"AT TWO O'CLOCK"

eve will have judge here at o'clock" was
the remark made by Mr.. Howe counsel for the T. r.
p. company, Monday afternoon when County
Treasurer Meath had decided to stop the cempanys
cars because of interest on taxes not paid
Judge Donworth came over from Seattle pre-
dcted by Mr. Howe and restraining order was
granted by the court which allowed the company,
temporarily at least to its and thereby keep
on earning money. Next Monday is the time set for
hearing plea to make the order permanent.
When Judge Donworth heard of the remark
made by Mr.. Howe he may have experienced
sation of regret. 1t would appear that the usual
shrewdness shown by corporation attorneys slipped
cog when Mr.. Howe dropped the remark, "We will
have judge here at o'clock.
Judge Donworth himself probably realized that
such remark coming from such quarters would
leave bad taste in the public mouth. 1t would in
deed sound surprising if everyday citizen, inter
fered with because of no payment of taxes, should
make the remark, II will have judge here at
O'clock" Yet he would have much right as the
most powerful corporation in the country to do so.
When do we hear of an everyday citizen declaring
himself in such manner?
Mr. Howes remark was unfortunate in that it
left room for the impression that the company was
imbued with too much confidence in the fact that a
judge would soon be at hand.
There is an impression that Judge Donworth was
not treated altogether fairly in the remark made by
Counsel Howe.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. T.
That a ring of Chinese and Amer
lean girl slave smugglers netted
an average of $40, 900, with the
arrival of every liner bringing a
consignment of the slaves in its
hold. was learned today through
authoritative sources. Violation
of the immigration laws from the
smuggling of Chinese, male and
female, revealed by the abhorrent
found to exist when
government agents raided the
liner Manchuria on its arrival
from the Orient, Is expected to re-
suit in the conviction of several
members of the ring, through i'm
plication by alleged members of
the gang now under surveillance
by federal officials.
The authorities refuse to reveal
the names of the men suspected,
and the movements OF the govern
ment operatives are being masked
with secrecy until evidence
against the suspects Is complete.
The work of secret service agents
already had revealed the exist
ence of regularly organized as
sociation of white men and Chi
nese here and at Hongkong, 1t is
alleged.
The traffic primarily Is in
coolies into the United
States. For this there Is a fee
ranging from $500 TO 81 900, ac-
cording to the availability of an
alibi. The secondary and more
profitable activity of the band is
centered. however, in supplying
the "gai" or "gay-yuen" houses
OF Chinatown In the different
cities of the United States. Prices

After a week from Monday Ia

a whirl this morning. Fawcett,

speech against the ordinance. His
plea was for the saloon outright.
He said II this ordinance passed
it would put 100 saloons out OF
business. The city would be up

he said.
Further, he declared the great
est nations on earth drink the

that to decrease the drinking of
booze meant to curtail the intel-
lectual power of the country.

INSURGENTS TO CONFER
REGARDING. JUSTICES

the insurgents to have a voice in
the selection means, according to
the politicians, not only that he
wishes to. unite all factions of the
party, but. that he recognizes the
strength of the Insurgents and de-
sires to avoid a clash in the SEN
ate, especially over the question
of appointments. 1t is Thought
that the insurgents will exercise
a vital influence in naming the
justices.
Z The program on which the in
.surgents are said to have fixed,
Is the elevation of Charles E..
Hughes to the chief justiceship
and the appointment of George
Pepper, who was counsel for Gif-
ford Pinchot before the congress

F. depot ordinance which relives
the railway from building the Fly

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. Z
Absolutely generating Secre-
tary R. A. Ballinger, of the I'M
terror department, from the
charges that resulted In a con-
gressional investigation, the ma
jority report of the Ballinger-
Pinchot investigation committee,
was presented to congress at noon
today.
The findings of the committee
are summed up as follows:
That Secretary Ballimger is not
an enemy of nor Is he hostile to
a reasonable Judicial policy of
conservation, and that no ground
whatever has been shown justify
ing the opinion that he is an un-
faithful and inefficient public of
ficer.
The summary of the committee
says in part:
"The evidence presented relat-
ed mainly to the charges against
Secretary Ballinger and only inci-
dentally was the conduct of other
officials questioned.
Too Suspicious.
"The charges are chiefly from
two sourees-Louis r. CLAWS and
Clifford Pinchot. They apparent
dy originated from strong animos-
fly resulting from a supposed diff
ference of policy respecting CON-
servation.
"The accusers naturally had
this policy deeply at heart and
evidently were disposed TO take
the most unfavorable view of the
character and motives of anyone
opposing them.
'Thus they regarded Ballinger
with suspicion and regarded his
most natural and most innocent
acts, occurring in the ordinary
course of the administration of
the department, as furnishing evil
dence of some sinister purpose. T"
