ii had proceeded with vim. He did not
think the Judge had had fair deal
Mr.. Jones said Judge Jacobs had never
been willing 70 undertake the old grade
cases without large compensation. The
council had appointed Messrs. Pontius
and BagIey 10 act with Treasurer Ames-
three good, solid men-and he believed
they would do more with deiinquents
than would attorneys proceeding on tech
nicaIities.
Mr.. Hall said the firm now collecting
was perfectly willing to surrender the
contract when the council chose to re-
lease il.
Mr.. Ames' motion that special counsel
be employed to appeal scrip cases was
carried.
The mayor asked If any action was pro-
posed as to those cases where warrants had
been issued
Mr.. Ames replied that they must be re-
newed or something done before long. In
reply to question, he thought the comp
troller was the proper official TO negotiate
terms.
Mr.. Barker said there was no difficulty
whatever in obtaining money if the war
rants were legal
old territorial Law which authorized cities
to draw warrants for judgments.
Mr.. Jones said the confession of judg-
ments in the court without any trouble TO
plaintiff had been very injurious to bonds
! under the Blaine ordinance.
Mr.. Hall declared without fear that If
the corporation counsel had had some
backbone the city would have had abso-
fct v lie & Il
tested scrip-holders will take the redemp-
ton bonds, and so give the city five years
to pay for them.
Mr. Barker had no doubt that the city
had power to issue judgment warrants.
Mr.. Hall asked if the board did not
think scripholders obtaining judgments
would take bonds if the difference of per
cent. interest were paid by the city.
Mr.. Ferris suggested the creation of a
judgment fund upon which such warrants
could be drawn.
Major Rinehart brought up the motion
OF the lire commissioners for a chemical
engine station on the Jefferson street side
of the county buildings, and for purchase
OF new hook and ladder truck, but no
action was taken.
City Clerk Miller returned to the subject
of the grade taxes and defended Judge
Jacobs. He thought they should not
adopt the resolution for employing special
counsel
Mr.. Arnes said Judge Jacobs knew per-
fectly well that the city did not owe the
money The city was usually defeated on
technicality. The claim for grade taxes
was just in nearly every case and no court
oil equity would absolye property-owners
from their obligation because fire had
destroyed a document whose contents
could be proved. and the main testimony
as to the work being honestly done was
irrefutable.
The talk then became general until adj
journment was moved.

HAMMOND SHEDS TEARS.
He Claims That Every Mans Hand IL
Against Him.

| Charles X. Hammond. confined in the
| county Jail upon charge of grand larceny.
was much distressed yesterday when he
found that his letter to the county COM
| missioners asking for charity had been
published, and when he read in the item
the reference to his connection with the
Cleveland street, London, scandal he
broke down and wept like a child. To
Jailer Monroe he said:
at seems that every mans hand is
against me. l am continually harassed
with the memory of this Cleveland
street affair and it has greatly prejudiced
my case, though God knows / have never
had any real connection with the motor
ious house about which there has been so
much said"
He was seen by PosT-INTELLIGEscER
reporter last evening and he said:
Il have been treated very unfairly. At
every mention of my name l am assailed
with reproach and reference is made TO the
Cleveland street, London, scandal. Why
do they do it? / am openly accused of
something no one has ever proven l will
say that do know something concerning
that affair that would be of great interest,
but | only happened to know, and since |
have given my word of honor not to speak
concerning it | must keep my lips closed.
1t is because l have kept my lips so close
that l am despised. My wife, who is
French and speaks no English, does not
know to this day the meaning of all those
charges"
Referring to his call for charity, he said !:
1T is even as | SAID in my letter to the
commissioners, my family are entirely
destitute. Neither my wife nor my little
boy are in position to aid themselves,
and the S. per month that the commits
sioners allow them is not great deal to
live on. As yet the charitable people of
the town have utterly ignored their condi-
ton and wants. For the last four DAYS
my wife and child would have been with
out food did / not share with them my
prison fare. In return the young men in
the same cell have shared their meager
meals with me. Today received an order
for IS worth of groceries from the commits
sioners, and will give it TO my wife when
| she comes down"
Hammond says that no one believes him
| guilty of grand larceny, and he still lives
| in hopes that he will be granted new
trial and be given his liberty

Independence Day VIII Soon Be Here.
In less than two weeks the Fourth of
July, with its attendant noises and dan
gers, will be upon us. The small boy,
however will not wait until the dawning
of the glorious day before beginning his
annual work of destruction with the
deadly toy pistol, firecrackers and other
explosives. Every year it is the same old
story of fires. accidents and death. Why
people will subject themselves to the ad-
dltional dangers of the Fourth of July
without providing additional protection is
hard to understand.
The statistics show that there is very
large increase in the number of fires, and
fire insurance companies have already pub
hshed notices cautioning property-holders
to keep sharp lookout.
Which is of the most value to a man, his
house or his body? He may procure more
than one house, but can never hope to
have more than one body. Then why
should he not take better care of himself
than of his house?
The Mutual Accident Association of
North America, Seattle, Wash, desires to
call the attention of every man who rea-
Lies that his time is worth money, and
who is not imbued with the idea that he
does not need accident insurance, to it's ex-
ceedingly liberal policy. There are great
many men who can see the necessity for
their neighbor to protect themself, because
he is liable TO meet with an accident. This
Is not the class of men who will be in
terested in reading further, and they might
as well stop now. To the ordinary mortal,
seeing and hearing daily of accidents and
death, this may be of some interest
The home Office of the Mutual Accident
Association of North America is Seattle,
Wash, and the officers and trustees are
the following well-known citizens of this
city: President, Angus Macintosh, presi-
dent Merchants National bank; vice presi-
dent, w. Marshall Shaffner, of the Filkins

THE TAYLOR FAMILY DISAPPEARS
1t Looks as Though They Are Profess
sional Swindlers.

sfonai Sw1ndlers.
The Taylor family, composed of E. f.
Taylor, wife and four small children. men
ton of whom was made few days ago as
having came from Durham, n. c., and be-
ing robbed on the way. have apparently
shaken Seattle's dust from their feet.
They have unaccountably disappeared
from the building near police headquarters.
which was allowed them free of charge,
and with their disappearance comes the
story that they are "fakirs" and accom-
plished swindlers. The man may lave at
some time been in Durham, \. c.. but he
came to Seattle from Los Angeles, and
carried away from there 500 of charitable
peoples money.
While they were in Los Angeles, Jerome
Catlin, OF this city, was also there, and he
interested himself in their behalf. Learn
ing that the family had arrived in Seattle
ana that the man was unable to work from
malarlal fever, Mr.. Caein went around
among his friends and in short time COL
Iected $50, with which he intended To al
levlate the wants of the unfortunate fam.
lly, but much TO his modification and cha
grin he discovered that the family were
not deserving, and HAD vanished with the
mists of night.
The $50 which Mr.. Catlin still had in his
possession, fortunately, he has deposited
at the Posr-INTELLIGEScER's business
Office, and he would like to turn the
amount over to the family of y. H. HoI-
gerson, whom Chairman Fred Gasch. of
the board of county commissioners, has
recommended to the charitable public If
any OF the contributors prefer taking hack
the amounts they contributed. they can
have their money returned by calling at
the business office.
The Holgerson family were mentioned
IN the observation-disclosures Yesterday
morning. The family, consisting of a
father, mother and four children. the
eldest boy of but Il years, live in shack
on the tide flats. The father is afflicted
with cancer Of the throat, and doctors
have informed him that he will die The
40 would not prove unwelcome to
this family.
