Reports Show That She Drifts North

Speaking Of the mysterious derelict yes
terday, Capt. J. w. McAllep said it was
rather curious that none Of the tugs could
find her. Three times she had been
sighted. first by Capt. Gray, of the Re-
triever, who located her thirty-five miles
southwest of Cape Flattery. The Oakland,
Capt. Welfare, was in company with the
Retriever and sighted the derelict on Feb
ruary 3, locating it forty miles south
southwest of Cape Flattery. On the same
day he saw the Retriever well inside. The
third report is by Capt. Bjorn. of the
Merom, who located the dereiict twenty
five miles west Of Cape Flattery.
From this Capt. McAllep says it is evil
dent that the abandoned vessel was drift
ing nor,hward with the current which, in
strong wind and high seas. should be cal
culated at a knot and hal. an hour, in
better weather about knot an hour. He
thinks the tug captains have not searched
far enough north aud expects the hull to
go ashore on Vancouver island unless
found soon. The first report was tina. she

In checking up tho accounts of Bailif
Wheeler Of the municipal court yesterday.
City Jailer Sheehan found . discrepancy
which caused great excitement and put the
bailiff to the necessity Of trying to make
seven commitments and six prisoners agree
Judge Glasgow had disposed of seven cases
and the clerk had made out the commit
ments. Among the prisoners was Frank
Williams, who was arrested Monday by
Detective Cave and Officer Powers on sus-
picion of connection with the robbery of
f. Voand's tailor shop. The evidence
was insufficient. however. and he and J.
Sullivan. his partner. were tried and con-
victe0 of disorderiy conduct.
Bailiif Wheeler took up the seven com.
mitments and said to his collection of
"drunks' and ''disorderlies." "Come
along" With humble tread and solemn
faces they followed, the bailiF in the lead
and Frank Williams bringing up the end Of
the line. Down Third street and up Yes
Ter avenue. to police headquarters, where
Jailer George Sheehan stood. came the
procession. The baiiiif handed over the
commitments, hustled the men in the door
and started back to the court. Sheehau
then checked them of until he came to
the seventh man. He was not there, and
the expression II at passed over Sheehan's
face WAS like a thunder cloud. Hold
these men," he yelled TO one OF the Offices
in the room. and like = shot he went after
the baiiif.
You've only got six men" said Shee-
han, where is the SEVENTH"
The bail. # didn't know. 1t was mys.
terry TO him. He thought he had seven.
but " hen he saw them he was convinced
one had gone. He rushed into the cou-t
and looked around Then he went out
side and repeated the performance, but
Frank Williams, the man who had
brought up the rear of the column, had
gone 1t was reported At police head
quarters last evening that the bailiff
figured several hours endeavoring to make
seven commitments account for six
prisoners, hat there was always re-
mainier of one.
The real facts regarding Williams clever
escape. as learned ~ a Posr-INTELLi-
oEycER reporter last night, were as fol-
lows: Williams. who is a good-iooking
fellow and always wears good clothes.
walked quietly along with his overcoat
over his arm until he came TO the crowd of
IouuSers at the entrance to the court.
Then he turned like fash and became
one of the crowd. The line filed TO the
left and Williams then went TO the right
and disappeared UP Jefferson street. II is
thought that he went TO Tacoma. and De
tective Cave NAV so there In search of him.

SPOKANE KICKS HARD
A Chorus of Protest Against
New Freight Tariff.
SEATTLE HAS THE ADVANTAGE.
Merchants shut Out Of Much Terri
tory-Appeal to Interstate Com.
mission and Boycott.

The new west-bound freight tariff Of the
three northern transcontinentai railroads
has been received with an almost unani-
nous kick by the Spokane merchants.
They complain that it gives terminal
points such an advantage that they are
practically shut out of the Big Bend,
Okanogan and Central Washington terri
tory districts. and, as points east of Spo-
kane get the same rates as that city. they
nave no advantage in the Ceur d'Alene
country. All trades agree on this point.
I. B. Oliver, of Holley, Mason, Marks &
Co., points out that the total rate from
Chicago. by way of Spokane, to Wenat-
Seattle it IS only $I1O, giving Seat
tie an advantage of % cents. On. hard
ware the aggregate rate through Spo-
kane 10 1921 and through Seattle; 1t
Is 2.5S. an advantage Of 63 cents. The
rates to points in the Palouse country are
the same as to Spokane. so that the
merchants Of Spokane have none the bet
ter OF it there. Robert Easson, who before
accused the Great Northern of backing
out OF its promises, expresses his opinion
OF his performance of them by saying in
plain Anglo-Saxon:
. III 1lll II y ll8F ana the Ifutu Is not
in him."
The Spokane people are SO angry that
they are talking Of appealing to the inter-
state commerce commission and of boy
cotting the Great Northern, as the follow
ing telegram shows:
TACOMA, Feb lA-lspecial. prominent and
Indignant Spokane business men have decided
to bring suits against the transcontincntal roads
which decided upon the new coast and inter.
mediate points tariff rates at St Paul to compel
them to reduce the tariffs from to 10 per cent
below those adopted. They claim the interstate
commission ordered 6pok ane to have rate IS
per cent below Coast rates, aud instead Of CIV
ing this transcontinentsl roads have given q
rate only from ~ to 10 per cent less than to
the Coast Spokane merchants who have
prepared for the transaction OF whole
sale business on the expectation Of
reduced rates are especially indignant at
President Hill, OF the Great Northern. He
promised them. it IL authoritatively stated, a
rate 40 per cent lower than to the Coast, but in
stead of giving II, he has agreed to a rate giving
them fer below what the interstate commission
directed They will ship nothing by the Great
Northern, therefore. but will route car load lots
now ordered via the Union Pacific, aud in pay.

NOT OPEN FOR FREIGHT YET.



Great Northern Blocked by snow-First
Train Coming West.
Notwithstanding the published state
ment that the Great Northern Is ready to
receive east-bound freight and that regu-
lar freight trains will DO put into service
in . few days, such is not the case. The
road is still blockaded by snow on this
side Of the summit. The psy car has been
over week trying to reach the end of the
line on this side from Spokane, and is now
stuck in the snow forty miles east of Sno-
homish. The paymaster concluded that
time would be saved by using show shoes,
and abandoned the car with the intention
of walking to the cleared part at this end
and there taking the construction train
for Lowell. Superintendent Farrell's
gangs are at work. however, clearing the
track, and with the aid of the present fine
weather, it is thought that the road will
be opened within week or ten days.
Freight for Seattle is already ON the
way over the Great Northern and will
come in as soon as the road is cleared. The
bills of lading for the freight have been re-
ceived at the offices in this city. General
Manager Shelby says that he expects to be
able to accept freight for the East on Feb
ruary 20. on which day the new east
bound tariff goes into effect.
