Duty to Save Himself.
LARGE AND; SMALL POLITICS
aiyor Much Disconcerted Iy Action
"Which Fail to XlecoRnlzc. His
Ante-Election .Arrangements
Railroad Finger Is Visible.
SEATTLE, Nov. 30. (Special.) At last
the municipal boll, which has been bloom
ing and blustering for months past on the
body politic, has burst and a veritable
flood of scandal Is expected to flow over
the city In the ensuing six months. Last
jilght at 9 o'clock. Chief of Police Sulli
van, who has labored under tremendous
odds to hold the criminal element and the
politicians in check, took the bit in his
teeth, closed e'ery gambling game in the
city, barred the doors to the dance and
cbncert halls and through his police offi
cers and detectives arrested- something
over 50 disorderly and suspicious charac
ters. Two things impelled the Chief to
this stejy One was the fact that Mayor
Humes has practically deserted him at a
time when certain Influences combining
together in strange alliance are out after
his scalp. The other was the determina
tion to rid the city of a large number of
Well-known crooks who, congregating
here during the "Winter, have inaugurated
6. veritable carnival of crime.
Last night the story was abroad, and
apparently well authenticated, that a de
mand had been made on Chief Sullivan for
his resignation. There Is no doubt that had
he not taken the step he did last night the
pressure would have been so strong on
him that he would have been forced to
resign or els face a grand jury.
The Chief's main offense is that he has
permitted a group of vicious dance halls
end dives of the lowest character to be
established in the "New Tenderloin," as
that part of the city on the tide flats south
of Jackson street, set aside for red light
purposes, is called. Another charge agaln3t
the Chief is the tolerance of wide-open
gambling all over the city, the number
of games having trebled in the past six
months. In addition to the four large es
tablishments heretofore existing In the
old Tenderloin district, now largely given
up to legitimate business, several new
ones have been established since the
close of the big gambling war last Sum
mer. But In addition, games have, sprung
up all over town. In the New Tenderloin
district, there are three or four big es
tablishments equipped with what arc
called "lecitimate" games and a variety
of "skin" or high percentage devices
where the players are practically robbed
without a show.
The accumulation of these establish
ments with their attendant evils has so
aroused public indignation that the Chief
was forced to act in self-defense when he
made Seattle a "closed town" with a ven
geance last nlirht.
Gamblers Fell Ont.
But this does not begin to tell the story.
"While public spntlment. always more or,
less comatose In Seattle on questions con
cerning the toleration of vice, has been
aroused somewhat by the disclosures in
the papers, the fact is that a war between
the gamblers started the proceedings. The
Oregonlan has already old o the inter
ference by Superior Court Judge Bell into
Tenderloin politics when a month ago he
told the Chief that unless he ordered
ground-floor gambling In the New Tender
loin closed up hef would order a grand jury
Investigation into municipal affairs. While
no one -questioned Judge Bell's motives, it
Is known that the boss gamblers, who saw
the New Tenderloin houses making heavy
Inroads Into their profits, desired this done
unless, the Chief put their competitors out
of business. Thus It was a flght between
the gamblers' trust, which has always
3layed a big part in Seattle politics, and
the independent operators. The latter.
headed by Scotty Ferguson, demanded the
came noninterference as the boss gamblers
have enjoyed for so long. The boss
gamblers, having the administration on
the hip. by reason of campaign contrlbu
tlons given and received by Humes' mana
gers. proceeded to put the screws to- the
Chief. The latter weakened under the
pressure and closed the down-town games.
The Independent gamblers retaliated by
going to the Mayor and threatening all
kinds of reprisals if the prohibitive order
was not rescinded.
Then, during Chief Sullivan's absence
from the city, the Mayor and Actfng Chief
wlllard restored the seized paraphernalia
to the New Tenderloin gamblers and al
lowed them to4 resume. This, It Is under
stood, was brought about by a truce which
tho two factions arranged to continue
through the holidays when the gamblers'
coffers are filled to overflowing In Seattle
with the money of the wageworkers and
out-of-town people.
When Chief Sullivan returned to the
city he found a pretty state af affairs.
The two factions of gamblers, who had
kept him and the police In constant tur
moil for months past, were, from tho
Chiefs point of -view, running his office
for him. He saw tho situation slipping
entirely away from him. He realized that
the boes gamblers, with nerve unsurpassed
even In Seattle, were framing municipal
policies to suit themselves; that they were
saying, according to tho Chief himself,
when and where gambling should be al
lowed to run and who should be allowed
to gamble.
