struction of the Lawrence-avenue in

the carnival of crime and thievery in
the City Hall in which $30,000,000 has
been stolen from the people in the
last two years, according - to a state
ment made by a grand juror.
Kour of the Indictments were in
"shale rock graft" in section U and 10
were reindictments in the concrete
"graft" in section N.
"Taxpayers have been mulcted of
J30.Ouu.0UO in the last two and one
half years. Conditions in the City Hall
are rotun," is the statement credited
to a member of tlte grand jury.
very Contract Tainted.
'Every contract that" came before
us was tainted with graft. Testimony
revealed to us an orgy of extravagance
and reckless expenditure. Instead jt
the city officials trying to save money
for the taxpayers, their sole purpose
seems to have been to see how far
they 'could go how much they could
make .the- city pay for everything it
bought.'-'
Indictments are found against four
principal defendants John Krickson,
City Jnirineer: Michael H. McGovern,
contractor; Paul Redieske, ex-Deputy
Commissioner of Public. Works, and
Kalpli A. Honnell, Assistant City Kn
' gineer. All except Erickson were in,
dicted a short time ago in connection
with an alleged attempt to defraud
the city of about $1:60.000 In the build
ings of "section N" of tho Lawrence
avenue sewer.- The "shalerock" scan
dal also was unearthed In the con
struction of "section L" of the same
sewer.
The city paid the McGovern Company
more than $45,u00 for the removal of a
large tiuantity of so-called shalerock.
Upon examination' by experts, it was
stated that the "shalerock" was noth
ing more than hard clay, and offered
little obstruction.
McGovern was the contractor In
charge of the construction, and the
man who was paid for the removal of
the "rock." .Bonnell, certified that It
was rock, and Krickson approved Bon
nell's decision. Itedieske then put his
stamp of approval on the work and the
city paid the money.

Seven others Included In the grand
jury Indictments are Otto Nlehoff, Max
I-andKiith and George Moore, employes
of the McGovern Company, and John C.
Paikes. Richard Tiurke, John McNich

itobert Green, a foreman for the Mc
Govern Company, who was indicted
last week, was not Included In the
second Indictments because, it Is said,
be testified before the grand jury.
In its ltnnl report the grand Jury
stated that it had heard 195 cases, of
ifhich It returned 141 true bills and 45
no hills and passed 10 other cases to
the nxt grand jury. It is said that

PARIS FLOOD IS OVER
Streets Are Clear of Water and Ac
tivities Resumed.
PAKIS. Keh. 5. The river Seine Is
today more than 13 feet below its flood
maximum and the city has begun to
'assume Its normal appearance. Tho
streets are clear of water and the
wreckage left by the flood is rapidly
disappearing.
Above and below the. city the waters
have returned to the river bed and the
householders are cleaning and drying
their homes. Train service In all di
rections Is being restored and some of
the factorles have resumed operations.
In many quarters the gas and electric
light service has been renewed, but
it will be many days before the trans
portation facilities. telegraph, tele
phone and other public utilities are In
complete operation.
The hospitals and other places of
refuge, as well as the soup kitchens,
continued crowded today and the dis
tribution of food and clothing proceeded
systematically.
Premier Brland. presenting the flood
situation before the cabinet today, ex
pressed the belief that the effects of
the disaster would be somewhat less
grave than had been anticipated. He
felt confident that the measures pre
scribed to prevent an epidemic would
be effective. The cabinet decided to
ask Parliament to grant new credits
for the furtherance of the work of res
toration. Tomorrow, by agreement, the author
ities and relief societies will dlscon
tiue the promiscuous distribution of
relief supplies, confining the list of
those- aided In each arrondissement to
the residents in that particular com
mune. Many industrial concerns are
allowing thi ir employes half pay for
the time they are in idleness.

