SAYS THEY ALLOWED
SALOONISTS TO
ESCAPE
Councils FIimsy Excuse for Dropping Case
Against Gender 6 Alder Shown Up By Mayor
Police Did Not Lay Trap to Catch Liquor r1en

Is the city council connivins
with Prosecutor McMurray to pro-
tect law-violating saloonmen?
1t looks SO to the city adminis-
tration.
Mayor Linck insists that Chief
Duley has been making an honest
effort to enforce the Sunday clos
ing law on saloons. Recently his
officers secured evidence and filed
complaints against John Batchi
and Gender & Alder of Puyallup
avenue. The cases were set for
trial In court and the county at
torneys took charge. Gender &
Adler came in and pleaded guilty
to keeping open and selling liquor
and We're fined.
No Witnesses Called.
The prosecutor had failed abso-
lutely to call any witnesses
against Batchi and although his
case was set for trial regularly no
was made to make q
case. When 1t came up the PROS
ecutor allowed 1t to be dismissed
without an effort to get the tes-
timony
Then the Gender & Adler case
was referred to the city council.
Chairman Russell OF the police
and license committee found that
the council had adopted resolu-
tion declaring that anyone keep
Ing open his saloon on Sunday
should have his license revoked.
He recommended the revelation
of the license of Gender &C Adler.
Gender went to several council
men, put up the same old story
about being baneoed into selling
by man who came In represents
ing himself to be sick, and With
out making any investigation to
see whether the story was true or
not, the council took the saloon
keepers word. jumped on the po-
lice department and Wednesday
night gave the saloonkeepers who
had admittd they violated the law
a clean bill of health and told
them to go their way.
Councilmen Weaken.
Lynn, Brand. JAMESON and Glib
lett all repudiated the speeches
they made last year when they
adopted the rule that licenses
should be revoked IL any violated
the Sunday law and turned the
4aw-breaking saloonists free.
Mayor Linck started an investi-
cation. Patrolman Brown was
called In to see about the "sick
man" story. He showed that two
men had gone to Batchfs place
and bought liquor Sunday without
question. But Batchi is presi-

(By United Press Leased Wire.l
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo, July
10.-The Twin City Elks' special
train is reported to have been
wrecked in a head-on collision
with a freight train near Cisco,
Utah, early today and three train
men killed.
None of the passengers on the
special was seriously injured, ac-
cording to the reports received
here.
Reports of the disaster vary,
some saying fifteen passengers
lost their lives. This is denied
by officials of the Denver & Rio
Grande railway, who say that no
passengers were hurt.
Three trainmen are acknowl-
edged by the officials to be miss

are buried under the wreckage.
Details of the disaster are mea-
ger, all wires being down most of
the time and working but inter-

POLITICIANS WOULD
PUT CITY UNDER
SPOILS SYSTEM
OLD CLAMOR RAISED AGAINST "CIvIL SERVICE" WHICH
KEEPS WARDHEELERS OUT JOBS-CHARTER
COMMITTEE UNDECIDED.

Civil service for city employees
is hanging in the balance before
the new charter committee, with
Commissioner McGregor fighting
like grim death to eliminate the
last vestige of civil service, and
turn the city back to the old spoils
system.
McGregor is being groomed to
run for place under the new
commission form of government,
and he wants If elected to be free
to hire and fire whom he pleases
He told the committee his expert
ence with the present civil SER
vice had taught him the folly of
all civil service.
Chairman Hendley of the civil
service subcommittee last night
reported a plan for a civil SER
vice commission of three to exam.
Inc all applicants for jobs ano
make all appointments.
O. G. Ellis led the battle In
favor of civil service. He said IL
was necessary to eliminate poli-
tics. With the spoils system, he
said. candidates for council and
mayor would be besieged with ap-
plicants for jobs, and It would be
matter of bargain and sale,
promises of Jobs for promises of
votes. Incapable politicians who
want to build up a machine coule
get what they wanted, and the eff
ficiency of the service would be
killed IL candidates were allowed
to thus barter jobs for support.
The whole thing was finally
laid over until the next meeting
1t does not provide for civil SER
vice for the heads of departments.
This may be added later as advo-
atcs of civil service declare it
more important to have an expe-
rienced and efficient head of a de-
partment than mere under clerks.
If the candidates are allowed to
apoint the heads of departments
they will have the same clamor
for the jobs by the politicians.
The committee revised its for
mer prohibition of free transpor-
tation to city employees with a
view of allowing street car tick
cts to be furnished by the com
panies for city business. il pro-
yided for in the franchise. It is
a question whether this meets the
case yet. The T. r.. q p. has not
provision In its franchise for the
free tickets, but 1t furnishes
them. II IL did not. 1t would cost
the city nearly half q million tloa-
lars TO buy them before its fl,an-
chise runs out.

81 AYE IS
STILL At
LARGE
ITALIAN SUSPECT BELIEVED
TO BE IN HIDING NEAR
SCENE OF CRIME-VICTIM
BURIED TODAY.

That the slayer of Mrs. George
Bronco is still in Wilkeson or one
of the neighboring mining towns
is the opinion of Deputy Sheriff
Hunt who has been at the scene
of the crime since early Friday
morning. No trace of the Ital-
ian miner who is suspected has
yet been found. but Hunt has not
given up hope of his capture, as
every officer In the western part
of the state has a good description
of the man.
The Italian may have succeeded
in getting out of the country by
boarding a freight train but the
general opinion is that he is In
hiding somewhere in this section.
The fact that the McDermott
bloodhounds trailed the suspect to
the railroad track at South
Prairie leads to the belief that
the man may have boarded train
there but as the dogs lost the trail
once before they reached this
point some in the posses don't put
much faith in the hounds.
The funeral of Mrs. Bronco, the
Italians victim, was held at
Wilkeson this morning and near
ly the whole town turned out tp
attend the services.
