KENT'S DEAD HORSE.
Policeman's Scheme to Work
Out Relief Fund Deficit.
GIVES HIM ATHREE YEARS JOB.
His Brother Officers Say It Would Put
Premium on Rascality and Re-
solve Against 1t.

The trustees of the Policemen's Relief
Association yesterday prepared petition
to Mayor Ronald regarding the money
held by Patroman A. VI. Kent belonging
to the association. AS to the exact nature
Of the petition, none of the trustees VIII
say anything, further than to intimate
that they are untavorabie TO Kent.
Lieut.. Hanna, who is one of the trustees,
SAID the petition had the sanction of all
three patrols, but its contents would not
be made public unless Mayor Ronald saw
fit to give it out. One of the patro!men
said that when Kent had been informed OF
the action taken he felt very badly.
The policemen claim that Officer Kent
has acted in bad faith all tine way through.
For long time he said he was ready to
pay the money over whenever certain con-
ditions were fulfilled. He all the time
claimed he had the money in the bank and
was holding it sacred as trust fund.
Now he tells different story. He
says he has no money with which
to make good the fund. The
best he has to offer is to allow S. month
to be taken from his salary. AS he owes
the association about $500, this would in
sure him his position Oh the force for forty
months, or three years and four months
The policemen do not like this idea, as
they say it will put premium on rascal
ity, and it is thought that the reso-
lutions ask Mayor Ronald to remove Off,
Ger Kent.
The way in which Officer Kent secured
his position on the force was by promising
Mayor Ronald he would give up the
money. He now repudiates his agree
ment with the mayor and has been trying
TO open negotiations on other terms.

INSPECTOR MALAN'S HEARING.
Strong Combination Seeking to Down
the Plumbing Official.

Strong Combination Seeking to Down
the Plumbing official.
The board of health was engaged yester-
day afternoon in hearing testimony on the
charges preferred against Plumbing In
spector J. r. Malan by committees from
the Plumbers Union and from the Master
Plumbers Association.
The witnesses against Malan were Gill
bert Hutchinson, president Of the Plumb
ers' Union; Edmund Grundy, George H.
Brown and Frank Ward, iourneymen
plumbers. and James Mcintyre, William
ID. Mcmillan, Charles Kaufman and Mr..
kerns, master plumbers. Mr.. McMil-
Ian questioned the witnesses on behalf
of the committees, while Mr.. Malan was
represented by Charles +. Fishback. They
testified as to cases where plumbing work
has not been done according to the require
ments Of the ordinance and Malan had
given certificates of inspection therefor;
that the inspector had been intoxicated
during working hours and had been absent
from the city for several days without
leave of absence or deduction of pay.
Mr.. Mcmillan, who is the chief prose-
cutor. said that he had no particular per-
sonal animus against Malan, but that his
firm was compelled to do their work &C
cording to the requirements of the ordi-
nance, and they could not compete with
rival firms who were not obliged by the
inspector to do likewise.
The hearing was not finished Yesterday,
but was continued until O'Clock this
evening. Mr.. Malan has not yet given
his version of the case, and it is said by
his friends he will come out with flying
coiors when the whole truth is known

Great Northern Engineers Management
S.,s sIa Rridsxa Grificis.d

Great Northern Eng1neefs management
of Snohomish Bridge Criticised.
The Snohomish Eye of November p con-
tanned the following editorial in regard to
the Great Northern bridge over the Sno-
homish river:
Probably the engineers of the Great Northern
railroad know their business, and doubtless
they know why they have not kept the channel
of the river clear during the late rise, but no.
body else can understand their course in the
matter.
1t has been pointed out to these officials that
they built their bridge in way calculated to
obstruct navigation All the results of throw
ing such bridge over the Snohomish river
have been laid before them. TheAe gentlemen
put up their structure in dry time. when the
river was quiet mill pond, only rising
and falling with the tide. The old residents
told them what would happen, 50 that they
could not plead lack OF advice in the matter
In September there was a considerable raise i'll
the river and something OF Il jam OF logs. The
channel could have been kept clear at that time
by the employment OF few experienced men.
Ii may have been carelessness, or perhaps parsi-
mony, that deferred the officials from taking the
proper precautions, and rs Il result tho channel
was .choked UP. At that time the rise came
slowly This time it came up at the rste of
foot aud hour. There IS reason TO believe that
the logs might have been kept in the middle OF
the stream and sent bGrmlessly on their way
down the river. Dul tndt N.s neg Atclcu, the
whole channel became filed. the water has been
diverted 10 the fields and farms, stock is
drowned. dwellings overfiowed or washed away
and the river closed to boats.
