TROUBLE IN
FREE CHURCH

Rev j. w. Roberts of the First Free
church has resigned Yesterday, Rev. Mar
tin appeared to preach for him, and at
the conclusion of his sermon he read Mr..
Roberts resignation To some of the
members the resignation came as a thun-
derbolt from a clear sky, but othey were
expecting it,
The substance of the letter was that Gun
der the existing conditions" Mr. Roberts
felt compelled to resign, although he re.
GREETED exceedingly to do so.
The conditions" which made the resig-
nation advisable are said to have arisen
as the result of several little disagree
ments that have occurred from time to
time. Financial difficulties are also said
to have figured in the affair.
Samuel Collyer, one of the trustees. wte
seen by The Times, and said
This is just a little matter between
ourselves. There is nothing that the public
would be interested in"

MURDERER
IS MOROSE

Stolid and Indifferent to all mankind,
Bob Taylor, the murderer, sits in his cell
and stares blankly at the floor in front of
him. He is growing morose and does not
talk as much as he did at first.
The pistol with which he committed his
dastardly crimes and the dagger, made of
hle, are in the sheriff. The diary in
which he had kept record of his doings
from day to day for several months is in
care of someone at Puyallup.
Sheriff Denholm is improving, but by
the order of his physicians no one is per-
mitted to see him.
DR.. Park Holland, of Billings Mont.
has written to Sheriff Denholm in regard
to his son, Richard Holland, who was with
Barnes when he was killed few days ago
DR. Holland says that he gave his son
permission to come West. He says that
the boy is truthful and that he can be
depended upon to appear when wanted, if
they should care to hberate him until the
time of the trial.

Chief Maloney stated that the first of
May would see a strict enforcement of
the rules of the police department and
certain ordinances that have been dead
letters. He states that, among other
things, the officers have been instructed
that boys under Is years of age must not
be allowed in saloons. The rigid enforce
ment of that provision will meet with the
approval of all good citizens, and will
undoubtedly result in a curtailment of pro-
fits in certain well known resorts.

81 per night, the money for the entire visit

visited one of these alleged "inns" and
found arrangements included as many cots
as a room would hold. 2lnstead of a mat
tress, excelsior is being spread on the cots
and some cheap cloth lacked over it. Once
such concerns get your money, there is no
recourse.
The Christian En9eavor and the Ep-
worth League have hotels that will care
fore about 1000 guests each and they are
booking many guests.
The people are not altogether to blame
for high prices. A trust or association of
real estate and rental men got together
two years ago and planned to extort all
the money they could, short of resorting to
actual torture. They secured leases on all
the houses they could Then last year
they raised rents They have kept raising
which rented for $l2 month before the
fair, now brings 500. house which rent
ed for $25 two years ago, now brings $3.50
A local newspaper printed page of such
instances and straightway was denounced
for knocking the fair"
The unfortunate tenants kicked in vain.
They could get no other houses any cheap
er. So, purely in selfdefense, they raised
their rates. They followed the gougers'
advice to "get it out of the visitors
Salarfed Men Suffer
Saared people suffered most. Organic
ed labor secured increases. Carpenters at
the fair get $6 and IS per day and common
laborers $3.50. But the army of clerks,
stenographers and professional men are
the sufferers Those who rent are unable
to pay the price demanded in many cases
out of their earnings. Those who board
were notified by their landlords that they
would have to pay transient rates after
April Is or move.
These salaried people were liberal con-
tributors to the fund of $5 900 900 raised in
st. Louis for the fair. They would CON
tribute as much again to get rid of It.
In an effort to make il pay well, the
exposition company set bad example. 1t
is estimated that there are 1900 carloads
of exhibits here, of which only about 1000
cars have been unloaded One firm has
this concession and cars must be consigned
to it. If an exhibitor hires another man
to team in his goods, the fair people put
guide on his wagon at so cents an hour
and charge him for the use of the unload
ing platform at each building. The block
ade of wagons is big and the charges soon
mount up.
The railway into the grounds is called
the Taylor City railroad 1t takes charge
of the cars at East ST. Louis, three or four
miles away and charges from $l4 to $ls
per car for getting them into the grounds.
Local people are suffering as much or
more than visitors. For the residents
must bear the extortion until December
and the visitor rarely remains longer than
two weeks. But the local people believe
these conditions cannot obtain long and
they are praying for relief.

TIGERS WIN
BOTH GAMES
PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE STANDING.

-Four straight games and three shutouts
Is the record made by the pennant-hunting
Tigers since they commenced the job of
showing the Oakland bunch what good
baseball is. Saturday afternoon, with St.
Vrain in the box, the score was 3 to in
favor of the Tigers. In the first inning
Oakland got look in at the game by one
man getting to second on wild pitch A
couple of them had passes that read First
base only" but the majority didn't get
that far.
Yesterday was another record breaker.
AT the morning game the attendance was
good and fast game was put up. Oak
land couldn't make connections more than
three times and the Tigers piled up the
runs about as fast as they wanted to.
Overall pitched.
In the afternoon the attendance was
equal to, if not larger than, that of the
opening day. Keefe made his first appear
ance in the box and did business from
the start. 1t was another whitewash for
Qokland. In the ninth inning, Oakland
had a glimpse of score, but Schafey
everran the plate and was caught out. The
