COMMITTED TO JAIL,
THE TRIO OF VICIOUS BOYS
PLEAD GUILTY.
Ihe PInkertOn Detective Present
at the Hearing in the
Sheriff's Office.

The capacity of the office of Sheriff
Shaw was severely tested Thursday
afternoon by motley gathering,
whose curiosity in the case of bows
stealing from More, Jonas & More led
them to that place. The boys, it will
be remembered, were John Shaw, Jr..
Albert Diekenson and Winfield John
son. When at the Mayors office on
Monday night, the boys protested their
innocence, and declared they knew
nothing of the stealing of the steel
taps and dies, which were valued at
S2I At that time the young Pinker-
ton detective was not present, and as
his testimony was very material. the
case was postponed until Thursday
afternoon at two o'clock. Mayor Du-
Bois, Prosecutor Hoagland and the
three boys sat in the little office until
about twenty minutes after two
O'Clock, when Operator No. 1907 OF
PInkerton agency, put in an appear
ance, accompanied by a brother Pink
erton. They had arrived in this city
on the 1.50 train. The detective took
seat, and Mayor Dubois read again
the charge against the young men,
and without further remarks. all three
plead guilty. This, of course, sum-
marily stopped all further proceedings
as far as hearing was concerned, and
the crowd was disappointed from the
fact that they could not hear the tes-
timony of the Pinkerton.
Mayor Dubois again turned to the
boys, and read complaint charging
them with ''wilfully and maliciously
breaking certain glassware, which was
valued at $40 and upwards" Shaw
and Dickinson Immediately plead
guilty to this charge, but Johnson de-
clared that he was not guilty. This
caused the detective to gaze at him,
and Johnsons eyes fell. The Mayor
told him to consider the matter we'll,
and gave him another opportunity 10,
| plead. This time he Acknowledged;
his guilt The Mayor then held the
young men under $500 bail each for
their appearance at Court, and they
were all marched back TO jail.
| The detective who worked no this
case is not more than nineteen. and is
rather small. He has a particularly
noticeable keen eye He seemed some
what of nervous temperament, and
Immediately left the Office without
saying word to any body. His COM
panion was much larger man, and
had been sent down to Bridgeton to
| prevent any harm Detailing the youth
full operator His name could not be
learned. While in the coach being
driven to the train PIONEER report
er endeavored to engage him in con-
versation, but he could get him to say
nothing. He blankly refused to
dlVulge his name and his companion
called him Larry George"
Frank" and other names. He is
simply known to the outside world as
Operator $780," The Pinkertons took
the 500 O'Clock train for Philadelphia.
The three prisoners speak in very hard
terms of the young detective whom
they thought was lone of the boys
and during the hearing at the Sheriff's
office did not speak to him. Mr.. and
Mrs. Dickinson and Mr.. Shaw, were
present at the hearings of their sons.

Bribery in Railway Elections.

Mr. Isaac L. Rec, of the New York
moralization of railway management,
showing that the inherent evil lies in
the alb ence Of sense of trust among
stockholdt RS, who make and unmake
directors and officers" The effect OF
this absence of trust is the prevalent
system of borrowing and buying prox-
les, which, whatever form it take. is in
substance bribery. Mr.. Rice shows
that " it is scandal that votes on all
motions and resolutions which may
come up st any corporate meeting
should be sold in advance, while the
seller has not even hint OF what
the Sc motions and resolutions are 60
ing to be. He cannot know whether
(referring to the pasD his vote will
ratify wrongful and even criminal acts
committed by the directors or officers,
or whether (referring to the future) it
will force the corporation into bank
ruptcy. If, therefore, either from a
moral or business point OF view, no
defense can be found for the practice,
some weapon more potent than argu-
ment will be necessary; buying and
selling votes in corporate elections and
meetings must be declared by law TO
be what in its nature it is-a crime.
And when we reflect that the net
work of one-hundred and fifty thcus-
and miles of railway of the country,
employing in its development and
operation a million of latorers and in
volving ten thousand million dollars of
securities, is rapidly coaleseing into
few huge systems controlled by few
central corporations, the question of a
pure ballot for the election OF the man.
ayers of these corporations rises 10
national Importance" The remedy
that Mr.. Rice proposes is the enact
ment of rigid law by the New York
Legislature, in which State the finan-
cial control of the corporations conters,
to secure honest elections by stock
ho'd,rs. The several fo,ms of bribery,
some established by custom and some
even made necessary by the methods
of transfe rring shares, are pointed out
in an essay which he has contributed
to the March number of the Forum,
and he explains the scope that a law
for pure ballot should take.

