SEATTLE. May 16.-Moved by the
desire to help needy and worthy pris'
oners, William Pigott. philanthroplc
local manufacturer, put up Sooo q
few months ago to aid the down and

only on the security of human nature,

it's disbursement was entirely In the
hands of Justice of the Peace {. Z.
Dalton.
Prisoners brought before the judge
were advanced sum. ging from 81
to $40. The $500 was in due course
drawn on heavily, but only one loan,
for 50. has been repaid. Two other
debtors came back and asked for more
time. but all the others vanished
quickly. The judge and the philan-
thropist, somewhat more cynical. have
suspended disbursements, at least
temporarily.
The advances were confined to pris-
oners released by the court or dis
charged after serving terms in the
county jail.

Judge Dahon recently. 1T looked
like a fine idea, helping the lowly, re-
trieving lost souls and all that sort
of thing. But, hang 1t all, the souls
won't be saved, and so we've got to
