= r OTESTS

Los Angeles, July 21.-The follow
ing telegram of protest against the
riots in Seattle was sent today to
President Wilson by Thos. w. Will
Jams, secretary-treasurer of the Social
list party of California:
Socialism is opposed to violence,
whether practiced by the mob or re-
sorted to by the government to sup
press free speech. The stability of
government is threatened when en-
ployes take license from an intemper-
ate speech of n superior officer and
endanger life and property. over l.
100000 Americans believe in the red
flag. 1t is the international emblem
of peace and brotherhood. To deport
all these will be a herculean task.
The disgraceful scenes in Seattle will
do more to discredit our government
than all the mouthings of irrespon-
sibles.
1--WE urge federal investigation and
ask that you take steps to prevent a
recurrence of this deplorable Incl
dent"
San Diego, July 21.-Accredited
leaders of the Socialist party today
sent the following telegram to Mayor
Cotterin, of Seattle, congratulating
him on his stand during the recent
disturbances in that city:
"The citizens of San Diego in mass
meeting assembled under the auspices
of the Socialist party congratulate
you upon your firm stand against mob
law and a prostituted press that in
cites to riot and bloodshed under the
guise of patriotism"
Milwaukee, Wis, July 21.-Referring
to Secretary Daniels as "jackass,"
Allen Benson, magazine editor, ad-
dressed $4,000 Socialists here at a
picnic yesterday on the Seattle riots.
Benson said:
"This is the first time the Socialists
have been so fortunate as to have their
cause aided by jackass so near the
head of the nation. Daniels wild
speech melted the riot in Seattle,
which has already started a wave of
Indignation throughout the country.
"The democratic party will lose
100000 votes as a result of the Seattle
affair"

TRITE SAYINGS OF THE Sc
ATTLE TIMES.

Alden j. Blethen, colonel and gen.
| tleman. champion of law and order,
vicious opponent of vicious qtterances
on the part of the workers, throws oil
upon the ruifled waters.
A few conservative patriotic"
honor the law" extracts from issues
of our great paper:
"The sailors were entirely orderly
last night with the exception of their
attack on the Reds. Every |. w. W.
Headquarters i'm the city was raided
and wrecked and every anarchist and
H. w. w. who offered resistance was
roughly handled"
anarchy, the grizzly hydra-headed
serpent which Seattle has been forced
to nourish in it's midst by q natural
| lied chief executive for eighteen
months, was plucked from the city and
wiped out in a blaze of patriotism last
might. Hundreds of sailors and artil-
| lleryment who carefully planned the
entire maneuver yesterday morning,
| led the thousands of cheering civilians
to the attack and successfully wrecked
II. w. w. headquarters and Socialist
headquarters in various parts of the
business district"
Fired with patriotic enthusiasm and
armed only with small American flags,
the men in uniform wrecked the /.
w. w. headquarters on Washington
street: demolished the newsstand of
lMillard Price at Fourth avenue and
Pike street; cleaned out the /. w. w.
HEADQUARTERS in the Nestor building
on Westlake avenue; and the Socialist
halls at the Granite hotel, Fifth and
Virginia.; and in an old church at Sew
enth and Olive streets"
Throughout the scene Patrolman
j. L. Crawford reamined one of the
interested spectators"
although the sailors and soldiers
expressed themselves as perfectly
competent to handle these anarchists,
the police held back the mob until the
red flag adherents had clambered
away"
From officers high in command to
the latest enlisted man, it was plainly
evident today that no regret was felt
throughout the Pacific reserve fleet
over the sound trouncing mefed out
last NIGHT to the treasana hleA. -" {
Though strict official regulations
prevented open admissions of opinion,
visitors to the flagship West Virginia
and other vessels of the fleet were af-
forded ample evidence that the blue
Jackets not only rejoiced in the de-
struction of the anarchists headquar-
ters, but were ready, should oppor-
tunity offer, to administer even a Sc
verer lesson"

