NOME BOATS RACE.
Contests Of Steamers I'm the Traffic
With the North.

White Star liner Oregon came in
smiling this morning some five hours
ahead of her rival, the Pacific Coast
steamship Senator. in the six-trtp sea-
son race between the two boats in
question on the Seattle-NOme run,
says the Seattle News Both boats
made quick trips from the north and
both will be hurried with all possible
dispatch for an early departure on the
next trip.
Al the beginning OF the race and for
the first four trips the Senator held
the leading place with the Oregon
close on her heels. At the end of the
fourth trip, on the occasion OF their
last visit to this port, the oregon came
in few hours ahead, and left ahead
of her rival.
The next trip of the two boats will
be their last, and the honors OF the
race are still to be won. The fact that
they are so close together at the pres
ent time has caused the most intense
interest to be taken in the outcome
of the contest. Both vessels arriving
this morning brought large lists OF
passengers and heavy shipments of
gold.

1t is not known under what term
the alleged shortage occurred. The
work of the experts began with the
term of Ben Burroughs in 1898. Fol-
lowing him w. d, Chamberlain serv-
ed two terms while the present in
cumhent. Frank Sailing, has been in
office one year. From appearances,
1t would seem that possibly some
thing wrong may be found with all
three administrations.
One member of the court house
force said today that il was rather
hard for clerk to know just what
documents should be charged for
when filed. Consequently he could
very easily fail to charge for the filing
of something without having any
wrong intent, However, this ignorance
would not save an official from having
to make good any amount TO be due
the county through his mistake.

Seattle, oct. 2.-Smuggled into the
United States by means of mock mar
riages, il is claimed that Japanese
slave girls are flocking to Walla walla,
Spokane and other inland cities,
where they are placed in dens OF vice
which disgrace the west.
immigration inspectors now admit
that there is an organized gang OF
japanese who are evidently import
ing the women. While men always
come to the front and marry the NO =
men according to the american laws
before they leave the vessel. it has
been ascertained that many of the
women enter houses of ill-repute with
in three or four months after arriving
in port
1t has been learned beyond doubt
that a number of the men marrying
the Japanese women are hired by the
importers. After the ceremony has
been performed the women are taken
to one OF the inland towns in the state
and within few weeks are found in
slavery. AT the present time the Jap
anese women are known to be flock
ing TO Spokane. Olympia, Walla Walla
and other places on both sides of the
mountains.
According to the customs of the
Japanese the marriages are said to
have been arranged in the orient. So
far as the immigration officers know
officially the women come to this
country to meet their prospective hus-
bands, according to an arrangement
entered into between the parents of
both.

ANOTHER OFFICIAL SHORTAGE ALLEGED

Is there a shortage I'm the accounts
of the county clerks Officer That
there is, is persistently rumored and
from what information that could be
secured today from the officials there
is apparently some ground for the ru-
NOR. However, the amount is not
thought to be large and II is said that
the shortage is of such a nature as to
indicate clearly that there was no
criminal action intended on the part
of anyone.
When asked regarding the matter
this afternoon, Expert Beckwith stat
ed that the errors found consisted of
failures to charge for the filing of pa
pars which under the law must be paid
for by those filing them. Also he
stated that the work of investigation
was not yet complete and that the
shortage might yet be wiped out be-
fore they were through.

Reports have become current to-
day of a bunco game which was work
ed extensively here last evening, and
with such success as to indicate that
the operators had some training along
lines of frenzied finance.
The method of operating was for
the gang to meet with an unsuspecting
victim and inquire If he knew whether
or not the Portland train was in. To
this the guileless party would always
say that il was. Then some member
of the gang would offer to bet a dol

MlDUEEIE ACCOUNTED

A. McDufie, former detective of the
police force, was acquitted OF accepting
a bribe, by instruction of the court this
afternoon. At the close Of the prose-
cution Attorney f. e. Thompson made
motion that the court instruct the
jury to acquit, on the ground that the
offense charged in he Indictment had
not been proved. After hearing argu-
ment the court granted the motion and
verdict of not guilty was at once re-
turned.
Hi Sheriff Henry was a wilLess this
afternoon in the trial of A. McDuffie on
a charge Of accepting a brlbe as a po-
lice officer. He was called to testify as
to McDufie's commission. but was not
able to identify the document produced
as a commission, its date being prior to
HIS term of office. The document was
therefore not introduced. After the
sherin's testimony the prosecution
closed, and Attorney Thompson made a
motion for an instructed verdict of ac-
quittal The motion was based largely
on the ground that proof that McDufie
was an officer was lacking. The jury
was excused while the motion was
argued.

GUANO CHARTER
VIKING OF HAWAII HAS BEEN
ENGAGED BY THE KING OF lay
SAN IN GUANO TRADE.

Captain Schlemmer has chartered the
schooner Lavinia from Captain Weis-

trade. Weisbarth, the Old Viking,
showed such a deep and fearful concern
in Schlemmer's welfare while the lat
ter was marooned at Laysan Island
this year, that the King of Laysan for
gave some of the short com1ngs OF the
Viking and chartered the Lavinia. The
Lavinia will take the household furni-
ture Of the Schlemmers to Laysan
while the family will go to Laysan by
the schooner Charles Levi Woodbury.
Both schooners will leave Honolulu
about May 3. Captain Schlemmer will
send a piano to Laysan for the amuse-
ment of the family
