LIFE WAS TOO TAME
So Young Abrams Started Fires and
- Caused Wrecks.


S. Caused Wrecks.
Special to The Journal. !
Ironwood, Mich, Aug. 6-Oscsr Abrams,
16 years old, a call boy for the North
Western railroad, confessed last night to
setting fire to Hager Lumber company's
warehouse, Thomas Healy & Co.'s ware
house and to starting other small fires.
He admitted opening the turntable and
running two engines into the pit, also to
opening switches on the main line and
causing minor accidents. The confession
was secured by a Northwestern railway
detective who has been working on the
case the past week.
Abrams crimes have been going on
about year. He was known as tough
lad and escaped the reform school, owing
to his age, for setting fire about five years
ago. He is held in the city jail await
ing hearing. His only excuse was that he
wanted to cause little excitement.

The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1902-05-23

And yet these little defeats were
mild compared to the turning down he
received when the new city council
was organized last Friday morning
Mr.. Baldwin had had his heart set
on the presidency Of the council, and
it was supposed some time ago that
he would have no trouble in securing
the position, for he is acknowledged
to be we'll fitted for it. But the mayor
made different arrangements, with the
result that Mr.. Baldwin did not even
permit his name to go before the coun-
Gil. E. M. Hand, new member and
supporter of the mayor, was elected
by a combination of the mayors
friends and the Republican members
When Mr.. Baldwin saw he had no
chance to win and that the slate had
been fixed up against him he refused
to permit his name to be voted upon.
His supporters and he himself, rather
than vote for Mr. Hand, cast their
four votes for Mr.. Funk. The defeat
was the more bitter for Mr.. Baldwin
because he was originally offered the
support of the Republican minority
if he would agree to vote to seat Col
L. F. Boyd as councilman from the
Third ward. He declined to do this,
saying the Democrats would soon be
in contro4 and would be able to elect
Democrat to the vacant seat from
the Fourth and would also be able to
choose president without any as
sistance from the Republicans. The
Republicans then made terms with the
Hand-Coffeen-Byrne faction and agreed
to support Mr. Hand for the presi-
dency. When this information came
to Mr.. Baldwin he became alarmed and
fastened to the Republicans and Of
fered to assist them to seat Mr.. Boyd
and to grant a number of other con-
cessions to the Republicans if they
would give him their votes. But it was
too late then and he went down to
defeat before his enemies in his own
party. The result is not only a. tri-
umph for Mayor Byrne and his fac

few days ago a whist club in this
city was discussing whether or not
Negro wrote the novel "Stringtown
on the Pike" and a number of other
books to which the same name as
wrote "Stringtown on the Pike" is at
tackled. That John Uri Lloyd did
write those books goes without saying,
and that he is well-known colored
man is also generally we'll known in
many Of the Eastern states. In or
der, however, to not impair the sale
Of his books the publishers arranged
with him to make no publicity of his
nationality and for a time he betook
himself to some Isolated mountain
town, where he, according to the street
vernacular, only sawed wood and said
nothing. Commercially speaking, this
is what he should have done and per-
haps if more Negroes would act in
a similar way they would have more
money on hand. In this age of com
mercialism one is compelled to loose
not only his race identity, but his
every other identity in order to sue
ceed, and while this is not approved of
by the writer, nevertheless it is being
done, and the colored race should have
no more objections to doing it than
the white race. It is a matter of bust
ness; make it matter of much busi-
ness.

SPOKANE POLITICS.


SPOKANE, May 21.-One continual
round of pleasure is what the city hall
Democrats have been furnishing to
those who delight in political quarrels.
The Democratic administration of
Mayor H. N. Belt in Spokane is reemm-
bered for an almost perpetual fight
between him and the city council, but
his administration was like a Sunday
school in comparison with the turmoil
which has existed since Mayor Byrne
moved into the city hall year ago.
The mayor has been hammered so hard
in the past few months by the Dem
ocrats who are opposed to him and
he has been so persistently ridiculed
by the people who have been against
him that at last the sympathy of the
public, which was most decidedly
against him, has changed, as public
sympathy so often does, and now there
is rejoicing in many quarters at the
recent triumph Of the mayor over his
political tormenters. The defeat of
Fred Baldwin for the pre-. 1ency Of
the council was so hard a fall for him
that his Turner supporters have felt
the humiliation very keenly and are
now vowing revenge on the mayor and
John Coffeen and all their friends. On
the other hand, the victory of the
mayor has set the bees to buzzing
again in his bonnet and he is aspiring
to higher political honors. Some say he
would be governor and hopes to show
Senator Turner that he has enough
strength to demand recognition. But
at the present time Mr.. Baldwin and
Mr.. Turner are not in the humor to
make any concessions to the mayor.
For a week or more they have been
making unsuccessful attempts at re-
venge for Mr.. Baldwins defeat.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1902-05-23

When the gas company's new fran
chise was passed in spite of the oppo-
sition of Mr.. Baldwin and his faction
of the Democrats in the council they
attempted to force the mayor to veto
it by a call of the Democratic city
central committee, where it was pro-
posed to demand that, as a Democrat,
the mayor should veto the ordinance.
AS the Turner men have the control
of the central committee it was thought
it would be easy to make the scheme
work. But the mayor signed the or
dinance before the committee had a
chance to get together. 1t left the
committee nothing to do but adjourn,
which was done as soon as the chair
man called them to order. But the
friends of Mr.. Baldwin were deter
mined to at least administer rebuke
to the mayor, so they called a mass
meeting of Democrats; and the Dem

ocrats came, but much to the surprise
of Mr.. Baldwin and his friends the
friends of Mayor Byrne were found to
be in majority. Instead of denounc-
ing the mayor and declaring his ad-
ministration a failure and him no
longer a Democrat the mass meeting
voted that the mayor was a great sue

credit to the Democratic party. And
thus ended another defeat for Mr.. Bald
