CLAIMS TO HAVE
Been BUNCOED

The colored courtesan who recent
ly move away from her mansion on
Post street and taken up her abode
in the tenderloin is the subject OF a
good story among the knowing ones
around the CITY hall.
The public is familiar with the fight
ehe made to hold the mansion on
Post street.
An executive order was Issued that
she must move into the tSnderloin,
but Miss Trip showed a very strong
disposition to turn up her nose con-
temptuously at any such intsrferencs
with her business affairs.
She even went SO far as to retain
prominent attorney, who was in
struoted to see II she had any rights
which Mayor. Boyd and the police
department were bound to respect.

thorities was changed at ONCE apd

Pearson Surprised.

Councilman Pearson of the Fifth
ward, who voted for the variety hall
license given Gust Pearson of Stock
holm fame, expressed much astonish-
ment Saturday when informed that
Mr.. Pearson is putting in boxes pre-
paratory to doing regular booze bus
mess.
Mr.. Pearson, the councilman, had
been under the impression that Mr..
Pearson, the saloon man, merely want
ed the privilege of running ladies'
orchestra and selling refreshments in
nice, lady-hke way.
Another shock may be given Mr.
Pearson, the councilman, if he learns
that Mr.. Pearson is now on the hunt
for "ladies" to see that the booze
business in "Mr. Jackson's' theater il
properly rushed.
Friends of Mr.. Pearson, the saloon
man. still affirm that "Mr. Jackson

The colonist rates now in effect
from eastern terminals Of transcon-
tinental lines will probably be tenn
porarily withdrawn November 80.
They were announced to remain in
effect until that time and the officials
who announced them will probably
agree that nothing can be gained by
continuing them until the winter is
over.
For some time It has been conceded
by officials who anticipated a big
movement that such has not reached
their expectations. This large move
msnt was anticipated when 1t was
announced that the colonist rates
would be effective Immediately fol-
lowing the introduction of the special
rates. 1t was the southern lines that
forced these rates upon the northern
systems. The movements of settlers
to the southern states at this time
of the year is good and this made
general demand for a reduction of
the rates in the north. In addition
the Canadian Pacific was anxious to
encourage settlement in the west and
the result was that the northern lines
agreed to restore the colonist rates
forS the fall and these rates were
fn3ly forced when the Southern Pa
cif4 announced them. At no time
duf ing the fall has the movement to
th& northwest been heavy. At the
onset the lines agreed that the east
ern harvest was interfering with
traffic and since then it has not in
creased much despite the predictions
of the officials that at the close of the
harvest the rush would be large. 1t
Is believed that even during the pres
eht. month the movement will not be
large and 1t can not be seen where
the lines will be benefited by keeping
the rate in effect. This will likely
be done, however, by the southern
lines.
Experience of the past has shown
that the better business is done in
the spring and the result will be the
withdrawal of the colonist rate at
the end of this month.
! The homeeeker rate, which does
not apply at the present in the state
OF Washington, will probably be ex-
tended when the colonist rate is witht
drawn. This will give all who are
eager to make personal investiga-
sion of things their opportunity.
A big movement is confidently ex-
nected in the spring. -t

SERIOUS CHARGES
AGAINST COURT CLERK

An incident happened in Judge
Belts court this morning when the
drawing of jury to try the case of
Mollie Spragg against the Washing
ton Water Power company for dam
ages was commenced. and some at
torneys look upon the incident as
showing how tender is the safeguard

Attorney Robertson of the firm of
lawyers who represent the plaintiff
stood behind the clerk as he opened
the box containing the names of the
jurors drawn on the venire, He says
that he saw two distinct piles of the
name slips-one of about IL and the
other a larger pile. He called upon
the judge to examine the box and
the judge ordered the box shaken up
