SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 29. The King
County grand Jury has at last secured
the. witness It wants fsomus Johnny
Clancy, king' bee of the entire gambling
fraternity of Seattle, official dictator of
' the City government, as administered by
Mayor Humes and Chief of Police Sulll
' tan,' boss politician of the First Ward,
.. toncert hall proprietor and race horse
' 'an.
Clancy has returned from California.
. Etc left here the day before the grand
Jury met. presumably to get out of
- me way or a suopoena. iasi rnaay m
brother Frank telegraphed to him that
the people were saying that he left town
to escape the grand Jury and he thought
It . would be better to come back here
and faoe the music.
- Clancy came back and he had not been
to the city an hour until a deputy sheriff
. sjubtttenaed him to appear before the
Jury. He reported to the Jury but was
excused until today.
To The Journal correspondent and to
many of his friends, Clancy stated that
tie had no fear of the grand jury.
. "When I go before that body I pro
Ms to tell the whole truth about
everything that I know." said he. "No
one aver accused Johnny Clancy of ly
ins;, and I'm too old now to have that ac
cusation placed at my door. Of course,
- there) have been a lot of rotten transac
tions In Seattle in regard to police
crafting and the like, and I know some
thing about It If I do and the Jury asks
tne to tell it, I shall do so most certain
ly. I have done nothing to be afraid or,
and therefore I shall tell all I know."
Friends of Clancy say he will do just
; What ha says. If he does there will be
things doing In this city before many
, days. ' If there Is any man on earth who
knows the ins and outs of the police oh
sartroent and the tenderloin world bet
ter than Johnny Clancy, whose word Is
law in that section, that wise man is
unknown.
Clancy has been associated with etor
1es of buying of members of the police
department and the City council, or rorc
lac other ' gamblers in Seattle to pay
hint pert'nt of their earnings, of dic
tating who shall and who shall, not run
Saloons ' In the tenderloin, and a thou
sand' Other things that have assisted
Jn giving fieattle the Wwrst name, moral
ly, -ef any city in the West.
; :.-Sm.1 Hot Time.
If Clancy tells all. he knows, it is
freely predicted that indictments will
be returned so swift that it will make
the heads of Seattle's citizens swim.
And those indictments will not be against
common patrolmen alone, but high offl-V
cars of the police department, "big
members of the City Council, who oc
cupy places in churches and society. For
many years this city has been notorious
for officials whose hands have ever been
reaching out for graft money. Johnny
Clancy .knows all these cases if anyone
does, and if he tells what he knows there
will be interesting reading for weeks to
come,
Clancy's sudden determination to come
back to Seattle while the grand Jury Is
In session has cast consternation among
a crowd of. office holders alleged to be
open corrupt lonlsts. They are afraid of
Clancy. ' They know if the grand Jury
gets Clancy started that he will give
up all he knows. Hence there la an un
easiness that has not been so manifest
since the grand Jury convened.
Bribe Money.
Late yesterday afternoon the jury
again began the investigation of potty
police grafting. It is said that Officer
Owen Roberts has been shown up In
rather a bad light. Henry F. Blake, a
prominent attorney, went before the Jury
today and accused Roberts with solicit
ing bribe money as late an yesterday.
Blake told the Jury that he had been
called to defend a woman who had been
arrested by Roberts. For some reason
the chief of police saw fit to release
the woman without trial. Roberts knew
of this and In some manner secured a
bench. -warrant for her arsest on another
charge.
According to the testimony Blake gave
before the Jury. Roberts approacled him
on the steps of the Jail yesterday and
told him he had a Warrant for the wo
man's arrest. Roberts said that he
knew Bluke had 'received a $25 fee from
the woman, and that if he (Blake) did
not give up half of the amount to him
(Roberts) that Roberts would serve the
warrant. Blake claims that he told
Roberts to serve the warrant If he want
ed to, and refused to give dim a cent.
Bold Sold Up.
If what Blake tells Is true, the solici
tation of that bribe is one of the boldest
yet charged against any member of the
police force. Blake declares that Roberts
did not know him; that he openly made
the offer to be bought under the very
nose of the chief of police, and went so
far as to demand it. Roberts will be
called tomorrow to tell his side of the
story. Chief of PWtee Sullivan has not
been officially made acquainted with the
facts In the case so far.
Today it was reported that John Con
sldlne, a gambler and concert hall owner
and former boss politician of the First
Ward, until Johnny Clancy came In pow
er, would arrive in the city on Friday
from California. Consldine left the city
Just before the grand jury convened.
and he has been badly wanted as a wit
ness. He Is returning. It Is said, on his
own hook and will. If asked to. co be
fore the jury 4$d tell what he knows
of police grafting.
Consldine is the man who shot and
killed William L. Meredith, former chief
of police of Seattle ,ln June of 1901,
and was afterward turned loose on the
charge, he succeeding in proving that
he killed Meredith In self-defense. Be
fore the tragedy, Consldine was a power
in Seattle politics. He and Meredith
fell out over the division of spoils col
lected from gamblers and fallen women.