Self-Preservatlon Demanded Action.
"I felt that It was time to do some
, thing to save myself," said tho Chief, lato
last night, when he had returned to his
office from a personal vielt to the Tender
loin to see that his orders had been
obeyed. "I did not consult Mayor Humes
or any one when I Issued the order clos
ing all games, including the dance halls.
My duties are plain under the law, and
If I am not Interfered with I shall uphold
the law.
"Now, if the. people of this town Want
a quiet town, they'll certnlnly have it. If
J am not disturbed I'll make this the quiet
est and most orderly town on the Coast."
Mayer Humes, while nonplussed when
he heard last night of the Chief's order,
did not give any evidence of the chagrin
he must have felt, considering that he has
always in tlmea gone by personally direct
ed tho Chief in framing up a policy gov
erning gambling. Tho Mayor has been
obliged to do this, for, as is well known,
the gamblers' ring contributed 510,000 to
hla nomination and election only last
Spring, under certain promises which were
made to them, presumably with the
"Mayor's knowledge and consent, by 'his
political friends and managers. The Mayor
has certainly endeavored to pay his po- I
litical obligations to the gamblers and
their friends, including the Clancy broth
ers, an Independent group of gamblers, j
who gave the First Ward vote ooild for.
Humes last Spring, thereby saving hits
from defeat.
The Mayor's policy has bred consent
scandal and turmoil, and this state -of
affairs has Tcsulted: The people have pro-
tested to Mayor Humes against the growth
of gambling and the increase of the vi
cious classes; the Mayor has said he did
not control the gamblers, but that that
duty was vested In Chief Sullivan, his own
appointee. The gamblera have tried to
force the Mayor to close out the Inde- ,
pendent establishments and allow the
gamblers' trust to thrive and grow rich;
the small-fry gamblers have fought back,
threatening grand Juries, a closed town
and the like. To the Importunities of both
factions, the Mayor has turned a good
ear, but has given no counsel. He has
dumped the whole load on the Chief, who,
finding himself desperately cornered, be
tween several fires, and. in danger of hav
ing his office and the whole police force
investigated by a grand Jury, determined
on heroic measures, and last night's order
followed.
Gamblers Have Been Grafted.
Now as to the Chief and his job. The
Times this morning, in a sensational ar
ticle, charges, in effect, that there has
been wholesale corruption in the protec
tion of the gamblers; that the latter have
spent an enormous corruption fund every
month, the money going. to officials or
politicians. The gamblers themselves, sore
at the fallurd of the Mayor to seize hold
of the situation himself and bring order
out of chaos, say that they' have been
"grafted" by every petty politician and
heeler of the administration until their
profits have disappeared like a snowbank
under a Chinook wind.
Another element in "this greatest of all
municipal puzzles remains yet to be noted.
Certain large corporate Interests here. In
cluding the Pacific Coast Company, of
which J. D. Farrell, J. J. Hill's personal
representative here. Is president, has a
strong grievance against the city admin-'
Istratlon. The compapy desires certain
street vacated and other concessions, in
order to help promote tho much-talked-of
union' terminal scheme.. A serious clash
between Mr. Farrell and the Interests he
represents, on one hand, and the admin
istration, on tho other, resulted. The
Council refused the privileges, which are
very valuable. There was a "throw
down" somewhere, and it is said that Mr.
Farrell Id going- after the administration.
Mr. Farrell avers Ignorance of municipal
politics and a disinclination to meddle at
all. Nevertheless, there Is no doubt that
the organization with headquarters in the
Tenderloin, which has mado Mayor Humes
great, and which has largely been respon
sible for his administration, is to be de
stroyed. Tho opposition to Mayor Humes
growing out of the disputes over the ter
minal privileges Is determined to take the
Mayor's following and Influence away from
him. Then, it Is said, they will go after
the Council, cutting off perquisites which
certain officeholders are ' said to enjoy
from the Tenderloin games. This is said
to be .the programme, and It is undoubt
edly one of the elements In the case. The
closing of the games and the raiding of
the dance halls is said to be the first step
in the campaign.
