TO ALLOW HIM TO ENTER
Nothing" Personal in Action, But
Did Not Want Dead Man's
-' Friends Disturbed.
' " Despite the denial of patrolman O. f.
Isakson that any trouble occurred on
: -account of his' attempting to. tore hla
way. into a-- room ia-which war two
t-grief -stricken women, after the aulcida
of K. Fv Cappa, at East Fourteenth snd
: Beacon street., laat Sunday, th tat-.
. ments of those responsible for keeping
him from entering the nous put an n;
. tlrely different light on tha affair. . t
It appears that the body of the'siil
-ld had been rmoved from the house
and placed In a vehicle by Deputy Cbro
net Baldwin, who waa conversing wnn
a number of person in front of - tha
house when tha lncldeat occurred. ev
-eral witnesses aute that Baldwin waa
net tn position to know what happened,
M far aa Isakson Is concerned, and that
' lila assertion, therefore, ahould carry no
-weight. - Tha policeman waa stopped
from entering tha room by Jatnea Walla,
the timber man, whoae residence Is at
fit Kaat Madison street. Mr. Well U
a niece or me aeoessea,.. -. ., ... .
-I am very aorry that so much promi
nence ahould have been given the Inel-
; dent- said Mr. Well laat "night.
- have nothing against the policeman,' but
think he exhibited rery poor judgment
While I grasped him- by. the. arm and
. placed mv-Mlf between l.nu and ir door
of the room. . I did not una violence.
. However, If be had persisted In hla at-
tempt to enter and violence nan oeen
necessary to prevent him. It would hare
been need.
"The suicide. occurred an hour before
Isakson arrived on the scene . and the
body had been remove by the deputy
coroner to a vehicle atanding In front of
the - bou-. Isakson ruahed -up. to a
group of persona convening with that
on K iel, and arter a rew woros enierea
the hallway of the house. - He waa ex
. -tted when I .stopped htm and told him
. nia presence, waa not required, t . ex
plained that It es a dear case of sui
cide, that the body bad been removed b
' the coroner, and that nothing called for
aa investigation by him.
, ""Notwithstanding thhv Jsakson moved
toward une door of --fom 4s. wnieu
- were Mrs. Capps and my wife, both In a
- distracted condition, and placed bla hand
on the knob.' Then I grPd him by
the arm and placed myself between him
and the door. spoke more plainly this
time, and told him that nobody waa In
the room but my wife and Mrs. Capps,
wbe were sobbing and almost hysterical,
. '"Isakson. there. Is no occasion for
your presence here,' I said. Tha coro
ner is In .charge and has removed the
body,. If you want any information, get
lt-f rosa-Alm-.; i -,.: X t '
"He replied- that he bad orders from
tha chief to make an Investigation. 1
- told htm I cared nothing about any or
ders' he had, that the coroner waa in
charge ;andv had,- made aa Investigation,
and I did not care to have the women
excited-by his presence in his uniform
or by having any more questions put to
them. He finally walked, oat of 'the
-house. " While his motive might have
bent all right, he certainly showed poor
Judgment"- ; 7 .. '.. -. , :.:.

Some young men employed on the fair
grounds took a hand tn the controversy,
and there was a general rush for the
scene. - In less than Ave minute the
street was filled with a surging mob of
boys an- young men. - Cursing and
shouting, they ; battled at random.
Several of the combatants were pain
fully Injured and the spot where the row
vecurred was marked by the blood. Not
policeman waa In eight during tho
ught though windows were thrown up
on alt sides and doors and porches filled
with residents. A. number of women
were badly frightened and added their
screams to the babel of noises that dreT
people to the Held of combat.
There are several saloons In the vloln-
Ity, at which young men who have at
tained their majority are said to procure
liquor a fid divide It with their younger
companions.' .
Two complaints were-mad to Chief

