"WOE BE TO HIM WHO ENTERS HERE"


This is the sign that should be blazoned IN great
letters over that part of the county hospital at George
town which is devoted to tubercuar patients.
A sentence to Georgetown is sentence OF death.
The patients know this The nurses know it. People
don't ever get well there There is but good thing
about the system-it kills men quickly.
THEY DON'T DRAG OUT SO LONG AS THEY
WOULD ANYWHERE ELSE THE COUNTY Is
RID OF THEM SOONER. TO GIVE CREDIT
WHERE CREDIT is DUE, I'LL ADMIT THAT THE
TAGE OF BEING ECONOMICAL.
The tubercular quarters the hospital consist of
two bungalows and two antiquated tents. They are
located along the Duwamish river.
The bungalows about 100 feet from the river.
The tents overhang the river bank.
Everyone in Seattle knows what this means. The
Duwamish is back water stream. The tide rises and
falls leaving the bank bare, now filling up
great river to the very threshold of the tents.
The sewage and dirt and refuse of the tide is
broug up to the very doors of the tuberculosis suf
ferers. II is deposited under the tent to rot and dry
and send a stencil that reaches to heaven.
At night the river damp comes-and the fogs that
choke and chill these sufferers who gasp for breath.
The dampness of the air nvades the fimsy tents and
bungalows, through great open windows and flaring
canvas doors.
OFTEN THE CLOTHING AND BEDS OF THE
SUFFERERS ARE MOIST WITH THIS NIGHT FOG.
IF THERE is ANY BETTER WAY FOR KING
COUNTY TO RID ITSELF OF ITS TUBERCULAR
POOR, lido NOT KNOW OF 1T.
This is not al-perhaps not even the worst.
The sewage pipes from the hospital run under the
ground about 100 feet from the bungalows and
DIRECTLY UNDER THE TENTS.
All the vile, foul refuse of the big hospital is
dumped directly under the dwelling places of these
men who need every help from nature to have any
chance to survive.
Five great pipes extend from the bank. At high
tide they submerged that the refuse floats and
whirls and eddes around the tents At low tide il col
lects the ground with an unbearable stencil

MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY
GETS MERITED PROMOTION
Porto Rican, Barred from Naturaliza-
ton by Birth and Occupation, Is
Given Just Dues in Navy

WASHINGTON Nov. "A man
without country enlisted the synpa-
thy of the navy department, and to-
morrow he will be a chief yeoman in
the United States navy. His promotion
comes of a struggle for American citi-
zenship, waged against innumerable
obstacles.
His name is Diego r. Carrion, a
Porto Rican. once by the courts in
New York and once by the federal
courts in Norfolk, Va, Carrion was re-
fused his first naturalization papers,
because "he had no country 10 re-
rounce," coming from Porto Rico. Fin
ally the department OF commerce and
labor waived the remuneration require
ments.
Recently he was recommended for
promotion in the navy. on account OF
the United States steamship Montana
on which he is serving, moving from
uort to port, he has never been able to
gain a residence and hence obtain full
citizenship. The navy regulations re-
Gently were amended so as to limit pro-
motion to citizens Of the United states.
Under these conditions Carrion was
about to be cheated out of his merited
promotion.
The matter was laid before Assistant
Secretary Winthrop Of the navy, who
ordered that the requirement in the
regulations be waived in the instance of
Carriou.

few important official acts which will
fall to Mayor Mcclellan before his ad-
minstration closes December 81 he
appointed today three women to the
board of education and thereby con-
ceded one of the principal demands OF
woman. suffrage organizations.
1t is the first time in more than a
quarter of a century that women have
gained a representation on the board

ems suffrage ranks tonight, was well
coined as a victory.

ligious faith, are Mrs. Herbert y. Rob-
bins and Miss Olivia LeventIitt, daugh-
ter of State Supreme Court Justice
Leventritt both of New York city, and
Mrs. Alfred S. Post of Flushing. L. /.
Mrs Carrie Chapman Gait, president
of the Worlds Woman Suffrage league

was due to the insistent pressure
brought TO bear upon every recent ad-
ministration by woman's clubs and suf'
fragette organizations.

