SPlJRNS
POLICE
Grand Jury Hears
of Alleged Effort
of Officers to Col
lect "Protection"

Information that Mrs. Ora
Racine, a widow and former
owner of the Tama hotel,
Third ave-, near Union, had
been driven out of the hotel
business in Seattle by perse-
cutions Of Seattle police to
make room for an institution
that would pay large sums
of protection" money to po-
lice grafters was laid before
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
E. D. Colvin and the King
county grand jury Wednes-
day.
Mrs. Racine. Colyin was told. was
Informed by tho sergeant Of police
patroIling the beat that she can
not make the hotel pay running
on a legitimate basis' and that
she would be run out Of town."
After spending large sums In re-
modelling. refinishing and redecorat-
ing the building and in advertising
Il. she finally was forced to sell out.
Colvin was told.
The instance was only one OF
many tending TO show that police
graft and corruption are Infringing
upon legitimate business enterprises
OF the city and forcing people who
are attempting TO make an honest
living to leave Seattle or run places
OF. vice and lawlessness.
Another instance reported TO Col
win was the case OF Yakima bust
ness man who came to Seattle and
purchased an apartment house. with
the intention of operating an hon.
est business. When this man ro-
fused to permit liquor to be sold in
the place, he was raided by the po-
lice dry squad and finally bankrupt
ed and his finances ruined.
JURY PROBES
MANY STORIES
The, Tama hotel story. as told by
Mrs. Racine, is one of the most
amazing OF a long list OF stories that
are being probed by the jury. Mrs.
Racine came to Seattle from VAN
couver to give her daughter. an ac-
complished musician and dancer. the
advantages OF education at the Cor
nish school.
She purchased the hotel from A.
r.. Forcey. who had operated II with
police permission for several years.
Police dry squad men. armed with
John Doe" warrants, raided tic
place several times. going thru ev-
cry room and turning the contents
upside down in alleged hunts for
liquor. II was charged. Not a sin
gle drop of liquor was obtained by
them from any room. Lodgers were
mysteriously influenced 10 depart
the premises at moments notice.
and prospective patrons were
warned" against the hostelry, ac-
cording TO the story.
After struggling with these condi-
tions for more than six months.
Mrs. Racine was compelled TO sell
her property to the same man who
formerly had occupied Il.
II told the police sergeant that he
finally had forced me out of bust
ness, but made them pay my price"
Mrs. Racine told Colvin's informant.
HE answered that Forcey would
make the purchase price In one
month"
