Bates as he stepped off the stand
and flung handful of papers on
the table in melodramatic action.
Townsend, the government at
torney, made no attempt to fasten
the responsibility for the apparent
attempt to bribe Jurors on Bates
or anybody else.
But someone has made a great
effort to influence jurors to inn
peach their own verdict by signing
false affidavits, although / do not
know who they were," said Town
send.
"Milleson will undoubtedly be
brought to this court some time
to explain his reasons for signing
this fictitious affidavit" suggest
ed the government attorney, indi-
eating that this matter was not
ended.
j. f. Terrence, implicated in
the deal by jurors, turned out to
be the Tacoma agent for the Pa
cific Coast Coal company of
which Houston was the manager.
He went on the stand and admit
ted quizzing juorors about the
verdict. but denied he had ever
attempted any bribery. himself.
Following the presentation of
the case by Townsend. the privi-
legged statement of Bates and
plea on technical grounds by Sem
ator Piles, the case went over un-
til this afternoon, when it will be
resumed again.

The city council today ordered
an ordinance drafted which will,
when made effective early next
week, eliminate the loan shark
from the city hall.
This action was finally decided
upon, following the vigorous
campaign waged against the
usurious money lenders by the
Times.
Today the city clerk has on
file seventy assignments for the
month of November from NUM-
cipal employees who are in the
grip of the loan sharks.
The ordinance to be passed
will become effective at once and
it will provide that any employee
who borrows money on an as
signment of salary or wages shall
be forthwith dismissed from the
employment of the city.
This Is the most summary and
only really certain way in which
the law will work to the ultimate
protection of the loan shark VIC

Struck by a motor engine and
run over by the engine and two
cars in the Point Defiance tunnel
yesterday morning, Zoe Benja-
min, aged 35 years, member of
one of the concrete gangs or
ployed by Contractor Nelson Ben

Nothing was known of the ac-
cident until late last night when
the body of the dead man was
brought to the Hoska-BuckIey-

in no way responsible for Benja-

HAS
HIS SAY ON
JURY "BRIBE"
Attorney Bates Testfes to Clear His Client Houston
From Suspicion-On Witness Stand Yesterday
Afternoon Questioned by Federal Prosecutor
Townsend.

Assuming an air of injured in
nocence, Attorney G. O. Bates,
local attorney for C. +. Houston,
one of the convicted men in the
government coal conspiracy case,
took the stand in federal court
yesterday afternoon to vindicate
himself of suspicion cast on him
by the statement attributed to
Juror Samuel Milleson of Sumner
whom other jurors swore had told
them that he was to get money
for swearing to a false affidavit
to try to get Judge Cushman to
give Houston a new trial or let
him off with money fine in
stead of imprisonment.
Bates said Milleson was brought
to his office by w. ID. c. Spike, a
coal man. He said Milleson told
him he felt great injustice had
been done Houston by his con-
viction, that he could not sleep,
that he wanted to do something
to ease his conscience on the mat
ter if he could.
Bates said he asked him how he
came to vote for conviction, and
he said the thing that convinced
him finally was the supplemental
bid put in by Houston for the
Sesnon coal company in 1908.
Bates informed him this bid was
put in in 1907, and Milleson said
If he had known that he never
would have voted for conviction.
When he finished, r. d. Town
send, government attorney, gra-
ciously accepted his statement.
Then he began cross-questioning
him.
"The reason you say Milleson
was racked with remorse at his
vote for conviction was that he
had mistaken the time in which
Houston put in the supplemental
bid ?"asked Townsend.
Bates said it was.
yet you say that Milleson nev-
er knew of his mistaken idea of
the time of this bid until you
demonstrated it to him In your
office, then how did this cause
him to lose sleep and be racked
with regrets when he. did not
know of it until you told him?"
The situation in the courtroom
grew intense. Spectators leaned
forward in eager expectancy.
Bates could not tell.

