is enthusiastically for it---why?

WHY is the Posnteigencer desperately in favor Of
w the Hinky Dnk charter today after the caustic
tacks it made upon it only few weeks ago?
What has caused that paper and others, to
pete someraut Is it because the Special Privilege gang
discovered gold mine in the Hinky Dink thing?

that would be far better for Seattle keep the present

FAKE" STORY
CAUSED ARREST
TELEGRAPH OPERATOR In NEW
YORK GLOBE OFFICE SENT
OUT FALSE NEWS
Asserted Russian Craiser FIiba Had
Been Blown Up With Heavy
Loss of Lives

NEW YORK, Nov. 28-Trapped by
a planted" fake story stating that
the Russian battleship Flba had been
blown up with the loss of about 400
lives" Fl. /. Linder, a telegraph op-
orator in the New York Globe office.
was arrested today on complaint of
the Associated Press.
1t was charged that Linder sent a
fake Associated Press bulletin to the
New York News bureau, a ticker
concern which delivers its service
to other newspapers and press as
sociation offices in New York, but has
no connection of any kind with the
United Press.
The fake story, after being sent out
over the ticker wires in New York,
was picked up by certain news
agencies and circulated throughout
the country. United Press papers
throughout America were protected
from this fake yarn because the Uni
ted Press was not connected with the
deal in any way and carried no refer
ence to the story.
When Linder was arraigned before
House his case was con-
tinued until December l, his bail be-
ing fixed at $4,000.
''I suggest" said the complainant's
attorney, John Clark, that $4,000 is
lot a bit too much BAIL This is a
serious case and it is unique. Linder
nay not be the chief culprit. He has
made very full statement but may
lave more to tell us later"

WILL BREAK UP
PETTY THIEYERY
PROBATE JUDGE MORGAREIDGE
AND PROBATION OFFICER ROY
JOHNSON ON THE TRAIL
Juvenile Offenders VIII be Severely
Dealt With in the Future
Now Pending

The Gang of boys" residing in
Moscow, who have been responsible
for petty depredations, such as
breaking into cellars, entering private
houses and in other ways carrying on
petty thievery, will have dire venge-
ance wreaked upon them in case any
such further depredations are disclosed
in the future. The word has gone out
from Probate Judge Morgareidge and
Probation Officer Roy Johnson, that
such infractions of the law must cease,
and cease promptly, otherwise the Of
tenders on apprehension, will be
summarily dealt with.
A Large Problem
1T is a problem to treat with mat
ters of this class, but we are determin-
ed it shall stop and hereafter none
will be spared who are found guilty
of offenses," declared Judge Morgan
edge today. Parents of juvenile of
tenders must be warned of the danger
attendant on such violations and if
they cannot control their youngsters,
the law must take it's course Some of
the boys who have been brought before
me are on the sure road to the peni-
tentiary if they are not checked be-
fore it is too late"
Youths Before the Court
Judge Morgareidge's remarks were
brought out today in discussing the
bringing before him by Probation Of
ficer Johnson of several youths of
tender age who were charged with
Juvenile delinquency" but who were
accused of petty thievery in fact, the
enormity of the offenses perhaps not
dawning on the youngsters.
Taken Undtr Advisement
Wednesday Judge Morgareidge held
an inquisition in connection with the
cases in which number of boys
we're brought in as witnesses and Of
lenders. Those arrested were Mead
Barnes, NIillard Price, and Dewey |
3lacker The others who had been |
,alled into the inquisition were Percy |
Scott, Holt Cushing, Forest Rowland,
md Iver Rowland. After hearing evi-
lence in the matter the court ordered
Ill the boys to attend school and |
eferred passing judgment until Mon
lay.
incidentally it was learned today
hat a~meeting of city, county, and
chool authorities with business men
f the city would be held today to de-
ermine On some method of copeing
