The more inquiry that Is made concern
ing the author OF the telegram sent TO
Attorney w. r. Gay. announcing tnat
Deputy Sheriff 4. @. Lane and Lew
Smith had changed their plans ana would
arrive in Seattle Saturday evening IN
stead OF Friday. the deeper becomes ina
mystery.
Mr.. Gay certainly received telegram
signed Levi" and he was positive from
its contents that his client would not
reach the city at the time previously an
nounced. On the other hand. when
Post-Inteliigencer reporter called upon
Prosecuting Attorney McElroy and told
him about the telegram, he said that he
had not heard a word from Lane about
a change in his plans, and II ne did not
arrive with Smith he CMcElroy) would
know the reason why.
Lane denies having sent the telegram.
and Smith knows nothing about IL
Smith also says that he did not get the
telegram sent 10 him BY Attorney Gay,
which cautioned him 10 keep his mouth
shut
Deputy Sheriff Lane had a thrilling ex-
perience while on his way from Nancou-
Yer 10 Gibson's Landing after Smith. the
weather was rough and the waves rolled
and tossed about in an angry manner
When Rainy Beach, or something ike that
name, was reached, Lane and the Nanoou-
Yer officer. who had kindly accompanied
him, decided TO go ashore 10 see If Smith
was there. A big rowboat was launched
and in climbed Lane and his companion.
Lane did the rowing, and when within
about fifty feet of shore the breakers SIM
ply rolled the boat over and dumped the
officers into the drink" The water was
bitter cold and came up TO Lanes breast
He tried 10 walk ashore, and every step
he took he got biffed by big masses of
water. After a tiresome struggle he and
his companion reached the beach and took
a rest. Their clothes were frozen stiff. To
add TO their discontinue Smith was not
there. They tried 10 launch their boat, but
IL was filled with water. Three times did
they try to get out from the shore. and
each time found thai the breakers were too
much for them. Finally. some fishermen
waded out to a big boat anchored, and
then towed the beach-wrecked officers to
the tug.
Dick Burkman is no longer connected
with the sheriffs office. His commission
expired the 18th, but he quit last week
According TO street talk. 4. G. Lane and
Burkman are not friendly.

RIVALS IN TRADE.
San Francisco Getting Alaska Busi-
ness Away From seattle.

According TO a well-known commercial
traveller from San Francisco, the merch-
ants and shippers OF that city are arrang-
ing for special rates on Alaska business,
so that while the freight rate there ia NOM
inally 81 per ton more than the rate from
Seattle TO san Francisco. IL II IN reality
less In conversation with a PoSt-lnteili-
gencer reporter yesterday the gentleman
from the Golden Gate expressed MS sur
prise that Seattle IS not doing more 10 re-
tain and strengthen her hold on Alaska
trade. which he comedies Is hers by right
of geographical position.
The conversation came up In connection
with the work that the Post-Intelligencer
has done in promoting the mining inter
ests of the state of Washington.
Said the commercial man: There Is no
doubt in my mind that the Post-Inteiligen-
Ger has created. by its articles on the sub
ject OF mining. a great interest In the state
of Washington and also In the kootenai
country Now all this talk has benefited
Spokane enormously. but Seattle has not
profited by 1t to any great degree Ny
opinion is that the Post-Intelligencer
should pay greater attention 10 Alaska
and should boom Alaska trade TO the limit
A big part Of the Alaska business is trib-
utary TO Seattle; all of it should be. from
the position the place has on the map. You
people up here are missing your oppor-
tunity. San Francisco is getting big
part of the trade. II Is. in the FIRST place.
a bigger market and competition is closer
there than here.
Then there is the matter of freight
rates. Before your second line of Alaska
steamers was put on the route the freight
rate from Frisco was $40. and from Puget
sound 81 per ton. Now with reduced
rates the freight from San Francisco to
Alaska is only 81 more than from Puget
sound With a lower market and con-
hdentlal rates that operate against you.
San Francisco is getting business that
should come to Seattle. The merchants
down there are able to absorb the dollar
difference and make competition even /.
the reason that they get 1t being that they
go after Il harder than you do.
My argument is that the Post-fntelli-
gancer should boom Alaska. which. IN a
business way. is tributary 10 Seattle, hard
er than 1t does the British Columbia min
ing country that is tributary in part to
Spokane"

