Senator GRADY and Assemblyman HORN
IDSE have introduced in the Legislature a
bill 10 provide pensions for EMPLOYEES Of
the Department Of Finance who ha @ COM
pleted thirty-hve years Of service and who
in the judgment of the Comptroller and the
Board of Estimate and Apportlonment
should be retired in the interests OF the
public service. On retirement the clerks
would receive half pay, and no pensioner
would be allowed more than 81 500 year.
Unlike policemen and fremen, municipal
clerks are subjected 10 no unusual hazard
OF danger in performing their duties, and
why they consider themselves entitled TO
pensions is mystery. II New York adopts
the policy of pensioning its old employees,
the taxpayers will have to curtail their
private expenses to foot the bills. The

SAVAGE BEAR LOOSE AT TACOMA
Animal Breaks Chain While Children
Are Teazinn 1t.

TACOMA, March IA bear about
two years old that mas been a pet at
the st. Julien saloon escaped last night.
For a year past, the bear has been
growing more savage, and recently it
became so dangerous that it became
unsafe to go near it, Yesterday several
children were teasing the animal, when
it made a savage lunge and broke it's
chain. The children escaped. The
bear, finding itself at liberty, went ca
reening down the street with persons
flying in every direction. 1t finally ran
under a wharf at the waterfront, and
could not be coaxed nor driven out.
Today the police made an effort to kill
the animal, but it had crawled so far
beneath the wharf that it could not be
seen.
Later it was reported that the bear
had escaped from it's concealment and
is now roaming at large in the east adj
dition.

WHITMAN GYMNASIUM WILL BE
EQUIPPED WITH THE
VERY BEST.
Efficient Instructor Will be Provided BY
the Trustees-WiiI Come
From the East.

The order has been placed for ap-
paratus for the new Whitman College
gymnasium and will be put in POI
sition during the coming summer. The
gymnasium will be in charge of
trained college athlete from one of the
large universities, who will be selected
school opens next September.
The order for the gymnastic appara-
tus was placed with the Narragansett
Machine company of Providence, r. l.,
one of the largest companies in Ameri-
ca 1t will include full supply of the
best apparatus such as is used in the
largest gymnasiums in the east. The
wall will be encircled with chest
weights and racks for dumbells and
Indian clubs of all sizes. There will be
large parallel bars, horizontal bars and
swinging rings with every other ap-
pliance used in gymnasiums of the
most modern type.
The man who will have charge of the
work has not been selected yet by the
trustees, but he will be college grad
uate who has had training in gym
nastic work and is himself an eX-
perienced athlete who can train out-of-
door teams and also give regular class
and private instruction in the gymna-
stun. 1t is probable that gymnasium
work will be made compulsory by the
faculty and will be required of every
student in the institution for at least
two years, certain credits being allowed
for this work towards graduation. The
only exception will be those whose
physical condition or necessity for their
working their way through college
takes all their time.
The girls will also nave regular
classes under the new instructor Ger
tain hours will be set apart for their
use of the gymnasium, during which
they will have full possession and the
remaining time will be allotted to the
young men.

mittee on municipal corporations pass
ing favorably upon Mayor r. A. Bal
linger's scheme and the banks and
banking committee turning down the
Falconer- Clapp program. The organi-
cation of c. J. Lord was strong enough
to defeat the bill that threatened his
interests, but the senators, free to vote
as they pleased, passed the municipal
bill.
Falconer believes if he can get an
other bill through the house which
contains the essential features of his
bill he will put those senators who
voted for the municipal bill in a most
embarrassing attitude. Whether he
actually passes the Scott bill or not,
the embarrassment caused will be Of
considerable interest to the Snohomish
county man.
It was originally intended by
Falconer to demand an investigation
into the causes that led to the defeat
of his bill in the senate. Later he
changed his program and decided to at
least defer this plan. It may be that
Falconer will have something to say
during the closing days of the session,
but he is now menaced by an attack on
his own legislative interests.

ASSOCIATED WITH NEGRO SOLDIERS
Painful Confession Of Young Girl in Superior Court ysster
day in Brown Assault Case--BroWn Goes Free

Miss Bessie Belieu, who confessed
that she is but seventeen years of age,
sat on the witness stand in the SUI
perior court yesterday and admitted
that she associated with negro SOL
diers; that she has been in Jail twice
within the past year and that she is
in the habit of lettering about the sa-
looms Of Walla Walla.
Miss Belieu had been called as a wit
ness for the state in the case Of Frank
Brown, charged with assault with in
tent to commit robbery. After reciting
the fact that she and girl companion
had met Brown at Waliula last Octo-
Der, and that he had proposed that
they relieve an old farmer of $500, af-
forwards proposing a scheme to rob
Jim Lee, the complaining witness
against Brown, Miss Belieu was turned
over to Attorney c. c. Gose, counsel
for the defendant.
To the first questions put to her as
to her age and place of residence the
past two months, Miss Belieu answered
that she was seventeen and that she
had been residing at the Washington
house. Attorney Gose, although plain
liz reluctant to expose the varied ca
reer of the young girl, insisted that it
was only justice to his client that her
reputation be laid bare, and he opened
up with a string of questions that
brought the red to the girls cheeks
and caused jurymen and spectators
alike to lean forward in their seats
open mouthed and open cared for the
answers that reluctantly came.
Miss Belieu, is it not a fact that
you have consorted with negro
soldiers ?" she was asked.
Bessie looked imploringly first at the
court and then at the jury, plainly en-
barrassed at the question.
You may answer" spoke up Prose
cutting Attorney Wilson.
Eyes, sir came the answer family
How many times, Bessie, have you
been in jail?" was the next question
put by Attorney Gose.
Twice" came the answer more
promptly. Il would have been alrigh,

