TERRIFIED BY EARTHQUAKE.
Streets, Many Of Them Falling
on Their Knees in Prayer.

Manila, Dec. IAN earthquake
which lasted IS seconds and extend
ed over a very wide area occurred
Sunday morning. The people were ter
rifed and rushed from the churches,
hotels and houses, many of them
falling on their knees and praying
in the streets. Quite a number were
injured. Gen Funston, who was Occu-
plying a ward in the hospital near that
occupied by Gov. Taft, rushed in with
nurses and stewards and attempted
to remove the governor, but Gov.
Taft decided to remain in the hospital
until later.

THE BURGLARS cor AWAY.
But the Chasing Parties Shot Each other
Full OF Holes Before Explanations
Could Be Made.

Perry, Ia, Dec. 1.-THE store OF
Ernest TOwne, at Jamaica, was en-
tered by burglars. Four citizens gave
chase, two going in one direction and
two in another. They met on the
crossroads and each party mistOOk
the other for the burglars and opened
fire. Before explanations could be
made TOwne, James King and Blaine
Parmeter were well filed with shot.
1t is not thought the wounds of any
Of them will prove fatal, but at this
time 81 shot have been removed from
the body Of Parmenter. The burglars

Ex-Governor Knapp and one E.
H. Wellswere locked up in the stand
pipe on Queen Anne hill last Sunday
by three young men and held for
ransom. While the two men were
on a seeming tour, evidently trying
to find something to kick about, they
got caught in trap which they
were trying to set for some one else.
The young brigands failed to get the
desired ransom, and perhaps the
only reason they did not get it was
because neither one of the would-be
municipal detectives had sufficient
funds to pay the required ransom.
After being confined in their unex-
pected prison cell for a few hours
they succeeded in finding a pick.
with which they extricated them
selves from their rather laughable
predicament after many hard blows
The Pie-maker is Of the opinion that
the boys really did not want the ran
som, but were simply giving the men
dose Of their own medicine, and
didSwhat they did more IN a spirit OF
fun than from a criminal standpoint
however, warrants were sworn out
for the boys, and they have been ar
rested and will be tried on a charge
Of locking up the sleuths for the pur,
pose Of demanding ransom from
them.

The little evening twinkler has
tried to successfully ape yellow
Journalistic Hearst, and in its at
tempt to DO SO it has in many cases
flagrantly and maliciously lied, as
has Hearst. Its last Mondays paper
somewhat capped the climax in it;
report Of a misunderstanding be-
tween the students and the
president at the University, and as {
result the editor was burned in effigy
Monday evening by the students
A more sensational report about
apartments occupied by young la
dies was never put in print than that
and the editor of that sheet is moi
only deserving Of being burned in
effigy, but is likewise deserving of 8
good round dose Of tar and feathers
at the hands of the students. His
moral bump, which he pronounced
so well developed when he first
started in the newspaper business in
this city, seems to have been made
up Of more cussedness than good
ness, and it is here suggested that
the citizens take warning Of his ac-
tons in this case as to what his
future will be.

Perhaps there are other streets
and sidewalks more filthy and re-
pulsiye to look at as well as walk
upon as Western avenue, but the
Pie-maker is of the opinion that
they do not exist in the United
States. The greater part Of Western
avenue reeks with filth, and for the
most part Of the day it is
impossible to pedestrians. Some
thing should be done by the
city authorities toward cleansing
that street up. There is no more
reason for the sidewalks being COW
cred half an inch deep with mud
and filth on Western avenue than
there is for the sidewalks to be like
wise covered on First and Second
avenues. Western avenue should be
put in as desirable a condition as
any other street, and the Pie-maker
hopes that the street commissioner
will look after this matter without
delay.

At most every council meeting
that is held here of late there is one
or two saloon petitions before it to
act upon, which would seem to indi-
cate that the saloon business is grow
ing more rapidly than any other
form Of business in the city. 1t is
hardly fair for the members Of the
city council to grant so many IL
censes to saloons to ply their nefari-
Gus trade along our business thor
oughfares. If we must have saloons.
let's have thine in reason. One sa-
loon to a block, it strikes the Pie
maker, is ample plenty, but when it
comes to having three and four
saloons in on e block, and that all
along Second avenue, it is rushing
things pretty hard, and some one
should call a halt on granting so
many licenses to persons to open up
a new saloon almost in every other
door.