POLITICAL PLOT :
DECLARES DALLIi
He' Says the Ferry Webster Was
w.,' Pronounced Unfit at Mat
thews' Command.
INSISTS THAT BOAT
f
; IS THOROUGHLY SOUND
Politicians on Trial TripjThere 15
Find Fault at Behest i
"of Boss. .
According to P. A. Ballln, the marine
architect who designed . the ferryboat
Lionel Jl. ' Webster, It was all out and
dried that the county officials were to
make her trial trip a tenure at an naa-
ards. He Is confident that they were
carrying our the instruction which were
given them .by Jack Matthews, the Re
publican machine boaa, who later, want
ed to make capital out of the matter by
Impressing the fact on the mind of-the
voters that h' .effected a saving of
something like $1,000 a month by con
demning the craft and not. having her
operated. - .. . '. '
'When I receive the report or Jack
Matthewr deputies concerning the ves
sel, which I understand they intend to
send tne, I will be prepared to glva them
pointed answer,", declared Mr. Ballln
last evening. "The facta are there is no
better or more easily managed ferryboat
anywner man the weDater. - inis v,
conclusively proved when -ah waa oper
ated, for six weeks laat winter- tn place
of the old ferryboat between Vancouver
and the peninsula. It ws the storm
iest period of tha year, and yet the Web
ster ran all or that time without meet
ing with a single mishap. 8 he ran stead
ily from 1 10 clock in the morning until i
o'clock at night, and the atreet railway
company which hdd her chartered . was
perfectly satisfied with her." r .
During thes alx week Mr. Ballln
ays the boat mad much better time
than the vessel which had been on the
route before, and the captain who had
charge or her . thought she waa just
about perfect In every particular. But
he believe that a political plot waa
laid to condemn her to disuse. When
the campaign open In good shape, he
Insists that tha directing hand of the
machine will be visible. The word will
be p"ed around among the freeholder
that the county was avd a nig ex
penditure by ao arranging It that' the
stesmer would be tied UD. -
"Politicians made the trial trip on her.
and picked our a crew to run her" con
tinued Mr. Ballln. "If a man who never
steered an-automobile In hi lif would
mount one of the machine and attempt
to run it, the probabilities are that he
would collide with the first obstacle that
lay In hi path. It I the same way
with a steamboat an experienced hand
la required at the helm, or damage, will
surely result. It Is stated, that the ves
sel could not be easily steered. Any one
who iinderstands steering csn handle the
Webster easily aa hny other boat in
thia harbor. Thi waa proved when she
was - over at Vancouver. That she
bumped into the slip on her . trial trip
argues nothing against jn J&qa5wnen
other facts are known."
Mr. Ballln and George H. Howell of
tha executive board of the city council
were on the Webster Saturday afternoon.
when she was given a trial spin in tns
harbor. Both state that the "politicians"
In the party formed a little group and
kept up a constant talk in an undertone.
When Mr, Ballln i or Mr. Howell ap
proached the party the-conversation
would cease, but a toon atthey .moved
swav It would be resumed with energy.
Thi I regarded a evidence that they
were scheming among themselves to
have, the boat pronounced a failure. ,

A GOOD DEAL OF NONSENSE.
Aboa "Blood Partners" aad "Tonics.'
Every drop of blood, every bone, nerve
ana tissue in tne poay can be renewed in
but one way. and that Is. from whole
some food properly digested. ' There is
no other way and the idea that a medi
cine tn Itself can purify the blood- or
supply new tissue and strong nerves i
ridiculous snd on a par with ths fol-de-rol
that dyspepsia . or Indigestion ' is a
germ disease, or that other fallacy, that
a weak stomach Which refuses to dle-t
food can be made to do bo by . Irritating
and Inflaming th bowel by pill -and
camanica.
Btusrt's Dyspepsia Tablets cure Indi
gestion, sour stomach, gas and bloating
after meals, because thny furnlsb ths
digestive principles which weak atom?
ach lack, and, unless the deficiency nf
pepsin and diastase. Is supplied, It' Is
useless to attempt to cur slemach trou
ble by the use of "tonics," "pills" and
"cathartics." which have absolutely -no
digestive power, and their only efltect is
to give a temporary stimulation. - -
One. grain of the active principle tn
Stuarra Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
3,000 (rains of meat, eggs and similar
foods, and experiment have shown that
they will do this In glass bottle ut
proper .temperature, but of course are
much, ra ore e fleet W lit t he stomach; "
There is probably no remedy so uni
versally used as Htuart'a Tablets, be
cause it is not only the sick snd ailing,
but well people, who use them at every
meal tn insure perfect digestion and aa
slmllstlon of food.
People who enJny fair health take
Stuart Tablets as regularly-ae-they
take their men Is, because they want to
seen well, prevent Ion la better tlmn
cure, and Stuart's !tytepl Tablets do
both: they prevent Indigestion and th-y
remove it Where it exists. The regular
use ef on or two nf them after mesls
will demanatrat their merit and .effi
ciency better than any other argument.
