lick of the Puget Sound Savings
bank appeared before the board of

against the high assessment of the

They asked the board to reduce
the assessment from 100 cents on
the dollar to 70 cents, which is about
the rate of assessment on Spokane
and Seattle banks.
The bankers did not wish discrim-
ination in their favor, but simply
asked that the same system be ap-
piled in the valuation of their per-
sonal property as in the case of mer-
chants, with whom they stood on an
equality as far as their risks were
considered.

peared before the board asking for a

having been assured of transporta-
ton to South Bend, We're put off the
train at South Tacoma
After becoming stranded here sew
eral days ago, the show was divided.
Messrs. Arnold and Frost took part
of the outfit and engaged a number
of the performers Yesterday it was
given out that the Arnold and Frost
contingent was to be taken to South
Bend, and when the order was given
to load the outfit everybody went to
work with will After working
nearly all night, the tired performers
and helpers got aboard the train this
morning for South Bend, expecting
that transportation had been pro-
yided for them The Illusion was dis
PEELED when the conductor asked for
tickets. Some of the boys thought
he was joking and attempted to have
some fun with the ticket puncher
He soon made clear to them the hard
fact that the head property man held
tickets for himself and three others
only. TITS no use, boys" he said,
III have to put you off at South
Tacoma"
Put them off he did, and a dozen
show people were left stranded on
the station platform, some of them
without means of getting the next
meal.
The most pitiful case of all was
that Of a crippled boy, who had been
employed on the show grounds as
watchman. He was put off the train
entirely destitute and without
means of earning a living.
The crowd finally got back to
the show grounds, where they spent
the day disconsolately discussing
their plight. Attention was somewhat
taken from their own troubles by o
report that the hospital authorities
had taken from Mrs. Allsop the $25
contributed by the show people for
"FTaViOla." The hospital expenses
were to have been paid by Manager
Collins. The purse made up from
the meager earnings Of her associates
was for her personal use. The con-
dition of the child is but little
changed. She remains helpless, with
little prospect but to be dependent on
others during the rest Of her life.
Those of the show people who are
still in the city are unsparing in their
criticism Of the management for per
mitting the accident to occur. They
ascribe 1t to nothing but criminal
negligence.
Inquiry at the hospital revealed
the fact that the money had been
taken for the present expenses OF
Mrs. Allsop and her daughter.

Ugly rumors of the treatment of
sailors at the hands of keepers OF
sailors boarding houses in the ports
on Puget Sound have been rife for
several months. Lately they have
become more persistent and it has
been suggested by sailors and those
interested in their welfare that the
matter could be best brought to a
head by making the rumors public
1t has been stated to The Times on
reliable authority that an organiza-
tion exists among the keepers of
sailors boarding houses on Puget
Sound which is not for the benefit of

willing to make concessions in the
matter of reinstatement.

strengthened and officers are being
sent to various danger points. Hun
dreds of strikers followed two wag-

ployed at the Swift plant were caught

beaten.

ASTOUNDING REVELATIONS OF
METHODS USED TO SECURE
SAILORS FOR FOREIGN SHIPS

taken effect the sailor Is only too
willing 10 entrust his fate to the
keeping Of the boarding house man.
Arriving at the house, his clothes
are taken away, his money is soon
gone, and the first thing he realizes
is that he is completely at the mercy
of the boarding master. All that iH
left for him TO do then Is accede to
any demands that may be made on
him.
Stuffed Club STILES Objections.
ANY objection to the methods of
procedure at the boarding house re-
suits in the application of stuffed
club to the head Of the victim or a
beating at the hands of an ex-prize-
fighter. With the first opportunity to
ship, the sailor is usually so sick
OF the matter that he would sign
away his wages for the entire voy-
age rather than put up with 1t any
longer. Rather than ask for an i'm
vestigation and run the risk OF
beating. he will make misrepresenta-
tions to the officers, who would pro-
tect him, and lets the boarding house
keeper take his entire advance with
out word of protest.
Crooked Deal stopped
Sometimes word of crooked deal
ing with the sailors is inadvertently
brought to the officers and then an
investigation follows. II Is reported
that a case occurred recently where
representative of the Old Town
house failed to keep faith with a sail
or who had signed his advance over
to the house The ship was ready to
sail when the matter was made
known, but the officers held 1t In
the stream almost an entire day until
the boarding house man could be
found and made to square himself
with the sailor.
Sailors Shipped When Drunk.
Other cases are cited where, II Is
alleged, men have been enticed on
board vessels against their will and
then intimidated into signing for the
voyage. At Port Townsend the board
ing house is located partially over
the water. A trap door Is so ar
ranged that a drunken sailor can be
! lowered into a boat and taken to a
ship without the least detection. Once
on board, ii is not hard matter to
get him to sign for he voyage.
TixtOrt blood Money"
Besides holding up the sailors, the
boarding house keepers work graft
on the masters of vessels. For every
sailor furnished they are compelled
to furnish blood money. This
amounts TO all the way from $35 to
500 for each man The vessel men
dare not protest or expose the prac-
tice, for they know ii would result
in preventing them from hiring am
other crew in that port.
Law Makes System Possible.
Officials hold that the fault Is not
SO much with the boarding house
keepers as with the law that makes
the system possible without some
such system a hardship would some
times be worked on the sailors.
Cases have been cited where the sail
ors' boarding house has proved a
refuge for the seamen out of work,
and has been means of providing an
outfit when an opportunity Is given
to ship. in most cases, however, the
boarding house keeper has the big
end of the deal.