Assault on Creation of

(Journal Special Service.)
SALEM. Jan. 29. There was a mell
- f brimstone in the Senate this morn
ing when McGinn charged, in a (lery
speech, that Senate bill 153, which had
been passed under suspension of the
rules, was an attempt to railroad a new
(Office Into being, and foist an added ex-
pen "on- the state.
At the time the. bill was presented, It
was claimed that it was simply an effort
to re-enact the present law creating the
Stats office of land agent, defining his
duties and fixing his (salary. McGinn
declared that the old law made no pro
pyls! onor a deputy., at a salary of 11,300,
Which is In Che new bill.
Pierce, of Umatilla, who Introduced
the measureseconded the motion for re
consideration. He said the bill was
handed to him and he was toid It was a
copy of the present law. If thj stats
t went was wrong, he did not know it.
Pierce said that when he Introduced
the bill he had not read the present law.
The measure was .reconsidered and re-
frrdto - the judiciary committee. It
provides for a state land agent with a
.. salary of f 1,800 a year and a deputy at
f 1,100 a year.

N
Matter Under Considera
tion by Officials
The tax levy for Multnomah County
for 1903 will be 36 mills.
The delinquent tax list for 1901 will
not be republished.
The above are two sentences which
contain the facts so anxiously awaited by
the taxpayers of Multnomah County. The
levy tli In year Is the largest on record,
last yeur's levy being but 28 mills. It
did not, however, meet the expenses of
the county, and at the close of 1902 there
was a deficiency. This year's levy, it Is
said, will not all be used, unless some
thing unforeseen occurs In the way of a
great calamity, it there Is a balance
left. It will be appropriated on the half
million debt of the county.
Summary of the bevy.
'j .if levy for the year is as follows:
State. 5 mills; State School, 6 mills;
Port of Portland. 1 5-10 mills; Ltbrary,
t-10 mills; City of Portland, 11 mlllB;
School District, 4 6-10. Over these levies
the county board has no Jurisdiction
whatever, and simply makes the levy as
per orders.
The only two levies made by the
County Commissioners are the general
fund and the road fund. The general
fund levy Is 6 7-10, and the road
fund levy is 3-1-J 0. The general
fund levy will bring IntQ the treasury
$327,155.97 and the road levy 1102,528.88.
Of the general fund levy there is a
discount of 3 per cent on the prompt
payment of taxes, which. If paid, will
decrease the amount of cash somewhat
On the other hand, however, there may
be some delinquent taxes paid, which
will Just about balance the amount.
Judge Webster stated this morning
that the levy will pay all expenses and
that there may be a balance left. He
stated also that one reason why the
levy was placed at such a high figure
was that it Is expected that one or two
ferries will have to be placed In opera
tion this year, and there will be some
permanent Improvements in the shape of
graveled and macadamized county roads.
Just where these latter Improvements
will be made Is not known yet.
Delinquent Matter.
Speaking of the delinquent tax list for
1901. Judge Webster said: I have de
cided to not republish the list, but In
stead have prepared a bill which I will
have passed by the Legislature as a
curative act. It will cure the mistake
in the publication of the list, and will
put an end to the matter. If I had the
list republished. It might lead to endless
litigation, and I have decided to take the
course stated."

