Governor Mead Releases Three
ConvlCts From Prison.
FORMER CITY TREASURER TILLY IS ONE
ALL THE PAROLES WERE GRANT.
ED ON RECOMMENDATION
OF WARDEN KEGS.

Governor Mead has granted paroles
to F. G. lilly, who while city treas
urer of Hoquiam, was charged with
embezzlement of public funds, pleaded
guilty and was sentenced January %
1905 to two years; Thomas Dunn. SEN
1903, to six years for forgery, and
Stanley Ray, sentenced in Whatcom
county April 20, 1904, to five years for
forgery.
The lilly parole was recommended
by A. J. Mcintyre, mayor of Hoquiam,
several of the members of the council
at the time of the embezzlement and
numerous other citizens and officials.
on the ground that Tillys offense par
took more of the nature of carelessness
and unbusinesslike methods than in
tent to defraud. Reports on him to the
governor indicate that he has learned
be achieved by keeping him longer
in prison. His conduct there has been
his entire stay at the prison and has
acted as mailcarrier.
Thomas Dunn is subject to epileptic
fits, and pleaded that his offense was
committed when mentally irresponsible.
Judge w. E. Richardson who passed
sentence, and r. M. Barnhart, who
prosecuted, recommended a parole, the
Judge saying he would have imposed a
much lighter sentence had he known
of Dunn's condition.
Stanley Ray, a young Canadian, OF
good family, with an irreproachable
record preceding his offense, which was
a fruitless attempt to pass forged
check on a bank in Bellingham, at his
trial refused counsel and pleaded
guilty, in an attempt to avoid the dis
grace reaching his family. He refused
all information about himself for the
same reason, though the judge tolo
him he would pass a lighter sentence
if given assurance Of previous goo6
conduct.
All the paroles are granted on til
recommendation of Warden KEGS, after
investigation by H. T. Jones, of the
board of control.

NO IMPROVEMENT IN WATER SUPPLY
Water Officials May Have to Tap Mill
Creek to Secure Sufficient
Supply.

notwithstanding that all the pumps
in the waterworks were kept going all
day yesterday and throughout the
night, the supply Of water in the reser-
voirs remains about in the same con-
dition as reported yesterday. Superin-
tendent Knight is using every avail
able supply at his command to replen-
ish the reservoirs, but is meeting with
poor success. The pumps were still
going at full force late this afternoon.
and it was the hope of the water
officials that some improvement could
be shown by night.
They say that it is imperative that
consumers refrain from allowing
hydrants in yards and houses to run
wide open, as there is danger Of using
I'D every bit of water that can be put
in the reservoirs.
Unless there is a chance to replenish
the almost depleted reservoirs by to-
morrow morning the water officials
fear they will have to tap Mill creek in
order to have sufficient water for do
nestle and fire purposes.

CONSTITUTION COMMITTEE TO REPORT

At the Odd Fellows temple tomor-
row night a meeting of the promoters
of the Fifty Thousand club will be held
to receive the report of the committee
appointed to draft constitution and
bylaws. This committee expects to
have it's report ready for the meeting
and present it to the club for action
While none of the provisions of the
constitution have peen announced by
the committee, it is generally believed
that the management of the clubs af-
fairs will be placed in the hands of an
executive committee. If this is adopted
the committee will probably be selected
at tomorrow nights meeting.
Committee at Work.
The committee on invitation has
been at work during the week and a
large attendance is expected. After
the adoption of the constitution and
bylaws those present will be given an
opportunity of joining. They will be
required to pay fee of 81 and will be
presented with buttons denoting their
membership.
In speaking of the movement today
one of the leaders in the movement
stated that it was not the intention to
select any officers of the club tomorrow
night.
Want Secretaryship.
AS originally planned it was pro-
posed to elect a secretary and place
him on a salary that would justify him
in devoting all his time to looking after
affairs of the organization. This has
been an incentive to bring out several
aspirants for the place, and when i
comes to the selection of that official
quite a contest is looked for. So far
the names of three young men have
been proposed. They are w. R. Pax
ton, Sidney Minkus and E. D. Sayre.
The friends of each are advancing their
claims for the place and considerable
work is being done among the pros
pective members of the club.
| w. D. ONeil who was an active
candidate for the secretaryship lass
week, has pulled out of the race and
| has notified his friends to stop boosting
| for him.
Charles Culp, of the Union Savings
bank, has been mentioned for the
place, but he has announced that he is
not a candidate.
