to make US acknowledge il rs ours,
without seeing the color of its hair"
Il. NJ. Carr was called for. He related
the manner in which Mr.. Albertson had
been assaulted by Jack Hebbard, and
how DIR. Smart had attempted TO draw

shouted, cheered and laughed. He ex-
pressed belief that the young men of
Seattle could organize fair, open, hon
