Finest Stock in West
Being Sacrificed

We have long held the reputation
of carrying the largest and finest
stock of high grade pianos in the
west and we can reduce our display
by one half and still make splen-
did showing.
This is just what we have been
forced to do before moving to tenn
porary quarters at 416-420 Sprague
avenue. The space there will not
permit us to carry so many of a
kind.
The object of this Removal Sale
is not merely to close out odd stock
and used pianos. but we want to
reduce the stock of each of our
many makes.
You have choice of the worlds
finest pianos; many new, up-to-
date styles; instruments that at
any ordinary time would bring 800
to $240 more money than we now
ask.
If you can spare but IS a month
come in. We can sell you a piano
and at IS, 81, IS, $40 a month we
give you an endless variety of
styles.
We have some magnificent art
styles in Gabler, Crown, Nelson
and others at almost one-half their
real value.
Take advantage of this opportun-
ity. 1t may never come again.
If you can't call, write at once.

Why has Acting Chief Of Police
John r. Sullivan reduced NJ. v.
Pitts from the rank Of desk officer
to that Of patrolman?
Pitts is now walking q lonely beat
In the Mantle district, where he
has ample time to reflect on the
force Of the question, "Does It pay
to be an honest policeman"
While Sullivan will not admit Il,
Pitts offense is that he had knowI'
edge Of the peculiar transaction In
which eight envelopes containing
bond money, supposed to remain
sealed until produced In the police
court, were torn open by order Of
the chief and SITS removed there.
from and given to the chief.
Sullivan says he gave the money
to the Chinese, who did NOT want to
appear and answer the charges
filed against them under the laws
Of the state Of Washington.
The chief blames Officer Pitts
for the publications in The Press.
but the writer of the articles had
never met Pitts and knew nothing
about him personally beyond the
fact that he has the reputation of
being an honest man. In blaming
Pitts for the publication of the
story in The Press, Chief Sullivan
is proceeding on the wrong tack.
Pitts did not give the information
and steadfastly refused to divulge
a word about the incident, which
he felt was a serious reflection on
the head of the department.
Now that the matter has come
out. through other sources, Sullivan
seeks to make Pitts the Dreyfus of
the police department In order to
protect his own hide. 1t is like
Ballinger firing CLAWS, but the
CLAWS in this case has not yet
talked and, in fact, has tried to
keep the matter from reaching the
newspapers, for the good of the de-
partment, which already labored
under trouble enough.
Pitts has not talked too much, as
charged by Sullivan, in an inter-
view; in fact, he has not talked at
all. But he will talk at the right
time, when the matter is officially
probed, either by grand jury or an
investigation by the city council.
In the meantime Chief Sullivan
will find Pitts one Of the most
dutiful men on the force. He will
take orders willingly, chase over
the rocks of Mantle or the gravel
flats Of Union Park, and be a good
officer. In this way Mr.. Pitts will
probably defeat the. intention Of
Sullivan to drive him from the po-
lice force as punishment for the
leak as to the Chinese bond irreg-
ularity.
If the Chinese bond money was
not stolen, then why all of this ex-
element over 1t among the high
officials Of the police department.

TAFT PAYING FIDDLER

TAFT PAYING FIDDLER
Still President Taft is sticking to
Ballinger. To get Ballinger into
his cabinet in the first place, Pres
ident Taft had to risk break with
his predecessor, who had nominated
and elected him.
Former Secretary Garfield was a
Roosevelt protege, and the lion
hunter made no secret of his desire
TO see President Taft retain the
Ohio man.
The Ballinger inquiry has made
1t plain, of course, what wires were
pulled to land Ballinger. The Gug-
genheim-M Morgan forces were inter-
ested. The water power trust took
4 hand. Coal grabbers in Alaska
werei n on the game.
The President, however, was en-
thusiastic over his whole cabinet
when CLAWS, a boy of &c, as he
looked to the president, made his
charges. These were preceded by
the alarm raised by the conserva-
uonists over the first effort of Bal
finger to upset the Roosevelt poll
cy.
In view of the Kerby revelations
and Taft's own admissions, 1t is
plain now that the president dis
missed the CLAWS charges with a
snap of his fingers. They made him
Just plain mad, and the judicial
temperament failed to work. More
over, they hit the middle of his va
cation, and he was playing golf.
1t was right there that the policy
of keeping secrets from the public
began, the policy by which the ad-
ministration has succeeded in up
setting itself in the Ballinger bust
ness.
The whole effort of the admins
tration from the first was to-
ward suppression; putting on the
muffler. Right then there was no
conception of what was being muf-
fled, and a large part of the pub
lie was willing to take President
Taft's word for it, that everything
was o. X.
Was he not a judicial president?
Another section of the public,
though, showed suspicion. This ir-
ritated Taft and he made procla-
nations, in effect, commanding his
loyal subjects to take his word for

Officer Pitts, Reduced to the Ranks,
Accepts Fate---Day Of Reckon

-
Why was The Press refused per
mission to examine the books when
1t called at the police department
to 80 over the records in the case.
The daily blotter at the police sta
ton and the police cash book are
supposed to be public property,
open to inspection by any citizen,
yet Chief of Detectives Martin
Burns denied The Press the riyht
to inquire into them. Why w4s
this?
The opening Of eight sealed en-
velopes and the removal therefrom
of $50 from three envelopes and s.
each from five others was an I'M
usual proceeding. Since the money
belonged to one bondsman, why the
necessity Of "slicing down" the
contents of each individual envel-
ope? Detective Burns said no
wanted the money "for the chief"

The Rev. Wallace M. Short, pas
tor of the First Congregational
church, one of the largest and most
arisotcratic churches of Sioux City,
Iowa has caused a sensation by re-
fusing to take part in joint pro-

hurt over these suspicious.
Finally, when his opponents were
bound to force it If he did not, the
president asked congress to invest
igate.
Then the game was rugged for a
whitewashing, and 1t remains
rugged today for that matter.
The majority of the Ballingef
committee has the verdict settled
for another generation. But step
by step few newspapers, with
Brandeis, digging at the committee,
have forced complete exposure.
Today the public knows Ballinger
for the champion of the Guggen-
helm Morgan syndicate, foisted on
the administration.