SEATTLE, Nov. 14.-That
this is an organized attempt to
count him out, is the direct state
ment made today by Ernest Lis
ter, democratic candidate for
governor who, on the face of un-
official returns, appears to have
been elected by narrow margin
over NJ. e. Hay, republican, the
incumbent.
This charge is made following
the activity of members of the
state tax commission and of the
state bureau of accountancy
throughout the state, all of whom
are Hays appointees, in going
over the unofficial returns and
discovering" errors which favor
Hay and continue to reduce Lis
ter's plurality. Last week the
figures indicated Listers cleo
ton by about 1900. Today his
plurality Is decreased to 526, and
Governor Hay himself in state
ment today said that tally kept
by himself shows Listers plur-
ality to date to be only 2S4.
According to the unofficial re-
turns at hand today, Lister re-
ceived 97,136 votes, Hay 96,610,
and Hodge, progressive, 79,S43.
Ten scattered precincts are still
unreported.
Each county Is required to
make it's official canvass tomor-
row.
The official state canvass at
Olympia will not be made until
December 5.
With the country precincts dis
posed of, the ballot counters at
the courthouse are beginning to-
day on the city vote, with but
little promise of finishing before
Monday of next week.
Owing to the heavy vote in the
city this election, the board is
working under a heavy handicap
which will cause a delay greater
than that of any other year.
Up to this time no material
difference with the unofficial
count has been found.

Tacoma i'm the future will have
one of the most up-to-date dog
and cattle pounds there is in the
state,
Mrs. w. II. Rust has offered
the Humane society $4,000 in
cash for the erection of a build
ing and it will be available just
as soon as the city picks the site
for the new structure.
Commissioner Mills and the
council all agree that the new
pound should be erected on the
new municipal farm the city ex-
poets to get in the future. Mills
this morning wanted to know
when the city would hold the
election to get bonds to buy the
farm.
Nothing has been done toward
this yet but all the commission
ers agree the farm must come.
When it does it is proposed to
put the prisoners on it, then es-
tablish the garbage reduction
plant, the dog and cattle pound,
and possibly a tuberculosis hos
pital as well.
The work will be done by the
prisoners and it will be run at
small cost and be a great munich
pal institution.
One of the first buildings to
be erected thereon when the farm
is secured will be the Rust dog
pound. 1t will be of concrete,
perfectly sanitary and will be a

ent quarters.

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

While attending school at Lebanon, Ohio, in 1882, I became afflicted with boils, which lasted for about two years. when the aff1iction assumed the form of an eczema on my face, the lower part of my face being infamed most of the time. There would be water-blisters rise up and open, and wherever the water would touch 1t would burn, and cause another one to rise. After the blister would open, the place would scab over, and would burn and itch so as to be almost un- bearable at times. Ia this way the sores would spread from one place to another, back and forth over the whole of my upper lip and chin, and at times the whole lower part of my face would be solid sore. This con- dit1on continued for four or five years, without getting any better, and in fact got worse all the time, so much so that my wife became alarmed lest 1t prove fatal
 During all this time of boils and eczema, I doctored with the best phy- sicians of this part of the country, but to no avail. Finally I decided to try Cuticura Remedies, which I did, talk ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying the Cuticura Ointment to the sores, and using the Cuticura Soap for wash ing. In a very short time I began to notice improvement, and continued to use the Cuticura Remedies until was we'll again, and have not had a re- currence of the trouble since, which Is over twenty years. I have recom- mended Cuticura Remedies to others ever since, and have great faith in them as remedies for skin diseases" (Signed) A. c. Brandon, Attorney-at- Law, Greenville, O., Jan. IT, 1911.

Plans for Tuberculosis Day.

Sermons on the prevention of con sumption will be preached in thou sands of churches on April 28, which the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has set aside as Tuberculosis day. Last year out of 100000 churches in the United States, over 50,000 observed Tuberculosis day, and millions of churchgoers were told about this dis ease from the pulpit. This year will be the third observation of Tubercu- losis day. Plans are being made to have the gospel of health preached more widely than ever before. The movement will be pushed through the 500 anti-tuberculosis associations al lied with the national association and through the boards of health, women s clubs and other organizations in hun, dreds of cities and towns throughout the country. Through these various bodies the churches will be reached and interested in the tuberculosis cam paign.