Within three or four days there Will DC
little glass houses placed unaer al '3e
sre alarm boxes and in these houses VIII
h. KEYS 10 be used when II Is necessary %
turn in an alarm.
This announcement was given out last
night BY Chief Gardner kellogg, or the nre
departmsnt, and IL viii appeal 10 the hoass-
holders OF the city as being one OF tse
most important steps ever taken 10 oiinlh-
ish the time between the discovery OF q
IRE and sending ia the alarm IL : no
torious fact that in many instances ths
fire department has been delayed as iehs
as four or FIVE minutes because the one
who wanted 10 turn in an alarm could
not find the key.
The loss OF even a minute means, in
many instances, hundreds. perhaps thou-
sands OF dollars. There is a vast diHerenee
between extinguishing a fire that Is Just
getting started and one that has gotten
fairly under Roadway. Time, down 10
seconds. is a big factor In the work of a
FIRE department, and the idea or putting
KEYS az the alarm boxes is an important
step. The only objection that can De pos
s{bly offered is that some person or eVn
disposition might break the glass and turn
in an alarm. Just 10 give the boys
run. This objection. however, can De USED
in connection with the auxiliary system,
which has proved itself benefit on many
fire alarms, however, makes II a serious
matter TO turn in false alarms. 80 Chief
Kellogg does not worry much IN that re-
spect-
Under the present system ii is provided
that keys shall be placed in the houses
nearest the boxes. Ii has been found by
actual experience that the keys are not al
ways there This happens from various
reasons; sometimes the keys are lost and
again people are prone TO move from one
house 10 another and IL is not uncommon
for them to take the keys with them.
Sometimes when a key is wanted the peo-
pie are not at home. but all this time the
fire keeps on burning.
IL may surprise the people to know that
keys have cost the city $500. Each key
costs twenty-five cents and there is a con-
tinual flood of applications at headquar-
tiers for keys.
Last evening the firemen ran up against
a hot FIRE al las Yesler Way, in the resi-
denee OF Samuel Davidson. A lamp ex-
ploded and before the firemen could get
the flames under control they had swept
through three rooms on the ground floor.

BILE damage to the walls ceiling and cas-
tween SO and 100. The insurance on the
furniture was $500, but the loss has not
been estimated. Mr.. Davidson rented the
house from ]. s. Lyteile. II is not known
whether there was any Insurance on the
house. Mr. Davidson intended to move
out today.

A large tree directly across the track hor-
rifed Engineer Spault and Fireman Hamp-

and Montesano. II was too late to stop

expecting the worst, although he had
saved himself by jumping only a few days
before.
The engineer struck the tree which hap
pened to be rotten. scattering IL in all di-
rections. much TO the astonishment OF the
plucky engineer, who, though somewhat
shaken and unnerved, stopped the train
and backed 10 the spot where the fireman
jumped. He was found unconscious. In
jumping in the darkness he had struck
some object and badly bruised his head.
and his throat was bleeding from long
cut almost reaching the tongue in depth.
He was taken aboard and an examination
by DR.. Walston. who was wired at the
station here. showed the wound not seri-
Gus. Although the cash reached almost
from ear to ear, the jugular vein by frac-
ton was uninjured. and he is speedily re-
covering.

COUNTERFEITERS CAUGHT
Men Who Are Supposed to Have
Flooded the Country with
Photographic Notes.

Detroit, Mich. JAN 6.-United States

implicated in the forgeries of notes of
the National Bank of Commerce of New
York and the Union National bank of
Detroit Soper is an employe of the
Hotel Cadillac barber shop, as was Lep-

The officers claim to have found further
discriminating evidence and other arrests
are expected.
Detective Burns said today that a
large amount OF photographic counterfeit
money is il circulation all over the
United States. He said the process was
first employed about two years ago and
il has steadily improved until it has be-
come very dangerous. For two years the
officers of the government have been try

GIVES UP HER FORTUNE.
When Emma Spreckels Married
Against Her Fathers Wish She
Returned ST. 100000.

San Francisco. Cal. Jan. Cit is cur
rently rumored that Emma Spreckels
Watson has decided to her father the
bulk of her property. voluntarily making
herself, comparatively speaking, poor
woman. Mrs. Watson consulted her hus-
band about the step before she took it
and he gave his unqualified consent 1t
is said that before the wedding took
place Miss Emma Speckels informed her
father that she wished to marry Thomas
Watson. Claus Spreckels would not hear
of it and uDbraided his daughter when
she told him she intended to marry Mr..
Watson whether he liked it or not. Per-
suason proving futile Claus Spreckels
is credited with having resorted to
taunts. Gliding his daughter for her in
gratitude and pointing out how much he
had done for her.
Yesterday Mrs. Watson told her hus-
band that she thought she ought to deed
back to her father all he had given her,
includ ing the United States bonds to the
amount of $1,O00,0O0, and the property
on Market street known as the Emma
Spreckels building. With characteristic
force Mr.. Watson is said to have told his
bride to do what she thought right in the
matter; that he had not married her for
what she had and that he would have
married her long ago if she had been a
poor girl and he had been able to support
her This occurred at noon. Within an
hour the property had changed hands.
