WASHINGTON HAS
LAND FRAUDS
F. M. Barrett, Banker and
Presbyterian, In Coming
Trials.
ITALIANS MADE ENTRIES
Barrett Claims Humanitarian Mo
lives Guided Him lo Lend Money
for Timber Claims, but For
eigners Say Too 31uch.
SEATTLE, Wash.. June S.-(Special.)
The first prosecution by the Federal Gov
ernment for timber lands frauds, com-;
menced in this state sine an inquiry into
conditions here began, will be begun la
the Federal Court here next Wednesday.
P. M. Barrett, a Wheaton, Minn., banker
and " a prominent Presbyterian church
worker, is the principal defendant, the
-three other men charged with him, Bro
Jcaw, Strout and King, being Incidentally
connected with the case.
The land involved Is all located In Mon
tana, but the alleged illegal contracts
were all made in Spokane. The grand
Jury inquiry was held in that city, the
indictments returned and Judge Hanford
assigned to hear them. When the new
Eastern Washington District was created
the cases were transferred to Soattle.
Italians Hired to Locate.
Italians made the entries which the
Government charge's were illegally filed.
According to the Government's statement
of the case, Barrett entered into a con
tract with Joseph Placlno. agreeing to
pay him 51000 each for timber claims, upon
which he located his countrymen and
upon which final proof was made.
Placlno'. share came through lils own
agreement with the Italians that he was
to be paid 5100 each to locate them upon
timber lands. The fellow-countrymen Qt
Placlno became suspicious and Placlno is
said to have exhibited to them the con
tract he had with Barrett to keep them
satisfied.
It was because the trouble stirred up
the Italian colony at Spokane that the
agents of the Government learned of the
scheme. The foreigners talked too much
and were too suspicious. The end came
when the grand Jury took up the case
and Placlno told his version of the entire
matter before that Investigating body.
The four indictments were then returned.
Barrett's Story.
Barrett's story is that he came , to Spo
kane on private business and met Placlno
there through an introduction by King.
The Italian asked Barrett to supply
money to defray the expenses of a num
ber of his countrymen who sought tim
ber claims, and It was this deal that
Barrett claims he made. This agreement,
his friends insist, was secured from blm
by Placlno upon misrepresentation in an
effort to defraud his countrymen.
King, Strout and Brokaw are alleged to
have been Interested in the deal through
en agreement to assist Barrett In financ
ing the scheme.
BAI DAY FOR TAX-DODGEltS
Washington's Tax , Commission
Promises to Catcli Them.
OL.TMPIA. Wash., Juno !. (Special.)
The State Tax Commission organized to
day, with the selection of T. D. Rockwell
as president, and Frank H. Morse, of
Tacoma, secretary. At the close of the
meeting the following statement was is
sued by the secretary in behalf of the
commission.
"We find a large amount of mall on
hand asking for information regarding
almost every branch and phase of taxa
tion, which will be taken up and disposed
of as rapidly as the commission can get
the desired information and speak with
certainty on the mattors inquired about.
"One of the pleasing features of many
letters is the cordial co-oporatlon ton
dered tho commission in its effort for
equal taxation by the most simple and
Inexpensive method, not only from As
sessors and other state and county offi
cers, but from people in all vocations of
life. A firm doing one of the largest
wholesale businesses in the state writos
us that one of the prime olomonts taken
into ' consideration In extending credit is
the customer's tax statement to the local
Assessor, and that they require their
credit man in all cases to look up the
tsworn statement of tho prospective cus
tomer: that a suspicious tax statement
will bear the same scrutiny as a suspi
cious fire. A banker has written to us
to the same tenor and effect.
"The commission Jn conjunction with
other state officers will sit as a state
board of equalization in September to
equalize taxes as between the several
counties. Our lmmedaite attention will
be given to an investigation of the rela
tive amount of state taxes which should
be borne by each county and values raised
or lowered on different classes of prop
erty to obtain this result.
"Wc believe that our stewardship at
the end of two years will show at least
35 per cent more proporty which has
never been turned in for tho purpose of
taxation. We have no secrets to bo kept
from the public, and believe that ail of
our acts will meet with tho approval of
all citizens who desire equality, equity
and economy in the matter of taxation."
BLINKERS FOR INSPECTOR,
Not Allowed to Scrutinize Too Much
in Washington Mills.
OLYMPIA. Wash., June S. (Special.)
In an opinion given today, the Attornoy
General gives a literal interpretation to
the new factory inspection law, advising
the Labor Commissioner, in effect, that
the machinery in . factories, mills and
workshops only Is subject to inspection,
and that openings only of hoistways,
hatchways, elevators, well-holes and
stairways In factories, mills, workshops,
storehouses, warerooms and stores are
subject to Inspection. This interpretation
requires inspection of certain openings In
only certain classes of buldlngs. and re
lieves elevator holstway machinery and
the like from scrutiny.
Hotels and a large number of other In
stitutions will not come within the scope
of the law. The Labor Commissioner is
referred to the dictionary definitions of
factores. mills, workshops, etc. for fur
ther guidance.

