DERBY, England, Jan. 81.
A poison plot against Pre-
mier David Lloyd George and
Arthur Henderson, member
was revealed today i'm the
arraignment at Guildhall of
three women and one man,
charged with conspiracy to
murder"
Crown Prosecutor A. II. Bon
kin, who appeared against the
quartet. declared that poison
plot had been Matching between
Dec. &c and Jan. 80.
1t was also stated that Scot
land Yard and the government
secret service had been working
on the case since Saturday when
the conspiracy was first UNI
earthed.
Three Women Involved.
The four defendants are:
Mrs. Alice Wheeldom.
Miss Harriet Wheeldom, her
daughter.
Mrs. Wilfred Mason, another
daughter.
Albert Mason, a chemist.
Mason is the husband Of one of
Mrs. Wheeldom's daughters and
is one of number of individuals
in England who have sought to
evade military service because of
conscientious scruples" against
war.
The three women are supposed
to be suffragettes.
General Indignation.
Publication of the charges
against the four persons arrested
created an immediate sensation,
coupled with general indignation
that England's man of the hour
should have been the object OF
such plot.
The fact that the chief inspector
of Scotland Yard should have as
sumed personal charge of the case
was regarded as evidence of the
gravity with which it was re-
garded.
Although existence of the plot
was discovered Saturday, no in
formation concerning it became
known to the public until the ar
rests had been made.

Sit Tight;
That's All

There is an ancient tradition among
bankers that publicity in regard to the fail
ure or pending failure of one bank is detrl-
mental to all other banks.
The Times is willing to cOncede there is
some foundation for that feeling. But, on
the other hand, we know oftentimes far more
harm is done through suppressing such
news. An attempt to cover up such events
breeds fear and foreboding
For our part we are going to tell the story
of what is happening in Seattle, just as we
would tell any other news . It is the
safer way-and the more honest to our read
ers.
Seattle is passing through an unpleasant,
regrettable experience. It appears to have
been brought on by the financial incompe-
tence of the managers Of one of the smaller
institutions.
The Seattle failures are due to that purely,
and are all the more homogeneous, coming as
they do in the midst of good times. SEAT
TILE TODAY is AS SOLID AS MT. Ia
COMA; so is THE WHOLE NORTH
WEST.
How far the evil effect will carry only the
next day or so will disclose. The Times
hopes and believes that the larger banks,
backed by the state and national govern
ments, soon will bring about normal condi-
tons.
In any event, this much is certain, as The
Times ascertained by careful inquiry this
forenoon-Tacoma has nothing whatever to
fear
Our banks are not involved in the Seattle
trouble and are in sound condition. All Ia
coma needs do is sit tight until the Seattle
storm passes.

SAINT MAKERS.

A preacher recently said that
newspapers that told the truth,
and the whole truth, can not be
a pecuniary success. The min
lister who will at all times and
under any circumstances tell the
whole truth about his members,
dead or alive, might not occupy
the pulpit more than one Sun
day, and in some cases might find
it convenient to leave town. The
press and the pulpit go hand in
hand with the whitewash brush
and pleasant words, magnifying
little virtues into big ones. The
pulpit, the press and the grave
stone are the great saint-mak-
ing triumvirate.

tied more by being present, re-
suited in the closing of the in
stitution in 1895, with the GUS
tomary criticism that must fol-
low such an act. Knowing some
of the political history of Mr..
Turrell, and the men in St. Paul
and Minneapolis who were placed
under great obligations to him
for political acts and services,
and knowing that his every po-
litical act was Of the strictest
honesty and integrity, the writ
er of this article was appalled,
then, as he wonders now, why
some one or two of these men
did not come to his rescue at a
time when he needed friends,
and when a little assistance
would have but partially repaid
this man for what he accom-
plished for this state and for
them. Ingratitude was at its
Lowest ebb in that period of Mr..
Turrell's career.
The bank was his last bust
ness venture. His home con-
tinued at Redwood Falls up to
the time of his demise, and he
interested himself in various
things to keep his mind en-
ployed. He secured a tract of
land near Ryder, North Dakota,
and there he spent the hay few
er period, he being sufferer
from that trouble. The home on
Ramsey Heights overlooking the
city, was the home he loved,
and overlooked the town where
he had many friends-a few enc
mics, and from its porch he
would often gaze over the city
and review the growth of town
and country. In passing to and
from his farm at Ryder he Wis
tied the capitol, the building
which he assisted by his vote, in
erecting, and while there he
would spend his moments with
the writer in reviewing the past,
and recalling historic events of
| the State. From his mouth there
never went forth an unkind word
of fellowman. His remarks
were charitable, able and occa-
sionally humorous. His own sor-
rows, his own regrets and they
were many-over his career on
earth, were always concealed,
and to me, boy when he was a
man, and a man when he had
passed the four-score period of
life, who knew well so many of
them, his actions called for an
admiration that will always
hold.