In two weeks more the various
municipal elections Of the state will
be held, and while politics has been
lost sight of in most of the cities, yet
it is to be found bobbing up here
and there in many Of them. Gener-
ally speaking, the citizens in the va
rious corporated towns Of this
state, which vote in December for
municipal officers, is pretty free
from politics, and they are giving
much evidence Of wanting to vote
for the best men without regard to
his past political affiliations, which is
right and proper. Owing to the vast
amount of~eorruption that is creep
ing into the affairs Of large and
small cities Of this country II
is absolutely necessary, for
the citizens to support non-par-
tisan tickets, and when one admins
tration does not do the right thing,
turn it out just as speedily as it was
turned in, and if this is done for a
few years vice and corruption in
municipal affairs will vanish from
the scene completely. 1t is said on
the very best Of authority that mu-
nicipal corruption in the United
States is almost a rule, while mu-
nicipal honesty is the exception.
Like persons who seek to be elected
to the various law-making bodies Of
this country, the salary attached
thereto is a mere bagatelle, so it is
with persons seeking municipal
honors 1t is what they will make
out of the proposition while acting
as a representative Of their con-
stituents through the sale Of their
votes and by permitting themselves
to be bribed and bought over by men
who are the agents and tools Of CAPT
talists and corporations.

Life, from police standpoint in
Seattle, is rather cheap in compari-
son to a few dollars that are
being guarded. There seems to
have been no excuse whatever for
the police officers shooting the
would-be burglar at the
Northern Pacific depot last Mon
day evening, save and except that
if they had called on him to sur
render he might have slipped away
and prevented himself from being
captured. Rather than lose their
prey it would appear that the officers
deliberately shot the man dead and
then captured him. No lawmakers
have ever as yet felt called upon to
make it a death penalty for man
who commits a burglary, and it does
not seem that such extreme measures
were necessary in this case, even
though done by a Seattle police
man. Any noise would have de-
tered that man from his purpose,
and certainly there were enough
policemen in the city to have sur
rounded his hiding place and cap
tured him before he could have es-
capped; but no, the insatiate lust for
blood was paramount with the
policemen, and rather than take any
chances Of the man escaping, he was
shot dead while he was in an almost
helpless condition.

The Pie-maker through The Sc
attic Republican wishes to forcibly
impress upon the minds Of the voters
of this city, and especially those vot-
ers that hold for any degree of de-
cency, the right and justice Of them
voting in favor Of raising the saloon
license in this city to 81 900 per an
mum. This is a question in which
every family in the city is vitality
interested, from the standpoint that
it may prevent some member Of
your own family from being led to
ruin in the numerous places Of vice
where liquors are dispensed at enor-
nous prices, and indiscriminately to
man, woman and child as well. You
and each Of you will be confronted
with the argument that to vote such
a license will be creating a monopoly
for the wealthy, but that is claptrap
and will not bear investigation. The
idea of raising the saloon license is
to lessen the number of places of
vice in this city and to drive that
class Of men out of business who use
their saloons, not only for the
damnable purpose Of dispensing fire
water, but likewise for a rendezvous
in which the unwary are entrapped
and ruined. These men to some ex-
tent will be driven out of business
by this increase Of license, and the
Pie-maker truly hopes that every
good citizen in the city will vote for
this raise without dissenting voice
or vote.

for such privileges in the city,
but from the gamblers no benefit in
the world will be derived, save that
of sin and cussedness, and these are
two elements not much needed in
the preparation of boys and girls for
good citizenship. Yes, a hundred
times better would it have been if
the present administration had sold
itself body and breeches to enormous
corporations, as they would have put
more improvements in the city than
they have already done The
Tom Humes administration is
one that Seattle should hope to never
see repeated, and other cities should
take warning from what has hap
pened in this city and nip any move
ment in that direction in the bud. tt
perhaps has not been quite so cor
rupt as was Tammany Hall and the
Croker administration in Greater
New York, but God knows it has
been corrupt enough, and Seattle
should see that it is never repeated
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-11-22

While the municipal officials Of
Seattle are not charged with having
sold out to any Of the gigantic cor
porations herein, nevertheless they
are charged with having sold them
selves out to the gambling fraternity,
which has operated in this city ever
since the Tom Humes administration
has been in existence. For the priv
ilege Of plying their nefarious work
in the city they are charged with
having paid the administration vast
sums of money. If this be true it is
just as bad and even worse than if
they had sold themselves to corpora
tions, for the community would have
gotten some good out Of the i'm
provements made by the latter