WOMEN IN H ROW
Seattle and Ballard Divide
Honors at Fair.
NAME A KING COUNTY DAY
Official Hostess Finds Women in Re
ception Lino Appointed by
Chamber of Commerce
She Docs Not Know.
' SEATTLE. Wash.. June S. (Special.)
Friction between the womea in charge
of the arrangements for celebrating Seat
tle day at the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion Is causing uneasiness to city offi
cials and the chamber of -commerce, inter
ested In making Seattle week a success.
Incidentally the Ballard women have
been drawn into the quarrel, though the
Ballard women have been given a com
promise with whloh they are neaeJy sat
isfied. Ballard wanted a- separate day, main
taining that If compelled to observe
one. day Jointly with Seattle the smaller
.suburb would ,,be overshadowed. The
Seattle women and officials here Insisted
Seattle and Ballard were virtually one
city and should receive as such. The
final compromise "sets. "aside a "King
County day." when the Mayors of all the
towns In .this county will be asked to
assist In the celebration. Ballard will
naturally take the most prominent part.
The trouble in the Seattle committee is
partially due to the fact that the offi
cial hostess did not choose her own as
sistants. They were designated by the
secretary of the Chamber of Commerce
and. his advisors, and naturally Mrs. Ed
mund Bowden found some women on the
board with whom she was not acquainted.
This caused friction at the outset, but
will not likely result in any serious
break.
Between the women, and the Chamber
of Commerce there Is a misunderstand
ing. The women wanted to take Wag
ner's band to Portland and to give a
scries of brilliant receptions, entertain
ments and other social functions. They
wanted a fund of at least $250) raised
for their week, but the Chamber of Com
merce has not yet agreed to this pro
posal. The women do not feel Inclined
to go ahead with their plans until as
sured of entire co-operation on the part
of the Seattle commercial bodies.
It is not probable this friction will re
sult In endangering the success of Se
attle week, for peacemakers are at work.
But the trouble will result In strained re
lations between some of the representa
tivs that may last until after the Fair.
NEW MOTOR-OAR TOO SMALL
Cannot Accommodate West Side
Southern Pacific Traffic
FOREST GROVE, Or., Juno 9. (Spe
cial.) The Southern Pacific's new
motor car arrived here today shortly
bofore noon and remained half an hour
before returning to Portland. Word
soon spread that the much-heralJed car
had come at last, and many people went
to the Jepot to view It.
Although the announcement has been
persistent that tho oar would be used
on the PortlanJ-Forest Grove run, there
Is no assurance that this plan will be
carried out. Manager Field, who was on
the car, would give no encouragemont
In this direction. Tho opinion of the
railway meii .seemed to be that the car
Is too. small to accommodate the West
Side passenger traffic.
"As It seats only 26 persons," said
one, "It would be filled each trip be
fore leaving Foret Grove, and more
dissatisfaction than ever would be ex
pressed by people In other towns along
the line."

the same Summer camping grounds is
nicely to cause a test In the court of the
custom of the state land office, in vogue

attractive portion of Blake Island recent
