cular Investigation is concerned, the
Department of Justice has failed
and the community has been done
an injustice. Because 1t is the theory
OF our Government that everybody
! who violates the law with the in
tent and purpose to destroy the
peace and quiet of the community
should be punished. II is wise
law; 1t Is wise theory Of Govern
ment. And therefore every one Of
us should earnestly engage in the
important work that we have at
this time.

TREND OF TESTIMONY SHOWS
THAT CITY FOREMAN HAS
BEEN ELECTED SCAPEGOAT
FOR THE HOWARD STREET
BRIDGE.

Before the investigating commit
tee yesterday F. P. Weymouth,
chairman of the board Of public
works, said that at the time the
Washington Water Power company
was allowed to commence the re-
construction of the Howard street
bridge, a part of which fell last
Sunday evening, he was aware that
the bridge had served its time and
that 1t had gone beyond the years
when experts On bridges say 1t is
safe.
Probing into the question of who
is responsible for the collapse of
the structure was continued today,
the individual members of the COM
mission working quietly and indus
triously on their own response
bility.
There seems to be a disposition
on the part Of Weymouth and City
Engineer Mcintyre to make a
scapegoat out OF John J. McCor-
mick, foreman of the bridge crews
of the city, who recently resigned
when Weymouth took him to task
for talking too much"
They say that in the capacity Of
foreman Mccormick should have
reported on the condition of city
bridges.
Mccormick admits that he made
reports on bridges, not in the line
of his duties, but as cautions, in
order to save the city from acct
dent.
Another point disclosed at the
session yesterday was that En-
ginee Rihler of the Washington
Water Power company turned in no
report Of the extent of his plans
in the reconstruction of the bridge.
This matter particularly will be
investigated, to see what actual re-
construction was done and whether
1t was sufficient to clear the Wash
ington Water Power company from
blame.

not thought possible that his plea
will be changed, Olcott merely
opening the way for any possible
contingencies.
Mrs. Thaw has decided to tell
the whole story Of her life before
marriage in desperate effort to
save her husband. The defense
will show that Thaw knew all his
wife's affairs and attempt to prove
them enough to overthrow the rea-
son Of any man.
One great grievance that ranked
Thaw Is that before his marriage
his present wife threatened him a
civil suit backed with atiidavits
Thaw would have paid any sum to
suppress. He compromised and
married her. 1t Is said White had
much to do with preparing the
afiidavits.

What action Corporation Counsel
Geraghty will take to prosecute
guilty parties is not known. He
will not talk on the subject.
City Engineer Mcintyre testified
that the Howard street bridge was
built in 1901. The life of such Q
bridge, he said, is 10 years.
George e. Miller, of the commit.
tee, state that a further examine
ton would show more than ono
timber in the bridge wreck would
prove to be rotten.
The engineers office has not
made an inspection since 1908. Nc.

Mccormick.
The committee sessions were
continued this afternoon.
At the meeting this afternoon Of
the bridge investigating committee,
Secretary Blocker of the Washing
ton Water Power company said
that the Howard street bridge
plans had been submitted by the
city engineering department and
the company had sent these to
Bihler at Tacoma for his approval.
Mr.. Blocker supposed the recon.
struction followed these plans.

The Press yesterday against the
projected increase in insurance
rates is supported by the heaviest

They hold that the city is rather
entitled to the decrease promised
because Of the new waterworks,