What will Mayor Humes do? What will
Chief Sullivan do? If he Is forced out,
who will be the new Chief? These are
the questions that are heing asked every
where In the city. The fight is to be long
and bitter, and sensational developments
will be of almost dally occurrence.
FIGHTING OYER REMAINS
Two Sets of Receivers for National
Salt Company.
NEW XORK. Nov. 30. An action to set
aside the recent appointment by Judge
"Kirkpatrick of receivers for the National
Salt Company and have the bankruptcy
proceedings brought by creditors 'canceled
will be brought before Judge Kirkpatrick
In the -United States Circuit Court at
Newark, N. J., tomorrow. The contention
will be made by tho attorneys represent
ing the'salt company that Jurisdiction was
not vested In Judge Kirkpatrick when he
appointed the receivers, as the Chancery
Court had, previous to the Judge's deci
sion, appointed receivers on application
of directors of the company, who repre
sented that the company was Insolvent.
The Chancery Court receivers at present
are In charge of the company's affairs.

McMillan's successor, but even this cere
mony may be postponed for a day.
Tuesday the President's message will
be read and beyond this no business will
be attempted that day. Tho sessions of
Wednesday and Thursday also will be
barren, with an adjournment from Thurs
day until the following Monday. On
Wednesday, in accordance with the agree
ment of last session. Senator Boverldge
doubtless will present a report from the
committee on territories on the statehood
bill and It will then go over until De
cember 10.
There' will be an effort to confirm
some of the numerous nominations ex
pected to be sent in at the first oppor
tunity. The list of those In whose in
terest this effort will be made Includes
Oliver, Wendell Holmes, whose nomina
tion ns Associate Justice of the United
States Supreme Court will be one of the
first to be sent to the Senate. There are
a number of cases involving constitu
tional questions before the court, whose
hearing has been postponed until a full
bench can be secured, and the desire on
the part of the court for prompt action
doubtless will have much influence in se
curing expeditidh in considering this
nomination.
A large number of bills will be intro
duced on Wednesday nnd Thursday, and
the foundation will be laid for what all
predict will be a very crowded session.
MITCHELIj "WANTS COAST DEFENSE).
Getting: Official Indorsement for New
Legislation.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov. 30. Senator Mitchell has been
busy throughout the past week collecting
recommendations from the Secretary of
War and other officials, touching upon
needed legislation for the coast defense of
the country. As chairman of the commit
tee on coast defenses, the Senator pro-
-poses to .advocate the passage in the short
session of such legislation as Is urgently
demanded.
In years past, the duties of the commit
tee on coast defenses have been cared for
by the committee on military affairs. The
growing importance of the coast defenses
and their present Inefficient equipment
has appealed to the Senator. He Is par
ticularly anxious that some legislation be
enacted which will permit the complete
fortification of the mouth of the Columbia
River, but says most of tho harbors are
yet Inadequately protected.
Fourteen Men Killed by Hunters.
MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 20. The sea

A Druggist's Advice.
Mr. C. L. Thompson, a druggist of Dan
ville, Ind., gives the following wholesome
advice to his customers: "If you should
ever need a remedy for croup or whooping
cough, get Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
It absolutely has no equal for the preven
tion and cure of croup, and if taken In
time and according to directions, it is a
most excellent remedy for whooping cough
nnd all throat and luntr troubles. I would
recommend that a bottle of this medicine
be kept In the home at all times, esoeci
ally where there are children In the fam
ily." For sale by all druggists.
NATIONAL BANKS
Controller Ridgely's Report
Shows Material Increase.
470 NEW ONES, !4 LIQUIDATED
Power to Issue Additional Notes
Would Give Greater Elasticity to
the National Currency and
Ward Off Panics.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. The annual
report of William B. Rldgely, Controller
of the Currency, starts with a table giv
ing a detailed statement of the resources
and liabilities of all the National -banks
of the United States, as shown by the
Ave reports of condition made In response
to the call of the Controller. This table
shows that on September 15, 1902, the
date of the last call, 4601 associations re
ported, with aggregate resources of $6,113,
S2S.912. The loans and discounts amounted
to $3,208,127,480, or more than 50 per cent
of the total resources of tho banks. Tho
items of surplus and undivided profits
amounted, respectively, to $326,393,953 and
$169,216,512. The Individual deposits reached
the highest point In the existence of the
National banking system, $3,209,273,893.
