- TACOMA, April 24. Although the
Senatorial eonteat la ended and Levi
Ankenr baa been elected; although the
Legislative eaalon la over and the rail
road have triumphed, and. although the
surface of Washington's political mill
pond 1 tranquil, the tight between Gov
ernor George MeBrlde and thoae who
oppose him ! raging as fiercely aa It did
three month ago.
Certainly never before In the history
Of Washington, perbapa never before in
njr Western state, has a Republican
Governor found hlmaelf so completely
4andlcapped by the actions of hla own
party. George MeBrlde, nominally Gov
ernor of Waahlngton, truly atanda
trembling' between the political devil
and the deep sea of absolute dread. lie
real Is a his peril yet fear to act. .On
the one hand he Is goaded forward by
thoae to whom he owes allegiance and
who have given value received In votea
and campaign material.' These now de
mand that promises made by McUride in
lb beat of conflict and based on the sup
position that he would win. be made
good. Bat on the other hand he recog

opposition and be trembles aa he con

likely to alight, no matter where he

One of the smoothest pieces of politi
cal Jobbery that waa ever perpetrated
In the State of Washington was de
veloped aa a foil to the Governor's ambi
tion to be a dictator.
1 It Is the reult of this which Inspires
dread. The Ankeny-Rallroad combina
tion was in the ascendency In the Legis
lature and passed many measures which
wer In reality for the public good, but
because of the fast that MeBrlde and

such a degree that he resolved upo'n
personal revenge. This vengeance he
wreaked by promiscuous use of the veto,
slaughtering measures of the opposition
, , right and left .Exercising due caution,
he waited until the session was ended
before getting in his deadly- work.
. But expecting some auch explosion
from the chief executive of state, the
Ankeny-Rallroad - ceo Die were nrenarpd
. Quite early in the session they had
made arrangements which, In compari
son, caused the Governor's methods of
vengeance to resemble the celebrated and
mythical 80-cent piece.

'ton, the Governor to have the power to and H.

there was little opposition to the St
Louis appropriation bill. Thi might
have been considered suspicious later in
the game, but .Mr. MeBrlde felt confl-
, dent of his power to win at that time
and little thought was given the Inci
dent.
. But the opposition has gotten in its
deadly work. That fact was not made
plain until after the MeBrlde veto par
nival.
Then It suddenly developed that the
C Louis appropriation bill was Im
properly drawn and lacked a clause en
abling the money appropriated for use
By the commissioners to be drawn from
the State Treasury. There Is a full com

been promised, but who can do nothing
Gnersl Passenger Agent A. L. Craig, of
the O. It. A H. Company, who acted as
host during the railroad excursion taken
by the member of the Transcontinental
Passenger Association up the Columbia
River and return to this city yesterday,
believe the meeting of prominent rail
road men Just completed In Portland
will result In great and lasting benefit
o the Paclflo Northwest generally.
"I have ascertained from personal con
versation with members of the associa
tion," Mr. Craig said today to The Jour
nal, "that many of them did not have
even a faint Idea of the importance and
wealth of this section of the Unloa .The
present visit has been a revelation! to
them and has taught them that thai Pa
cific Northwest States are a mine of
practically undeveloped resources. They
have learned also that we are as far ad
vanced in every way as are the people
of the East They will advertise this
fact, and that will mean a great deal
to Us."
Pleased. With Portland.
Many members of the association have
spoken very highly of the treatment, they
received while In Portland, and Mr.
Craig seemed to vole the general senti
ment when he saW:
"Member, of the Transcontinental As
sociation are pleased and gratified at the
reception they received in this city and
at the honor that was done them when
such distinguished men as H. W. Scott.
W. P. Kenton and other members of the
committee representing the Lewis and
Clark Fair paid them an official visit.
The feeling 1 very friendly toward the
Fair and it Is certain that as liberal
rates will be made to Portland In 1905
bs Is possible without Injuring the local
business of any line. In this regard
the Fair is bound to suffer slightly from
effects of the operation of ticket scalp
ers, for the roads have to protect them
selves against ythes sharks, and if the
tickets are made to apply locally the
results will be an Immense loss to the
roads.
in speaking of the failure to get to
gether on' a common basis of Interpre
tation of the Elkins law, Mr. Craig
said:
The Xlklns Troubl.
"There Is a general feeling of disap
pointment that it was not possible for
the roads to see their way to a detlnite
understanding along this line. How
ever, It is certain that each company
will strictly obey the law, as It Is con
strued by that particular system's at
torney, and, while there la certain to
be trifling differences for a time, all
things will work out after a while.
Those who r mistaken will discover the
error of their way, and those who are
right will become sure enough to stand
firmly where they are.
"I do not bellev the Elklns matter
will hare any particular effect on the
railroad situation in the Northwest."

