FRINK'S RECORD GOOD
Voted Regularly in Favor of
Grain Freight Legislation.
False Statement of Desperate FUs-
ionists Shown in Proper Light
By Legislative Proceedings.

Despairing of the useless effort to de.
feat the republican state ticket in West
Washington, the efforts of the fusion
lists are concentrating east of the
Cascades, where, in the great agricul-
tural districts, it is hoped to arouse sen
tIment against Hon. j NJ. Frink, the
republican nominee for governor, by
false statements regarding his attitude
on railroad questions while a member OF
the upper house of the state Legislature.
In the various newspapers of the state
advocating the reelection Of Governor
Rogers untrue, unfounded and unreason-
able statements have been made almost
daily since the beginning of the cam
paign as to Senator Frink's position
and action on railroad matters brought
before the state Legislature during the
four sessions in which he has held seat
as representative of King county.
These statements have been mere as
sertlOns, not conveying a shadow OF
authority, until the Seattle Times pub
lished what it calls "Frink' 8 railroad
record supporting the statements
made with alleged quotations from and
distortions OF the records of legislative
proceedings as shown by the journals of
the senate and house.
These records, accessible at Olympia,
the state capital, to all who may wish
to personally investigate, prove Mr..
Frink's record on railroad legislation
and attempted legislation, to be exactly
opposite, in almost every detail, to what
it is alleged to be by the fusion organ
The Justification and distortion of the
Times is easily apparent.

Session of 1891.

During the session of 1891 the meas.
ure known as the Wasson bill, house bill
No. 243, was up for consideration. This
bill as finally passed provided for a re-
ductiOn Of about Is per cent on the
rates then in force. The senate journal
shows that Senator Frink voted in the
affirmative on the final passage of the
bill. page 473)
The bill passed both houses at this
session, but was vetoed by Acting Gov
ernOr LaughtOn. However, it was
passed over the veto at the next session,
and Senator Frink voted ia the affirma-
tive again. (See Senate Journal, 1898,
page 1907
The 1891 record shows further that
Senator FriDk voted in favor OF house
bill 156, by Arrasmith, to construct and
maintain connections from one railroad
to another. page $500
Senator Frnk also introduced senate
bill 135, making railroad companies
liable for injuries. (See pages 157 ald

Session of 1898,

In the session or 1898 house bill No
90. known as the Anderson bill, passed
the lower house February II, 1898
This bill provided for a reduction OF
freight changes on wheat from about
So IS per ton to Puget sound to 81 81
per ton; or from the rate of liz cents
per bushel to 13 cents per bushel on au
average haul of 400 miles
This bill meant a saving of nearly
$5OO,O0O to the producers of grain in
Eastern Washington. The WassOn bill
az passed over the veto in the earlier
part Of the session, provided for a Is
per cent reduction; the Anderson bill
made q further reduction of about 1C
per cent.
When the bill reached the senate it was
referred to the committee on corpora.
tlOns other than municipal, from which
committee two reports were brought in
minority and majority reports (Set
page 54S.)
The minority report recommended the
passage of the bill as it came from the
house; the majority report amended the
bill so as to make but little change in
the rate as contemplated under the Was
soa bill. Senator Friuk voted against
the majority report. (See Senate Jour
nal, page 54S
The majority report, however, was
adopted, the vote standing 81 ayes and
13 nays; 16 republicans and ) demo
Gratis voting for it and 10 republicans
and three democrats voting against it's
adoption.
This report haying been adopted, and
the bill being up for the third reading,
Senator Easterday moved to strike out
the words seventy in line 4, sec
tion l. and insert the words eighty
five" in lieu thereof. This made the rate
practically the same as the WaesOn bill
Senator Frink moved to amend by
inserting eighty" in place of "eighty
five" This motion was defeated by 6
vote of Is to 19
The house refused to concur in The
amendments by the senate. ThereupoI
the motion in the senate, that the senate
recede from it's amendments. was put
and lost, the vote being II to %. Or
this motion Senator Frink again voted
aye.
A cOnferance committee was then ap
pointed. The minority report OF thu
| conference committee, recommending
| that the senate do not recede from iti
amendments, was adopted by vote 0
16 to II, Senator Frink voting no.
The house had in the meantime con
Cured in the senate amendments. Tn,
bill was, however, reconsidered, and {
| provision was made that no greater rat
| than 81 per ton should be charged
| Frink voted in the affirmative on this.
The record of this session shows con
clusively that Senator Frink acted iron
| beginning to end consistently and ener
getically in the interest OF reduced freigh
rates, as contemplated originally in th
Anderson bill. He never wavered at an
time, and stood by the minority to th
very last.
Session of 1895
On March 6, 1895, the Morgan bi