TOLKI0. O.. Feb. 5. President Lewis
of the United Mineworkers said today
tht there would be a general suspen
sion of work In the pltujaiaoua- field
V" '
of the country April 1, .if agreements
on the wage scale were not reached ry
that date. This, will not Include Canada
and four Western States in which the
present contracts do not expire April 1,
according to Peter Patterson, of Pernie,
B. C, member of the international ex
ecutive board of the United Mineworltr
era.
This "board'met here today. President
Lewis having notified the members
When the wage conference adjourned
last night, in a deadlock over the ad
mission, of the Illinois miners. Lewis
said the situation in the central com
petitive field would not be considered,
and that no statement would be given
out after the meeting.
"The situation as it now stands will
be taken up by me Individually," he
said.
The four states excepted are Wash
ington. Montana, Colorado and
Wyoming-. In these states contracts do
not expire until- September. In British
Columbia and Alberta contracts con
tinue until April, 1311. Nova Scotia is
now involved in a strike.
"We will not violate our agreements
with the operators." said Mr. Patterson,
"and new contracts cannot be negoti
ated until the present ones expire."
WORK DEMANDED IN BILL
STARTLING MEASVUE MAY BE
. BEFORE PARLIAMENT.
If Municipality Does Not Furnish
Job, Defendant Must Be Kept
on Taxes, Is Provision.
LONDON, Feb.- S-(SpeciaI.) Uneasi
ness is expressed In many quarters on
account of the determination of the labor
party to press tho "right to work" bill
before the new Parliament. The meas
ure caused small concern In the old Par
liament because the labor party was too
weak to compel respect. Though the
party is weaker numerically now. It Is
much stronger because of the need .of
the radicals for votes to support the
ministry. Expressed in a sentence, the
right to work biil consists of a proposal
to force local authorities to find work for
unemployed In several jurisdiction.
Even in these days of so-called revo
lutionary proposals it is doubtful if a
more radical scheme was ever presented
to the House of Commons. It requires
Borough and County Council to keep
registers of unemployed, and if work
cannot be found an applicant and his
dependents must be maintained at pub
lic expense for sMx months. Residence
place entitles a citizen to apply for work
which must be provided In six weeks or
the citizen dependent will begin to live
on taxes. Moreover, work must afford
wages and hours of labor not lower than
those of the standard In that district.
Conservatives calculate that this bill.
If It becomes a law, will cost the country
more than 30,000,000 ($150,000,OOOJ . an
nually. TARIFF TREATY PASSED
German Vice - Chancellor Tells
Wherein His Government Won.
BERLIN, Feb. 8. The Reichstag
without debate today adopted unmodi
fied the bill approving the Govern
ment's tariff arrangement with the
United States. But for the protest of
a few of the extreme Conservatives
the measure would have passed all
three readings unanimously.
Vice-Chancellor Delbrueck, in intro
ducing the bill, gave a brief recital of
the course of the negotiations and said
the United States had demanded a
number of concessions, the granting of
which would have been an encroach
ment on Germany's legislative and po
lice autonomy. Particularly was this
true In respect to the veterinary po
lice regulations. He said:
"It was our first duty to leave the
United States In no doubt that would
Interpose insuperable resistance to
such attempts to attack our legisla
tion and policing measures In connec
tion with the tariff negotiations."
Discussing the bill Itself, the Vice
Chancellor pointed out that the Ger
man Government had given the agree
ment such form that. If the United
States failed to adhere to the conces
sions made, Germany could shape her
course accordingly.
Herr Delbrueck further assured the
Reichstag that the Government could
expect that Germany's constitutional
relations with the United States would
guarantee a conciliatory and broad
minded observance of the agreement-