issued today by Naval Constructor
Holden A. Evans, manager of the Mare
Island navy yard, forbids the public

to be the result of this talk and cal

FOUR HUNDRED FAMILIES
WILL BE GIVEN GARDENS
CHICAGO Association Plans Series oi
Lectures to Prepare Needy Per-
sons for Tilling the Soil

CHICAGO, Nov. 3-Four hundred
needy families are to be put In the way
of raising their own food on vacant
lands in Chicago next summer, accord
ing to the plans of the City Gardens
association.
That the prospective gardeners may
understand how to get the most out OF
their plots of ground when they take
possession, the association will estab-
lish classes in gardening this winter
and furnish instruction by lecture ana
demonstrations. This was the project
announced yesterday by Miss Harriet
Vittum, a leading spirit of the City
Gardens association, in a talk at the
annual meeting of the outdoor Art
league.
1.-The gardens on the land donated by
the International Harvester company
near the Bridewell have been so sue
cessful that next year we hope TO place
400 families on vacant ground in the
west, northwest and southwest parts of
the city" said Miss Vittum.
1--WE intend to have classes during
the winter and teach them as much as
possible about gardening. The returns
on the Harvester tract for the season
Just closed averaged $25 for each plot,
and the expenses were only $6 a gar
den. Ninety-five out of 100 allotments
were worked through the season by
those to whom they were originally al
lotted. All are spoken for for next
years use"

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 3.-Pres-
ident Taft in an address here tonight
again expressed his good will toward
the south.
While doing so an old. gray-bearded
man in the crowd called out, GOD

The president smiled and replied:
THAT reminds me of the old quota

me down stairs?'
But | have no fault to find on that

stood on the question.

shake hands alternately with each one.
A confederate soldier said
"Mr President, you have captured
the secessionists. the Ku Klux and
the cranky Democrats. all of them"
"Well. that's a whole lot" smilingly
replied the president.

JAPAN DRIVES AMERICAN
DEALERS FROM MANCHURlA
Yankee Manufacturers of Cotton Goods
Cannot Compete with orientals,
Says Consul

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.--Japan is
driving American manufacturers of cot
ton goods out of the Manchurian mar
ket, according to a report from Fred
D. Fisher. United States consul at
Newchwang. Since 1905, he says. the
sale Of American cotton goods there has
shown no material increase, while the
japanese products and British articles
have forged ahead steadily in popular
ity.
The trouble seems to be in the meth
cds adopted by American manufactur-
ers In distributing their goods. They
have established their depot in Shang-
hai, from which point all their wares
are distributed.
This method is unsatisfactory to the
small dealers of Manchuria, and the
Japanese and British houses have been
quick TO recognize the situation and
take advantage of it,
Mr.. Fisher urges the necessity of
American exporters sending energetic
agents to Manchuria to push their
goods, at the same time establishing
depots in all Of the larger cities and
towns in which a comprehensive stock
Of cotton goods may be kept.

Theory of Police in Chicago Is That
Suspect Lured Woman to
Murder Her

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-That Mrs. A..
Jansen, who was murdered and whose
body was cremated in a log fire near
Cedonia, Wash. met James A. Logan,
the man under arrest, charged with
the crime through an advertisement
inserted by Logan in one OF the Chi
.cago newspapers over year ago, is
a probability brought out by an in
vestigation among the people who
knew Logan in Chicago.
Logan is said to have been ac-
quainted with number of men along
South Water street to whom he rep
resented himself as a dealer in WASH
ington real estate. In October, 1908,
an advertisement appeared in Chi
cago newspaper calling for house
keeper to go TO Spokane.
This is said to have been Logan s.,
and was answered by Mrs. Jansen.
A search to locate the former resi-
dence of Mrs. Jansen in Chicago failed
