WARQN FORCED BYWOHEN I 1 ii? - ; V 1 Campaign Against Dancehall Fizzles and Rink Proprietor Threatens to Combine Preaching With Vaudeville. SEATTLE, Wash.. Feb. 27. (Special. The Kin? County grand jury, as a direct result of the activity of the Women's Clubs, will continue in session several days. Special Prosecutor William H. White announced last night that the grand jury would adjourn February a, but deliberations have been prolonged, and the end is not yet in sight. The women aim to suppress the cigar ette and to secure prosecution of pro prietors of cafes who wink at violations of the liquor law. Taking the cue from the clubs. Superior Judge J. T. Ronald instructed the grand Jury to consider cases in which evidence had been sub mitted to the court. For months the cigarrette law has been a deal letter in Seattle. It Is understood generally that Prosecuting Attorney George H. Vanderveer regards it as non existent, and declines to consider any cases under it. His position has been fortified by a decision of the Superior Court for Spokane County, holding the law to be unconstitutional. In Seattle anybody has been able to buy cigarettes openly. Drinks Served In DisguUe. A similar condition has been observable in restaurants, on Sundays. In scores of places drinks thinly disguised have been served. Beer comes in tall glasses, with straws, as if it were amber lemonade; and cockstails have been served in shal lop cups elaborately heaped about with Ice. None but the most unsophisticated could fail to be "on." and the dream of Seattle as' a "closed town" has been as unreal as the vision of a community en tirely pure and innocent because the ten derloin has disappeared. When the women got after the cigar ettes, it was as if a brass band had marched down Second avenue heralding the news to the world. Two hours be fore the learned court delivered his in structions to the grand Jury, every cigar ette disappeared from the downtown stand3. They are not to be found there now. But the man who wants to smoke cigarettes has no difficulty in finding them. Since the grand jury has known all about the contempt for the cigarette and liquor laws. It is not difficult to imagine that the prolonged inquiry may become farcical. There is evidence on every hand, and there, has been all the while. A week ago jocular critics were remarking that the principal occupation of the jurymen 'was to eat apples and sauerkraut, and draw 'their pay and all the while the rigarette and liquor law was so honored !n the breach as not to be observed it all. Dancehall Closed Two Hours. If the Women's Clubs make no better progress than with Dreamland Rink they might as well abandon the fight. Dream land has been running for 15 months, under the direction- of Mike Fisher, erst while baseball magnate. It Ib a dancehall, patronized largely by clerks, servant girls and young people in humble circum stances. At the suggestion of the Wom en's Clubs, it was closed and it remained closed two hours. Fisher has been In dicted for admitting male and female persons under 21 to a public dance. In his behalf, it is urged that the police of Seattle did the same thing a short time ago at their annual ball. On account of the agitation against Dreamland. Fisher has announced that he would run a combination church and vaudeville entertainment, with a sermon, a song and a "stunt" to enable his patrons to enjoy themselves. In some quarters, he has been taken seriously, and at least one preacher has offered to sign for an engagement to deliver addresses. Fisher declares that if Dreamland is closed, he will carry out his programme. He proposes to employ D. E. Dugdale, the corpulent baseball manager, as belfry boy, even if he has to enlarge the hole In the belfry: and his aides who pass the plate will wear bathing suits without pockets. Sheriff to Be Prosecuted. While there are absurdities chargeable to the grand juny. a sober phase has de veloped in the employment of Assistant Attorney-General George A. Lee to prose cute the charges against Sheriff Robert Hodge. Lee came to the front promi nently In his conduct of the Schively im peachment before the special session of the Legislature last year, and his reten tion Is likely to be a serious matter for Hodge. The Sheriff has been Indicted on two counts,- He. is charged with having released a prisoner, and with having profited by . boarding prisoners at the County Jail. The ratter accusation deals with the board of Federal prisoners and transients lodged in the King County Jail and the profit is made in the difference between the actual cost of the food and the sum allowed the Sheriff. It has always been regarded as pin money for the sheriffs, and in Hodge's case It has amounted to About $5000. The commissioners made a demand for restitution; Hodge refused, and was indicted. In the campaign Hodge repeatedly de clared that he would be satisfied with his salary of $300 a month. AT 83, MAN CLOGS AS YOUTH "Uncle Sj" Davis, Dayton Pioneer, Yet Able to Dance. DAYTON, Wash.. Feb. 27. (Special.) "Uncle Cy" Davis, 83 years old, pioneer of the early '70s. surprised a party of 30 people gathered yesterday to celebrate the 69th birthday anni versary of Mrs. John Hubbard, by giving an exhibition of buck and wing dancing that might shame many a vaudeville artist. When somebody suggested a novel amusement. "Uncle Cy" volunteered to give the guests "something different." Shedding his coat, the silvery-haired octogenarian skipped into the middle of the room and for ten minutes in dulged in the execution of such fancy steps as the double shuffle, buck and wing, pigeon wing and heel and toe. Mrs. Davis, who is SO, is still able to execute with agility and grace the most intricate quadrille. ANNOUNCEMENTS.