The people of Seattle are fully emolved n to co-operate with sed to the importance of the matter and scores of them have already spoken through the Star, giv- ing their opinions that a gigantic celebration should be held. Today the members of the school board and the teachers are making themscives heard and in interviews elsewhere published, lend their en- thusiastic indorsement to the plans proposed. Just as soon as the matter takes definite shape and the commit~- tees are organized for work, the school children of the city will do their part. Every boy and girl in Seattle will be ready and willing to con- tribute. It is a a) undertaking and one whieh will stir the Patriotism of Seattle in a way that It has never been stirred before.

MAY 2, 1899, EXTENT OF THE FRAUD Counterfeiters Net- ted $400,000 PROM BOGUS REVENUE STAMPS PHILADELPHIA, May 2.-—Secret service men now estimate that all of $400,000 worth of fraudulent rev enue stamps were used by Jacobs and Kendig, the tobacco manufac- |turers under arrest for complicity in the great counterfeiting scheme. The books of the Jacobs factory, so far examined, already show, by differ- ence between the number of cigars manufactured and the number re- ported to the revenue office, that the government has lost $125,000 by the transactions tn this factory alone. The annual output of Jacobs’ fac- tory wae 23,000,000 cigars, and of | Kendig’s factory 100,000. During the four and @ half years during which the counterfeit stamps were used Most exclusively the number of ct- gare manufactured exceeded 105,000,- 000, Allowing 1,000,000 stamped with genuine stamps it required 2,000,000 egg stamps before the product could wold. ‘The internal revenue on manufac- tured cigars in $3.60 « thousand. On ‘the 2,000,000 “W)”" boxes the revenue would have been $360,000. The cost of payer, ink and plates for printing the bogus stamps was comparative- iy i. Im addition to this large usage of the counterfeit stamps, tt ia the Belief of the revenue officials and the secret service men that oth- er manufacturers may have been in collusion with Jacobs and Kendig and may have bought their stamps. KINGSTON ~~ DISASTER ‘The investigation of the Kingston- Menogic disaster was continued to- @ay in the office of the United States Tnapectors of Steam Vessels. The first witness called was M. Nolvie, quartermaster of the Kingston. He stated that he went on watch at 12 o'clock Saturday night, and was at the wheel when the collision oc- curred. His testimony was of little importance, and no new points were brought out. During the cross-ex- amination by Attorney Ashton, counsel for the Glenogle, Nolvig be- came confused and made a stat ment that In obedience to an order from Captain Brandow, he put the wheel hard a-port at the moment the Glenogle was seen from the pilot house, and a@ collision wae unavoid- able. Cross-examined on this point he retracted his statement by saying that he was certain that he wi given the order to put his helm hard starboard instead of port. He then ensed his helm by releasing the wheel, and the next moment the crash came. He stated that the lights of the Glenogle were visible for about two seconds before the ver- sels came together, Guy D. Shalion, one of the night watchmen of the Kingston, was the next witness called. He testified that he went on duty at 6 o'clock Gaturday evening, his place being on the main deck. He stated that at the time of the collision he was fn the mess-room of the steamer, He could hear the sound of the Kingston's whistle when the signals were blown, but knew nothing of the proximity of the Glenogle until the crash came. Captain Kitchen, of the Glenogle was then asked a few questions by Captain Bryant, Captain Kitchen stating that at the time of the col- Maton Captain Gatter, himeeif, and the third officer were on the bridge. The testimony which followed was practicaly siimilar to that offered in the first investigation ‘The chief engineer, William Ken- sey, of the Kingston, then took the stand and said he was below near his post when the crash came, As he knew nothing of what transpired outside, his testimony was unim- portant. The investigation was continued throughout this afternoon and will also be on tomorrow. Detectives Powers and Corbett raided a Chinese gambling game this afternoon In the Wa Chong building Over $100 in money was secured, and ten Chinamen were taken to head quarters Customs inepectors Delaney and Loftus seized seven kegs of whisky on the steamer Farallon Sunday morning, after a hard search, The whisky had been put near the bot tom of the coal bunke-s, and when the coal was loaded the kegs were The two officers worked they found Who smuggled the is still unknown covered the whisky whisky on boar see A meeting of the Alaska Steam- ship asosciation will bel held tomor, row at Victoria, and {t will be at- tended by representatives of the several local Alaska compantes eee Lorens J.
