ONE ARGUMENT FOR OLYMPIA

SEATTLE, Sept %, 1850.
Among the numerous claims that olym-
pia Is advancing TO secure the permanent
location of the state capital. and one which
most certainiy.,must commend itself TO every
awyer engaged in admiralty practice, as
we'll as those who have the commercial
welfare of the great Sound cities at heart,
is the following:
Section q of the enabling act. as passe d
by congress. contains "A provision that the
United States district and admiralty courts
must convene at the state capital. The
man who stops moment 10 consider what
this provision means must well nigh think
twice. 1t means that the case of every
ship that is libeled on the Sound must so
to the state capital fer trial and should the
capital be taken from the Sound it would
be of the greatest inconvenience TO the hti-
gants and their witnesses, as well as enor-
mously expensive. TO be compelled TO go
east of the mountains either to Ellensburg
or Yakima.
Then how about the juries who would be
called upon to decide these casesg They
might lie composed OF men who do not
know the difference between the keelson
and the main truck and who have passed
Their days sailing prairie-schooners.
Let those who are interested in the
Sound as maritime center see TO 1t that
the commerce OF the cities is not ham,
pered by such foolish and needless change
of position in the capital. The Sound,
which is so much interested in shipping
and which looks upon it a. such an i'm
portant factor in its development, should
not vote to put this great tax upon It's

TASCOTT IN FICTION.
Three Chicago Novelists Deal
With the Smell Murder.
THE DYING coNvicT's STORY.
Horr~r cf the Father Canfe<ser and
Peaceful Death Of the Criuiaai-
Tsseoft Found Not Guilty.

CHICAGO, Sept sa-Tnree brand new
Tascost stories made their appearance
today. They az purporf 10 solve the nys-
terry OF Millionaire Smells murder, hat
ssree only IN conveying the impression
that Tascofs was not the real criminal
The naost importan, OF the three nara
tives quoted as authority an alleged well
known lawyer. whose name is withheld. In
says he was consulted professionally the
day after the murder By one 81 the two
men who did the killing, James Gillian, an
eS-convict. now dead Tascofi's eonnec-
ton with the case is explained in the story
by the statement that Gillian had hidden
his piunder in Tsscofts room during the
iA'iers absence from the city.
The sensational feature of the story is
the unqualified statement that Gillian, on
his deathbed al the county hospifai. six
months ago. made full confession oi the
crime to Father ] sullivan, of s.. Jariath
catholic church. Dramatic alleged "details
ss TO Father Sullivsn's horror-stricken sp-
pearance after learning the secret are
gwen, accompanied by descriptions OF the
holy peace that Immediately appeared on
the face OF the dying convict. Father SUI
hvan was seen today and emphaiieaily de-
MED the story.
One OF the other two stories told is that
the millionaire was slain by pair of toughs
who were hired by a mysterious third
party.
The third tsle is 10 the effect that profes-
sional burglars, whose identity is not even
limited at. killed Smell as an incident in the
course of their professional occupation. aud
have since disposed of Tsscott, against
whom suspicion was unIustly directed. The
trimmings OF the article are that Tascott
was an iilegitimate son: that after the trag-
edy he was hidden on his mothers house
for months. disguised as servant girl,
and was taken by her 10 the Paciie coast.
The conclusion is in the nature OF a vague
suggestion that he was subsequently killed
by the real criminals in Alaska
Tonight the Gillian story was exploded
even more thoroughly than Ii had been by
Father sullivan. The sergeant at the West
Lake-street police station showed, by refer
ence 10 his records, that the man said To
have confessed the murder was. at the tirue
OF the crime, safe under lock and key in q
cell many blocks from the mansion of the
Inflated millionaire

trols it. 1t has answered their purpose, and
having an opportunity 10 sell the hotel 10

chasers would be able TO realize something