BISBEE, ARIZ., OCT. ?. 1900.
Inf SALVATION ARMY.

Switzerland is supposed to be an ex- ample of freedom, and has posed as the champion of freedom for centuries.
 However, it seems that religious per secution is not wrong in the eyes oi these opponents of freedom, and the members of the Salvation Army have been sadly abused. The men and wo- men of the army have been beaten and stoned and no protection has been ex- tended to them by the police.
 This seems strange in the face of Swiss history. It seems even more strange when the real mission of the Salvation Army is considered.
 This organization has in its work reached an element that no other re- ligious body has been able to deal with. The Salvation Army has literally raised the fallen and fed the hungry, How ever peculiar their methods they have enabled the soldiers of the army to enter the haunts of the submerged tenth, to come in saving and succoring contact with those poor wretches, who through some hideous wrong in our code of civilization have been always outside the pale of decent social rela- tionship.
 This wonderful work is now fully acknowledged, and prslates and min isters of denominations whose splendor is undoubted have been proud to stand on the same platform with the men and women who have literally obeyed the law of the great teacher in caring with a sacrificing care for the hungry, the sick and the fallen.

THt UNITED STATES COURT.

The United States court at Tucson was, this time at least, an example o1 memorable justice.
 There have been complaints made that the escape of the criminal was al most assured and that he need have nc fear for his liberty.
 This, which has been more than 6 mere theory up to now, has not been the case.
 Out of twenty-eight criminal cases twenty-sevsn convictions have been SC. cured and punishment meted out.
 In addition to this, the judge haf seen to it that the mandates of the conrt have been obeyed. Several gentlemen who failed to put in an appearance in answer to subpoenas were sent for, brought to court and fned.
 The prosecuting attorney fought hard for conviction throughout every case, and succeeded well enough to rid the country for while of several undesir. able citizens.

SOME persons amuse themselves hy tearing the cards and posters put up by the various candidates around town. In many cases these election cards are ripped of by these people, whoever they are. This should at once be put a stop to. These candidates' notices are expensive and are put up with pur- pose, and cannot be destroyed with i'm punity. The authorities should take the matter up.

Does Not Think Mr.. Pitcairn's AS
sertion is Worthy "a Reply.


Mr.. W. C. lutte, protector Of the
Waynesburg, UniOntown and West
Virginia railroad, arrived in the city
from Pittsburg, accompanied by Mr..
Protzman Both were seen by a Reg
lister reporter, and nterrogated con-
corning the statements made in an in
teTview by Mr.. Pitcairn. Both gentle
men appeared disposed not to take Mr..
Pitcairn seriously, and were therefore
not inclined to enter into possible
newspaper controversy with him.
IF the proposed road cannot get ter
minals in the coke field, and if there is
not sufficient product to justify another
road" said Mr.. Protzman, why did
Mr.. Pitcairn take the trouble to make
the statement attributed to him? The
Pennsylvania railroad people talked
the same way about the P. & c., but 1t
has been of immeasureable benefit to
Pittsburg and vicinity
Messrs. lutte and Protzman will re-
main here to-day, and will confer with
a number of prominent citizens regard
ing the new enterprise.

sweeney WIS MURDERED.
NO LONGER ANY DOUBT ABOUT THE
WAY IN WHICH HE MET
HIS DEATH.
THE coRoNER's INVESTIGATION
Took Place Yesterday Afternoon.
One Man Who Knows Something
About the Affair is in the Custody
of the PoIice-The Suspected Men
Are Not Known.

