The bill is exactly like the one that was passed

GIRL BRINGS THE ACTION.

The mother superior of the House of the
1ooo shepherd has been made defendant In
haoeas corpus proceeding instituted by Celis
Brochi on behalf OF her sister. Frances Brochi.
l6-year-oid girl. A petition fled yesterday in
the superior court alleges that tie girl is IN
lawfully restrained of her liberty at the institu-
tion, which is represented to be reform school
ior girls, but has no authority OF law as such.
The restraint imposed is claimed to be illegal
because there were no proceedings against the
girl by which any one was gwen any authority
TO deprive her OF her liberty. 1t is charged that
Frances Is kept prisoner and compelled to per-
form labor OF a mental nature; that she is not
being taught anything in the way of education,
and is not allowed to correspond or communi-
cate with her friends
The pretense upon which she is kept at the
House OF the Good Shepherd is alleged to be
that she was left there by her mother The petit
ton sets out, however. that the mother, who
lives in Skagit county, told her daughter to
leave home The girl then came to Seattle. and
the mother caused her arrest here. She was
confined in the city Jail for twenty-four hours
without any charge being placed against her.
She was then taken TO the House OF the Good
Shepherd, while the mother abandoned her and
went home to Skagit county.
Judge Lichtenberg issued writ returnable IN
March 8, when the case will come up for trial.

married at Stratford, Ontario, in September.

failed to provide for the plaintiff, and has been
IN drunken condition quite often, during
which times he abused her. On Tuesday, she
says, he came home intoxicated, and, catching
her by the hair, kicked and beat her, at the

SEATTLE. Feb. 2s I9oo

SEATTLE, Feb. Is, 1902.
The Ladies' Shoe Depart
ment is still offering to eco
nomical women splendid buying
chances. There are many
lines that are offered at re-
duced prices.
The Ladies Shoe Depart
ment will shortly be celebrating
its first anniversary in its pres
ent quarters, and also the first
year of its existence as an ex-
clusively ladies' and children's
department. When we put
the department on the second
floor and announced that it
would be devoted exclusively
to ladies', misses, infants and
boys shoes, there were wise
ones who predicted it would
be failure. 1t is pleasant to
say, after the first year, that
the department has proved a
complete success; that its bust
ness today is treble what it was
one year ago; that its history
has been one of steady in
crease.
There are reasons for this
wonderful success. Perhaps
they may be summarized as:
First-strict attention to the one class OF
shoes.
soeond-Keeping the best.
housekeeping all sizes and largest assert
ment
Fourth-selling at the lowest prices
Any one of these reasons is
sufficient to merit a good pat
ronage. Where all exist they
are sure to win.

Fourth-To obtain employment for those in

means to prevent begging and raise the needy

SILENT EVIDENCE OF A CRIME.
Blood-Stained Dagger Found Under q
WhitechapeI Dive.

A dagger covered with blood stains was found
by Officer Powers yesterday on the tide fats,
directly beneath notorious dive in White
chapel. Several days ago the dive was the scene
OF stabbing ARRAY among several japanese
restaurantkeepers who fought for the hand OF a
good-looking Japanese girl, upon whom three of
them were waiting. One of the Japs was
stabbed four times, but was not seriously
wounded. Whether the dagger is a relic of that
affray or is evidence of new deed OF blood the
officer is unable to determine.
The blood on the point and sides of the dag
ger is clotted and does not look over twenty-four
hours old. The officer is inclined to the belief
that some one has been killed and his body
dropped in the bay.
The dagger with its blood-stained blade has
been added TO the collection of relics OF crime
which is on exhibition at police headquarters.