spent muuh of their idle time m dis
cusslon of the celebrated Elklns rate
law, which has, it is claimed, caused
more trouble In railroad circles in
single month than anything else In the
way of legislation that was ever at
tempted. But it is asserted that Its ef
fects have been felt outside of railroad
because the funds which were to '.iave circles and that high-salaried officials In
been theirs to diffuse are beyond their the employ of large industrial concerns
reach. Now they are clamoring for an as tramc managers nave round them
extra session to amend the bill. They
are not only clamoring but they have
lined up their forces and are making
aemanas almost threats.
And the Ankeny-Rallroad people, who
knew what they were doing from the
first, are sitting back and laughing at
the sorry figure the Governor cuts dodg
ing tne alternate cross Are from his own
forces. For they know that' If MeBrlde
calls an extra session they will be en
abled to do Just what they have planned
to do pass the vetoed bills over the
Governor s head.
, And Governor MeBrlde knows it. too.
That is why he is wondering which bed
selves suddenly without an excuse for
existence in their former capacities as
a result of the law now In force.
It Is claimed by railroad men that
under former condition the employ
ment of these men became a necessity
that In many respects no longer pre
vails. While rate cutting was supposed
to have been largely eliminated, it Is
well understood that rates were manipu
lated In a variety of ways, and in order
to get these concessions It was essential
that men experienced in railroad affairs,
particularly Jn rate making and routing
of business, and with a full knowledge

SEATTLE, April IK. Mayor Hume
and Chief of Police Sullivan have de
liberately violated their pledge to
cleanse the old tenderloin district
Months ago they promised the busi
ness men of the city that they would at
once put the official scrubbing brush and
scouring soap Into commission, and as
the Mayor once stated It .would "make
the district blossom as a rose."
Two of the vilest dive that disgraced
the old tenderloin when It was In its
palmiest days, are still running Just aa
openly, and In Just as brazen defiance
of both state and city laws a of yore.
Every subordinate officer, every de
tective, every patrolman In Chief Sulli
van's department, knows it. Every cit
izen who will take the trouble to In
vestigate, may ascertain It for himself.
Intoxicating liquor Is still sold nightly
in both the notorious People's Theatre
and dance hall and the Clancy Variety
Theatre, until recently known as the
Mascot
Though beer may masquerade as
Klondike" or as "Hop Tea." It is still
beer and Chief 8ulltvan knows It
Chief Sullivan, hardly more than a week
ago, said for publication: "If I find
..that those places are selling Intoxicating
liquors, I will close them." He referred
to the People's and the Clancy Theatre
when he made this statement.
The People's Theatre and danc hall
Is within a stone's throw of police head
quarters and the Mayor's office. Like
wise the Clancy Theatre. Both dives
are on SeVond avenue south and Wash
ington street. Just one block from the
corner of Second avenue south and Yes
ler way, one of the centers of street
car traffic In the city.
Second avenue south Is the main thor
oughfare between the south end of the
city and the southern suburbs and the
heart of the city. From early morning
until long after midnight It Is crowded
with pedestrians on their way to and
from their homes In the southern resi
dence districts.
Further than that, since the partial
cleansing of the old tenderloin several
months ago numerous wholesale houses
and small factories have moved Into
the premises which were vacated by the
lawbreakers who were formerly In ab
solute control of the district.
Among the employes of these busi
ness houses and factories, especially the
latter, are many women and girls who
are compelled o use Second avenue
south In going to and from their work.
These women and girls are the principal
sufferers by the refusal of the Mayor
and Chief of Police to close the two
dives which still remain of the many
which once made the old tenderloin a
quarter into which no respectable wom
an dared go, even with an escort.
It was for the protection of the Women
who now work in the laundries, stores
and factories of the new paved district
that the Chamber of Commerce, the
women s clubs and several other or
ganizations long ago petitioned Chief
Sullivan to thoroughly cleanse the old
tenderloin.
In the People's and Mascot Theatres
beer Is sold almost without a pretense
of concealment
"Gl'mme a beer, Jlmmle," crlea the
painted dance hall girl In the People'
aa she promenades to the bar with her
"partner" after a wait or two-step.

Just plain, old-fashioned beer at 12
cents per very small glass.
At the Mascot Theatre, which Chief
Sullivan not long ago said he believed
to be a thoroughly respectable place,
running on the temperance' plan, condi
tions Just as bad prevail.

by one concern that Its manager has
