The following important construction was placed on rule 29, relative to the pitch CTS position. 1t is construed as mean ing that the pitcher, in taking his po- sition, shall place no part of either foot back of the rubber nor shall he take more than one step in delivering the ball to the batsman."

Moore's Mighty Magazine.

The Bureau of Information, under
the general management of o. M.
Moore, an erstwhile newspaper man
of this state, is to soon issue a splen-
did monthly magazine setting forth
the advantages of Eastern people,
both with and without money, coming
to this section of the world to settle
and start life all over as it were.
With Mr.. Moore at it's head the gen
eral public is assured that it will be
a highly meritorious publication from
the very outset, and one that will re-
feet credit on thessntire community.
The publication will in no wise com
pete with either the weekly or the
daily papers in the advertisement bust
ness, but will depend solely OH it's
subscription list and the bureau for
its support.

Those Brave Police Officers.

Not half seems to have been as yet
told as to the bravery of Detective
Adams and Lane in capturing the
burglar one night last week by shoot
ing him from ambush without so much
as trying to take him alive. The
quiet investigation that has been 60
ing. on since that time now points
strongly to the fact that Murray's ac-
complice was none other than the
dirty stool pigeon that put the detec-
tive on and that it was he who fired
the shot in Murrays head and was
then permitted to escape by the de-
tective. 1t begins to look as if the
killing of Murray was one of the most
beastly acts ever committed in this
city, and that is saying a good deal
1t is strange that Detective Adams
boy that gave him the tip. Under
the existing circumstances he would
not only be doing himself a justice
to produce the beast" but he would
be ridding the police department of
scandal that is doing it no good.
AS said above, the full amount of bray
cry displayed by the officers of the
law on that occasion will perhaps nev-
er be half told

Was it a Fake?

King Solomon, his exciting expert
ence on a railroad train between Port
land and Seattle to the contrary not
withstanding, is again strutting the
streets of Seattle and sporting his
usual voluptuous gold headed cain,
which Bo Sweeney failed to take from
him, though Bo is a Kentuckian and
quite unaccustomed to being defied by
men with black skins. The Asso-
ciated Press reports to the Times
seemed to indicate that King Solomon
had laid aside all of his wisdom and
went after the tender people, who
would not accept his wisdom, with
his gun, and it required the whole po-
lice force of Kalama to prevent MIN
from Staying them by the scores. That
it was all a cock and bull story of
the Times, as everything else it pub
fishes, was a foregone conclusion at
the time, and subsequent develop
ments have quite verified it.

Foreman Pigott Selfish.
H. c. Pigott, foreman of the grand
jury, has wilfully and deliberately left
the work that he has begun and has
gone to San Francisco to look after
his private affairs. Nothing is more
like the man than this. He is thor
oughly selfish. A man who prays,
God bless me and my wife, my son
John and his wife, us four and no
more" That's his history in business.
which he has been engaged. If he has
done anything toward ferreting out
crime, among those who know him
best it is believed he did it for sell
fish motives or to play even with an
opponent. Whether Mr.. Pigott had
an ulterior motive for leaving at this
time, when the work of the grand jury
was at such a momentOuS and criti-
cal period, is hard to say, but such
would seem to be the fact. Private
business may have called him away,
but private business should not inter
fere with public business, and as fore
man of the grand jury he was public
servant and it was his duty to proceed
with his work and allow his private
business to lay over until such a time
as it would be convenient for him to
look after it.

Caught in the Act.

Why would not Hon. e. B. Wishar
have been perfectly justified in shoot
ing officer McClurg down like a dog
the other day when he ran across him
almost in the act of numbering an
other citizen and that, too, without
sufficient provocation to warrant him
arresting the man, if for any at all?
That McClurg overstepped his author
ity and was acting in manner wholly
unbecoming of an officer, is an undis-
putable fact, or the chief would not
have suspended him for a week. If he
deserves a suspension he deserves
still further punishment, and Mr..
Wishar should take up the matter
with the civil service board, and, if
the officer did what he (Wishar) says
he did, warrant should be sworn out
against him and he be punished by the
courts.

President Roosevelt Coming.

The citizens are delighted to have
the information that President Roose-
welt will visit Seattle the latter part
of May and will spend the greater
part of two days in this city and its
suburbs. Already a committee ap-
pointed by the mayor and committee
selected by those present at mass
meeting held in the Chamber Of Com
merce rooms last Monday-both COM
mittees being headed by Hon. w. E.
Humphrey, M. Care making ready
to receive their distinguished guests.
The citizens desire to entertain Presi-
dent Roosevelt in a manner that will
thoroughly reflect their opinion of the
man aside from his honored official
position. and to that end nothing will
be left undone in perfecting the plans
for his entertainment in order to ex.
press that feeling both by action and
words No man since Lincoln occu-
pied the presidential chair is more
universally loved than Roosevelt, and
Seattle is one of those communities
that admire him and his manly man

The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1903-03-20

Speaking about prospective guber-
material nomination, the name of Hon.
c. 1. Roth has been very favorably
mentioned in that connection. Mr..
Roth has twice represented district
in Whatcom county in the legislature
and has made very creditable record
as a legislator. He is likewise very
popular in the northwest and would
come as near defeating Governor Nc
Bride in his own county as any other
man. eff Mr.. Roth would permit the
use of his name, l am inclined to
think that he would come to the next
state convention with every county in
the northwest, and by making the
proper terms with King county he
could likewise have her support, which
would give him a tremendous follow
ing from the very outset in the state
convention, which would eventually
land him the gubernatorial nomina-
tion," said a prominent politician one
day this week.