problems that have appeared in recent

Laws for Railways" and "Na'ional

a City Ordinance lnvalidatcd by the
It will be remembered that Mrs. l..
B. Taper was fined $25 and costs in
Justice Miller's court, one day last
week, for selling, from door to door,
within the city limits, without first
taking out a hawker's license. Mrs.
Tsppan appealed TO the District Court,
and the case came up for argument
upon the constitutionality of the Or
dinance, before Judge Burke, Thurs
day of last week.
The merits OF the case were tDor-
oughly discussed, but the point upon
which the appeal was taken that Mrs.
Tappan was acting as agent for st.
Louis house, and therefore was en-
gagged in Interstate commerce, which,
according to the Constitution of the
United States, can only be regula ed
by Congress, was the principal ques-
ton at issue. In contravention of this
proposition, acting City Attorney
Ronald cited case from the Tooth
United States Supreme Court report,
but Attorney Andrews, for the appel
ant, brought out decision in the
120th report OF the same court, revers-
ing the former decision and declaring
that no State or municipal govern
ment has right to place restrictions
upon the sale Of goods brought from
another State. The real effect of this
decision is that a city has the right
to tax dealers in home productions,
but not those manufactured outside Of
the State.
Judge Burke said that this did not
conform to his ideal of justice, but he
could not do otherwise than follow the
decision of the Supreme Court. He
therefore reversed the decision OF JUS

A few days ago there was fled in the
District court in this city complaint
in which J. w. Robinson, the we'll
known lawyer, and Philip Hiltz, the
saloon keeper, are PARTIES.
The complaint for Cause of action
sets forth that the said Philip did, on
the 23d day of March, 1889, at Olym-
pa, Washington Territory, in the
presence of divers persons, citizens of
Olympia, and speaking directly to and
in the hearing and presence of said
citizens, did then and there malicious
ly charge and accuse this plaintiff OF
the crime Of forgery committed few
days prior thereto in the following
words: Joe Robinson (meaning the
plaintifD has got himself into trouble
and has forged deed on the Tacoma
Bank for $4,000. raising the same
from 5000 to SIS, 900 and he will be
arrested therefor" That all OF said
words were and are wholly false and
taat tie said Hiltz, circulating the
same as truth among the citizens Of
Olympia, has damaged Robinson's
standing as citizen and lawyer,
wherefor he asks damages in the sum
of $25. 600.

was to be apr ointsd Governor Of Wash
ington ! few days ago. It was sud-
denly announced, however, that he
was : candidate for Senatorship when
Washington Territory should be added

the President, and he asked Gov
ernor Squire to call upon him yester-
day. He did SO, end the President
tod him that he had heard he was to
he eaudidate for Senator. He said If
that was the case he could not appear
to be taking part in the senatorial con-
test by placing him in the Guberna-
torial chair rs q stepping stone to the
higher honor. Mr.. Squire thanked the
President for his frankness, and said
that h. was o can iidate for Senator,
and could, he believed, obtain the
place without the Governship. While
he would have liked the appointment,
under the circumstances, he declined
to be further considered a candidate.

What n Former Washing tOnian
Thinks of our Resources
and Country.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 18th 1889.
EDITOR EVENING OLyxpI
l am pleased to see by your new
paper that Olympia has at lastawaken-
I'd rom her slumbers, and bids fair to
overt.Ee if not outstrip her sisters in
the race tor prominence and renown.
l am glad of it, having spent several
years of my life within its delightful
surroundings, and still holding for her
a warm place in my heart.
Let it be the mission of the OLYM-
PLAN to herald the news OF your won-
derful resources throug hout the length
and breadth of the land. You are do
ing a good work, not alone to your
selves but 10 the toiling masses, who
know so little OF what is on the opposite
side OF the continent, or indeed what
is beyond their immediate range of
vision. II they conld only be brought
to tee the opportunities that await
them in the far west, what a blessing
1t would be- If the many thousands
of poor people who are struggling to
maintain themselves on the verge Of
starvation, in this great city, could
reach such haven as Washington
presents, what an amount of suffering
would be alleviated, what measures of
joy would be filledl These people are
driven To want, not so much from the
excessively low wages paid, as that at
seasons they are thrown out Of all en-
ployment, and their meagre savings
dissolve as the dew before the fervid
heat of want. ban
Thus in the temple of Prospei ity
want stares you IA the face. The
trouble mainly les in the idea that is a
person can only get to Chicago, po-
si;ion awaits him, for there are SO many
places that he cannot come amiss.
But for every piece Of work, no matter
what branch, there are dozens ready to
take it, and the employees take advan-
tage of the situation and compel the
laborer to work for hire that is, al
most starvation. What o good thing it
would be if these deserving laboring
heads of families could be induced to
seek homes in a rich farming and pro-
ductive county like yours. Every
property owner who seeks the welfare
Of Washington should see to it that
information Of this productive country
is sent broadcast over all parts of our
national heritage. Articles in our city
papers are q waste of money in such
cities as this, for they will never reach
those who could, or care TO 60 out and
enter a new field Use such repre-
sentitive papers as the STANDARD or
OLYMpIAN, or have pamphlets printed
and get them into railroad depots and
hotels, and public places that will at
tract the eye Of those who are locking
ahead for something in advance of the
dreary life Of labor in big city. What
a glorious field you have to offer those
who are ambitious and perseyering
Let the people know in other States
whit you have, what a fine climate
that there are thousands of acres lying
ready for the energetic husbandman,
hundreds OF resources to be developed
by those skilled in the various branches
of industry, and peace and plenty
for all, and a new State will call you
blessed. L. 8. BoYNTON.
