BOSS OF THE FIRST.
Joe Livingston Will Run the
Democratic Machine.
SOME NEAT WIRE PULLING.
Gossip About the Democratic Nomina-
ton for MayoF-Ronald Seems
to Lead Now.

The meeting of the First ward Demo-
Gratis last night was mainly interesting as
a demonstration of the fact that Joseph
Livingston is undeniably boss of the or
ganizatlon there. Last Saturday evening
Boss Livingston's friends were elected
officers as follows: President, Romayne
Fitzgerald; vice president, Ben Pincos;
secretary, T. ]. Kelly, and treasurer, Mr..
Murdoch. President Fitzgerald also ap-
pointed an executive committee consisting
of Livingston and two of his supporters.
The result, however, was not gratifying to
some of the older Democrats of the ward,
who had been running the machine, and
they stoutly declared that the election had
been snapped" on them, and that at the
next meeting of the club they would rally
In force and down the new boss.
But Livingston had taken lessons in
Chicago ward politics from his boyhood,
and accordingly he spent the week in
working to make his supremacy undis-
puted. 1t was no surprise to him then
when the rank and file of his company
Interchangeable the band played "An-
ME Laurie" and several other tunes.
There was a feeling of expectancy in the
crowd as President Fitzgerald called for
order and asked to have the minutes of
the last meeting read. When Secretary
Kelly had done this, Boss Liv-
ingston promptly moved the adop-
ton of the minutes. The question
was put and carried with storm of ayes
against a few growing noes. Livingston
smiled family and nodded to Fitzgerald
who remarked: "At the last meeting the
executive committee was appointed by the
chair. This was a mistake; the club
should elect them. Nominations are in
order"
81 nominate Joe Livingstone said
Treasurer Murdoch. The secondlng came
quickly and in Livingston went.
The boss smiled again and without delay
called out, 81 nominate Leander Miller"
and Leander Miller was the next member
of the committee. Someone next pro-
posed John w. Considine. President
Fitzgerald leaned forward and in a stage
whisper said to Considine, who sat in
front, "Get up and say you resignp
Considine rose, and toying with his sill
ver-handled umbrella, repeated neat lit
tie speech about his Outside duties" etc.
Boss Livingston nodded, and James Quill
ter received a nomination. and in the same
cut-and-dried manner declined. Then A.
I. Pinckney was chosen to fill the third
place.
This little performance having closed,
James +. McElroy and B. f. Debow made
speeches denouncing the Republicans.
Debow caused a good deal of laughter by
telling how on his way down town he had
noticed a sign "Unredeemed pledges for
sale" This place he declared must be the

DECISION ON RAILROAD LAW.

snsfer Company Not Common Carriers
Tor Freight Not Tran sferable.
u. A c. Rochester was given a verdict
In Judge Osborn's department of the su-
per1or court yesterday in suit in re-
pievin. brought to recover possession of a
iot OF household and Office furniture from
the Seattle Transfer Company. The suit
upon trial resolved itself into question
OF law, and the principal points which
were to have been brought out did not ap-
pear at all.
". a. G. Rochester about a year ago
shipped lot of goods from Kansas City
70 Seattle. preparing the freight. When
ne got to this city he employed the Seattle
transfer Company to deliver them for SIS.
AFTER delivering part of them it
heid the rest, claiming that until
Mr.. Rochester paid 1924, which it had
advanced for the payment of freight, it
would keep the goods. As he had paid
the charges in advance. he refused to pay
the amount demanded, and sued out a
writ OF replevin upon which he secured
the goods.
Judge Osborn held that the transfer CON-
pany could not hold the goods, because it
had no lien upon them, and the lien which
the Northern Pacific railroad might have
mad was not transferable The transfer
company. he held, simply acted as ware
housemen, and not as common carriers.
lie therefore directed the jury to find a
verdict for the plaintiff.

he was leaving Seattle. He did not state
how much the affidavit of man who

did he inform those with certificates for

FOUGHT In THE DARK.
A Dollar Causes a Savage
Chinese Scrimmage.
LEE NoB's BLOOD FLOWS FREELY
He Seeks Revenge on His False Friend,
Lin Ching, but is woefulIy Used
Up in the Fray.

"A desperate fight among three China
men took place at an early hour yesterday
ana TWO laundrymen, named Lin Ching
ana Sen Lung, were arrested on a warrant
sworn out by a cigarmaker named Lee
NOD, who charged them with assault with
deadly weapon.
Lee Mob is employed by Wan Lee, on
Main street, and has known Lin Ching for
twenty years, they having been boys to-
gether in China. Not long ago Ching bor-
rowed 81 from Mob and short time after
ward Moo asked for the money, but Ching
denied having borrowed it. This led to
hight In which Mob tried to cut Ching's
queue of, and was only prevented from
committing this horrible act of mutilation
by several friends who separated them.
Since then the Cinnamon have been mortal
enemies
Early yesterday morning Ching was
awakened by some one in his room, which
Is In laundry at the corner of Washing
ton and South Sixth streets. He awoke
Sen Lung, who was spending the night
with him. They Lit lamp, and Ching
saw, crouched in one corner of the room,
Lee Mob, his enemy. Mob made an at
tempt to get away, but Ching seized him
and Lung also took hand in the fight
which followed Immediately. Mob fought
ike demon to get away, and in the melee
the bed was broken, boxes, which served
as chairs, were tossed about the room. and
hnally the lamp was overturned. In fall
ing it went out and left the terrified
lighters in darkness.
The noise attracted the other Cinnamon
who lived in the house. and when they ar
rived with light bloody spectacle met
their gaze. Lying across the broken bed
was Mob, apparently dead, with long
cash in his forehead, from which the blood
oozed with each beat of the heart. There
was blood on the face and hands of Ching,
but 1t was soon discovered that it was
Nob's blood, and not his own.
Mob came to in short time and was at
tended by Chinese doctor; meanwhile
Ching and Lung packed up their earthly
possessions with the intention of fleeing,
but were captured last evening just as
they We're leaving for Victoria.
How Mob was hurt is matter of con-
lecture. Mob says Ching cut him with
knife, while Ching says Mob fell against
window and the wound was inflicted by
the broken glass.
Ching admits that he borrowed the
money from Mob. When asked why he
would not acknowledge the debt he said:
81 was only fooling. would have paid
him. won't pay it now, though"