In round numbers the Eighth legis-
lature appropriated for the current
expenses of the state for the ensuing
two years $4,00O,OO0. Perhaps there
is pressing need for every dollar that
has been appropriated by the leglsla-
ture, for certainly those having charge
of the matter would not recklessly
appropriate the states funds for sin
lister motives, but the figures do seem
enormously large. The state of Utah,
which is almost as large and equally
as populous as the state of Washing
ton, was given but a small sum over
$1,000,000 by her legislature for it's
current expenses for the ensuing two
years, and it does not seem that the
state of Washington should require
almost three times as much for her
current expenses for the same length
of time. These figures would not be
so startling if an astounding def
cheney bill would not be up for con-

Bullets Flying in the Air.

1t is very generally believed that
every time colored crap shooters get
into a scrap that razors fly in the air.
Razors may have been flying in the
air at the Washington street club
scrap the other night. but it is sur
missed that if they were they were in
the pockets of those who were them
selves flying in the air in the hope of
escaping the fusilade of hot shots that
were flying promiscuously in the air,
Breeches being the man behind the
gun. After the smoke of battle had
cleared away Tom Johnsing crawled
out of a red hot stove, in which he
had taken refuge to dodge randum bull
lets. Bill Snow Ball, whose name
does not altogether reflect his color
crawled out of a water bucket, which
he had turned over his head to at
least protect one vital spot from the
shower of hot lead. While others made
use of the third story windows in the
building in order to reach the ground
ahead of a chasing bullet to pro-
tect themselves from danger. Amid
all of this excitement, however, there
is nothing to show that a single razor
was flying in the air. Is it possible
ing his racial identity as this?

Cut Mayor Humes Out.

1t perhaps is unprecedented in the
history of this country that a man
against whom grand jury has re-
turned an indictment for malfeasance
in office and the charge still legally
hanging over his head. has been per-
mitted to act on a reception commit
tee to receive so high an official as
the president of the United States.
Mayor Humes, against whom the
grand jury has returned an indictment
for malfeasance in office, has been Sc
lected as member of the committee
of prominent citizens of Seattle to en-
tertain the president during his stay
one particular crime that seems more
Objectionable to President Roosevelt
than any other. and yet he is to be
entertained by a man who is charged
with such crime. 1t matters not
whether Mayor Humes is or is not
guilty, he is charged with the crime
and until he has been either exoner-
ated by the courts or the grand jury
recedes from it's former votes. he
should be excused from participating
on the reception committee to enter
tain the Nations Chief Executive.
There certainly are men enough in
this city, and in other cities, for that
matter against whom not a scintilla
of scandal has ever been breathed, to
receive the president of the United
States without the aid or assistance
of a man against whom the grand
jury after months of investigation,
returned an indictment in open court
and declared him culpably guilty
of high crimes and misdemeanor. 1t
is due the community, it is due the
city of Seattle. it is due the chief
executive of the nation, that Mr.
Humes take no part on the committee
which is to receive President RGose-
velt next May. If men of question
able character are the ones to take
the front in such matters it does seem
that the moral tendency of the nation
is downward instead of upward.

POLITICAL POT PIE
4++ ++4+4 4++ 4444++++++++++++

To succeed in politics one must do
being a fact it is none too early for
King county to begin to lay its plans
to capture the next United States SEN
ator to be elected for this state. 1t
was almost natural that the last legis
lature elect a United States senator
from Eastern Washington instead of
Western Washington, and thereby
give the latter section both of the
United States senators and two of the
congressman, leaving Eastern Wash
ington with but one out of the five
members of congress from this state.
King county felt that she was enti-
tied to the senatorship, not so much
from a right standpoint, as from a
might standpoint. She might have
made the latter work had she put up
popular candidate, but laboring un-
der the belief that Governor Mcbride
was all powerful and because he ia
vored an iceburg in this city, King
county endorsed Harold Preston for
the senatorship. If King county had
any chance in the world of capturing
the plum, she then and there threw
it all away. What King county should
do in the coming election is to instruct
her members of the legislature to take
up the various senatorial candidates
and aspirants from King county and
after they have been sent through
Sitting committee take the one that
can bring to her the greatest amount
of outside strength and then rally
around him. A great number of the
smaller counties are jealous of King
county and are 10th to support her
candidate for the United States SEN
ate because they believe such candi-
date, if elected, would use his infiu-
ence in congress for King county's
selfish ends and to their detriment.
A man, therefore, must be selected
whom the smaller counties can have
implicit confidence in and if the vot-
ers of King country can find such
man there is no doubt in the mind of
the Piemaker but that a King county
man will succeed Addison G. Foster
as United States senator from Wash
ington in 1905.

Glad to Get Back.

Perhaps Prof. G. w. Hartranft, Sup
erintendent of county schools, was eX-
ceedingly glad to get back to Seattle,
as he stated in a public interview, but
was it not on account of his family
and business relations that he was
glad to get back. All men are glad
to get back to their homes and just
why men of intelligence and education
should make such statements for pub
lication is the quandary. 1t matters
not where one lives, they are inter-
ested in that community and if they
go away they are glad to get back
it's perfectly natural. While Seattle
is a thriving and thrifty city and a
fairly pleasant place to live in, from
business standpoint, there is nothing
to compare it with the older settled
Eastern cities, and if Prof Hartranft
was not over in "Sleepy Hollow or
upon Kangaroo Ridge during his visit
in the East he certainly saw more
in a minute there than he will see in
Seattle for a month. Among the per-
sons living in Seattle, and all of the
Western cities, for that matter, the
