Oscar Erikson Seeks to Creep Out
OF Bad Trade.

The saloon theaters are determined TO
fight the 81 900 license provided for by city
ordinance, and yesterday two restraining
orders were gotten out to prevent the city
and chief of police from interfering with
certain saloons or their theaters. One
order was issued at the instance of Wat
kins q Considine, proprietors of saloon
and theater attachment at the corner of
South Third and Washington streets, and
the other at the instance of Kaid IL Wal
kins, proprietors of the Elite theater and
saloon on jackson street
In both complaints it is alleged that the
proprietors have paid their liquor license
and have offered to pay 500 extra for their
theaters, which is the regular theater IL
cense. 1t is claimed that the ordinance
taxing them $1,000 is illegal and void be-
cause it discriminates against certain
class of trade
They say that unless restrained the city
will have its police abate their theaters,
close their houses, prevent them from car
rying on their business and will do them
an irreparable injury
Judge Osborn issued temporary re-
straining orders in each case to prevent
the collection of the 81 600 license and any
interference with tn sse places by the po-
lice authorities until the case is finally
disposed of at hearing set for January 20.

ERIKsoN's BAD BARGAIN.
He Charges Fraud and Sues to Recover
His Lot.


His Lot.
Oscar Erikson and others brought suit
In the superior court yesterday against w.
c. Quinn for the recovery of lot II in block
IL of D. I. Denny's park addition and the
cancellation of his deed transferring the
property to Quinn.
In the complaint Erikson states that this
lot is worth $1,000 and has a mortgage on
1t for s., 900; that C.. r. Walworth, as agent
for Quinn, proposed to exchange for this
property a thirty acre tract Of
bottom land III White river
valley, which he claimed was free
of incumbrance and was worth 500 an
acre, and on the strength of these repre-
sensations, after looking at tract of land
purported to be the thirty acres contracted
for, Erikson agreed to the trade and the
transfers were made on January L. He
says that he has since discovered that the
property shown him by Walworth is not
the thirty acres for which he bargained,
but only part of this thirty acres is bottom
land, the rest of it being worthless hill
side and the whole property is only worth
about 81 500. There is a 81 900 mortgage on
the property. and it is leased for five years
from March 1, 1889, and he could not get
possession before March l, 1894.
He asks that the deed he made to Quinn
for the property be cancelled and set aside
for the reason that it was obtained by
fraud

TACOMA DOES THE BABY ACT.
Its Delegates Withdraw From State
Board OF Commerce.


Percy w. Rochester, L. d. Ross. J. f.
Esheiman, Ellis Morrison, Andrew Knox
and Colonel G. NJ. Sheafe, delegates from
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. Board
OF Trade and Realty and Investment Board
to the State Board of Commerce conven-
ton, returned from Olympia last evening.
They feel highly elated over Seattle's vic
tory in securing the headquarters of the
board. The delegates from Tacoma car
ried out their threat made before the bal
lot was taken and withdrew from the
board upon their failure to secure the loca-
ton of the principal office The
vote stood thirty-hve Tor Seattle against
thirteen for Tacoma, three for Olympia
and three for New Whatcom, a majority
of fourteen in favor of Seattle in a conven-
ton of representatives of the commercial
interests OF ali sections of the state, clearly
showing that Seattle is regarded as the
commercial center of Washington.
When the Pacific Coast Board of Com
merce was organized two years ago, Sam
uel Collyer was elected president. San
Francisco objected to having Tacoma thus
honored and withdrew. The Tacoma
press characterized this as the ''baby act, -
and bitterly and persistently denounced
San Francisco for not abiding the will of
the majority.

Cordray's Theater.

Melodrama is a success i'll Seattle, judg-
ing from the fattering reception which
1.-The Bankers Daughter" has met with
nightly since its first production on the
boards of Cordray's theater. Last night
the house was crowded and the utmost
good humor and satisfaction prevailed
from the rise of the curtain until the final
drop. The company is doing extraordi-
narily good work in this play, but there
are several blots which should be erased.
Professor Bray and his skillful little or
chestra deserve much praise for their
nightly renditions of excellent music. The
professor is fully entitled to imagine the
applause as being given after each selec-
ton, since Seattle audiences are so slow in
recognizing that musicians, like actors, re-
quire the stimulus of expressed approval
to bring out their best points.

published by the Hughes Lithograph
Company, of Chicago, and is a graphic
representation of the city. 1t is drawn by
Augustus Koch OH scale sufficiently
large to show clearly every notable build
ing, the lines of cars and railroads. streets
and docks. The topography of the city,
with the adjoining lakes, rivers and noun
tains, is shown with remarkable fidelity.
A very interesting feature of the view is
the distinctive coloring of that portion of
the city ravaged by the great fire. 1t is,
beyond all comparison, the finest piece of
work ever presented to Seattle and will, no
doubt, be in great demand.

CLOSING STORES EARLY.
Meeting Of the Association to Petition
Merchants.

The Clerks Early Closing Association
held meeting last night at Chisholm's
hall. There seemed to be some misunder-
standing, however, and the committees
appointed to circulate petitions among the
merchants for the establishment of
o'clock as a general closing hour were not
on hand to report. In consequence moth
ing was accomplished at the meeting. The
clerks who were present seemed greatly in
censed at the action of Jacob Kline, clerk
in Kline & Rosenberg's store, who, as they
claim, without any authority whatever
circulated a petition among the clothing
merchants, asking that their stores be
closed at O'Clock. This they agreed
TO do.
Today. a petition is to be circulated
among the dry goods merchants, asking
them to close at o'clock.

The Lewis Damage suit.

The big damage suit against the Puget
Sound Shore Railway Company, wherein
Mrs. Rosaline Amy Lewis demands $4,000
for the killing of her husband, occupied
all dav in Judge 0sborn's court yesterday
The plaintiff rested yesterday and the tes-
timony for the defense began. A large
diagram was produced in court to show
how the railroad runs and that the acct
dent occurred on railroad property, where
people had no right to go, and not on the
public highway. The case will doubtless
occupy all of today and part of tomorrow
before it is turned over to the tender mer-
cies of the Jury