THE RIOT PROGRAM.
Staged by Seattle Times, Committee
on Program.
Thursday Night,


Several sailors and soldiers were
punished by loggers who congregate
about the corners of Washington and
Occidental avenues, Seattle, for insult
ing a woman speaker who was speak
ing upon woman's rights. This speak
er was neither a member of the So
cialist party or |. w. w.
About this same time, Secretary of
the Navy Daniels was making an i'm
passioned speech to the elite of the
city at the Rainier club, viciously
scoring the red flag and its followers.
1t is said the editor of the Times un-
consciously led Daniels into this error.
Friday Night.
The hoodlum element of the U. S.
soldiers and sailors, numbering about
fifty, as a result of Daniels speech
and because of the beating given sew
eral of them the night before, organ
lied a mob and started to destroy the
property of the l. w. w. and the So
cialist party.
Under full police protection and
upon advice of police officers the
l. w. w. headquarters on Occidental
avenue was sacked, the furniture piled
in the streets and burned.
The mob then went north toward
the Socialist party headquarters at
1909 Fifth avenue. Here they were
met by County Secretary Jos. Golden
and Mary Jervis, secretary of the
Fifth Ward local. These two COM
rades effectually turned away the mob
for the time being. On their way to
1909 Fifth avenue the newsstand of
Millard Price was demolished. ~ e
mob then proceeded to the office of
the |. w. W. in the Nestor building.
Here all furniture and effects We're
thrown out of the window piled in an
empty lot and burned.
From here the mob returned to the
Socialist headquarters, 1909 Fifth ave-
nue., stormed it, wreck all the furni-
ture, typewriter, piano, etc; piled
everything in the street including lit
erature, and burned it. Full police
protection was given the mob.
The mob then proceeded to the
headquarters of the deserting faction
of our party, piled all effect into the
street and set fire to them.
1t then hunted for the place of publ
cation of the paper of the deserting
faction, but was called off by the
owner of the building in which this
printing plant is situated who had
been following the mob advising them
to do a good job at the other places.
1t is said the mob also stopped be-
fore the Union Labor Temple and that
only the presence of a large meeting
of union men inside prevented them
from ransacking it. Many of the riot
ers insisted upon destroying all the
effects of every union and all branches
of the Socialist party i'm the city.

In the interim, there were frequent
conferences between the sheriff's Of

Judge Humphries directed that the

at was shortly before $3.50 o'clock
last night that the sailors and soldiers
made the interiors of the various So
cialist and l. W. w. headquarters look
like a Spanish stew"
For more than one hour after the
court had issued the order for Cot
terill (mayor of Seattle) and his chief
of police and the force in general to
quit their interference with the opera
tion of the regular affairs of this publi-
cation, this discredited, dishonest and
loathed mayor of Seattle lodged and
kept away until complaint was made
for his arrest for contempt of court"
Sheriff Cudhiee was requested by
the editor of the Times and a county
commissioner to swear in 500 deputies
if necessary, to protect the Times in
the publication of it's various issues,
both Saturday and Sunday-the period
in which this would-be cZar attempted
to interdict the publication.
$50, squatting in his little puddle of
self esteem, this foglike thing struck
at the fundamental principal of Ameri-
can liberty-the freedom of the press.
"While undoubtedly the city of Sc
attic is responsible for the loss of the
first edition of the Times on Saturday,
nevertheless, no action will be brought
against the city for damages.
Instead, the moment that Judge
Humphries is through with this in
junction, the Times Printing company
will bring a damage suit against this
loathsome whelp who sits in the office
of the mayor and attempts to destroy
property, in the sum of $25,000.
"And the Times will do this in spite
of the fact that it will probably be il
Illustrating the old adage-"Sue a beg
gar and catch a louse."
"The time has come when this
would-be autocrat and czar should be
deposed from the office of mayor.
"While the Times has been opposed
to the recall law, it believes in it now,
and will help enforce it to the limit.
"The Times calls on the business
men of this city to join with it i'm
mediately to establish headquarters
to formulate charges and inaugurate
"a canvass that will secure not only
the legal number of names for recall
of this wretch, but the Times Will sub
scribe $1,000 to help put the campaign
through.
"The time has come when this city
should be freed from "Cotterillism"-
and all that that odorous word i'm
plies-and do it forthwith!!
LET the law abiding citizens of Sc
attic, who have been handicapped for
more than two years by most
wretched condition of affairs, get rid
of this obstacle of progress-and get
rid of him forthwith !"

Meanwhile the doctors who treated
the bruised and slightly injured mill
tary rOwdies wondered how a man
could possibly die from such insignifi-
cant wounds Inquiry at the military
posts assured the doctors that all
three men We're alive and kicking
This inquiry also revealed the fact
that no Sergeant A. +. Wallace eX-
listed and that the story printed by the
Blethen sheet was a fabrication purely
and simply calculated TO precipitate
another riot and to cast infamy upon
the workingmeu who defended a wom-
an i'm her constitutional rights
The psychological effect of such
story is well understood by the Bleth-
EN- bunch and by all the papers that
printed the story. Even where correc-
tion is made the first impression part