"Have you been in the habit of lott
ering about the saloons of Walla

This was more than the girl could
stand and she looked appealingly tc

being advised by Attorney Wilson tc
answer, she replied that she had been
in one saloon. To the relief of the
witness Attorney Gose signified that he

Before anyone will be allowed to ex-
ercise in the gymnasium it will be re-
quired by the faculty that they take a
physical examination given by the new
director in order that any possible
physical weakness may be discovered
so that he can prescribe the right kind
and amount Of exercise for each in
dividual case and so avoid danger of
overstrain.
Besides the formal classes the new
man will give instruction in sparring,
fencing and wrestling, to such students
as wish to take them.
Gymnastic exhibitions will be given
at frequent intervals for the purpose
of stimulating public interest. The
gallery in the gymnasium will accom-
odate 500 persons as it now is and al
ready it has been proposed that 1t be
extended entirely around the building.
From it large number of people can
comfortable witness the games and
feats which will be held on the main
floor of the big room.
The contract for laying the sewer has
been let to The Sutherland Company
which will proceed at once to finish the
plumbing of the building and the heat

is said to be larger than the swimming
tank in the great Yale gymnasium.
The water will be tempered by steam
from hot water pipes as it will not re-
ouire that more than the chill be taken
off it. A good place for swimming
during the hot weather of summer is
thus provided and a plunge after tennis
or other out Of door sport will be ex-
hilarating and beneficial to the stu
dents A great many of them are even
now daily expressing the wish that
the tank were finished.
The building has been fitted with a
large number of electric switches from
which complete control of the complex
system which lights the building will
be had The switchboard is located in
the room to the right on the second
floor which will be used as an office
by the director. When all the lights
on the main floor are turned on the
gymnasium will be brilliantly lighted
The first public use of the new build
ing will be on commencement week
when the annual college dinner vii
be held there. Tables laid with places
for over 200 people will be set in the
big room on that day.

had no further questions to ask, and

Threatened Her Life.
Attorney Wilson created a mild SEN
sation when he drew out of the girl
that her life had been threatened by
Brown If she dared to testify against
MIN. Miss Belieu was confined in the
jail on a charge of vagrancy at the
time Brown was incarcareted. While
IN Jail Brown learned that she was to
be a witness for the state and Il
was then she said that he had told her
that if she testified against him that
he would kill her as soon as ne got
free. Brown on the stand vehemently
denied this.
Lee Was Contradictory.
Jim Lee. the Chinaman who accused
Brown of Turing him to dark spot in
Wallula one night last October, got
considerably mixed in his testimony.
In his first statement he insisted that
Brown was his assailant, but under
cross examination admitted that he
and Brown had met a third party, who
had Immediately attacked him while
Brown had taken to his heels. Lee
said he was struck eight times on the
head and knocked senseiess, although
he distinctly remembered that Brown
had picked up grip he had carried
and run away. Lee appeared at the
Ash saloon soon after with blood pour
ing from his head. Brown was also
in the saloon and he had accused him
of holding him up.
Lee Would be a Washer.
Browns side of the story was to the
effect that he had met the Belieu girl
and her companion, at the Wallula de-
form with them. This was about six
o'clock in the evening. The girls were
evidently out for a time. This fact
Brown said he communicated to Lee.
when the Chinaman Immediately pro-
posed that they hunt up the girls This
was agreeable to Brown, and after the
Chinaman had deposited $40 with the
bartender at Ash's saloon, they started
out. 1t was while looking for the girls
around the depot that they were hell
up and Lee battered about the head by
the highwayman.
Brown Acquitted.
Browns case went to the jury at
o'clock and a half hour later a verdict
of acquittal was returned. Brown ex-
pressed considerable pleasure at the
verdict as it means that his long So
journ in the county Jail is at an end.
The young man has been confined in
Jail since last October waiting trial.

and came suddenly upon the revolver.
The visitor picked it up and fingered
it curiously. She inadvertently pulled
the trigger and the weapon was dis
charged. At that moment the muZZle
was pointing almost directly toward
Mrs. Matthes, and the ball penetrated
ner right breast, passing through the
left breast and then the flesh of the
left arm. No bones were broken, but
the flesh wounds are exceedingly pain
full, and on account of their nature and
location are regarded as very serious.
Mrs. Matthes is a middle aged woman.
The ball was about 38-calibre.

WILL TRY TO PASS SCOTT BILL.
FaIconer to Renew His Fight for State
Board of Deposits.


OLYMPIA, March Representative
Falconer has renewed mis- fight for the
creation of a state board of deposits.
He will take advantage of the Scott bill
still pending in the house to make an
other effort to get the measure through
the senate.
1t is a question whether it would be
possible to amend the Scott bill so as
to make it similar to the bill killed in
the senate this week, but the essential
features of the Falconer bill can be
added to the Scott bill and the meas
ure sent to the upper house for another
fight.
The vote in the senate on the bill
that permits the collection of interests
on municipal and county deposits is
encouraging to the members of the
house who have been making the fight
for the Falconer bill. To members of
the senate, however, this vote does not
mean much.
Two different committees had the
two bills under consideration, the COM
