NATIONAL BANKS SUE.
To Enjoin the Collection Of
Taxes by the County.
INTERESTING QUESTIONS OF LAW
Hard Legal Fight Will Result
Plaintiff in q Damage Suit Testihes
From an InvaIid's Chair.

number of suits were brought yester-
day in the United States court and in the
superior court of King county by the
National banks of the city against County
Treasurer Phelps to enjoin the collection
of certain taxes, which will put in issue
some interesting points of law. The COM
plants in the different suits. which are all
practically the same, set out that all of
their shares of stock have been assessed at
the rate of 13 mills on the dollars. They
allege that under the tax Law of
1901 of this state shares of stock are ex-
empt from taxation. By the Revised
Statutes of the United States banking
capital can be taxed only by shares, while
the assessors have assessed the bank as
whole instead of the individual share
holders. Again, BY concerted action on
the part of the different assessors of the
state, all notes and mortgages. which
aggregate s26, 900, 900, have been exempted
from the assessment. All other capital is.
however, assessed and the exemption of
the notes and mortgages greatly increases
the rate on the other. The plaintiffs
maintain that this discrimination is
illegal.
Five of the suits are brought in the
united states court by the Seattle Ma
tional bank. the First National bank. of
Seattle, the Puget Sound National bank,
of Seattle. the Boston National bank, of
Seattle, and the National Bank of Com
merce, whose assessments range rom
$1,000 to $500 each. The Washington
National bank, of Seattle, and the Com
mercial National bank, whose assessments
are each less than $1,000, bring suit
in the state court. All of the complaints
pray that the assessment may be decreed
illegal, that temporary order Issue to en-
join the collection of the assessment and
that upon final hearing the injunction
be mad permanent.
The cases are of unusual interest be-
cause the points of law raised have never
been adjudicated in this state. The banks
are represented by Preston, Carr &; Pres
ton and James 3. Howe. and propose to
make a vigorous fight. The cases IN the
superior court will certainly be taken to
the supreme court, and if the plaintiffs
are beaten there they propose going to the
supreme court of the United States.

IN AN INvALID'S CHAIR.
The Plaintiff in a Damage Suit Wheeled
Into Court to Testify.

Judge Osborn's courtroom presented an
unusual appearance yesterday afternoon
when witness, reclining in an invaIids
chair, was testifying to the jury in the
damage suit of Mrs. Annie Sears against
the Seattle Consolidated Street Railway
Company. The witness was Mrs. Sears
herself, and it is claimed that her physical
condition is due entirely to an accident
which happened through the negligence of
the defendants employees.
The complaint in the case alleges that
on September 16, 1891, Mrs. Sears took
passage on one of the company's cars for
Fremont. On the way the car ran into a
wagon which was being drawn along the
track ahead of the car and the force of
the collision threw her from the car to the
ground. She received injuries to her head,
spine and limbs, which kept her IN bed
for some time and have made her life.
time invalid. She sued for 81, 900 dam
ages.
The defense claims that every effort was
made TO prevent the collision, which
happened while the car was going down
grade; that the motorman rang the bell
number of times and attempted to stop
the car, but could not; that Mrs. Sears
became frightened and jumped from the
car.
Mrs. Sears was wheeled into court in the
chair and in front of the jury, where she
gave her testimony. The evidence in the
case was not finished and will be resumed
this morning

oKANoGAN COUNTY MINES.
New Stamp Mills Being Built and Proi
pectors Rushing IN.

F. w. Dunn, vice president of the Ever
EFT COLD Mining Company, of Loomiston,
Okanogan county. is at the Northern, and
l.. W. Getchell, who is largely interested
with him, accompanied him back from
Loomiston. In an interview with Posi-
1STELLIGEScER reporter Mr.. Dunn said:
We are running five-stamp mill at the War
Eagle and Black Bear mines at Loomiston,
which is twenty-five miles north of Conconully,
and are shipping from 1000 to 5000 worth of
gold week to the San Francisco mint We are
now putting in a twenty stamp mill.
Two other stamp mills are going up in that
sectional silver mill at Ruby and one which
the Dexters are putting up between Conconully
and Johnston. An English syndicate is also
about to put in concentrating works and silver
amalgamating mills on Okanogan Smiths prop
erty on the Similkameen, and will invest about
100000 there. There is quite n rush into our
section, and people coming in there have to
telegraph ahead from Spokane to Coulee City
for seats on the stage, and sleeping accommoda-
ton is at a premium.

FINE STONE RESIDENCE ROW.
Some Handsome Dwellings to Be
Erected in Seattle.

Work will be begun at once in this city
on some of the finest stone dwellings west
Of Chicago.
John Parkinson has taken out permit
for the erection Of seven houses at the
corner of Marion and Twelfth streets, and
workmen are already busy at the excava-
ton. Mr.. Parkinson intends to have a
terrace or row of such stone fronts as are
seen by the hundred in New York and
Chicago. Each building will be faced with
smooth Tenino blue stone. Brick fire
walls will separate the several structures,
and the rear walls will be of brick Six of
the houses will face on Marion street and
one on Twelfth. Each will cover space
20 feet by 20, will be three stories high and
contain twelve rooms. The bath rooms,
plumbing, heating apparatus and all the
other equipments will be of the best and
according to the latest improvements.
Mr.. Parkinson said yesterday: "These
dwellings will be the best west of the
Rocky mountains. / shall rent them, and
l am building them because l believe
there is now a demand here for houses as
fine as those of the large Eastern cities"

Spring in the Archipelago De Haro.

