JUDGE BELL GUTS IN Orders Lower-Floor Games to Quit; They Don't. POLICE DO NOT OBEY KIM 'Blrr FoHr" Wants to Cmxh Small Gamblers in the New Tenderloin, and the Facts a to the Situa tion May Come to Light. SEATTLE, Nov. 23. (Speclal.)-Seattle undoubtedly faces tho worst crista in her political history. Developments 'in the gambling war started here three days ago are momentarily expected. They will bring to the front the facts regarding the organization and work of the gamblers' ring, with the probabilities that a grand Jury will probe deep into the muddy pool and drag therefrom facts that will startle the people of the state. Judge Bell's demands made on the Chief of Police that all ground-floor gambling cease In the new tenderloin district was a sensation in Itself. It was made some weeks ago, but the facts were kept abso lutely secret until Wednesday morning. Judge Bell is a young man, elected to the Superior Court in 1900, and so far as is known never represented -any of the dif ferent factions among the gamblers. His conduct In going outside of his court room to dabble in the dirty strcamybt tenderloin politics Is puzzling to his friends, who figure that the Judge has experienced the wisdom of the trits say ing that you can't handle pitch without getting your hand3 soiled. But following the sensational Incident Just mentioned, ccme a conference be tween Judge Bell and Mayor Humes, and then thc.lattfr's hasty exit fyom the city under tho gutee of a stay with friends in the country over -ThaTjlrsgivrngr"ln the Mayor's absdhce, the. "little gamblers," who, have swarmed info the new tender loin district, like flies around a, barrel of molasses, got together, hired a lawyer and immediately threatened 4hc chief with ,a grand jury unless the order issued by the police cl6slng the grqund-floor games be Immediately rescinded. This move on the part of the faction of gamblers' oppceed to the "Big Four," or tho old gamblers' rlngr was an adroit and an effective one, as. It had the desired effect. The boss .gamblers, satisfied that Judge Bell's threat of a grand jury would settle the matter In their favor for good and all, went home Wednesday night pre pared to enjoy Thanksgiving In their own way. The very next day, however, the police handed back to the New Tenderloin houses the paraphernalia they had seized, and things are now going on as before. The grand Jury club fa a thing that can be used two ways, as has now been Illus trated In Seattle. The remarkable part of it all Is that the attorneys representing rival rings In. the gambling business with equal nerve and sangfroid make the authorities believe that they can sum mon the power of the courts at will to en force their demands. Thus the courts are made an Instrument for the rival factions In their attacks on each other. This queer condition of things can only be accounted for in one way, and that, is the universal public scntim'ent which ex ists here that a grand Jury should be called and the political and municipal at mosphere clarified. The police department haa been put, through Mayor Humes' consent, 1n the trying and unusual posi tion of being used to permit one faction of gamblers to ply their nefarious trade and forco another to walk the streets, minus meal tickets, diamonds and cash. Tho patronage . of the police department, of 'which Chief Sullivan Is the head, has been, extended to the old gamblers' ring, including George L'ADbe, "Jap" Hols Ington, "Blanche Kennedy," Hawley Cole man and David Argyle, the combination owning four large establishments in the business district immediately south of Yeeler way. This district' was formerly filled with dives of all klnd3; but the de mand for room for legitimate business, and especially of wholesale houses, forced the city to pave the -streeta with brick, and now the administration Is pledged to weed out the haunts of vice in the district.- Many such places have already been moved south to the tide flats in the district dubbed the "New Tenderloin," where many cheap frame buildings have been erected in the past six months, in habited by the worst kind of den3. The old gamblers' ring jef used to move their houses to the new district and were protected against the sentiment of the wholesale business men in their tenure of the up-town buildings by the police depart ment. Of course the Imputation came naturally that there was a consideration for this protection, and now that the gamblers' combine has apparently started war against the new joints, people gen erally are more than willing that in the clash of interest a grand jury shall be called and the whole facts brought forth in a searching inquiry.' The police de partment apparently does not wish the whole truth to come out, the meantime protesting that there 13 nothing that the administration has to fear from such rev elations as might be made. One significant "fact is