im 4
TACOMA, April 20. (Special.) Tacoma
la to be a wide-open town under the ad
ministration of Qeorge P. "Wright, who
has just taken over the Mayor'a office.
Perhaps the town may not be as wide
open as It was prior to the time the gam
bling felony bill passed, but there will bo
as much latitude given as possible to the
liberal element.
The administration will go back to the
fining system which Mayor Louis D.
Campbell discarded a short time ago.
Campbell, under pressure from the
churches, took the position that to collect
fines from the women of the town and
from others who violated the law was to
go Into partnership with the law-breakers.
In his campaign he preached this
doctrine himself. Insisting that no "un
clean" money should come Into the city
treasury.
Not Finical About the Source.
The new Democratic Mayor has no
such scruples about handling money that
comes In through the Police Court. He
holds that the city needs the revenue
and that It Is only through a fining sys
tem that the Police Department can keep
a check upon the petty criminal classes.
And one of the first movements of Mayor
"Wright's police force will be to round up
tha women of the town and bring them
Into court to pay fines again.
"When gambling opens up again there
will, of course, be no attempt made to
levy fines upon the men who own the
games, for the administration cannot
take cognizance of gambling without
prosecuting someone under the gambling
felony act. The games will simply reopen
and be conducted without interference.
Slot machines will probably go back
upon the counters of cigar stores and
upon saloon bars. There Is a movement
aroot among the slot-machine men to
test the constitutionality of the state law
that prohibits the merchandise machines.
The new administration will not permit
the money machines to be operated, but
the card machines which give merchan
dise for successful hands can go back as
soon as the preliminaries are arranged.
Gradual Lapse to Gambling.
There will be no formal statement given
the saloon men that they can reopen
gambling, but this is well understood.
And yesterday Mayor Wright, said In an
interview with an Oregonian representa
tive that he intended to follow a "lib
eral" policy In his administration.
The poker games have never been
closed In Tacoma and there has never
been any attempt to close them. Since
the gambling felony act went Into effect
the poker games have been sent upstairs
and they have not been intruded upon the
public so much. But anyone looking for
a game could find poker in plenty.
"When roulette and faro Is dealt again
In Tacoma the same air of secrecy or re
tirement will be followed. These gambling
games will have to go up to the second
floor or even further up from the. street.
But It will not be difficult for anyone to
find the games.
Chief Will Be the Go-Between.
The Chief of Police will have charge of
the gambling problem and the new Mayor
will not Interfere with him, so long as.
In a general way, he follows out what
are Mayor Wright's Ideas. This action
of the Mayor in giving over to the Chief
of Police the control of the city Is rather
significant.
Thomas Maloney, named for Chief, was
appointed after a consultation with the
saloon men. They wore perfectly satis
fled with Maloney, otherwise he would
not have gone Into office. Charles D.
King, who was a police captain during
the Fawcett administration In 1897 when
the town was filled with criminals prey
ing off Klondlkers. Is back In his former
position. Of late King has been a private
detective, a calling that has kept him in
touch with a certain class of inquiry work.
Gambler for Police Captain.
The most remarkable appointment,
though, is that of George Lawrence to
be the second police captain. Lawrence
had charge of the Owl gambling rooms
while that resort had games In full oper
ation. The Owl was the most notorious
variety theater and gambling-house in
the city, running a dozen or more games
of doubtful percentage. Lawrence, at
first a dealer, was later made manager
of the gambling rooms of this house.
During the municipal campaign Law
rence did general work under pay from
saloon men in furthering Wright's inter
ests. For all of this he is paid again by
his appointment of Police Captain. There
is some complaint even among saloon
men over this appointment.
The Police Department is slated for a
cleaning out; the Fire Department for
a moderate shakeup. Already in the Po.
lice Department men have gone who
have served in the-department for from
tan to 14 or 15 years. Somo old police
men whom politics disturbed years ago
are going back on the force. It is to the
Police Department that Mayor Wright
looks for an enforcement of his "liberal"
policy.
Wright's Desire to Please.
"I intend to give this city a liberal
administratIon,,, said Mayor Wright
frankly, when an inquiry was made re
garding his policy. "I think the senti
ment of the people here is in favor of
such a change, and I propose to make it
"I do not understand the move by Mayor
Balllnger, of Seattle, In closing Seattle.
But even though he does make Seattle a
closed town, one must remember that
there Is a great deal of difference be
tween Tacoma and Seattle, and that a
policy adapted to one city will not fit the
other.
"So far as the work of Mayor Balllnger
pertains to cleaning out the crooks of
Seattle, I want heartily to Indorse It, and
if those petty crooks come to Tacoma
we will send them right along. We have
no more use for that class of population
than has Seattle.
Feared Future Actions.
"We had a liberal policy In effect here
up to the time Mayor Campbell was pre
vailed upon by the church people to make
the change. But even at that poker
games are running openly, and I really
believe that the hostility of the saloon
men toward Campbell was not based on
what he had done to them, but upon a
feeling that ho might impose hardships
later."
In answer to a direct question, Mayor
Wright stated that the enforcement of
the gambling laws was a matter that the
County Attorney and Sheriff should un
dertake. He added that this question
would be left in the hands of the Chief
of Police.
Saloon men do not propose to resume
gambling Immediately nor to open up in
concert. They propose to open the town
gradually and to introduce nothing, but
roulette and faro. These games will be
played on an upper story-

