The Call. SEATTLE, Aug. §—Ralph L. Ross, a stamp clerk in the office of the local Dep- uty Collector of Internal Revenue, is short in his accounts to the amount of $4000. Unless the shortage is made good to-mor- row. morning,.of which there. seems no hope, his arrest and prosecution by the Government officers will follow. Ross has held the office for something more than a year. He was sergeant-major of the First Washington Volunters and has an excellent record for service in the Philippines. It was in view of his service and general popularity that he was given the political appoihtment. He now. tells a story ‘that is only partially believed. Freely admitting that he has spent the money he says that he first took a _small amount to pay some debts Incurred in a business venture prior to his appoint- ment. ¥ In the hope of making up this small amount he took more and proceeded to play faro; going; deeper and deeper into the Government’s money, until a few days ago he was confronted by a short- age of nearly A August 1, in accordance with the rules of the officé, he had to deposit the recelpts for July in'a local bank, subject to the order of Collector David M. Dunne of Portland, who has charge of the district. Ross appealed to friends for assistance. On the strength of his, story that he had lost at gambling, a strong effort, backed by considerable political influence, was made to have the principal gambling- heuses of the city make good the{short- age. It was pointed out that Ross’ arrest and the publication of his story would probably result in closing the gambling- houses. The gamblers protested that while Ross had played he always quit a winner, but for a time it was thought they would yield to the demand; in fact, at one time $3000 of the necessary amount was as- sured. Then the minds and decid egn.mblers changed their to leave Ross to his \ fate and trust to their luck against closed houses. Ross’ father, a respected pioneer, but a man of small means, has been endeavor- ing to raise the amount, but it said to- night that he has failed, and Ross wHl probably be arrested to-morrow. i b ik Molders Reject Overtures.

Cobblestones and clubs were used in the melee and the room re- sembled a shamble when a crowd of boys from North Beach appeared on the scene and stopped the brutal work. M. Kozima, a candy maker, was arrested by Detec- tives Reynolds and Whittaker and charged with having injured Suga. The fracas started over a game of bil- llards. Suga won and, it was claimed, by anfair tricks. He attacked Kozima and, the latter ran across Dupont street, pro- cured the iron bar, gathéred up a mob of ‘his friends and returned. While strong arms held Suga with his head downward Kogima is said to have wielded the bar with terrible viclousness. In an instant Kiku's friends interfered and the fighting became general.

They say at the beginning of | the war a party of Basutos and Swazis | offered to help the Boers, but Kruger and | Steyn refused their assistance on-the sole | ground that in the interests of the whites | it was necessary to keep blacks outside the struggle, although the British had | already accepted black help. The British policy of enlisting Kaffirs, Kruger’s coun- | cilors say, is teaching the natives to know their power and is endangering | every lonely farm. It may ultimately re- | sult in a general rising of the' blacks against the whites. The blacks under- stand nothing of the usages of civilized warfare and are used chiefly as spies. | s RAILROAD MEN COME TOGETHER Comment Due to Move- ments of Presidents of Western Lines. ST.
