Washington, Feb. 24.-The annual

day by the senate after a prolonged

WORKERS
ARRESTED IN SEATTLE

Seattle Wash, Feb. 24.--After the
arrest of 10 laborers who had been
parading in a continuous line in front
of a tailor shop on Union street
where a strike had been called by the
Industrial Workers of the World, 800
members of the. I. w. w. marched to-
night through the business district to
an open square, where a mass meet
ing was addressed by Joseph Ettor,
the Lawrence strike leader. The.
meeting was orderly and Ettor devoted
his efforts to raising funds for the as
sistance of 10 men and one oma
who are in Jail at Little Falls, N. Y,
awaiting trial for participation in
strike disturbances there.
The crowd was impatient and before
the meeting was over the audience had
dwindled to 100 men. The only ref
erence to the. local tailors' strike was
made by a Seattle agitator, who urged
the crow to support the tailors.

The license tax would, of course,
apply to even the smallest copper pro-
ducjng mine in the state, but as the
total output OF copper from mines
other than those owned by the big
copper combine is only a few hun
dred tons at most, this tax would not
operate to the detriment of but a very
few people.
The kirschWing bill makes it the
duty of the state auditor to provide
blanks for all persons, firms or cor
porations carrying or the business OF
mining in his state with proper
blanks showing the total output of
copper, lead CT zinc in pounds each
month. Each three months the audi
tor must verify from the books OF the
mining companies the statements sen
by them. He is given ample power,
and 1t is made his duty to direct, SUI
]perintend and enforce the collection
of the license tax.
1t is also made the duty of the state
auditor to determine the market pri""
of copper by securing the daily quo
tations on the metal from the New
York Stock exchange, and at the end
of each month striking a general
average price for the months from
these daily quotations,
The penalties provided in the bill
for violations thereof are very severe,
providing for fines if false statements
are made to the auditor, and provid-
ing also that he may go into our

the refusal Of any mining company to
pay the license tax.

The Metal-License Tax

Probably no bin before the present
been tho subject Of more animated dis
ctission than the one introduced by
Representative K~irschwing Of Cascad,
county imposing a license tax upor
the production Of copper, lead anG
zinc.
The license tax provided for is on
a sliding scale, very low when coppei
is low la price. and increasing as the
price Of the metal goes up. When
the price of copper is IL cents or
less. the license tax is one thirty sec
ard of a mill on each pound; when the
price is IL cents per pound the license
is onr-siXtcenth Of a mill; when "a
cents. the license tax is n and one
fourth mills. when IS cents, or moro,
the tax is two and one-half mills per
pound, The tax does not go any
higher regardless of the market price
of copper being above Is cents. The
arrangement therefore is seen to be
automatic.
The following comparative table
shows not only the amount of the
license tax on each ton of copper at
the stated price per pound, but shows
as we'll the percentage the license tax
bears to the selling price of copper

FIEND ATTACKS
A LITTLE GIRL
Mother of Child Sets Trap
and Battles With tho Man
Who Escapes
CHILD NOT HARMED
Runs for Policeman But
Mother Unable 10 Hold As
saIlant UntIl Ne Arrives.

More than ordinary pluck was dis
played by Mrs. Joseph Eickert, of
1877 Fayette street, yesterday after
noon when she captured and battled
with fiendish man who had twice
attempted to assault her ten-year-old
daughter. She alternately held on
and fought with all of her womanly
might but the man broke away and
lied before a policeman had arrived
Her cries and the scuffle caused
much excitement among the six fam
lilies in the three-story tenement
house at 1877 and 189 Fayette street
but the occupants were not aroused
In time to afford aid to the woman.
A detailed search has been made
for the man without avail. The
police marvel at his daring to secret
himself in the second-foor hallway
of the tenement house and remain
there for nearly half an hour with
grim determination to fulfill his
fendish desires. Had he not been 6
man of strong body and good ply
sique as he was, Mrs. Eickert be.
lieves she could have held him cap.
tive until the police responded. AS
it was, she held on with every ounce
Of strength she possessed, working
until blood was drawn from heI
finger tips in vain efforts to land the
wretch in the clutches of the law.
Sent Daughter on Errand.
The Eickert family resides on the
third and uppermost floor of the
house. According to the woman's
story afterwards told to Patrolmar
Dunham, she had sent her ten-year.
old daughter out to make purchase
yesterday afternoon. AS the cir.
reached the darkest portion of the
second floor the man grabbed her and
tried in vain to carry out his inten-
tions. The child was too frightened
to scream and managed to wiggle
away from him. She ran downstairs
and hurried out to do the shopping
When she returned the man was
still in the hallway, but he did no
molest her, except to try and entict
her. She went upstairs and told hel
mother about the experience.
Mrs. Eickert decided at once tha
such f1end should be punished, ant
laid trap to catch him. She in
structed the girl to go downstairs e
second time. Although badly fright
ened the girl obeyed. While the
man was holding the little girl and
talking to her in a coaxing way, Mrs
Eickert slipped quietly downstairs
and surprised him. AS she grabbed
him wild scramble ensued. Both
fought desperately while the gir
hurried after the nearest policeman
She found Patrolman Dunham. Wher
he arrived the prisoner had fed in
the direction of the Central railroad
tracks.
In company with boy who hat
seen the man, Patrolman Dunhan
followed the course he had taken In
vain effort to arrest him. They
trailed him westward to the Centra
tracks and then northward.
