WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 2S.
AT S:07 O'Clock this morning,
when the senate had been in con-
tinuous session for 20 hours, it
took a recess until IL o'clock, af-
ter an appeal by Senator Bailey.
Senator Crawford spoke nearly
all night Senator Bristow re-
lieved him at 6:50 o'clock this
morning and held the floor until
the recess was taken. Crawford
spoke for two hours yesterday
and for eight hours last night.
Every indication today points
to the probability that the filbbus-
ter to prevent a vote on the Lori
mer matter will break all records
by continuing until the adjourn-
ment at noon on Saturday. Sena-
tors Cummins, Crawford, Bristow,
owen, Stone, LaFollette and Bev4
eridge are leading the filibusteft
and are expected to speak con-
tinuously to prevent what they
claim would be "whitewash'
vote, acquitting Lorimer of corr
ruption.
Senator Crawford discussed
both the Lorimer case and the
reciprocity issue for eight hours
and five minutes, maintaining
the most energetic de-
livery.

lMunici pal Dock
Opens Tonight

This is Municipal Dock Day in
Tacoma.
The handsome new steamer
Sioux, which is to start on the
Seattle-Tacoma run tomorrow, all
afternoon has been lying at the
new municipal dock, open to the
public, and this evening, from
6:30 until 10:30, the Indianapolis
will be there.
Tomorrow morning these two
boats will begin doing business
from the city dock. With them
will be the Olympia, Vashon Is
land and other boats and the new
municipal enterprise starts off
with every prospect of making a
record.
The people who visited the new
city dock today were surprised by
the attractiveness of the place.
Few had any idea such an attrac-
tive dock could be constructed out
of the old warehouse.
About $4,000 has been put in
to it for improvements and the Ia
coma Municipal Dock, the first
city dock on the Pacific coast, is
the finest as we'll as the first.
Tonight the dock will be Off
cially opened.
Mayor Fawcett, who launched
the municipal dock campaign last
June in letter to the city coun-
Gil urging it to take steps to do
what has now been done, will be
one of the speakers. Joshua Green,
head of the Puget Sound Naviga-
tion company, whose boats will
run from the dock, Rev. w. A.
Moore, Walter j. Thompson and
possibly others will speak in the

meeting at o'clock. ss
Miller's band has been engaged
for music and the public will be
treated to refreshments on board
the Sioux and Indianapolis all af-
ternoon and evening.
The opening of this municipal
enterprise is expected to be but
the beginning of the acquisition of
the waterfront by this city and
already the city officials are look
ing forward to the time when the
city holdings will be extended
northward to the present Flyer
dock.
The new dock is located at the
west end of the Eleventh street
bridge.

Taxpayer "Gets His"
After Mixing Into the
Torgy Peterson Crowd.
Warning for Taxpoy-
ers to "Be Good"

H. c. Christey, one of the COM
mon people, is out of a job. He
helped expose the Peterson
Mounts regime at the court house
and they have thrown him out of
work, and will try to shut off his
bread and starve him into silence.
But Christey says he cannot be
brfbed to silence even by a good
job or full stomach and he is
out in the great army of unem-
ployed, poor, but still patriot.
Christey had a contract to take
out polls for the E. C. Wilbur
company from land owned by the
Monarch Timber company, of
which Henry Royce is president.
Royce is the man whom w. H.
Stidham prevented from getting
a private road built to his place
after Commissioner Peterson had
promised it for political support.
He built 1t to Stidham's place and
spent couple of thousand dollars
to benefit Royce and then Std
ham went to court and stopped
it.
When Christey hit Mounts and
Peterson therefore he was hitting
the men who were close to Royce
in the county deal.
Mounts has been busy up the
road with Royce and other men
lately. And the other day Royce
called on Wilbur. 1t was put up
to Wilbur that Christey must be
bounced. Either that or Wilbur
must give up his stumpage on the
Royce lands.
So He is Out.
So Christey is out.
Wilbur is satisfied with Chris
tey's work. Even Royce says ne
is all right. But Mounts and
Peterson want him to be starved
to silence so he is out of his Job.
1t was Christey who with Muir
ray and Olds signed the charges
against Mounts. 1t was he VINO
went out in the raw winter and
got the affidavits that clinched the
charges and compelled Mounts to
admit he was double crossing the
taxpayers, taking pay twice for
work, charging UP work never
done and other irregularities.
1t was a serious offense against
the rules of the game as played
by the court house gang and so
Christey must be punished.
And the bread is shut off from
him to starve him to silence.
Murray and Olds, the other men
who filed the charges, are we'll off
and cannot be hurt, but Christey
is a laboring man. He is Just a
worker in the daily struggle for
bread and the gang has hit where
they thought he was weak.
But they don't stifie. the truth
that way in this instance.
1t Is the old method of POLITICAL
rings and corporations TO quell
opposition, but Christey is not to
be quieted with job nor bought
off with full stomach.
1t may make it hard for that
little family of his down at 373SI
Thompson avenue but they are
going to fight it through.
