A COMPLICATED AFFAIR
II Baird is Not Guilty Why Is He to be
DismissedP

The complications arising out Of the
killing Of Deputy Sheriff Poor at
Sedro on Sunday night, seem to be
many. From the evidence adduced
at the preliminary examination of
Baird, before Justice Terry at Sedro,
IL was clearly established that Baird
was only acting in the line OF duty,
when the unfortunate affair, which
led to the killing of Poor, occurred.
Baird believed that he had a desperate
gang OF smugglers to deal with, among
whom were Terry, noted horse thief
and desperadO, and another inspector
of customs named Holden. The
actions OF Terry, Holden and Poor
clearly indicate that all was not fair
and above board, and that they were
in cOllusiOn, their object being to
place the Cinnamon beyond reach Of
Baird and buchanan. There can be no
misunderstanding on these points, and
the mere fact of the association of
these men with Terry, shows that
they were not acting i'm the upright
manner which should characterize
officers of the law. All their actions
were suspicious, and il is not at all
likely that Poor was the dupe of Terry
or Holden.
Baird has proved himself an efficient
officer, and as "A reward for faithful
discharge OF duties. he is asked to
resign. He may have been over zeal
Gus, but the facts brought out do not
show it. If the laws OF the land are
TO be enforced, officers Of the law
should receive the support OF all law
abiding citizens. Discharging an Off
Ger for duties which he performs faith
fully and cOnscientOusly, is to bring
these very laws into contempt, and 20
cmbolden offenders. The sworn state
ments Of Baird's brOther-in-law Oliver.
prove nothing; they may, and prOba-
bly, are, actuated by malice and rer-
sonal or family quarrel. The AFFIDAVIT
OF Bengel, OF Blaine, proves as well
absolutely nothing.
There Is well-grounded belief that
Seattle Is the headquarters OF an or
ganized and powerful opium and Chi
nese smuggling ring, and that this
same concern is moving heaven and
earth TO secure the discharge OF officers
OF the law Of whose vigilance they are
afraid. Money to secure this end is
no object and il is freely used when
occasion demands. This matter should
be thoroughly sifted, and If Baird is
innocent he should not be made a
scapegOat to shield others. Justice
and fair play demand that his faith
fulness should be recognized.

securing of this manufactory would be
grand thing for Fairhayen, and an
effort should be made TO have it To-
Gated here. Daily the need OF an
active chamber Of commerce becomes
more apparent, and the present move
ment TO organize one should be pushed
and supported vigorously. A cham
Der of commerce worthy of the name
should be able to induce many manu-
facturers to locate in a city where
such unexcelled opportunities for
manufacturing purposes offer.

A Berlin Bank Clerk Forges Heavily

BERLIN, July 3l-The city is stirred
up by the detection OF sensational
series Of forgeries. A clerk In the
Deutsche bank, having authority TO
bills, drew number on his own ac-
count, and through the medium Of a
broker bought Russian roubles I'm be-
half OF the bank. Through clever
forging and tampering with the books
the dishonest clerk succeeded for some
time In evading the scrutiny OF the
officers Of the bank. At length the
bank was requested 10 meet the liza
bilities incurred by the forger. This
led to the detection OF the crime and a

STILL ON THE PUMPS.
One More Session Will Probably
Finish the Investigation.

OHc More session w Ill PROBABLY
Finish the Investigation.
The pump investigation is drawing to
close, and one more session will prob
ably finish the taking of testimony.
Capt. Tarr has concluded his portion of
the examination and by this time has
probably left the city.
McGayin at one time employed at
the North side station-was the object
OF tilt between HOll and Cakes.
Didn't McGalvin say that he would
rather throw up his job than do your
dirty work?' asked Mr.. Holl.
Not that know OFFS
"WhO told you l was asleep?;
''McGavin for one"
"McGavin didn't. | can prove it."
Mr.. Hoil said that he had done much
work for the Worthingtons, and neither
Cakes nor Smith could deny that. Wit
ness tried further TO prove that Mr..
Oakes left the pumps ami also went TO
sleep.
Aid. Kiichli objected TO this testi-
mony. as the committee had nothing to
do with Mr. Cakes or the pumps before
they were accepted.
MI. Tweedie then questioned the wit
ness.
~ OH were in the boiler room. and, Of
course, can give us some information
about the boilers. the contract calls for
a strength of 200 pounds cold water
pressure OH the boilers. Did YOU see
that much pressure on those boilers?"
mo, sir"
"How much have you seen?''
II put on myself 40 pounds"
lie hrSt witness put on at the after
noon session was Mr.. Cakes. He stated
m a
he considered himself competent. The
three months lie spent here after the
pumps had been completed was con-
Sumed in arranging for the test. 1t re
CURED that much time to arrange a COM
promise with the city, as a higher pres
sure was needed than was called for in
the contract.
Capt. Tarr was then called by Aid.
Hunter, who read him a section of the
contract calling for a test of not to ex-
coed SIX days and asked HIM why il had
been changed to ten hours. II don't see
that 1t has been changed" said Can't.
Iarr. The contract says not to exceed
SIX days, but the test might be one hour.
tie then stated further that he Shout
consider ten-hOur test perfectly salts
factory and that six hours was lust as
good as six DAYS. He could not tell
whether any city had ever accepted one
OF these engines OH ten-hour test be-
tore as he was not an engineer and had
never been present at a test.
Capt. Farr declined 10 answer some of
the technical questions. saying that he
was not an expert, when he appeared as
an expert he got 800 per day.
do you know what made the pumps
break?" inquired Aid. Bradish.
From the testimony given here, do,
said Capt. Farr. First, they were run
under greater pressure than the con-
tract called for; second, they were run
out of line. | know they were in line
when accepted by the city. and l know
from the testimony here that when they
broke they were out of line"
Assistant City Engineer Cappelin was
called and stated that he had built the
substructure for the pumps and could
not conceive of anything that could
make the concrete foundations settle.

were followed by three Young men, ayho
kept close 10 their heels. They stopped at
the Burlington ticket Office, and one OF the
men entered behind them, while the other
two remained outside. They then wett to
Legg's jewelry store corner Nicollet and
Fourth. and while they looked at goods Mr..
wills laid his satchel on The floor between
his feet. Shortly afterwaId his attention

lie. that man is going away with your
satchel"
Wills saw the fellow cooly walking away
with his money. and started il pursuit. At
the corner of Fourth and Henuepin avenue
he overlook the thief. who refused 10 give UP
the satchel. saying ii was his and he had no
time TO spend in pTOmiScuOus talking. At
this moment however. Detective Joe Law
renee appeared and took the fellow in tow,
turning him over shortly afterward 10 Officer

on the stairs. When accOsted he said that
he worked for Myers the LAWYER. on the
sixth floor, and Lawrence said, Lets go and
see Myers" Then the fellow weakened. and
in angry tones inquired what they wanted
with him. at the same time trying to draw