More Join Machinists' Strike.
SOUTH BETHLEHEM. Pa., Feb. 6.
Committees representing the 1200 striking
machinists of the Bethlehem Steel Works
who quit work yesterday because the
company refused to pay them time and a
half for extra work, succeeded today in
inducing about 400 more machinists to join
them. The leaders estimate that between
ISOO and 1S00 men are now out. The spe
cial policemen employed by the company
have had no trouble In maintaining order.
The strikers were disappointed with the
result of their Interview yesterday after
noon with Charles Schwab, president of
the company. Mr. Schwab asked the men
to return to work and then submit their
grievances, promising thwn an adjust
ment In 10 days. This the men refused
i,to do.

lng -was burned. It --was occupied by
the Aberdeen ship Chandlery Company
which Gohl had declared he would put
out of business. Gohl Is a man of vio
lent temper and unrestrained anger.
y Any one who crossed his will, whether
iin union matters or .not, was promised
a speedy death and Gohl invariably re
peated his threats to other people. He
boasted to several people that he would
kill Hoffman and Hedberg and upon his
"death list" were Included many promi
nent people, even the Mayor fing one
of these whose life he threat.fted.
Hedberg Visitor at CaUin.
The search for a motive In the mur
der of Hedberg has brought out the
fact that Hedberg was alive in his
company. This duck cabin, which was
built on a scow and. moved from
place to place, has developed into six
cabins in the reports circulated, about
the city during the recent excitement,
but the police declare there is but one
cabin and that It had been moved to
the different locations. Gohl often in
vited sailors and other people to go on
hunting excursions with him and in
many Instances this i sthe last that has
been heard of them. Locally the man
is regarded as a mental pervert with
a lust for power and a desire to make
all men fear him.
Food Is Almost Gene.
When the Victoria arrived at Iliamna
Bay the food of the castaway's was al-
most exhausted. They came through
their ordeal well, the chief suffering
being from the Intense, cold, the tem
perature on many days falling to 40
degrees below zero. Tents, blankets,
plentiful clothing and abundance of
wood supplied from the timbered hills
were insufficient to keep the people
warm. There were 30 members of the
crew and eight passengers.
, Signal Light Seen.
Captain McGilvray, of the steamer
Portland, which arrived from Alaska
several days ago, said today, after
learning of the wreck of the Farallon,
that early on the morning of January
20, just after the Portland left Sel
dovia, on the southeast shore of Cook
Inlet, he saw a signal light at sea, and
headed the Portland in the direction
of the flash. However, it was not re
peated, and in the darkness the Port
land could see no vessel in distress.
Would Not Alarm by Report.
Captain McGilvray, on his arrival
here, made no report of chasing this
phantom light, thinking his vague
story would only increase the anxiety
of the people already distracted over
the missing Farallon. Now Captain
McGilvray thinks the signal flame may
have been made by the small boat
which put out from Iliamna to seek
assistance.
Hedberg was quite Intimate with
Gchl and had been on several hunting
excursion with him. He may have
known of the disappearance of other
men, and, like other people in the city,
have suspected Gohl. One of the rea
sons given by Gohl in his boasts that
he would get people was that they "had
something on him."
"Dead Men Tell NoTales.'
'I will put him where he can't talk,"
he often said in talking of men whom
he was set against. Immediately after
Gohl's arrest scores of accusations were
made against him by people in the city
though the. members of the Sailors'
Union of the Pacific stood solidly by
him, and It is reported that the union
engaged a San Francisco attorney to
come here and defend the man. This
cannot be confirmed. .
In the County Jail today Gohl de
clared that If any attempt was made to
press the charge against him he would
divulge secrets about men "higher up"
In the union that would cause the
greatest scandal organized labor had
ever known. Immediately after this
threat the accusations so freely mada
against him in some quarters ceased.
Public Cannot See Gohl.
The county authorities have forbid
den any one to see Gohl, and the report
of his utterances comes through at
tendants at the pail. The Prosecuting
Attorney, Will Campbell, also refuses
to discuss the case before the prisoner
Is aralgned in court. Gohl's attorney,
A. M. Abel, of this city, said today that
the first move he would make in the
case would be to seek a change of
venue to Lewis or Thurston counties,
so that his client may have a fair trial.
Mrs. Gohl, speaking for her husband,
gave out a statement this afternoon to
the effect that Wilson Buttner, the at
torney 'who first took Gohl's case and
who was reported to have withdrawn
from it. did not do so willingly but
was discharged by his client for cause.
The search of the decolate reaches of
the harbor near the mouth of Indian
Creek continued today, but without the
finding of Hoffman's body, which is now
being sought by the authorities. Depu
ties armed jwith long poles poked through
the mud seeking a buried corpse. The
search will be continued until all the
shallower portions of the harbor have
bean, gone over. Hedberg's body was
buried . in Potter's field this afternoon,
there being no ceremony of any nature
held.
Public Sentiment Cools.
Public sentiment here Is gradually
cooling and- it is not believed that Gohl
has murdered all the men found in the
bay during the last five years, as at first
charged.
A. C. Girard, ex-Coroner, who held of
fice at the time of the tamoua "floater
fleet" of 14 bodies three years ago. said
today that he believed many of the
bodies found were those of loggers and
sailors who had beer? drugged and rob
bed and then rolled from the wharves.
"I examined the bodies minutely," he
said, "and found no signs' of violence. It
was also known at that time that knock
out drops were used in some of the re
sorts, and as nearly all the bodies found
had the pockets of their clothing turned

