MOTHER AND
CHILD SAVED
FROM STORM
Terrible Experience for
Sick Mother of Month
Old Baby in Yesterdays
Storm - Their Home,
Two Households, Break
Up Against Shore After
Rescue.

The most pathetic figure In yes.
tcrday's storm at Lake Washington
was Mrs. W, II. Raymond who.
frantic with grief and terror.
watched the house boat containing
her month-old baby and its grand.
mother drifting out into the mid.
die OF the storm.beaten lake, amid
waves that threatened to engulf
the frail craft at any moment.
Her frantic appeals finally In.
duced some men at Leschi TO brave
the terrors OF the storm In tiny
launch and tow the househoat with
its precious burden TO safety.
Mrs. Raymond. who is far from
well. was In her house boat az
Leschi with her nurse; her baby
and her mother being in another
moored farther out In the lake.
When the storm came up the lat.
ter broke from it's mooring
and was soon carried far out from
shore.
Mrs. Raymond. whose husband Is
a theatrical man with Sullivan q
Considine, was Frustrated by the
shock and is still in precarious
condition. Her mother and the
baby suffered no III effects from
the experience.
The house boats, after their oc-
cupants were taken off. were left
at the mercy of the surf. which
soon reduced one to hndling wood
and left the other in dismantled
condition.

DR.. CORSON PUTS
GAG ON INMATES
Head of County Hospital
Gives Order That Pa
tients Must Not Talk
About Institution.

Don't complain 10 those religious
women--tell your troubles TO me"
That Is the order issued recently
by Supt W. II. Corson to the in
mates Of the King county hospital
tubercular ward
Church workers and philanthropic
women who called at the county
hospital recently 10 perform little
services for the unfortunates were
told of Supt Corson's latest order.
They noticed the patients were
backward in talking about the hos
pital. and asked why.
"Corson has given us orders that
we must not talk TO anybody about
the hospital" they said
There ls a Reason.
II Is we'll time to apply the gag
rule" With the public sentiment
aroused over the inhumau treat
ment of the county poor, with ag.
gressive organizations passing reso-
lutions demanding an investigation
by the grand jury. and with that
grand jury itself about TO meet.
DR. Corson and the hospital authori.
ties may well get busy.
The inmates OF the hospital are
grateful for the attentions given
them by the charitable women who
visit them. They have been accus.
toned to talk freely 10 these wom-

been a change.

Any one who has followed the
developments of the case will re-
alize how unjust and absurd are
the present attacks.
The Roosevelt administration
unearthed the frauds and started
the prosecutions, and the Taft ad-
ministration Is continuing the prose-
cutions, applying such administra-
tive measures as necessary To pre-
vent a repetition of the frauds.
The different prosecutions
against the sugar trust may be
divided into three heads and taken
in chronological order are:
First. The prosecution for re-
ceiving rebates; second. the weigh
ing frauds; third. the Earle case
These cases were begun by the
Roosevelt administration nearly
four years ago, when Henry L.
Stimson was appointed federal at
torney for the southern district OF
New York. with especial reference
to the prosecution of these
offenses.
The result was that In seven
months the sugar trust had been
convicted and made to pay over
four times as much as any rebate
fine ever before collected under a
rebate law.
The total fines collected from
the American Sugar Refining COM
pany and subsidiary companies
were Sl6S,000. whereas. the largest
fine ever before collected had been
$4,000
The fine was sufficient in size
TO stop the evil and il established
"a legal precedent without the
amount OF the fine being exagger-
ated TO an extent which might have
provoked a reaction OF sentiment.
The sugar trust. which does
nearly 80 per cent of the railroad
shipping out of New York city. was
effectively throttled so far as re-
batting was concerned.
Since the recent agitation was
raised this one question has been
constantly repeated:
Why were not those people inn
prisoned?
The answer Is simple. At that
period Imprisonment was legally
impossible The Hepburn law.
which restored suspended penalty
imprisonment was passed June 30,
1906, under the Roosevelt admin
istration The facts in the sugar
rebate cases We're brought out pre-
vious TO the passing of this law.
The sugar rebate prosecution began
during the debate of the Hepburn
law and this helped the govern
ment TO pass the measure.
The sugar rebate campaign
ended in December, 1906. The first