There was due to approved reserve agents,
other than National banks, state banks
and bankers, trust companies and savings
banks, the sum of $1,200,341,233. From, Sep
tember 30, 1901, to September 15, 1902, there
was an Increase of $418,551,617 in the ag
gregate resources of the reporting banks,
the principal Items of interest being:
Loans and discounts, $261,511,562; United
States bonds, $12,570,520; due from Nation
al and other banks, $35,217,372. There was
an increase In capital stock of $50,193,537;
in surplus and other profits, $65,048,537, and
in individual deposits of $271,520,660.
Comparing conditions on September 30,
1902, with those shown In the last report
it will be seen that the number of active
associations has increased from 3773 to
4601, or a net Increase of 828. The aggre
gate resources of the associations In
creased during the decade $2,603,834,015;
loans and discounts, $1,109,080,393; bonds on
deposit as security for circulation, $160,
978,460, and specie and legal tender notes,
$157,119,741 and $37,489,673, respectively.
While the capital of the associations in
creased only to the extent of $18,962,402,
the surplus and undivided profits are now
greater than In 1892 by $155,086,287. Tho
volume of individual deposits increased
from $1,765,422,084 to $3,209,273,894, or nearly
82 per cent. While the outstanding circu
lation has increased $174,568,511, or over 122
per cent, there was no material Increase
until, subsequent to March 14, 1900, the
date of the act authorizing -tho issue of
circulation to the par value of bonds on
deposit.
Tho deposits on which reserve was re
quired amounted to $3,844,365,638. Tho, banks
held in cash with the reserve agents and
in redemption $989,433,995, but the avail
able reserve amounted to $804,333,904, which
was $17,563,177 in excess of the legal re
quirement, being an average reserve of
20.92 per cent.
Growth of Ten Years.
The report states that in 1892 returns
were received from 9338 National and state
banks and private banks and bankers,
with capital and deposits aggregating
$1,071,073,048, .and $4,679,114,316, respectively.
In July, 1902, there were In active opera
tion In the country 16,156 banks and bank
ers, with capital and deposits amounting
respectively to $1,340,160,416, and $9,707,-
281,904.
In 1892 the capital stock of the National
banks represented. 63.9 per cent, and In
1902 52.4 per cent of the total for all banks.
The deposits of National banks In 1902
amounted to 37.8 per cent of the total for
all banks, and in 1902 amounted to 32.8
per cent.
At the close of March 13, 1900, the day
preceding the approval of tho act author
izing the issue of National bank circulat
ing notes .to the par value of bonds on de
posit, the Treasurer held securities for
that purpose to the amount of $243,651,420;
on October 3L 1901, he held $329,833,920; on
October 31, 1902, $338,352,670, of which ap
proximately 95 per cent were in 2 per cent
consols of 1930.
Since the nassano of the act of March
'14, 1900, empowering the Controller of the
Currency to authorize the organization of
banks with minimum capital of $25,000 In
places having population not exceeding
2000, there have been organized 805 asso
ciations with capital less than $50,000, gen
erally with $25,000, the minimum amount
authorized under that act. From March
14, 1900, to October 31, 1902, there were or
ganized 1212 associations, with total capi
tal of $70,159,500 and bond deposits as se
curity for circulation of $17,321,500. Banks
to the number of 407,. with capital of $49,
060,000, were organized under the provis
ions of the act of 1864, "and 805 with a capi
tal of $21,099,500 under the act of March
14, 1900. State or private banks to the
number of 363, with an aggregate capital
of $23,925,000, have been reorganized as
National banks since March 14, 1902.
During the year ended October 31, 1902,
470 banks were chartered, with an aggre
gate capita) of $31,300,000, of which number
302, with capital of $7,905,000 were of the
smaller class and 168, with capital of $23,
225,000. had Individual capital of $50,000
and over. There was an average of one
and one-half banks organized on every
secular day of the year. Within a period
of three years subsequent to the estab
lishment of the National banking system,
14 associations had been placed in volun
tary liquidation.
Regarding the consolidation of Nation
al banks the Controller recommends that
the Revised Statutes of the United States
be amended to provide, in effect, for con
solidatlon of National banks on the lines
of the law of the State of New York, ex
cept that the corporate existence of the
closing bank shall be terminated as pro
vided by section 5220, and that where the
capital stock of the absorbing bank is in
creased for the purpose in conformity
with the provisions of section 5142, that
the new stock may be Issued to sharehold
ers of the closing association upon sur
render and cancellation of their old shares
at the book value of the stock of the ab
sorbing bank, but not less than par.