MADE AND LOST FORTUNES IN WESTERN MINES
OENESEE, Idaho, April 10.
(Special.) N. J. Walby, an old
and respected citizen of this place,
died at his home April 1.
Nels Jensen Walby was born No
vember 1, 1S31, at Copenhagen,
Denmark, where he received his
education and lived until be camo
to this country In the early fifties.
After living for a number of years
in the Eastern States he wended
his way westward, crossing the
plains and traveling over nearly
every portion of the West, ho
shared the life and hardships of
the early pioneers and la an en
counter with Indians received a
severe wound. He spent a num
ber of years on the Tualttln
Plains In Oregon and was In
Baiter City In 1S07. During theso
j cars he rccrosscd the continent
and Atlantic several times to visit
his old home in Denmark. Ho

maining years.
desires that I should becomo a candidate
I am willing."
Both Wilson and Furth protested against
Instructions from the King County. Re
publican Convention In favor of Mr. Piles.
Each Insisted the counts' would be
stronger In the Senatorial fight If the
Legislative delegation were instructed ,,to
support a King County candidate, leaving
the choosing of such a man to the delega
tion. Furth declared this was the best
method of electing a King County man,
closing his argument with the bare As
sertion, but Wilson pleaded for such an
agreement on the ground of harmony
and that it would bring outside strength
to the county that Piles could not get.
Plies refused to agree to any plan that
did not give him the Indorsement of the
King County Convention. He declared
that he had made the fight and could
force his own Indorsement if a contest
were to be precipitated. To this state
ment Wilson is quoted as having assented.
The conference between Furth, Wilson
and Piles was the result of a demand by
the business men's committee that in
dorsed Piles that Furth state his position.
When this demand was carried to Furth
he insisted Wilson must be present when
the answer was given.
A conference that was held in the Rai
nier Club at 4 o'clock this afternoon was
the result. In addition to the three Sen
atorial figures In the King County fight,
there were present several members of
the Piles committee. Including John H.
McGraw, W. H. White, C. J. Smith and
half a dozen others. They supported
Piles' contentions stubbornly.
Though called for tho purpose of secur
ing a statement from Furth. the confer
ence was marked more for the banker's
silence than for what he said. Three
times he spoke once to outline his posi
tion as quoted and twice to favor Wilson's
plan for an Instructed delegation. Wil
son and Piles talked most of the time,
his committee supporting Piles when nec
essary. After the meeting had adjourned Wilson
expressed his disappointment because
Piles had not agreed to leave tho Senator
ial question open. Later he met a com
mittee of his own friends and related
the story of tho meeting, strongly con
demning the attitude of Plies.

GRID ARMY SUED
Camp Fires Blaze With Joy Over
Escape of General Bedell's
War Orderly From a
Paralytic's Fate.
When Hr. Ross C. Duffy, of No. IS
Russell avenue, Nashua, N. H., was
suddenly prostrated by a paralytic
shock, the deepest concern was felt
throughout the town in which he had
been a prominent official.
Grand Army men were especially so
licitous, for in the Civil "War Mr. Duffy
had acted as General Bedell's orderly
while serving with Company F, Third
Regiment, New Hampshire "Volunteer
Infantry, and after the war he became
a member of General Foster Post, G. A.
R., and rose to be department vice
commander. The general anxiety felt about him
after his sudden shock In the latter
part of 1901 was slightly relieved by the
news that he had come out of a state
of unconsciousness which had lasted
for five days, but as week after week
went by and he made no further prog
ress, one leg remaining paralyzed. It
was concluded that the highly honored
veteran, must at best remain a cripple
for life.
Suddenly, to the surprise and delight
of every one, Mr. Duffy appeared on
the street in unmistakably robust
health, and was overwhelmed by con
gratulations and inquiries.
"The regular treatment," said Mr.
Duffy, "didn't do a bit of good, so far
as my paralyzed leg was concerned. My
left leg remained cold and dead, and I
had been too active a man to be content
to be housed up with one dead leg If
there" was any possible way to cure it.
I finally stumbled on help by the merest
chance. I got my clew out of a Boston
paper from the story of a war comrade.
John Hunter, of Chlco, Cal., who had
been cured of a desperate attack of lo
comotor ataxia by Dr. "Williams' Pink
Pills. I sent for a box of the pills at
once, and In less than a month after
ward I, too, became a perfectly well
man as the result of using them, and I
have remained so ever since. No more
vertigo, no more trouble with my stom
ach, none with my kidneys; in fact,
every organ seems to be doing its
proper work. I certainly have good
reason to be thankful to Dr. Williams
Pink Pills." These pills are sold by all
druggists throughout the world.
