BLETHEN'S CHIMES.

Blethen's Chimes, so far as the student
body is concerned, are still peeling forth dis
cordant sounds, and as soothing as are the
notes Of "Abide With Me-" they fall on
deaf ears as the students wend their way
to the accustomed places of assembling for
the days work Lest dear reader, you
forget, the following letter is one of many
things against Col Blethens general repu-
tation that has prompted the student body
to class him as an undesirable citizen:
Seattle, Wash, Sept. "a, 1910.
My Dear Wapp:-
AS I know that you will stop at Portland
and at the Oregon, am writing you this
letter as a substitute for night telegram l

gram exceeded one hundred words and
therefore was billed to go as "lettergram.
When I found the error this morning l
wired you few words telling you to call
me by telephone in Portland when you ar
rived and this hope you will not fail to do
for the following reasons =
ID Gill had not been out of town forty
eight hours before Wadrall started in to
clean up the town--and he had the help OF
every enemy which Gill and yourself have
made since this present administration took
office
(2) Wardall first notified Bergman to
close his dance hall in the tenderloin district,
as it was a misunderstanding the notice
through Mike Powers and inferring that the
Sheriff would raid that night if the police
didn' and Wardall didn It propose to allow
the Sheriff the opportunity.
(3) They called me by telephone for ad-
vice and promptly laid out plan for them
to pursue, which they followed to the letter
and so far have escaped difficulty.
(4) told them to obey the order OF
Powers without fail unless the Mayor re-
ceded after I had interviewed Hodge and
Hodge had denounced the whole proposition
as a falsehood
(5) When I obtained the latter informa-
ton, however I went after Powers, and he
said his orders were positive from Wardall
and he didn't think the Acting Mayor was
moved by any information from the Sher-
iff's office Therefore the report coming to
me must have been untrue, though Berry
man said Powers had told him.
[ then advised them by all means not to
open up the next morning, but to go before
the Courts and get the hearing, which they
did, Judge Gillian issuing a restraining or
der by demanding that the case be heard to-
day-but the outcome will not be known un-
til this afternoon-and in the meantime they
have opened their house for three consecu-
tive nights, in spite Of Wardall.
I enclose herewith statements made by
WardaIl denouncing you by innuendo, if not
directly, as they will save me writing the
facts-but you should read them carefully.
Yesterday afternoon Brainerd had War
dali in his office and demanded that he re-
move you by appointing Bennett as Chief
of Police, which he promptly refused, alleg
ing that to accept such position would be
to sacrifice his Captaincy and that he would
not do
I think Wardall began to feel little
shaky about his upheaval work, and con-
cluded that Mike Powers would do for a
while, but today Mike Powers has raised
the devil against Wardall and very likely
he may be removed before Gill gets back
Now if you appear in this city any time
before Gill returns, Wardall will remove
you and then your enemies will do all in
their power to keep you out after Gill re-
