our citizens for donations OF wo-

This department OF our work has
grown to such an extent that it has
been placed in the hands Of the Ia
dies auxiliary, which distributes the
clothing every Thursday afternoon.
The number Of pieces being distrib-
uted every week ranges from so to

to supply the demand.

HEARST MEN
MAY CONTROL

SPOKANE, July 30.-"The Hearst
people will have absolute control or
the Bellingham convention" stated
Thomas Malony Last evening. "Judg-
ing from the list of delegates sent
by many of the west side counties
to the Bellingham convention, l be-
lieve the Hearst people will be more
in evidence than they were at the
Olympia convention, and everyone
knows the strength they developed
there"
Mr. Malony is of the opinion that
Van R. Pearson of Seattle will un-
doubtedly be the choice of the Bell
ingham convention for lieutenant
governor.
Indications point to the fact that
the Turner element in Spokane ia
vors the naming of William Black
man, state labor commissioner, as
running mate for Senator Turner.
and it is claimed by some that an
agreement may have been arrived
at between the friends of the ex-seu-
ator and the Blaekman representa-
tives. The bait reported to be thrown
oat to Blackman is that he may be
clothed with the power of the chief
executive for the greater part of his
soiouFn at the state capital If elect
ed
An effort is being made to have
Senator Turner change his plan of
not attending the Bellingham CON
vention, and it is possible he may
yet take hand in shaping the state
ticket next Tuesday.

SAYS TACOMA SHOULD
OWN TELEPHONE LINE

D. B. Cook has the following to say
on the telephone question:
''It is daily being demonstrated
that private monopolies are a public
curse and that public utilities should
be owned and controlled by munich
palities. Tacoma has her water and
light system, with a city electrician,
a force of linemen, and poles set all
over the city. Why should she not
also have her own telephone system? =?
The city is certainly in a position to
put in and maintain a telephone sys-
tenn much cheaper than any private
company could do so. The intelligent
citizens of Tacoma can control their
own telephone system and not be at
the mercy of monopoly or to the
expense and annoyance of two COM
panies."

FiCt iOus Names Are Placed on Record to Hide the
OffenderS-MaYOr Wright and Chief MaIOny Only
Know the LntriCaCieS OfTaCOn7a,S "Fining'
SySten7--SIOt Machine Business
Also Kept Secret

The premiums paid by gamblers,
disorderIy women and the operators
of slot machines into the city treas
ury for July privileges aggregate
$3,770, as compared with $3,330
during June, and $2,795 for May.
The revenues derived from the fallen
women during the three months
since Mayor Wright and Chief Ma
Iony instituted their system have
varied slightly, the amoant for May
being $1,035, for June $1,000, and
for July $1,000.
The fines imposed upon trade
slot machines have remained sta
tionary around $235.
Where the Gain Came From.
The big increase in the "open
town" revenues during the three
months has come principally from
the installation of homeopathic slot
machines, owned and controlled by
F. H. Baldie There are now approx
imately 1876 of these gambling de-
vices in operation, and for each OF
these it is supposed that Chief Ma
lony assesses $40 per month. The
rate on the trade slots is IS per
month, and while it is generally sup
posed that the rate is $40 on the
money slots, no one except Chief Ma
lony and Mayor Wright is on the in
side of the latter deal.
The Gambling Houses.
There are now eight fuH-fedged
gambling houses running in Tacoma,
besides several poker games, and

Town. What rate or schedule Chfef
Malony has adoptedain regulating the
fines on these establishments lis an

and, presumably, to Mayor Wright
Use Fictitious Ea4Res.
Every fine which is pat down as
forfeited bail'' is paid in at the po-
lice station by some peFsoa who has
fictitious name placed in the po-
lice record. The premiums paid by
the money slot machine operators
are collected in the same manner.
Everything connected with the pay
ment of gamblers fine is carried
through with mysterious secrecy.
The Authority to Fix Bail.
The individual credited with pay
ing fine is charged with being d
disorderly person, and his occupation
is usually given as that of logger
or a sailor. Chief Mallory there
upon fixes the bail of the offender, al
though the police court judge is the
only person authorized to fix the bail
of anyone arrested by the police. BY
common consent the police force in
most cities is allowed to fix the bail
of ordinary drunk and disorderIy
cases, but that privilege is never CIV
en- to the chief of police where the
offense demands bail of more than
500.
How the Scheme Works.
When Chief Mallory has named the
bail for the offender he is allowed
to go and the affair Is practically
ended, although the fictitious name is
