LOCAL MISCELLANY.
Feasibility Of Asking the Postpone
ment of the Opening OF the City
schools to Permit the Children to
Gather the Hop Crsp.

Mrs c. r. Reed yesterday sent a
note 70 Prosecuting Attorney Ronald
stating that her husband had not left
the city as reported, but had been in
town ali the time and had not even
secluded himself. She said further
that the officers could find him at his
home any time and that none hal
ever been there looking for him Mr..
Ronald Immediately went down town
and told the first policeman he met.
Reed was found at his home and told
the officers that he was perfectly reasiy
10 go along with him. He was taken
20 Justice Soderberg's Office 10 answer
to the charge OF obtaining money under
false pretenses. Reed filed a demurrer

terry.
\ wELL-KN0ws CHARACTER
Reed Is too well known to require
very extended notice. He has been
arrested and tried half dozen times
for conducting a fraudulent employ
ment agency business, but each time
he has been acquitted as he always
manages to cover up his tracks. The
charge upon which he was arrested
yesterday was preferred a week or 30
ago by Alexander McCaskiil. The
complainant alleges that he gave Reed
81 10 secure him employment Reed
gave him card so Mills & Randall,
the contractors, but when he applied
TO them they told him that they did
net need any men and that Reed had
no authority to engage help for them.
He says he then returned TO Reed and
the latter, instead of returning the 81
to him. wanted to take him into part
nership in the firm of Cone Il Co. In
stead he accepted q position in the
Office, and Reed borrowed $40 of
him on the strength of it, and put of
payment from time to time. He
charges Reed with fraud in very broad
terms. There is also a charge of a
similar nature pending against Reed
in Justice Jones's court,

WHO WANTS EMPLOYMENT /.
A Chance for Every One to Pick
Hops.

John Fountain Is happy man. He
advertised in the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
for $50 white people TO pick his
hop crop and 100 have already re-
sponded and are at work, and more
are going To his place daily so that
now all fears of his losing his crop
are passed. He has fitted up an i'm
mense eating house where he feeds his
pickers on the fat OF the land, and
they are all contented and happy
Many of his neighbors, however, are
less fortunate, some of them not
having secured single picker.
LAST RESORT.
The farmers are talking OF waiting
on the Seattle school board and urging
them TO postpone the opening of the
city schools for two weeks to enable
the children to assist in picking the
hops. This will only be done, how
ever. by the growers as a last resort. 4
few pickers arrived from British Co
lumbia Yesterday. but not nearly as
many as were expected. Considerable
feeling has sprung up among the
growers, owing to the scarcity oil
piekers. Mr.. Page declared yesterday
that some of his neighbors were pay
ing S. per head for pickers, and by
that means had coaxed away the
greater number of those who had
come to work for him. and that he
would retaliate ratker than lose bis
crop. Every Chinaman on the Sound
who was unemployed has been sent
out to the fields, and no effort is being
spared to save the crop. As the price
OF hops steadily advance, the growers
become more and more anxious TO Sc
cure their crops, and it is rather anus
ing to see them rustic for men when
they come to town.
