the board of police commissioners,
was placed on the stand and called
upon to tell why the police board
had entered finding whitewashing
Sullivan in advance of the hearing
by the city council. Armstrong at
first appeared very independent and
asserted his right to disobey the or
der of the council at will, on the
ground that he was serving two
masters-the mayor and the coun-
Gil, and chose to obey the mayor in
preference to the council.
At this point Councilman Schiller
with vigor reminded Armstrong
and Attorney Tustin that the coun-
Gil was superior body to the
mayor, anud that the city council
could remove the mayor If it
deemed 1t necessary.
Armstrong finally admitted that
the verdict whitewashing Sullivan
had been entered on the order of

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 14.-The

will probably be a total loss. This
Is the opinion of the local officers
OF the Alaska Coast Steamship
company today. A message was re-
ceived here last night from Cap
tain Franz Moore, master of the
steamer, saying that there is little
or no hope that the Portland can
be pulled off the rocks. The pas
sengers on board the portland were
landed at Katalla without accident
and will continue their journey to
Seattle on board the steamer Ala

Mayor Pratt, that the findings had
been prepared and signed by the
other two commissioners during his
absence and given out to the news
papers, and that Armstrong had
signed the findings on his return, in
spite of the fact that the date Of
the findings was two or three days
earlier than the date on which Arm
strong signed them.
Councilman Mohr took Assistant
Corporation Counsel Tustin to task
for receiving notes from John T.
Sullivan, after the latter had re-
fused to put up defense. Tustin
said that this was false, and started
in to assail Mohr, when Councilman
Dalke leaped to his feet and gave
Mr.. Tustin a pretty hard trimming
down for about 10 minutes. The
council ordered to be seated, and
there was no more fight in the as
sistant corporation counsel after
that incident.

HOW PRATT RING TRIED TO
WH|TWASH JOHN SULLIVAN

During the Sullivan trial, Satur-
day afternoon, while the question of
the effort of the city administration
to shield Sullivan was under official
investigation, Attorney F. c. Rob-
ertson referred to Mayor Pratt as
that scoundrel." He alluded to
Pratt's statements that everything
was clean in Sullivan's police rule,
and the fact that Pratt had decried
and made harsh remarks about peo.
pie who were trying to ventilate
police conditions, and then showed
what really had existed under the
Sullivan-Pratt regime. 1t was in the
heat of the argument over this
phase of the case that Robertson
poured hot shot into the mayor and
used the epithet above, mentioned.
The effort on the part of Mayor
Pratt to shield Sullivan was laid
bare Saturday afternoon, when
