Detective tSauffer, at the inves-
tigation yesterday, remarked that
Manager Cosgrove of the fair asso-
citation said Fair Director Stimmell
wanted to put new man In charge
OF the fair police because the new
man had a pull with the city
council 1t is easy to figure out
this statement. The "other man"
Mr.. Stimmell wanted was T. H. Nc
Dermott, who while detective OF
more or less ability, at the time
was working for the Washington
Water Power company as car in
spector." The company at the time
was having trouble with Its en-
ployes and seemed to feel the need
OF numerous inspectors. The
pull with the city council, then,

the ordinary citizen has no such
privilege"
He also stated that the police
commission could give no special
authority for streets service, but
could simply confer it only for
some designated place, such as
Waterman.
Detective Bob Briley said the
bookmakers desired the touts out
there, and Geraghty asked who
gave instructions to the police, the
department or the bookmakers.
Geraghty tried to draw fine line
on touts working at the fair, but
did not go into the question OF
open gambling on the races and in
the poolrooms downtown.
The next witness called was
Charles Jeffries, who last year was
presiding judge at the track. He
explained the difference between
straight touting and crooked tout
ing, and said that in relation to the
poolroom downtown they did not al
low touts there and he had known
of Stauffer taking them out of such
places.
Detective McDermott, of the city
police force, took the stand and
some information was brought out
which Stauffer tried to show in q
bad light for Miles. Stauffer asked
McDermott II he didn't help him ar
rest three touts year ago whom
Justice Hinkle gave rock pile SEN
fences. Stauffer said one of them
had offered him S. a day to work
and he had told McDermott of the
occurrence. McDermott remember
ed 1t and said that woman who
claimed to be one Of the tout's
wives afterward offered him $40 to
intercede for her husband. He said
he could do nothing and that she
would find her husband on the rock
pile, which he believed Miles was
In charge Of. He further said that
that evening a report was left at
the station that the two touts had
escaped from the rock pile.
Detective Miles objected to the
inference that he had taken the
woman's money and allowed the
touts to escape. and when asked
how it was brought about referred
to the chief of police.
The mayor asked him to state,
so McDermott said that the chief
had told him that II any Of the

PICKP0CKET SETTLES
WITH VICTIM

A fast trip by the patrol wagon
last night to Second avenue and
Post street was productive of some
strong language on the part of po-
lice when it was discovered that
Mamie Smith, colored wench who
is tall sideways, had settled with
the man she robbed and induced
him to get away before the police
arrived. The man had called the
police, saying the women robbed
him Of his wallet. He and some
other people were holding her and
he asked the police to hurry. But
the woman decided the best way
out OF it was to give him back the
money and the man left without
giving the police an idea Of who
he was. Before Justice Hinkle this
afternoon the woman will be
charged with vagrancy and advised
to 60 to Tacoma or some other
town where they don't know any
better.

TEAM WORK AT THE FAIR

ION Derby day, Just before I
went into the fair grounds, a man
named Ike something asked me If
was a police officer. l said yes
and he told me that Miles had put
him off the track and then told him
If he would say he was paying
money to Detective Stauffer he
would allow him to tout during the
rest Of the pace meet"
The above statement was made
by Special Agent Burns of the cor
poration counsel's Office, at the in
quiry today into charges of graft
ing by Stauffer at the Interstate
fair. Burns testimony came in the
way Of surprise. Before making
that statement he said that De-
tective George Miles had all along
showed enmity towards Stauffer.
On the occasion of the arrest of
touts Hart and Cahan, when
Stauffer looked into the secretary's
Office at the fair, where Miles had
left the touts for identification, he
(Miles) asked him (Burns) what
Stauffer was looking in for and II
he was looking for money, said the
witness.
81 replied that Miles should not
speak that of brother ofiicer.V
