GOLFERS TO BE
THE DEFENDANTS
Unable Now to Make Reply
on Account of the
Alaska Cases.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10-Secretary
Ballinger has placed in the hands of
a New York firm of lawyers the Claws
article advance sheets of Golfers with
instructions to proceed against the
publishers if in their estimation the
charge of libel can be sustained Ball
niger doesn't hesitate to brand the
CLAWS statements as unfounded and
a tissue of falsehoods. He hopes to
be able to bring Golfers before the
courts for what he believes their reck-
less publication of a sensational ar
ticle.
Balinger admits he is considerably
embarrassed at this time 50 far as con-
Germs his ability to issue an adequate
reply to the Glavis article, because of
the fact that he desires particularly to
not in any way affect the Cunningham
hearings which are soon to be held in
Seattle. AS soon as the cabinet is
able to meet with the president, prob
ably next week, the matter will be
taken up and it is possible President
Taft will recommend that a reply be
made Immediately.

Park Drainage is
The Bugbear Now

Members of the street committee and
the city council experienced rev
moments of strained perplexity at
the adjourned meeting held last night,
troduced the question of drainage on
Park street and called for views as to
the best method of remedying the de-
feet against which property owners
are protesting because of the fear
that their cellars will be filled with
water during the winter months.
The drainage of the street, which
was recently improved by macadam'
the contract having been awarded to
Contractor John F'reis, was originally
intended to be cared for by means of
rock sinks" through which water is
permitted to seep below the surface.
Because of the dissatisfaction OF the
property owners, however, a change is
contemplated, and the question before
the city fathers last night was that OF
the advisability of installing COM
plete system of pipe drainage. Coun-
Gilman Whiteman favored the plan OF
draining the water to Mill creek on
the north beginning at Whitman street
and to the spring branch on the south

POLICE ARREST
THREE SUSPECTS

William RYAN, d. f. Jensen and
Clyde Smith, thought to be members
of an organized gang of shady work
ers were arrested by Officers Martin
and Rolf Yesterday, and are occupying
a ce1 in the city Jail pending an
investigation of their cases. Smith
and RYAN have not yet been implicated
definitely with any crooked work, but
the police say they have Jensen IN
charge for the theft of set OF furs
from the barber shop of Frank Yuse In
the Idle Hour building on Fourth
street. Mr.. Yuse called at police head
ouarters this morning and identlfed
the furs which were secured by Of1cer
Martin from a woman in the Idle Hour
building, she having bought them or
Jensen for $25. Mr.. Yuse SAID the
rackage was taken from the snop
while his barber was out for a mo-
ment.
Some time last month set of turs
was shipped to Frank Yuse from
Chicago, and was received ana slsneu

is the latest slogan to be adopted by
the Commercial club, and at the regu-

Those who have interested them
selves in a central railroad station for
the city have made a close study of
the situation, and the annoyance
caused by the switching of Northern
Pacific trains near the Baker school
has served in great measure to give
rise to the belief that changes are to
be made in the location of the station

future. 1T is held that the use of
