The financial troubles that hung
heavy over the head of the Morning
Washingtonian terminated in the ap-
pointment of receiver and the sub
sequent sale of the paper to the high
est and best bidder, which proved to
be William Pigott, one of the heavy
stockholders in the printing concern
known as the Metropolitan Press,
which concern has been issuing the
Washingtonian since it's unhappy
birth Mr. Pigott paid the princely
price of $4,000 for the paper and
thereby shut out those ambitious
young politicians and Office holders
who desired to become famous as
newspaper men by bucking the P-I.,
and launched the Washingtonian as a
competitor which will result in them
losing in the neighborhood of five or
six thousand dollars apiece, which
they put into the Morning Rathole un-
der the management of "Jene Allan" :"
1t is said that the paper was sold in
order to protect the Metropolitan
Press? Protect the Metropolitan Press
from whom? From the men who put
up the money to start it? With the
Allan brothers and William Pigott put
ting their heads together to skin some
poor unsuspecting devil who had put
his hard earned dollars in their grasp,
there is no denying the fact that they
would protect themselves against even
Harry Tracy, to say nothing of hon
est men. In future the paper is not
only to be Snatched completely out
Of the grasp of the men who put up
the money to start it, but it is to be
Democratic in politics and thereby
serving in now way the original in
tentiOn of those who put up the money
for it's launching. He who wrote, "a
fool and his money soon part" must

Just why Harry Tracy has not been
captured is the unexplainable thing
just now. 1t seems almost beyond
human speculation that four able
bodied men could be in a steam launch
with Tracy for twelve long hours. and
part OF that time he sat sound asleep
and none OF them were able to get the
drop on him in order to effect his cap-
ture. No sane man will believe that
such a condition really did exist. If
Tracy could not have been over-power-
ed at the Van Horn house when he
held two men as prisoners and com
manded woman to cook his dinner
while he changed his clothes. and was,
as the men themselves reported, at
times as far as sixteen feet from his
rife (that being the only weapon he
had at that time), it was because the
men and the woman had no desire to
capture him. While The Republican
is not inclined to be severe with the
persons in the Van Horn house at the
time Tracy was a visitor there. never
theless it belives that those two men
could have prevented Tracy from leav
ing the house if they had desired to
40 so. There is no doubt but that
Tracy could have been captured at the
Johnson home in Kitsap county if
mortal fear had not come over those
peOpe, and they Of all have a plausible
excuse. When Tracy was at the Ger
aid home it seems to those on the
outside that he was more among his
friends than among his enemies.
While the women there pretended to
be quite afraid of Tracy and were
held as prisoners, nevertheless they
jOked and entertained him without
showing any great amount of fear that
he would do them harm, and women
cannot entertain any man when they
really fear him. And now comes the
most startling thing of the whole af-
fair. Tracy at the Gardner home last
Sunday commanded one of the boys to
actually shave him while the father
and the other son sat there all the
time seeing it we'll done. Perhaps
the Gardners would have been pleased
to have captured Harry Tracy and
turn him over to the officers of the
law, but after reading this story no
one believes they were The man
who has another man to shave him is
cimpletely at the mans mercy that is
doing the shaving. That young fell
low could have placed that razor at
Tracy's throat and dared him to move,
and Tracy would not have done so;
yea, if he had desired to capture
Tracy he would have been justified
in cutting his throat Instead of this
he shaved him neatly and nicely, and
when it was done he was told to go
on his way rejoicing. Now if such is
not aiding and abetting criminals to
escape then it comes dangerously near
it. One would have ample reasons to
believe that Tracy has been among
friends during his entire visit in King
county.

men and if possible locate and arrest

was sent out for political purposes it
was mistake and one of the worst
mistakes that has ever been made by
any official in King county. | see the

severe criticisms condemning the
sheriff's office and regardless of the
motive that prompted them to have
done so they were correct"

had great many Seattle citizens on
them, are reported sound and safe and