to bo noted, in connection with this phase of the situa tion. Judge Bell and John F. Dore, who is the attorney for the gamblers' trust, are Intimate personal friends, and are seen much together. Thin hag led Deonle to say that Judge Eell acted not only out of a sense of public policy, but also pos sibly out of friendship- .for Dorl. whose clients' Interests "are'lnjurc-d by the action of the police in permitting the increase of j the cheap " gambling houses in the new Tenderloin. Surroundlrig these- establish ments are a number of "crib" houses of tho lowest and most vicious- kind. They would not be tolerated for an Instant in any. city on the Pacific Coast save Seattle. Tftcy naturally draw the log gers, miners, railroad laborers and other transient people to the lower end of town, array from the games operated by the bora gamblers' combine. This has resulted In a less of business to the members of the gamblers' trust, and hence their action. The "New Tenderloin" 13 a thing to be seen once and .remembered a lifetime. It abounds in muslc-hall3 and crlfi-houses of the most vicious type, Inhabited by women who bavo been run out of; other cities. Musip is permitted in every one of these resorts at all times of the day and night. Some of them have a stage with a vaude vljle performance. Gambling Is permitted in nearly all of them, the layout consist ing of roulette, "chuck-a-luck," craps and other games designed to catch the dimes and quartera of the wageworker3. Some of these games are practically robbing de vices, the players having absolutely no chance to w!n. The .combination, of small-fry gamblers In the New Tenderloin is headed by Scotty Ferguson, formerly a saloonkeeper at "Wellington, at the entrance to tho Great "Northern tunnel. Ferguson was once" a dishwasher in a restaurant, but amassed a fortune at Wellington during- the construction of the tunnel, conducting n saloon and gambling hell., He Is very rich and is in a position to hire as many lawyers and fight as long as any of the "boss gamblers," as L'Abbc, Argyle and Holslngton. Many of the boss gamblers are worth upwards of $200,000, so ihe fight which everyone agrees has started, Is like ly to be a long and bitter one. The calling of a grand Jury will Illcely mean the suspension of gambling In Seattle for a long time..

Gag Rule Fought in ' Reichstag. ALL OVER THE NEW TARIFF Vice-President Has to Sus pend the Sitting, MEMBERS BANDY BAD .NAMES tho members of the Socialist party again stormed" the 1'rfeslder.t's tribune, wildly shouting. Some among them addressed Herr Bachcint "You rascal; you dog." Vice-President Eucslng, finding hlmsolf powerless in the face or the howling cy clone, suspended the session for half -an hour. . t Uaon the resumption of the sitting: at 7 o'clock Wlce-Pre3ldent Bueslng expressed his profound- regret at the unfortunate, outrageous 3cencs of disorder which had occurred in the Reichstag-for the first timo In .Its history." He admonished the members, to exercise control over themselves, and -asked them. to vacate tho space In front of the Presi dent's chair. Including the tribune steps, which were thickly crowded. Herr Bachem then attempted to resume his speech, but the Socialists raised such an uproar that he had to discontinue. Herr Singer then took the floor, and said that Herr Bachem had insulted mo3t deeply " the Socialist party. He had struck, continued the speaker, from ambush, and he. should name the man to whom he alluded. Herr Bachem replied that after such -comment ho" would decline to"tlo: so. The House then" adjourned on motion of the Conservatives. : Overrun the Tribune, "Wildly Shott ing:, and Are Repressed' With. i Great, DiOicnlty Papers 'Com- meat on the Situation. ' ' BERLIN, Nov. ' 2S. The otormy scenes which were enacted yesterday were re newed in the Reichstag today and at one point in the proceedings the uproar j reached such a pitch that Vice-President Bueslng, who was in the chair, had to re sort to a suspenslon of the sitting, a meas ure without precedent in the Reichstag. The House was discussing, the motion of Baron von Kardoff, representing the ma porlty parties, to vote the second read ing of the tariff bill as a whole without a paragraph discussion as contemplated by the rules. The minority thus would be unable to delay the final vote for any J length of time and were furiously Indig nant at what they called a parliamentary coup d'etat, and the complete suppression of the rights of the minority. After a quiet afternoon. Dr. Bachem. of tho Center party, took the tribune, and L describing the dilatory tactics of the op position, said 'that the Freisslnise Vcreinging and the moderate Radicals were doing hodcarlers' service for the Socialists, adding: , "If you only knew what has recently 1 been said about this alliance " Herr Bachem left the sentence un finished, and the Socialists fchouted, "Out clth it.

