cumstanccs surrounding the transaction, ana
the excellent reputation borne by Aibertso1
during his long residence in this state, the
charge seems 10 be, as he stated, wholly without
foundation.
without desiring to take any chances of fail
ing to get Albertson away from Seattle, where
his friends are so numerous, these detectives re-
sorted TO the lawless methods of kidnapping
They watched for Albertson aud when he started
to his hotel, in company with w. +. Bailey,
they arrested him a defective warrant aud
took Bailey with him. These men were held by
force in closed hack and hurried
out of town TO q junction nine miles
distant, where the train was to
have been taken for Tacoma Friends OF the
abducted men having been apprised OF the out
rage, rescuing party was quickly formed,
headed BY Judge Thomas Burke Taking the
train they intercepted the abductors and their
victims at the junction. Detective sullivan
and his gang were arrested and their prisoners
were released. All returned to Seattle together,
and the kidnapers were admitted to bail.
Albertson courts the fullest stigation, ana
says he can prove his innocence, and those VINO
know him have full faith in his statement But
no matter how well substantiated the charge
against him light have been, there is no justin
Cation for the preparation of such an outrage
as sullivan and his rufians committed
This is not the first of Detective Sullivan's
outrages. He has resorted to lawless methods
before, and it is time TO put An effective cheek
upon this class of proceeding and rid the state
OF these ruffians. Other states have rid them
selves of the Pinkertons and other detective
gangs. and Washington should do the same.
Sullivan and his detectives are q worse evil
than the Pinkersons, aud should no longer be
tolerated within the borders of Washington. It
is high time these ou;rages were stopped and
detective ruifials were wiped out.

The Cap Sheaf OF Evil.


At last we have the cap sheaf to the evil OF so
called Pinkertonism in this state. The alto
gether reckless and lawless abduction OF
two Seattle men was all that was required 10
fire the mine OF public wrath and put an effect
ual quietus upon the dangerous operations OF
the sullivan guards.
Some such an overt act as this was needed to
arouse the torpid public to realization OF the
danger that was being nursed under the guise of
law and order. In vain did labor protest that
this evil was subversive of their rights and dan
gerous to their freedom. In vain did the public
press point out the inevitable weakening of the
public that followed the employment of
these brutal hirelings. The danger was too in
sidious TO arouse the sleeping lion, and the
shameful subserviency of q dishonored official
stepped in between the quiet voice of the people
and the object of their mistrust, and by vetoing
the action OF the legislature sought TO fasten
still more firmly the cloak of law upon the
shoulders OF lawlessness.
Mr. Bailey in spite of his millions, is no more
entitled to the protection of the law than the
poorest man in his employ. At the same time
he is a prominent man, and naturally the public
interest is more intense than 1t would be were
he in an obscure station. He is also wealthy
and influential man, and If his righteous wrath
is not permitted TO cool he can do the public
great service by waging a personal crusade
against the pernicious system which deprived
him of his liberty
1t has long been apparent that these relics of
the dark ages of feudslism made themselves
chiefly serviceable by employing intimidation
and brute force under the thinuest veneer of
legality. They stole the livery of the law as
cloak to their lawlessness. But by directing
their efforts against poor men of no influence
and using discretion in the treatment of the
rich and powerful, they have long succeeded in
masking their true character and silencing the
occasional indignant protests OF labor and the
independent press.
Luckily Sullivan's stupidity or audacity has
put a different coloring upon his efforts. If the
cutlery against Pinkertonism doesn't swell into
an angry roar after this reckless play the
Washington people will have to be set down as
extraordinarily careless Of their liberties alto
gether wrapped up III the requirement. of
wealth.
1t is well that the outrage has been perpe-
trated. 1t may lead to the most beneficial re-
suits.

THE SULLIVAN OUTRAGE.
A Tacoma View OF 1t.


The arrest OF r. B. Albertson in Seattle upon
charge of completely in the robbery of the
Fidelity Trust Company, has caused a great
sensation X. b. Aloertson was arrested upon a
warrant sworn out by T. B. Wallace, president
oil the Fidelity Trust Company, which warrant
charged that K. B. Albertson received securities
from Edward Albertsoh, the defaulter, knowing
that the securities were stolen. The warrant
was given to Deputy Sheriff Evans, of this
county, TO serve. He arrested Mr.. Albertson
upon public street in Seattle A friend of Mr..
AIoertson, who was with him at the time of the
arrest insisted upon accompanying his friend
and was allowed so to do Detective Sullivan
accompanied Deputy sheriff Evans and pointed
him out TO the officer. Deputy Evans intended
TO bring his prisoner TO this city, but great
sensation was raised in seattle. local police
offleeEs boarded the train, the prisoner was re-
leased, and Mr.. Evans, Detective sullivan and
al assistant Were arrested.
These facts have given the newspapers a
chance for good many sensational reports. 1t
has been claimed that the arrest of Mr.. Albert
son was au outrage. etc. The facts hardly bear
out these reports.
This is the sum and substance of the occur
renee upon which the sensation was founded.
A bank IN Tacoma had been robbed. Its officials
were searching for the robbers and his ASSOC
eiates. They had information which induced
thern 70 swear out a warrant Tor the arrest of q
man whom they susuected as an associate of the
deiau,ter. The warrant was given 70 a deputy
sheriff to serve and the man was arrested.
hstever connection, If any, Detective sulli-
van or any other detective had with the case
does not affect the main proposition The sem
satlon Is ell oosh. Mr. A bertson was arrested
by an officer of the law. under warrant proper
~ issued. The only outrage seems to be in the
arrest OF the deputy sheriff by Seattle police
officers.

DOWN THEY Go !

After one weeks earnest reflection
what to do with the remainder OF our
LIGHT WEIGHTS at this period OF
the season We find there's but one alter
native to prevent carrying them over
until next season, and that Is to SELL
THEM without any consideration OF
cost, but positively SELL THEM Az a
PRICE which must close them.
In order to facilitate making rapid
progress in disposing of the remainder
OF our Light Weight Garments before
the close Of the season We have made
another CUT in prices in order to rush
these goods off as rapidly as possible, as
the emergency demands.
Buyers who study economy and those
who seek to obtain the best values for
their money will appreciate the LOW
PRICES we've marked on goods in
every department, and will be amply re-
paid for the little time and trouble it
NAV take in making an investigation OF
facts. which must certainly result to
their interests ut least to the amount
saved in making their purchases where
the best inducements are offered.