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY ACTS Second Hearing of St. Helens Case Alleging Extortion of Money From County Treasurer May Be Set for May Term. That "Toots" Blakesley. until recently e political factor of Columbia County, will face a Jury again on a charge of blackmail and attempting to extort money from County Treasurer Quick was the word brought to Portland yesterday by Sheriff Martin White. It is the intention of District Attorney Tongue to set the case for the May term of the Circuit Court. Blakea'.ey was a deputy sheriff at St. Helens and was indicted on a charge ac cusing him of sending a letter to Treas urer Quick last June, signing the name of Jack McCarty to the communication and demanding that a large sum of money be sent to the writer, . former convict. The letter veiled a threat of bodily in Jury in case of refusal. It was mailed at Houlton. and directed Quick to de liver the money to Blakesley. The County Treasurer had received other letters of similar import and said he had furnished the money at every demand. A relative of Treasurer Quick found the last communication and conferred with the County Treasurer about it. In stead of sending the money the case was presented to the grand jury, and when Blakesley was brought before that body he was required to furnish samples of his handwriting. District Attorney Tongue contended that these were iden tical with the chirography of the threat ening letter. When arrested Blakesley boasted that he would never be con victed. The first trial of the case was had last October, John H. Stephenson and B. E. Haney, of Portland, appearing as attor neys for the defendant. When the state had closed its case the defense refused to place any witnesses on the stand and the Jury failed to reach a verdict, it being contended that the letter did not contain such a threat as would "scare" a reason able courageous man. Blakesley comes from a prominent fam ily of Columbia County and one which has exercised great political power there. CHEMAWA SCHOOL AGED 30 Institution Celebrates Birthday. Four ' Presidents Have Visited It. CHEMAWA. Or., Feb. 27. (Special.) The Chemawa Indian School cele brated the 30th anniversary of its es tablishment Friday. As is the custom of the school, the employes and pupils of the institution assembled in the school chapel in the evening. More than 40 impromptu speeches were made by the pupils of the school, showing their appreciation of what the school and the Government has done for them and their race. The Chemawa school was established by Captain M. C. Wilkinson, U. S. A., February 25, 1880, at Forest Grove, and the school was moved from there to its present location in 1883. Chemawa was established almost simultaneously with the Carlisle School. The records show that Oregon's school has had more industrial suc cesses than any school in the Indian Service.

The armored cruiser Washington, which has been at the Diamond Point quaran tine station for the last ten days, was or dered Saturday to proceed at once to the Angel Island quarantine station In San Francisco Bay, and will sail during the night. This order was issued when it was. as certained that the case of fever report ed yesterday was developing into small pox. The Washington was released from quarantine four days ago, but the yellow flag was raised again yesterday when the suspicious case was reported.

(Special.) Representatives of the commercial bodies of Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Elma, and Montesano met in conference at the City Hall here today and after a discussion of the franchise of the pro posed Grays Harbor interurban went on record as opposed to granting right of way on the county roads. The only contention of the meeting came with the suggestion that,' if the County Commissioners stood firm in their deter mination to grant a franchise along coun ty roads, the franchise- should be amended as suggested by the meeting today. This suggestion was opposed with the plea for "no compromise," it being contended that the majority of those at the meeting, who had been selected by the people in Chehalis County, were opposed to any franchise wherein the county should give up any portion of its highways. Road Important as Street. Thomas Harlan, of Oakville, declared that the county roads were as important to the rural districts as a principal street was to a city. J. W. Strubel. speaking for the Elma delegation, declared that although his city wanted the interurban, It was not wanted over county roads. F. H. Lamb, of Hoquiam, caused dis cussion when he read resolutions adopted by the Hoquiam Commercial Club, which stipulated conditions under which the franchise should be allowed. Opponents of Mr. Lamb contended that modifica tions were of secondary consideration and that the point was to keep the railroad off the highways. Committee Is Named. W. J. Patterson, of this city, said that the appearance of two delegations from Oakville, in addition to the large number of local men above the stipulated num ber, had led to hints of "gang rule.' Promoters of the interurban were local men who, as well as those present, had aided in building up this section, and for that reason were entitled to more than a resolution flatly declaring against a road on the highways, which he termed "direct slap in the face." To avoid this he suggested that each city name a committee of five, to join as one body and confer with the pro moters and the County Commissioners. This suggestion was accepted and with the adoption the convention closed. C. C. Quackenbush, who is promoting the Seattle-Aberdeen Interurban was in avidence only as shown, the motion of J. C. Hogan, of this city, which was car ried, to the effect that if a franchise were to be granted the Commissioners be requested to delay definite action 30 days.