OLGA. San Juan County, March o.
Especial. Rev. S. r. s. Gray, of East
Sound, will no longer direct the horticul-
turai operations of the Orcas Island Fruit
Company, owned by Mr.. Baxter and other
Seattle capitalists. Mr.. Gray is the Epis-
copal clergyman of East Sound, and has
important realty interests in that town,
having been in fact largely instrument
in building it to its present prosperity.
East Sound is preparing for very busy
summer season this year, and no doubt
will justify its reputation as the bar
Harbor of the Northwest" The pretty
cottages which abound there are being re-
furnished and painted in bright hues, and
the ground is being laid out in flower beds
in anticipation of the summer boarder.
Several new houses are in the course of
erection, the most pretentious being that
of Captain Grahams. The captain is a
newcomer who lately i'm migrated to these
pleasant parts from Fairhaven, where he
officiated as the manager of the Fairhaven
Club. Originally ne belonged to the
Forty-second Highlanders, the famous
Black Watch. He has seen much service,
and was mighty man of war.
The herring fishery, which is usually at
month of February, has not been so sue
cessful this year as usual, although the
fish appeared in what would seem to the
inexperienced eve countless numbers.
The run of spring salmon is already on
and the Tyhee (Oncorynchus chouicha), of a
favor and delicacy equal to the best Scotch
fish, is daily dish on the tables of even
the poorest settlers here.
he 10
ufacturing Company, at Newhalls land
ing, Orcas island, started its mill, which
has been lying idle for'so time, in full
force again on the 9Th inst. Mr. Newhall
anticipates busy and prosperous season,
and already has large number of orders
ahead. He says that so many new resi-
dents are coming into the island and so
much more land being put into berry and
fruit culture that he expects in the future
that it will tax the mill to its fullest ca
pacity to supply the demand for lumber
and fruit and berry boxes, while the ex-
tensive orders for slaves that he has on
hand show conclusive evidence that the
development of the lime-burning interests
of the islands are greatly on the increase.
The Newhall Bros. are also the posses
sors of one of the most important gold
and silver mining properties recently dis
covered on Orcas island. The find" lies
directly back OF and only about quarter
of mile distant from their mill, and the
outcroppings assay 81 per ton. They are
now running a tunnel of about 200 feet in
length to intersect the vein at depth of
about 100 feet. They are deeply inter
ested, and propose TO find out whether the
reality IS as good as the indications are
promising.

English Investment in Colorado.

DENVER, March 10.-The Travellers In
surance Company has given an option on
all their property in Colorado to John c.
Montgom cry, of this city. The transac-
ton will be closed this week and new
company of gigantic proportions formed.
So far as learned, it is the intention of
Montgomery to place this enterprise in
England, to be added to grant of 1,000.-
600 acres of land, owned by Q. i. Shaw, of
Boston, adjoining some of the insurance
land. and situated in Colorado and New
Mexico. The. amount of the option is
said to be 81, 010, 900, and the land put into
the scheme by Shaw is valued at $4,000
600, which would make the enterprise
reach the enormous sum of s., 900 90.

timber and masonry, thus saving about s5oOO1'

On this question the committee seemed
to disagree with Mr.. Allen, and SAID that
composite locks would not answer and that
as the cost of masonry locks was but little
more, it would be best to have solid ma
sonry, because they would last longer and
be stronger.
At the close of the session Senator Squire

ture asking for the construction of this
canal and for congress to make sufficient
appropriation to commence work thereon.

COMING FOR HIS PAY.
New and Curious Phase in the
SulIiyan-Ronald Deal.
THE DEBT is REPUDIATED.
Democratic Central Committee Appro.
prIated the 81 900 to Other Uses
After the Exposure.

The Ronald-Sullivan matter has as
sumed a somewhat curious phase. II
will be remembered that Immediately
after the exposure of the connection OF
Sullivan and his detectives with the Dem
ocratic campaign, the Democratic COM
mittee procured telegram from. Nj. Z.
Sullivan denying that they had entered
into any contract with him or that his
men were working for them.
In view Of the exposure of the sullivan
matter and the publication OF the tele-
grams which connected Mavor-elect Rom
aid and the Democratic committee with
the detectives the committee decided not
TO paw Sullivan for the services rendered,
and the 50, 600 laid aside for that purpose
were used for other Legitimate" campaign
expenses.
Sullivan now demands his money. The
Democrats refuse to pay and in justifica-
ton of their refusal biandly point to the
telegram which, in the innocence of his
heart, Sullivan sent at their dictation. In
this telegram he denies the existence Of
the arrangement on which he wishes to
collect his pagan arrangement which
was fairly made and under which the
Sullivan men did effective work for the
Democrats.
Sullivan threatens to bring suit but it
is not likely that the Democrats will allow
the matter to go into court. They will
probably prefer to satisfy Sullivan even if
they have to pay the entire amount of his
claim.
Sullivan is expected here today to look
after his interest in the matter. He will
doubtless make every effort to collect his
pay, but it is generally supposed that some
compromise will be arrived at and that he
will go away satisfied with a portion of the
stipulated price.
