Katie Putnam's second Night.

Katie Putnam had a much larger audi
ence last night. in fact, the Seattle thea
ter was filled IN every part. and ii seemed
as though such public recognition had
its effect upon those OF the company play
ing the lighter parts, for their perform
ance had with il vim that enthused the
house into tumults of laughter and an
plause. OF course there must be lots OF
fun in any character that the star selects
as her speciality and also a touch OF pathos
In such roles many years ago she came
very near making herself famous, and she
has maintained the same roles with de-
gree of perfection that has assured her
welcome everywhere. She brought with
her, too a good all round company, and the
play of ''The Old Lime Kiln" which Mr.
Darcy, its author. considers in some re-
spects. his masterpiece. The gentleman
who plays the part of the heroine's father
was especially good last night. IL is an or
binary character, SO TO speak, and yet one,
as shown last night, that can be made
much of by careful and artistic study
There was a quiet perfection about the
fond father, being pleaded with by his
daughter TO give up the opium habit that

Ex-Gov. wsrmoth said today; kellogg

DUNRAyEN SHOULD APOLOGIZE.
London Papers Tell the surly Earl
What to Do.

London, Feb, 1.-The St James Gazette
sayJ: The report OF the New York Yacht
Club committee makes it clear: First, that
a very serious accusation was brought by
Lord Dunrayen on the fiimsiest possible
evidence. second. that the New York Yacht
Club has given his lordship severe lesson
In fairness and good manners. Lord Dun
raven in support of his charge produced
only impressions and guesswork. If the
accusation of unfair running was invest-
gated by jockey club and found to have
no better origin. we doubt Il the club would
coniine itself to the use of the mild word

cludes. Lord Dunraven owes 1t to i'm
self as a gentleman TO apologize 10 those
he accused unjustifably."
OF the evening papers only the Pail Mall
Gazette and the Globe comment upon the
finding of the New York Yacht Club com
mittee against Lord Dunraven in the
charges which the latter brought against
the Defenders handlers. The Globe heads
a somewhat sarcastic article; Lord Dun
raven Justified" and adds: The COM
mittee would have done better to fatty
refuse to prosecute an inquiry which their
action made of no value" In regard to
the evidence, the Globe says: at is a lit
tie unfortunate that so much cutting up

PROTEST THROWN OUT
Decision in the s. A. c. Port

THE CHARGES NOT SUSTAINED.
Complete yfndlcafion for the Seattle
Football Club by the Protest
Committee.

The celebrated protest Of the Port Town
send Athlete Club against the 5. A. G, in
which Il was alleged that some Of the asen-
bers Of the latter team were professionals,
has been decided. and the decision Is 3 COM
plete yiadicaf.on OF the Seattle Athletic
Club IN every way. The Port Townsend
club receives a severe rebuke from Mr.
Gum. a member OF the committee from
Astoria, for protesting the officials after
having played part Of game
IL VIII De recalled that IN the Thaaksgly-
ing football contest between the 3 A c.
and Port Townsend the 5. A. C. team ad-
ministered a crushing defeat 10 their rivals
In the hrst half, whereupon the Port Town.
SEND men withdrew from the game and
subsequently, protested the officials. in
connection with other charges.
Mr.. Gum says that where a team plays
part Of game IL would be In bad taste
and establish a dangerous precedent TO al
low such team, liable 10 defeat, 10 protest
the officials al that late hour and expect
relief from the committee in the way of
helping them 10 victory they had no show
Of winning.
This decision is now on its way TO Presi-
dent Curtis. of the Pacific Coast ANA. eur
Athletic Association, for transmission to
the board OF governors for ratification.
Without doubt the decision VIII give sat-
isfaction 10 all lovers of amateur sport, ex-
ceptlng, perhaps. the protesting club. The
investigation in this city OF Port Town
sends charges was an open and above
heard proceeding II should DC said in JUS
tice to 5. PRESIDENTIAL and j. S. Goldsmith.
who sat as part of the committee IN this
city, that no one was denied Abundance
during the investigation. The press WAS
allowed 10 be present and report what took
place.
The mode OF procedure of the protest
committee which consists of three MEM
hers. where mail votes are taken, is for the.
papers TO be acted upon by two members
OF the committee. and II disagreement
occurs the chairman casts the iecldiag
vote In this case Mr.. Gum, OF Astoria,
and Mr. Goldsmith, OF Seattle. were the
committeeman acting in conjunction with
Sol Prudential as chairman. Mr.. Gum
has, by his vote just given, overrulad the
protest of Port Townsend in every partic-
ular. His reasons for so doing are that
Port Townsend failed to substantiase her
charges as to profession alism Of iniivid-
ual members Of the 5. a. C, and on account
OF the conclusive proof on the part Of he
protested members that there were no
grounds for their being protested. Every
statement in Port Townsend's original S
well as supplemental protest were, BY affi-
davits, etc, shown TO be without force.
Mr.. Goldsmiths decision was in SUBJ
stance the same as that of air. Gum.
Chairman Prudential concurred with the
other two members of the committee in
every respect.
