SEATTLE, Wash.. Jan. 12.-(Special.)-
if one could be a rood uemocra.. a,m
utill bolt his ticket & trouble that threaten-
to disrupt the King Cunly Op
eratic party would never occur. But two
ward committeemen have been demon
strated to be bolters and read out of the
nartv. and the member, who is a Clt
Party or "Mayor Moore" nominee for
Ward' Councilman, has been served with
notice that he Is ro longer to be welcomed
In Democvattc councils.
This is the first critical 8'lual""'
has arisen as a result of bitter factional
nollticfl in the municipal campaign,, due
largelv to the fact that the party or
ganization has lost its grip on the direct
primary nominations
The, King County Democratic Club was
organized solely for the purpose of bring
Tng the Democrats into line and of organ
zing for the Fall campaign. Mayor
Moore 's a Democrat, but he has been
lined up within recent years with inde
pendent. He was nominated and elected
Myor two years ago as an independent
candMa 7. arid his friends prevented the
Democrat, from holding a convention
There has been bitter opposition to
Moore among a faction of Datic
leaders for several months. Cause lor
Ms opposition runs all the way from
personal pique or disappointment to the
broad basis that as Moore chose to be
Independent the Democracy owed him
nothing.
iSplIt In Democratic Club
The Democratic. Club, through its of
ficers engineered the programme for a
cltv convention to choose a platform
and won the fight against Moore in the
convenXn But when the club came to
whip u" members into line it began to
split General J; B. Metcalfe. PJ
M line Democrat, and well known: edge
and attorney, wanted to te lire
DemocraHc nominee and expected to win
ifTe got the nomination. Ho "nnounced
his candidacy, gathered a scattered fol
ln..int and then became ill.
u is not disputed that prominent Demo
cratic a.h leaders visited Metcalfe and
pledged their support. Later they changed
and decided to support Donald B. Olson
a Scotch real estate dealer. f
rich father-in-law and a large salary
of his "wn Metcalfe followers began
barging bad faith and some of the or
ganlzaiion men. Ignored In the Olson line
up, switched back to Metcalfe.
This was the situation up to the time
,h eeXg-out process began in Demo
cratic Club circles. It happened A. A.

Saturday luncheon of the club, and his
Democraycywas challenged on the ground

It is a curiously Interesting feature of

23,090. so the primary estimate of 25,000 is
a good average.
Three Thousand Votes Nominates.
This will mean that it is unsafe to count
-j upon more than 22.0U0 votes actually .-ast
in the primaries, or which number pos
sibly 12.000 will be Republican. The Dem
ocrats will not poll a very heavy vote
for they are badly broken into by the City
Party organization, whiclr took Demo
crats for its candidates. " "
Figuring on this basis, the successful
Republican nominee will need a total of
between 3000 and -KKK) votes. There are at
least three men who will poll over 3000
and a fourth who will run close to that
figure. In a field of eight provided no
further withdrawals are announced a to
tal of 300 votes looks like a nomination.
There has only been a week out of a
four weeks' fight, and a forecast of the
tri-party fight now must be subject to
future revision. But as it appears tonight
the three men who will fight out the
Mayoralty of Seattle will be: John F.
.Miller, Republican: General J. B. Met
calfe. Democrat, and W. H. Moore, City
Party. None of those nominations will
be won 'easily granted that everybody
now tn the Held will go to the primary,
and only radical partisans are trying to
forecast the March election. But at that
one can. by hunting for It. get even
money from both Miller and Moore parti
sans that their favorite will be elected
Mayor. Both are partisan propositions
and not good betting judgment.
LIQUOR DEALERS ORGANIZE
Two Hundred Meet and Form Pro
tective Association.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Jan. 12. (Special.)
Nearly 200 liquor dealers met
Eagles' Hall this afternoon and organ
ized the Seattle Liquor-Dealers" Protec
tive Association of King County. The
moving cause for the organization of
the liquor dealers is the approaching:
municipal election. The actual discus
sion of candidates and the attitude
of the liquor interests will be taken up
next Sunday.
Henry N. Baumann, president, was
elected, with the following officers
under him: Edward Spranger, vice
president. Patrick E. Sullivan, treas
urer, Arthur Gerbel, secretary.
KLAMATH FALLS CLOSED
NEW ORDER ANNOUNCED TO BE
PERMANENT.
Cattlemen and Stockmen Must Find
Some Other Day Than Sunday to
Do Their Trading.
KLAMATH FALLS. Or., Jan. 12.
(Special.) Klamath Fall and other
towns of Klamath County are now
strictly observing the Sunday-closing
law as set down in the penal code of
the State of Oregon. This is because
of the combination of circumstances
represented by the formation of a Civic
Federation that has taken a stand for
law enforcement, and the prompt ac
tion of Sheriff Silas Obenahain In
notifying all persons engaged in busi
ness in the various towns of the coun
ty that any violations of the law will
be vigorously prosecuted.
The day of the stockman with cat
tle on many hills, or the sheepman who
carefully avoids trespass on the range
of his rival during the week, finding
time to obtain supplies from the trad
ing point on Sunday only, is a thing of
the past. .
Stores of all kinds are closed Sat
urday night, with the exceptions noted
in the law, and remain closed until
Monday morning. Framers of the act
made allowance for the tardy buyer of
necessities for Sunday dinner, together
with others whose functions are
deemed essential, so that druggists,
doctors, undertakers, liverymen, bar
bers, butchers and bakers are in the
exempted class. Recognizing the sin
cerity of the Sheriff in his conduct and
that public sentiment approves the re
form, the observance of the first closed
Sunday was general and rigid, so far
as evidence shows.
Klamath Falls has been a wide open
town, with the exception of a portion
of last year, when gambling was
stopped by the city administration,
and Sunday is said, to have been the
best day of the week for business
under the old conditions. The new
order is a settled condition of the fu
ture, the observance of which the citi
zens and officers will insist upon.