The Controller has made a careful In
vestigation into the question of cost of
operating tho National banks, arranging
the banks for this purpose into classes
according to the amount of their capital
stock
From the data gathered It was shown
that the cost of operation, based on the
average volume of loans and discounts,
ranged from a minimum of 1.33 per cont
for the largest class of banks to a max
lmum of 4.26 per cent' for banks with the
minimum amount of capital stock.
Tho bill reported at the last session of
Congress by the House committee on
banking and currency, relating to branch
banks and asset currency, has had very
careful consideration by various bankers'
associations.
The most serious objection which has
been urged against the National bank
currency Is 'Us lack of elasticity; that It
does not automatically respond to the
demands of business, .but Is dependent
upon the price of bonds and other con
siderations. The first requirement of any
currency Is safety and uniformity In
value. Our bank notes have been, from
the first issu"o practically perfect In this
respect. v
There can be no denial of the fact, and
there is really none made, that the lack
of . elasticity is a serious defect In our
bank notes, which greatly reduces- their
usefulness, not only linger normal bust

the safety of the notes it should be done

The greatest demand for Increased cur
rency comes, of course, when It is re
quired for moving crops in the farming
stiles. If this can be supplied quickly
and automatically as required by the
banks in those states, and if, after per
forming Its duty. It 1b returned to the
banks and retired, it will mark a great
advance In the Improvement of Our facil
ities for handling the vast and rapidly
growing business of this country. In the
latter halt of each year he problem is i
Presented to the banks to furnish cur
rericy needed to handle frbm 2,500,000,000 to
3,000,000,000 bushels of grain, 8,000,000 to i0,-
000,000 bales of cotton and a correspondJ
lng quantity of other farm products.
The total value of these products for
the year 1902 will not be far from $5,000,-
000,000. This calls for the use of a vast
cum of money. Much of It Is d"one on
bank deposit credits and by means of
checks.
So- much of It, however, must be han
dled with currency of some sort as to
make a demand for currency in large
amounts, and every year there is a great
deal of anxiety, and often serious dis
turbance in business, until the crop sea
son is over and the money returned to
those who have had to furnish it. The '
people in the country who do this enor- 1
mous business and produce the great
they get-aro, In fact, entitled to the very
best facilities which can ,be devised and
supplied to them.
In times of panic the power to issue
additional notes would be an element of
great strength to the banks, and not of
weakness. It would enable the banks to
protect themselves and their customers
when protection is most needed.
If our bank circulation can be made
more automatically elastic, so that tho
banks can supply more or less of circu
lation as needed, which is so safe and
reliable that It Is readily accepted and
used for all buslneea transactions, we will
have a force at work In our financial af.
fairs which will diminish the "ability of
money panic, and will bo an efficient
aid when we shall have an actual condi
tion of panic'

antine laws, with an account of the
health organizations of the republics; a
descriptive account of the quarantine sta
tions and their management; a review of
the prevailing diseases, with special ref
erence to yellow fever, malarial fever,

Priest Mulces Plea tov National Ad
to Paroclilnls.
CHICAGO, Nov. 30. "The Roman Cath
olics in the United States aro annually
paying into the National Treasury $25,000.
000 beyond their rightful taxes, and are
educating 1,000,000 children without charg
ing the country one cent for it. Yet we
have riever been given one word of praise
for this tremendous work. The country
is not to blame for this; we ourselves are
at, fault, because we have never told the
United States what we have been do
ing;." These words formed part of an earnest
plea for National aid to the Catholic
schools that the Very Rev. "William
O'Brien Pardow, S. J.', of New York City,
made to an audience of Catholics that
filled the Auditorium tonight. The sub
ject of the lecture was, "Saint DeLa
Salle and Modern Education," and 'its
object the raising of funds for the use of
the teaching orders of the Catholic
Church. The management of the affair
reported, after the meeting, that $26,000
had been the net amount realized. This
sum included the $10,000 offered by "W.
Bourke Cochran, of New York, condition
ally upon a like amount being raised by
the sale of seats.
