Of Pierce streets,
Bakaert was employed by the Burling-

car when he was caught by a coal car
pushed by a switch engine Of which VIII
liam .Christy is engineer,
w. II. Downing, a switchmen, who saw
the car reparer at work, did not notice
the engine on the same track until the
car was almost on the unknowing work

to the assistance of Bakaert, but did not
reach the spot until the workman wat
caught between the two couplers. Bakaert

MAHONEY'S MOTIVE IS PLAIN
Is Simply Trying to Play Politics at
Expense of Judge Leslie,
DID NOT WANT A CONVICTION
democratic Organ Publishes Mis-
leading Statement - English
Says Leslie Could Not DO
Otherwise,

Real motive CT the fraudulent reglstra.
ton agitation started by John ]. Mahoney.
Charles flaming bookkeeper, democratic
candidate for police Judge, became ap-
parent when the democratic organ pub
hshed a misleading report of the trial
OF Albert Anderson for perjury and OF his
discharge by County Judge Leslie, re-
publican candidate for district pudgc.
The purpose was to make the fraudulent
registration cases so weak that Judge
Leslie, as an honest ana fair judge, gov
erned by the statutes and the rules Of
evidence, would have to discharge the
defendants and then to attack him for
failing to hold the defendants.
Under the special statute on fraudulent
registration the state might possibly have
secured convictions, but the complaints
against Anderson and others charge per
jury, that is, false swearing,
a showing that Anderson registered
where he did not live would have been
sufficient to convict him of fraudulent
registration, but to warrant holding An
derson for perjury the state had to show
that he actually took oath and swore
falsely that he lived in a certain precinct
and ward. The registrars were unable to
swear positively that Anderson was
placed under oath at all. There was
nothing for Judge Leslie to do but TO dis
charge the defendant. Had he chosen to
disregard the law in order to play to the
gallery he might have held Anderson for
trial. The democratic organ then could
not have attacked him.
If SO, however, there is absolutely nc
question but that Andersons attorney
would have appealed, and the appeal
would have been sustained in all the
higher courts. County Attorney English
himself admitted Saturday morning that
Judge Leslie's action was the only action
that could be taken in the circumstances
by an honest judge.

SMALL DEALERS PROTESTING
Have Engaged Counsel to Fight o.
cupstion Tax Ordinance.
WOULD DRIVE FROM BUSINESS
Small Coal Dealers Say IL II scheme
on the Part of Big Fellows TO
Break Up business ON
Small Capital.

Asserting that an ordinance passed by
the city council three weeks ago provid-
ing for an occupation tax on dealers In
fuel, hay, ice and grain, who sell less
than carload lots, Is nothing more than
a high-handed attempt to drive the small
dealers out OF business, a number of coal
and feed men banded together and en-
gagged Attorney w. J. Connell TO fight
the ordinance to finish,
The feed and coal men are headed by
j. l. Kemp Of 2512 Leavenworth street
and Mr.. Kemp says that he will suffer
arrest ten times a day rather than to
pay the Occupation tax The ordinance
which has aroused the ire OF the coal
men provides that tax be laid on all
persons forms or corporations engaged
in selling hay, grain or fuel or ice In less
than carload lots and by weight Tho
persons, firms or corporations engaged
and grain are required to pay tax of
$40 per year; those engaged In the build
ing material business are taxed S2Oi Ice
men are taxed SIS and fuel dealers are
also required to pay S25. Violation of the
ordinance is punishable with arrest and
fines not exceeding 500 or less than IS,
and the ordinance is to go into effect
November 1, 1911.
The attorneys who are representing tho
firms who are going TO fight the ordi'
nance state that the clause providing
for punishment is unlawful, and that thu
council has exceeded its authority by
passing such an ordinance. Mr.. Connel
says the whole law is unjust and leaky
and when the matter comes TO head
he expects il to be repealed.
1.-THE man who deals in coal who OPP
crates only one wagon is compelled to
nay a S25 tax, and the man who operates
lfifty or a hundred wagons gets off will
the same amount" said j, /. Kemp. I'll
is unjust, and If 1t is allowed to stand
a number of smaller firms will be sOrely
pinched."
The following are some Of the firms
who are preparing to fight the ordinance
and who have banded together and Sc