HALL TRIAL WILL
COMMENCETODAY
Steiwer and Others Indicted
Also Face Court
This Motning.
CHARGE IS CONSPIRACY
Ex-Vnited States Attorney Arraigned
With Wheeler County Defendants
for Failure to Prosecute
Butte Creek Company.
John H. Hall. ex-United States At
torney, Winlock W. Steiwer and others
charged in indictment No. 1S11 with il
legally fencing Government land in con
nection. with what is known as the Butte
Creek Land, Livestock & Lumber Com
pany, wili be tried this morning before
Judge. W. H. Hunt, in the Federal Court.
Francis J. Heney. who arrived here Sat
urday morning. spent Saturday and yes
terday going over the evidence in the
case and orce , more the Oregon land
frauds will be aired.
What has been known as the Hall case,
called so undoubtedly because Hall was
removed from the office of United States
Attorney because of the allegations made
against him in the Butte Creek Company
case, has been hanging fire for some time
and the defendants would not have been
tried at this time perhaps but for the
demands Hall has made for a trial. Hall
was indicted with Binger Hermann, W.
W. Steiwer. ex-State Senator H. H. Hen
dricks, Clarence B. Zachary, A. C. SCach
ary. Edwin Mays. F. P. Mays. Charles
A. Watson, Clyde A. Glass. E. D. Stratford
and others. Although Binger Hermann's
name appears in the indictment he will
not be tried with Hall and stelwer.
Charged With Conspiracy.
Hall.- with the other defendants, is
charged with conspiracy for the alleged
Illegal fencing of Government land in
Wheeler County by the Butte Creek Land,
Livestock & Lumber Company. It Is
claimed that 18,360 acres of public lands
are embraced in. the Inclosure, which was
used by the corporation as a pasture,
to the exclusion of all homesteaders by a
system of fencing. As a result of com
plaints from the settlers in Wheeler
County, to the effect that they had been
driven out of the country by threats and
the monopolistic operations of the Butte
Creek Company, indictments were found
last year against the defendants by the
grand jury.
The principal suit against the Butte
Creek Land. Livestock & Lumber Com
pany is contained in Indictment No.
2911. wherein Winlock W. Steiwer, its
president; Hamilton H. Hendricks, its
secretary and treasurer; Clarence B.
Zachary, its general superintendent,
and Clyde E. Glass, a bookkeeper for
the corporation, are involved, besides
A. C. Zachary, Charles A. Watson. Bin
ger Hermann, John H. Hall, Edwin
Mays, F. P. Mays, Clark E. Loomis
and Edward D. Stratford, who are ac
cused of a violation of section 6440.
Revised Statutes of the United States,
by preventing free passage over cer
tain public lands in townships 5, 6 and
7 south, ranges 19 and 20 east, through
the means of an illegal inclosure
formed by means of a line of illegal
homestead entries. !
Make Dummy Entries.
The general policy of the company,
according to the allegations contained
in the indictment,' seems to have been
to connect the rim-rock with the sys
tem of fences by the aid of "dummy"
homestead entries, upon which their
lines of fencing were alleged to have
been constructed as rapidly as the
filings were made.
It is declared that at the time Hall was
United States Attorney, and in spite of
the repeated protests from the ranchers
living where the Butte Creek Company
had fenced in all of the land. Hall never
took official action against the company.
Hall of course eld listen to the protests
of the settlers, in that he received their
letters of protest, and wrote letters to
them in return, but it is charged that
he made no attempt to have the com
pany indicted for illegally fencing or for
fraudulently obtaining uovernment lano.
It Is charged there was politics behind
Hall's inactivity. Hall wanted to be re
appointed, and Seiwer was State Senator
from Wheeler County and also general
superintendent of the company. Hall in
those days was a Mitchell man. but there
was a fight on and the Simon faction
was exceedingly active. Steiwer was a
Simon man, and Hall, it is said, wanted
to be sure of his reappointment, so he
was standing in with both factions.
Whether Edwin Mays. F. V. Mays,
Steiwer and others connected with the
Butte Creek Company, all of whom were
active In politics in those days, were pro
tected by Hall while he was in office, in
return for political favors, will undoubt
edly be brought out at the trial. The
fact that Hall recently made a demand
through a petition filed in the Federal
Court to get access to certain papers
and letter-press books which he used
while in office indicates that he wished
to show by the letter-press books that
he had given attention to the protests
of the settlers from Wheeler County.
Knew of Complaints.
Certain of the books and papers were
turned over to him, and undoubtedly
they will show that he had acknowledged
the receipt of the complaints and had
made inquiry into the methods used by
the Butte Creek Company in obtaining
land. The fact that no criminal action
was instituted by Hall against the com
pany will, it is said, be shown by the
Government witnesses.
Hall was indicted for conspiracy be
cause there was no Federal statute cover
ing malfeasance in office. Heney charged
that Hall was obstructing him in his
work of rounding 'up the land-fraud
thieves and after he was thoroughly con
vinced of this, he had Halt removed from
office. The removal of United States
Marshal Jack Matthews was at Heney's
request and for practically the same
reason as that charged against Hall, that
of obstructing the work of the office.
Hall has always claimed that he was in
nocent of any wrong doing, while on
the other hand Heney- has been Just as
Insistent that Hall was guilty in that
he did not criminally prosecute the Butte
Creek Company. Heney has already tried
and convicted, on another indictment in
connection with the Butte Creek Com
pany Clarence B. Zachary H: H. Hen
dricks and C. A. Watson. Ail of the men
whose names are mentioned In indict
ment No. 1S11 have been arrested, but A.
C. Zachary. who after the indictment
was returned fled the state and has not
been apprehended. -
Heney expects the Hall case to take
two weeks to try. In all the Government
will put on the witness-stand between
60 and 70 witnesses. A greater part of
the testimony that will be offered will be
the same as that heard in the trials of
Coe. D.. Barnard. H. H. Hendricks and
Charles A. Watson. All of the new testi
mony presented by the Government will
of course be against Hall. Most of the
witnesses that have been summoned to
appear have already reported to Heney.
Most of the veniremen who have bee
summoned as jurors are also in the city.

