cant. Morgan apparently broke
over this rule and took the cash
and issued the license. Then he
did not turn in the cash. The ex-
perts and the present clerical
force have found $261 shortage.
The amounts ranged from 81 to
$25.
1t would have been discovered
long ago, but the clerks books
are never checked up. AS the
clerk had given orders that no
money be taken in, he did not
deem it essential to insist on a
check, and the controller never
made any movement to go over the
records in his office.
Morgan was always considered
strictly honest in Tacoma. He
was a prominent Elk and had
many friends. Steps will proba-
bly, be taken by his friends here to
try to pay up the shortage and
secure his release. Whether this
will be allowed or not will be UP
to the courts, as he is now in the
jurisdiction of the criminal court
Morgan's alleged shortage is
the second to be discovered with
in six months at the city hall, the
previous muddle being the case of

FACES A

MADRID, Feb. 9.-Premier
Moret and the entire Spanish cabi-
net resigned today, after an in
cumbency of few months. King
Alphonso has asked Senior Canale-
jas to accept the premiership.
For some time there have been
violent differences between sew
eral branches of the government,
Especially between military and
police organizations and the cabi-
net. These difficulties have de-
|veloped into serious scandals, in
which a large number of arrests
have been made, and so disorgan-
lied affairs so that it was impossi-
BILE to proceed with any fixed pro-
gram.
The present crisis is one of the
most serious that Alphonso has
been compelled to face during the
young kings turbulent reign. The
people are still affected by the
excitement which culminatedE in
the Barcelona riots and the execu-
tion of DR.. Ferrer, the great liber-
alist, when there was much open
talk of revolution.

Don Morgan, formerly assistant
deputy clerk, is in the city jail
today charged with grand larceny
by the embezzlement of 1851 of
city funds while he was in the
city service.
He was arrested on a warrant
sworn out by City Clerk Roys last
evening and brought over from
Seattle, where he has recently
been engaged in the cigar busl-
ness.
Morgan resigned his position
here a year and a half ago to go
into the cigar business in Seattle.
He was always a trusted employe
of the city clerk here before that
time and no breath of suspicion
had ever been directed against
him.

died in the new domestic pin,
which has a small straight bar to
replace the head. 1t is made in
six sizes, the smallest of which
is about one inch in length, and
the largest about two inches. They
are put up in boxes containing
about 100 each.
The new kind is especially use
full in fixing together sheets of
documents or other papers, as it

it prevents man henceforth from
calling his brother a "piphead."

Declaring that he is prepared to
swear that workhouse prisoners
in certain parts of Texas are "let"
to plantations where they exist in
slavery, Lew M. Johnson of this
city is preparing today to go to
Austin, Tex.
Johnson, who is painter,

was sentenced TO 60 days in the
workhouse and then compelled to
work on a plantation. He de-
Iscribed the conditions of himself
and similar prisoners who are said
to be held in peonage, and claimed
that he escaped just in time to
save himself from death.
Il am unable adequately to de-
scribe the indignities, the un-
sanitary conditions of our sleep
ing quarters and the stencil of the
food served us, which we had to
eat or starve," declared Johnson.
Il was put to work digging
bitches. The first day was
dashed across the mouth and ad-
monished to Keep it shut, if l
didn't want to be killed. I saw
men dashed until the blood came
and they were fed like hogs"
The federal grand jury, accord
ing to Johnson, is preparing to
investigate the charges of peonage
and has indicted several officials
in Burleson county.

they made showed conclusively
that~the Traction line is certainly
"operated" and controlled" by
the Stone-Webster interests.

oath that they had been ordered
to take charge of the Traction