a Vacation

The stomach should have a rest when
It Is tired out and irritated from dys
pepsia and indigestion- One should not
call upon the stomach in this condition
to do its full and complete duty. What
the stomach needs is natural assistance

When you feel as though your stom

when your tongue is coated and your
appetite gone, it is high time to send
your stomach on a vacation.
The stomach is constantly coming in
contact with foreign substances, which
Jt must reduce in form to give strength
and health to the other organs of the
body. , It is the commissary department
of the human system and must furnish
from such supplies as come to it all
that such a system demands.
If the stomach becomes deranged
and cannot furnish all that is neces
sary, it weakens the entire machinery
of man - and is itself placed out of
commission. It cannot cure itself be
cause the curative powers of Nature
receive their force from the stomach so
that ,if the stomach Issues Imperfect
nourishment it cannot receive perfect
curative means for its own benefit,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets impart all
the power, vigor and strength neces
sary to the stomach. They do the
stomach's work and. without calling on
this organ for assistance.

Glavis Attorney to Inspect Bpmdles
of Documents Brandels' Plea '
for Further Time Falls
on Deaf Ears.
WASHINGTON. Feb. E. A brief pub
lic session of the Balllnger-Pinchot In
vestigating committee was held this
morning, following the receipt from the
Interior Department of two bundles of
documents of evidence called for by Mr.
Brandels, the attorney, representing Louis
R. Glavis.
Brandels had- complained yesterday of
the delay of the Interior Department in
forwarding these papers, and the com
mittee decided this morning to dispose
of them at once by fixing rules under
which they could be examined by coun
sel. Following a session of an hour. Chair
man Nelson announced that the commit
tee had adopted a resolution providing
that the papers should remain in tho
custody of the clerk, who would make a
complete schedule of them and allow the
attorneys to peruse them in his presence
so as to determine which should be of
fered In evidence.
Postponement Is Refused.
Mr. Brandels said he bad only a few
hours to remain in the city and would
like to begin inspection of the papers at
once. Chairman Nelson said it would be
necessary first for the clerk to make tne
schedule. Senator Flint, however, of
fered a compromise by suggesting that,
as fast as the papers were scheduled,
they should be ''turned over to the at
torneys. This was agreed to. but it was
announced that ' the attorneys alone
should have access to the papers, and
that no one else would be permitted In
the room while they were examining
them. Brandels said he would have to
be absent from the city on February 10
and 11, and suggested that the hearing
might go over until Monday, February
14. The committee, however, adhered to
Its purpose to resume the hearings next