LESTER WELDING'S
SENSATIONAL LETTER
Notwithstanding the Tepeated rumors,
that an amalgamation will be consum
mated whereby the Northwest Learue
and the Pacific Coast League will Join
hands and carry on business under one
management. It has been ofllclally .stated
that the proposal for. such a proposition
was suggested by the Northwest League,
but not seriously considered by the mag
nates of the new association- It Is a
mater of common gossip that President
Lucas of tine Northwest league, 'realiz
ing that his Fortland base.bal.l club was
in Jeopardy, on account of the advent
of the new Portland tearn, was anxious
to make ,erUirrtQ t i i,
ttonr s&laitg ' -an !tn-4)s" agreement,'
whereby Loth would profit financially, in
stead of having baseball affairs in a
bellicose state, much to the detriment of
the sport. To these proposals the stock
holders of the flew club were not ad
verse, although they did not relish the
Idea of making peace this season, since
a good sum of money had been spent
towards luting up a team, railroad con
tracts having been entered Into stnd an
unpublished schedule of games "arranged.
The directors' of the new club suggested
the advisability , of waiting until next
year, a peace protocol being signed
meanwhile, when both leagues Join their
fortunes In the. great national game.
The entire matter, however, Is being
considered and a settlement 'is looked for
any day. It will surprise -nobody If the
deal Is made.

How Preston Was
Sent to Defeat
(Journal Special Service.)
OLTMPIA. Wash., Jn. 29. -The break
In the Kink County delegation which
wrought Preston's ruin occurred yester
day afternoon st 4 o'clock when a ma
Jority of 24 Republicans from King met
and decided to notify the Seattle candi
date that they would no longer consider
themselves bound by their written agree
ment, made a . week ago, to remain out
of caucus until Saturday night
This action of the King County dele
gation was precipitated yesterday at 2
o'clock, when Vlr. Preston met his re
calcitrant 'supporters face to face. Sena
tors Van De Vantcr and Smith, the lat
ter President of the Senate, Informed
Mr. Preston that while they had loyally
supported him. yet they believed that
further delay In the caucus call would
be disastrous to King County's Interests
and that It would militate their own po
litical welfare. The seven Republican
senators hold for another session and
they doubtless felt a desire to strengthen
themselves for the fight two years from
now when a senator from the state Is to
bn elected to succeed Senator Poster of
Tacoma.
Mr. Preston at once Informed the dele
gation that he would not consent to their
withdrawing from their agreement to re
main out of a caucus until Saturday. He
said that King County hnd Instructed
them to use every effort to elect him
Senator and that by their present action
they were proving themselves disloyal to
him and disloyal to their county. He
broadly Intimated that they were traitors
to Seattle.
Preston was emphatic to a degree and
at the end of his passionate speech he
nearly collapsed.
Preston's heated remarks caused a sen
sation. Senator Van De Vanter, the
leading Senator .from King, announced
that he would cut loose from the dele
gation and withdrew. Then Senator Kin
near and Representative K. Dllllng In
dulged In a wordy warfare which was
only prevented from ending In a fist fight
by the action of the other members. Ten
of the members left the caucus vowing
to stand by Preston to the end. Four
teen remained. Including the seven sena
tors. These orgsnised yesterday afternoon
and notified Mr. Preston that they were
through with him.

DEATHS.
FUMIGATION OF CITY SCH00I5
During the month of January Dr.
Biersdort of the Health. Department.
has had the Homestead School in South
Portland fumigated to eradicate the germs
of scarlet fever. Hill's Military Acad
emy has' been twice fumigated-? during
the same period, to tne great distraction
of scarlet fever germs.
"It is my belief." said Dr. Blersdorf
this morning, '.'that each of the city
schools should be fumigated, at least
once avmonth during theprevalence of
disease.; It would seem that this might
weljl be done by- school Janitors, and I
have urged the matter as one that -might
be carried out by the Board of Educa
tion;" . T
