All suspicious characters who arrive IN

Of Police Reed and asked TO give an AZ
count OF themselves. The chief tells I'll
men whom he knows are OF doubtful
character that Seattle Is not right fer
confidence games. and that the best
thing for them 10 do Is 70 move on 10
the Klondfke or so elsewhere.
Yesterday several men were efoeeted
with the chief. and when they had gone
the chief said that there were no charges
against them, but that he had received
information that they were confidence
men. and be wanted them 10 understand
that their work would not be tolerated
for one moment.
II is the intention of Ve chief to keep
this element out of the city as much IS
possible, but Of course he and all his men
cannot keep track of all the clever seoun-
drels that will drift into the city. The
police are to be congratulated that In the
present condition of affairs so little i'm
portant criminal work has been done.
Fake reports have been published in 81.

overrun by footrads: that the hotels are
crowded and that people are walking the
streets at night without a roof to shelter
them. Such reports are alleged to have
