Seattle, Wash, March 7.-Judge
William Hickman Moore, municip-
al ownership candidate for mayor
of this city, has bean elected by q
majority Of Is votes after one ofthe
closest fights In the history Of. the
city. John Riplinger, republican
candidate, was badly cut in many
of the wards and ran far behind his
ticket. The leaders OF the muni-
cipal ownership party charge gross
frauds in several of the wards, and
had their candidate been defeated
would have contested the election.
The election of Judge Moore is
the most remarkable political VIC
tory that has baen achieved here,

republican leaders, who at all times

ly crimes for which the members of
the Inner Circle will be called upon
to answer Not only were nonun-
ion miners murdered outright,
bombs placed for state officials. but
the poor tools who, committed the
revolving crimes for the inner circle
were themselves victims of this
committee of death.
Harry Orchard was among t g
tools of the Inner Circle marked for
destruction. Had be managed to
have escaped arrest after having as
sassinated Steunenberg, he would
not have lived long to enjoy the
$500 he was to have received for
doing the job.
The confession of Steve Adams,
it is said, shows that the members
of the Inner Circle were suspicious
of Orchard, and that he had been
sbadowed for a long time before he
went to Caldwell for the purpose OF
rlsc'ng the bomb which killed ex-
Governor Steunenberg. Sentence
had been passed upon him, and it is
said that WHIT ther he succeeded as
he did, or failed, he would have
been added to the list of the tools
that have baen put out of the way.

ans will prove this.
Orchard had reached the point
where he knew too much for the
peace of mind of the members ot
the Inner Circle, and he, like others
was slated for destruction.

is firm believer in getting his
rights by recourse to law. He is
now suing the Chicago & Western
Indiana railroad for $5,000,000, but
has also found time to begin suit
against Tony Pacelli. a newsboy,
for 7 cents. This followed a heated
discussion, ending in Condor chas-
ing Pacelli through the corridors of
the hotel, and then filing his suit.
Pacelli contracted to deliver the
papers every morning to Condor.
On March 1 Pacelli rendered a bill
for 70 cents to Condor, which was
paid. Sunday morning Condor
told Pacelli be had been overpaid.
''I paid you 70 cents and I miss
ed one Sunday paper" Condor is
said to have declared. Besides
there are only 2S days in February
and you owe me cents."
Pacelli refused to refund and the
suit is the result.

this organization is disconragiug to the
officers and the results are nothing like
so great as they might be if the organiza-
ton had the active cooperation of its
citizens. l am not complaining, but I
feel that the organization is essential to
the development of this town'.and county
and that it has accomplished during the
last year great deal of good, and that
with the support which it deserves it's
work could be much more bsnefcial and
effective. To my mind the maintenance
of the organization at its highest state of
efficiency is essential to the best interests
of Corvallis.
In regard to conditions locally the in
crease in new buildings was probably the
most noticeable. From figures and esti-
mates obtained from builders and con-
tractors l feel safe in saying that 100 re
sidences were erected in and around
Corvallis during the past year, and that
these and other local improvements have
resulted in gross expenditure Of proba
bly, $l5O,OOO. ''-.'-'.'
The gross tonnage by rail in and out of
Corvallis for 1905 exceeded that of the
previous year by 33 per cent, while the
receipts from passenger business during
the same period even at the very low
rates in effect during the Lewis and Clark
Fair, show so per cent increase.

Completes Its Work.

O'Clock this morning the grand jury
filed into the courtroom at Caldwell
and Foreman Moses delivered into
the hands Of Judge Smith q large
package of legal documents having
the appearance of indictments. The
court cautioned the members of the
| jury against talking Of their work,
especially of the persons against
whom indictments had been return :
Cd, The jury then returned for
further trans action Of business.
When Judge Smith looked over
the papers handed him, it was seen
that II different. instruments con-
stituted the report Of the grand ju-
Try. To an earnest request for such
Information as might safely be CIV
en- out Judge Smith said that, the
law prohibited information Of in
ldictments being made public until
the PARTIES informed against had
been arrested and arraigned..
Itis, however stated on good au-
thority that Mercer, Haywood, Pet
tibone, St. John, Orchard, Adams
and at least three others have been
indicted for the murder of ex Cow
ernor Steunenberg. Sheriff Nichols
is on bis way to Boise and it is be-
lieved he is carrying warrants for
all the men in the penitentiary that
are awaiting grand jury action.
The defendants attorneys will
demand their immediate arraign-
meot In order to begin to raise OBJ

probably all the indicted men will
be taken to Caldwell tomorrow.
