CLARENCE M. MOORE, A SEAT
TIE BUSINESS MAN, PLACED
UNDER ARREST.
Alleged to Have Been Connected With
Gang Which Brought in Con-
traband Opium.

SEATTLE, June 14.-Clarence NJ.
Moore, manager and one of the propri-
etors of the West Transfer company of
Seattle, has been indicted by the feder-
ing contraband opium from British Co
lumbia into the United States.
The indictment against Moore was
returned in connection with those
against S. B., or Big Steve" Stevens,
w. 5. Cree and Alfred Larson. The
three last named We're arrested May %
by Secret Service Agent Frank Burke
of New York who, after two months
hard work on the case, caught the men
and seized POO pounds of the goods
worth to exceed $4,000.
The four men are charged jointly in
time, the opium was found hidden in
the stable of Larsen on Twenty first
avenue, near jefferson street. Larsen
was an employe of the transfer COM
pany. While there is no way to learn
what the evidence was that was sub
mitted before the grand jury, it is as
sumed that the secret service agents
and other representatives of the gov
eminent gave testimony to show that
Moore either took part in transporting
the opium from the boat that carried
it to Larsen's barn, or else he knew
that the opium was being brought here
and suffered teams owned by him to be
used for an unlawful purpose.

No First Class Roads.

1t should be remembered that there
is not mile Of first class railroad in
Whitman county, all the main line
tracks in this county, being second
class. our assessment of $4,000 per
mile for second class roads is equal to
or higher than $4,000 for first class
roads"
There are $50 miles of main line
track in Whitman county, and at So,
O00 per mile this means a valuation Of
$2,S00,000 on which the railroads will
have to pay taxes, for main line track
alone. There are 20 miles of sidetrack
in the county. The $4,000 per mile for
main line tracks includes all rolling
stock, but does not include real estate
and buildings.
The Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company has 1919 miles of main line
track and 175S miles of sidetrack in
this county. The Northern Pacific has
S5.246 miles of main line track and H.
CPS miles of sidetrack in the county.
Last year the q. r. & y. was assessed
on $26650 worth of buildings and sta
tons. The Northern Pacific was as
sessed on $14,150 worth of buildings

THEY MUST PAY MORE TAXES
Assessor R. n. Duff Puts Up Figures
In Whitman.

COLFAN. Wash. June 14.-Rail
roads in Whitman county will be as
sessed at $4,000 per mile this year.
This is an increase of $4730 per mile
over the assessment of 1903, when the
main line track was assessed at $3.50
per mile for main line and $2217 for
Sidetrack.
r. II. Duff. county assessor said: Il
have assessed all main line tracks in
this county at $4,000 per mile. This
is at the same rate as all other proper
~ is assessed, namely, % per cent of
its actual value. Farm land is as
sessed at % per cent of its market
value, and railroads are placed on the
same footing as farm lands and other
real estate. This is placing the valua
ton of the railroads at $4,000 per
mile.

Moore Is Arrested.


Within thirty minutes after the in
dictment was returned Deputy United
States Marshal Stringer placed Moore
under arrest. The other three men
were already in Jail, having been
placed there by order of United States
Commissioner Kiefer, two weeks ago to
await the action of the grand jury.
Moore's arrest was a surprise. When
the deputy walked into his office at 300
First avenue South Moore apparently
was much taken aback at the charge
that had been placed against him. He
was Immediately taken to the mar
shars office. His bonds were placed at
$4,000. 1t was the plan to arraign the
four men before Judge Hanford late
this afternoon in order that their bonds
might be set.
The date for the trial has not been
set and probably will not be for some
time. The calendar is full until July
q, but it is the intention of United
States Attorney Jesse Frye to arrange
to try the cases soon after that date.
The Indictment charges that the four
men received in Seattle, bought, sold
and transported opium to a hiding
place, knowing the drug to be CONTRA
band on which the government revenue
tax had not been paid. 1t also charges
that the men secured or caused to be
secured opium from agents in NictO-
ria, B. c., and assisted in its trans
portation to Seattle.
Moore has been a resident of Sc
attic for sixteen years. the greater part
of that time having been engaged as
a teamster. For four years he was q
member of the Seattle fire department
