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.

BLAKESLEY CASE UP
Man Accused of Blackmail to
Be Tried Again.
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. Among the graduates and
ex-pupils are a bank president, a bank
teller, a capitalist, an executor of a
$300,000 estate, lawyers, clerks, a Gen
eral Land Office clerk in Washington,
merchant tailors, blacksmiths, harness
makers, tailors, who own their own
shops; dressmakers, nurses and tele
phone girls; chief engineers in the In
dian Service, on steamships, in large
manufacturing plants and logging
camps; carpenters, blacKsmiths, tailors,
bakers, printers, harnessmakers. jour
neymen numbering more than 300, and
farmers over 400.
Since the establishment of the Che
mawa School, it has been visited by
four Presidents. President Garfield
called in 1880; President Harrison in
1891, President Roosevelt in 1904 and
President Taft visited the Institution
last year.

PORT TOWNS END. Wash.. Feb. 27.
The armored cruiser Washington, which
has been at the Diamond Point quaran

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. Since the
Washington sailed from Honolulu a short
time ago eight cases of smallpox have
broken out, resulting in four deaths, in
cluding one officer. Ensign Philip o. Grif

Surgeon J. B. Stoner. in command of

Vancouver and Yacolt. died early this

Committee Named, However, to Meet
Promoters and Commissioners.
Opposition to Use of High
ways Is Not Abated.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Fe. 27. (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.