The verdict of the coroner's jury and
the testimony upon which it was based
leaves little room for doubt as to the
manner in which Patrick Sweeney met
his death Sunday night.
From gunshot wound, inflicted
by party or parties unknown, was
the finding of the jury, which was COM
posed of John w Myles, Edward Ell
lott, Platoff Zane, Charles Hamilton,
Samuel Humphrey and David Hahne.
| The jury was taken to Foster & Wat
kins' undertaking rooms to view the
remains and in the afternoon heard
the testimony of number of persons.
The hearing was conducted in the Of
fee of Squire Schultz. Chief Clemens,
Officer Edward Michaels and others
testified.
Edward Elliott and other North
Main street citizens heard shots fired
along the railroad Sunday night, and
it was evidently one of these shots
which ended Sweeney's life. When his
body was found the attitude indicated
that he fell or he was pushed toward
his side. The three full bottles OF beer
found near him were wrapped in a
paper, and there were indications that
a fourth was also in the package.
The police have in custody a Wheel
ing man who knows something about
the death of Sweeney. Whether or not
he has given all the information in his
possession cannot be stated. He saw
Sweeney walking up the railroad with
two companions Sunday night When
they passed under the bridge one of
the men, according to his story, fired
shot from his revolver. He was
either unable or unwilling to tell
whether or not he knows of any quar-
rel The description of the men which
he furnishes is very inaccurate and in
complete.
One of the two men who accom-
panied Sweeney along the railroad
track is probably his murderer, but
whether or not the police can secure
a description which will enable them
to identify either or both is matter
which only the future will determine.

NOTICE OF Acceptance
WHICH w. NJ. DUNLAP HELD
OPTIONS.
5000 ACRES IN OHIO COUNTY
Which Are Controlled by the Wheel
ing Consolidated Coal Company-A
Mine Equipped With Modern Elec-
trfcal Machinery VIII Soon BE In
Operation on This Tract of Land.

Yesterday the options taken by w.
M. Dunlap. of West Alexander, Pa.
upon 5000 acres of coal territory in
Ohio county, expired. Mr.. Dunlap
served legal notice of acceptance upon
the individual owners. and the first
payment of purchase money will be
made as soon as the deeds Of transfer
are prepared.
This land is all controlled by the
Wheeling Consolidated Coal Company.
The 5000 acres embraces the very
cream of the holdings Of the company.
1t includes virtually all of the terri
tory about Glenn's Run. The coal vein
here is best adapted for working, and
the coal is of the finest quality. 1t is
said TO be the best steam coal in the
world. This is not an idle assertion,
but is based upon the opinions of ex-
perts. The coal is not suitable for
coking purposes, on account OF the
quantity of sulphur it contains.
Its special adaptation for locomotive
engines was demonstrated conelusively
during the extreme cold weather OF last
winter. B. & o. and Pennsylvania
railroad engines in many instances
were compelled TO discard coal secured
elsewhere, and use the Ohio county
coal, on account OF the superior guam
tity of heat which it contains.
1t is understood to be the purpose
of the Wheeling Consolidated Coal
Company to open mine at the earliest
practicable time, at some point along
the river front above the Top mill
the location to be determined by an
expert The mine will be equipped
with all the modern electrical appli-
ances for mining.
The affairs of the company generally
are in very satisfactory condition.
The deal which was virtually closed
yesterday, means much for Ohio
county, not only because of the money
the company will pay out, but also
because OF the large sums which will
be placed in circulation when the
mines are operated.
