Is In a condition of constant broil, J rendering It unsafe for the foreign troops to be withdrawn. Those who have this 1 in view will magnify a village quarrel Into a big rebellion. The missionaries, naturally timid, take these reports In good faith." CONFERENCE OF TAXATION. Several Governors Have 'Named Dele Bates Object of Meeting. CHICAGO, April 14. The Governors of the various states are beginning to an nounce their appointments of delegates to attend the conference of taxation, called to meet at Buffalo. May 23 and 24, by the National Civic Federation. At the headquarters, notice of the appointment of the delegations has been received from the Governors of -Missouri, Maine and Montana. The call for the conference Is signed by leading economists, tax experts and public men representing all portions of the country and all Interests. The let ter of Invitation says: "For many decades the states have been building up independent systems of tax ation without reference to each other, un til now we have a st3te of affairs bor dering on chaos, wher&'each sta-tjj is prac- uuuiiy iiouuun nturiy every uuier siaie. Some property is taxed three or four times, while other property Is not taxed at all. Corporate activity has largely changed the character of Individual In vestments. Industry has overstepped the boundaries of any one state, and commer cial Interests are no longer confined to mere local limits. This conference will be the first attempt In this country to work out some uniform principles. It Is not expected to settle any of the problems In the two days' discussion, but it will be a beginning, and may result Inp the ap pointment of a permanent committee to work out some basis for future action." The Aliever Failure Explained. MEXICO CITY, April 14. The failure of D. Aliever & Co., large French dry goods merchants here, is partly due to the money stringency. The firm was also en gaged In cotton manufacturing. The lia bilities are said to be between $500,000 and $900,000. Bankers say the concern will probably be able to pay 90 cents on the dollar. The principal creditors are the National Bank of Mexico, the Bank of London and Mexico, the Central Bank of the State of Mexico and the City of Lon don, and a large dry goods house. FIRED FROMAinBUSi Three Idaho Men Assault Two Deputy Sheriffs. ONE OF FORMER WAS KILLED Trouble No Donbt Dne to Abolitions of Martial lia-rr, as Threats of Violence Had Been Made Against Officers. WALLACE. Idaho. April 14.-Jack' Pow ell, In an attempt to kill a Deputy Sheriff met his own death last night at MuIIan. Three men fired from ambush at two Deputy Sheriffs, wounding Deputy James Rose twice In the right arm. and once in the right thigh. Deputy Williams fired six or seven, shots In the direction of the flashes, killing Powell. The shooting occurred just before midnight. Powell was seen running away afterward. Hla body was not found until this morning. Threats had been made that with the abolition of martial law In the, Coeur d'Alenes all who served as officers under It would be "done up." The- officers have not ,gone out singly after night. LOOKING FOR SHERIFF. Mnllan Miners Said to Be Bent on Murder. SPOKANE, April 14. At midnight last night a prominent mining, man. deeply Interested In Coeur d'Alene conditions from the mineowners' standpoint, who had come from Wallace, stated that everything was quiet at Mullan at 1:20 this afternoon. Telephone communication between Mullan and the other Coeur d'Alene towns closes at 2 o'clock Sun. days. Another mining man with company lr terests at Mullan stated that Mullan miners were said to be looking for Sher iff Sutherland with murderous Intent thl3 evening. The story told bjr this man was as fol lows: "Deputy Sheriff Rose, coming up the streets of Mullan late Saturday night, was flred on from behind by a gang. Rose was hit in the back and shoulder. In- the morning it was discovered that one of them had been killed. The dead man Is supposed to be one of the old timers who went through the riots of ISSO. The general opinion In Wallace Is that the attempted assassination was to satisfy personal grudges. They think the? origin of the trouble was In saloon or gambling quarrels. The affair Is- not con sidered the precursor of organized vio lence." -R fHf-BW$--A TRAN: Two "Women and One Man- Killed. Another Injured". WILKESBARRE. Pa., April 14.
