to have been committing the burglary.
They seem to have overlooked this fact
when they arrested him. or they have 30
many prisoners secretly confined in their
dungeons that they cannot keep track OF
them. He will probably be discharged on
3 writ Of habeas corpus.
Sullivan and Clark were both brought
before Justice Caldwell for hearing yester-
day. but the state obtained = continuance
until next Thursday. although the de.
Tense was ready. Chief Jackson. all the
lieusenants and several more police off,
GERS were present. Tyler & Tyler and w.
w. Stewart. attorneys for the defendants.
obtained permission to consult with their
clients in private. and then had to get an
order of the court to drive half dozen po-
licemen from their Office, where the con-
suitation occurred. Sullivan informed
them that on the date mentioned he had
been confined in the city Jail. which was
verified by the records. He was arrested
February Is. fined SIS and committed
in default Of payment till the 9th. The
attorneys will institute habeas corpus
proceedings today to release Sullivan.
The only evidence against him is that he
threw away chisel just before his arrest.
A Mrs. Dahlquist. who lives near the
residence of DR.. George, saw the prisoners
at the police station yesterday. and identi-
fled Clark rs the man she saw in the neigh
borhood the evening of the burglary. 1t
is said that the police have evidence that
Clark has shaved off his mustache within
q few days.

Visit OF Tacoma Oniciais in Search a.
Information.

Yesterday City Comptroller Slaughter
and Councilman +. Sieinbach. Of Tacoma,
paid a visit TO Seattle in order to inquire
into the amount paid by this city for the
Spring hill water plant, and its value and
condition At that time. They were re-
ceived by Comptroller Carson and given
all the information they needed. They
took the opportunity to visit City Treas
urer krug. to see how he KEEP: his books,
and spoke in high terms of the excellent
system. They were entirely non-commit-
tai on the subject of water WORKS. They
also visited ths board OF public works and
Secretary Heifner answered their questions
as 20 the method of carrying on the city,
works.
Mr.. Colman mas deferred his visit to the
Lake Washington pumping station until
the Holly pump IS in working order. 1t
was unfortunate that Immediately after
the other experts had pronounced the ma
chinery in excellent condition the Holly
pump broke down and has been idle ever
since.
On Wednesday night people on the hill
suddenly found themselves without water
and without moments notice. The
cause was that one of the engineers has
been removed or resigned, one of the fire
men has typhoid fever. another has a
felon. and there were thus three green
hands a, the works The result was that
the boilers ran down and the water STOPPED
flowing. II is expected that the Holly
will be running by tonight.

claims that the defendants also promised

defendants refuse to pay of so a. to con-
vey the plaintiff a clear title. He also
claims that the mortgage renders the eight

out $500 worth Of work.
Pratt says that, relying upon the con-
tract. when he had fulfilled his side of it,
he improved the land to the extent of $780,
de therefore prays judgment for 81 800 as
compensation for the loss which he has
sustained by the refusal Of the defendants
to carry out their agreement.

voted chiefly to the consideration of the
proposed enlargement of the edifice.

pointed to consider the matter, reported
that 400 additional seats could be secured

about 5000. Considerable discussion EN-.
sued as to this and other plans, in which
J. NJ. Colman. A. p. Burwell and limo.
theus Josenhans took the leading part.
Mr.. Colman favored the plan of raising

GOT RID OF THE OLD OFFICERS.

GOT RID OF THE OLD OFFICERS.
Clever Maneuver by which High school
Cadets Change Commanders.
The high school cadets have just shown
that they are budding statesmen by a
political maneuver by which they have
succeeded in getting rid of some obnoxi-
Gus officers and selecting an entirely new
set. Some dissatisfaction existed in the
ranks OF the future presidents over the
quick. sharp, masterful tones of command
used by the officers during drill. OF course,
this could not be resented; the organiza-
ton must be preserved, too. The officers
were elected for the term of one year. aud
there was nothing tangible on which to
impeach them. The only way out of the
difficulty was to legislate the officers out
of existence. Accordingly a movement
was inaugurated, and successfully carried
out, to adopt new constitution. The new
code was very little different from the old
one, except that the committee on disci-
pine was increased from three 70 five
members, and the rules of order were
made /: little fuller. Then new election
for officers was held, with the following
result:
Captain, NJ. NJ Moss; first lieutenant, W. A.
Garlic; second lieutenant, c. H. MCGOWAN; first
sergeant, William Inglia The following non
commissioned officers were appointed BY Capt
Moss: Second sergeant, F. Frazier: third ser
geant, G. Allen: fourth sergeant. R L Ross:
fifth sergeant. G. Ffink; color sergeant. 6. J..

A Hlissinx Ordnance.

The ordinance providing that saloons be
closed between midnight and a. m. has
mysteriously disappeared. 1t has been
missed for several days. but it was ex-
pected it might be found in the desk of
President Kioeber. A search last night
failed to unearth it. DR.. Kloeber suggested
last night to Mr.. Coryeli, its author. to
introduce another. but that gentleman
says if he does he will make the closing
hour 1 O'Clock, as there was SO much oppo-
sition to the midnight provision.