"the" demarid that Herr Bachem should complete his sentericc. The speaker was twice called to order, but after some minutes of dis order, VIce-Fresldcnt Bueslng succeeded in quieting the uproar, saying: "No member can be compelled to say what he does not want to say." Thereupon the tumult was renewed and GERMAN PArERS' VIEWS. -1 Do Not Favor Scheme to Put Through Tariff. BERLIN, Nov. 2S. The Liberal papers today, "discussing yesterday's proceedings lii the Jelfehatag, emphasize .the gravity of Baron von Kardoff's proposal to pass the tariff bill without any discussion of the details. .Even the moderate National Zcjtung. th ofllclal organ of the National Libera! party, says: "It. 'is a parliamentary coup d'etat," and expresses amazement and Indignation to .findthe namea of the National Liberal lcaders.Dasscrman. Pasache and Settler, attached to Baron, von Kardorff's motion. The Tagcblatt and, Vosslsche Zeltun? characterize the proposition as a revolu tion. . . Baron von Kardorff's 'motion provided that- the House shall vote the bill "en blo.c," but it cmbraqes certain reductions upon the government's, figures for agri cultural implements and machinery, av eraging 15 to 25 per cent. It Is under stood that tho government has consented to the compromise, including an Increase of malting barley to four mark3, as was demanded by the Center party, and the abolition of the municipal octrois. The government also agreed to devote the sur plus revenues proceeding from the new tariff to the insurance fund for widows and orphans. Imperial Chancellor von Bulow and Home Secretary von Posadow aki have at various times pronounced, such changes In the tariff bill lnacceptable" to. the government. The indications are that, after adoption of Baron von Kar dorff's motion, some days will elapse be fore tho final vote on the second reading of the tariff bill Is reachpd. JThe Soclallsta and Radicals will attempt to graft, many amendments under the. compromise scheme, just fab dntllne-of which may -keep thcHbusq 'voting for weeks: ATvswEnavliijrtssAb.OR white". .

Extension of Portland Postoffice. DOUBLES PRESENT SPACE .Addition Will Ail Be on Sixth-Street Front. OTHER SIDES ARE UNTOUCHED Supervising Architect Outlines Plan by Which Federal Oillclnls WfH Be Given Ample Space for Business. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Nov. 23. It is the purpose of the supervising architect to enlarge the Port land Postoffice by adding a wing on the' rear of the building on the Sixth-street side, facing the Portland Hotel. The ex tension will be the full height of the pres ent building, and cover most, 1 not all. of the Sixth-street side of the present struc ture, although the definite plans are not yet worked out, and no dimensions can be obtained. It is t proposed that the Postoffice shall occupy the entire first floor of the remod eled building, with additional room in tho basement. This office will then have near ly twice the amount of floor space ngw available. In the second story will be two new courtrooms for the Circuit and Dis trict Courts. The balance of this floor will be remodeled to provide Judges' quar ters, jury-rooms, lavatories and other con veniences. The District Attorney will move from the second to the third floor, which h will share with the Surveyor General. It is proposed that the same offices now In the Postoffice building shall occupy the enlarged quarters In the remodeled build ing; no new offices will be injected. Under the plan now being developed, no qxtetior -WQrk will be done on any save the; Sixth-street eLdcof tho building.