Eddie Quinn Fears tol Leave Seattle,
Lc.t C'oast Magnates Should An
nex Spokane Franchise.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Jwn. 12. (Special.)
The magnates of the Northwestern
League are looking wise, saying nothing,
and In the meantime waiting for the cli
max in the Vancouver, B. . C, situation.
Not one of them has smiled since the
Coast League turned the joke on them
regarding the purchase of the Portland
territory. Sent out as a "feeler," it has
come back as a boomerang.
It is safe to say that, for a time at
least, the circuit which is affectionately
termed "Lucas 10-cent League" in Port
land wili not spread its wings again until
it finds that it is safe in its own flight.
Eddie Quinn, manager of the Spokane
team, came to Seattle Friday afternoon
and announced that he would take the
midnight boat to Victoria. He needed
rest from strenuous life in the metropo
lis, but Eddie was still In town last even
ing, closeted with Manager Dugdale and
Russ Hall, manager of Butte.
Bob Brown, who has the destiny of the
Aberdeen champions in charge, intended
to leave for home yesterday morning, and
as he was absent latt evening from the
general council, it Is taken for granted
that he returned to the bosom of the
Grays Harbor fans loar"d with informa
tion about the latent developments in the
league situation.
Now that it has been settled beyond
question of doubt that Judge McCredle,
owner of the Portland team, is not in
Vancouver after thin franchise. President
Lucas will be able to talk "section 4, rule
10." without fear of losing a trick.
While there is little chance of the Coast
League annexing any of the cities north
of Portland, the mere mention of Judge
McCredie's . name awakens a feeling of
uneasiness. If they heard a rumor to the
effect that he was In Spokane. Eddie
Quinn would jump back so quickly that
he would not get his needed rest.

tin and Thayer prevented Eugene from
scoring. The boys' game was a close con
test all the time, splendid guarding on
both teams holding the score down to a
remarkably low figure for a boys' game.
The Albany boys' team was somewhat
weakened by the absence of Dooley, the
center, who has not been in school long
enough this year to meet the league re
quirements, and Stalnaker, left forward,
who was Injured in practice last week.
This new basketball league is composed
of the high schools of Salem, Albany,
Eugene and Roseburg. It comprises both
boys' and girls' teams. The teams of
each city will play two games with each
of the other league teams, one contest
on the home floor of each team.
TERRORIST IS ARRESTED
Police of Russia Recapture Danger
ous Young Man.
ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 12. The pol!c
are rejoicing over their success in ar
resting an IS-year-old youth named Par
shenkoff, a desperate Terrorist and many
times a murderer, who was taken by
several officers last night. A squad of
detectives hunted down Parshenkoff along
the canalfront on the outskirts of the
city. He made a desperate stand, wound
ing several of his pursuers, and was not
overpowered until he had been felled by
a heavy blow on the head which caused
a serious wound.
Parshenkoff was the leader in a num
ber of important encounters between the
police and Terrorists. He is believed to
be the man who killed Colonel Kalchak
of the police, in a fight that took place
on December 18, last, and he headed a
gang that killed four police officers in
the Okhta quarter of this city on Jan
uary .11, 1907. Several months ago he
made a most daring and brilliant escape
from arrest at Brazil Island, killing a
police captain and four officers in his
flight.
