Consul in quired, “I am a fairly agtle youth myself and have always been in terested in the game of boxing That's why I like rowllng. I can't stand for grand opera, but I do Uke waffles.” This was a rather mixed up line of dope, but Consul was earnest that I listened attentively “Say,” said Consul, as he care lessly tilted his chair and assumed the great American prerogative of elevating his feet to a plane slight ly above his head, “my dad wanted me to be an acrobat but not for me. All of my people are acrobats and it seems to me that the trade ts too common. My ancestors, I'm told, were humdingers as aerial acro bats.

If Mr. Boutlion’s charge ts true, we should demand his rein statement, and count on me for one to du all I can to that end Furthermore, shall we citizens and taxpayers of Seattle stand idly by and permit the mayor to oust man that does his duty? Yours for clean government, J. G, JONSON Accept my your fight Here's a Writer Who Does Not Want His Name Used. Editor Seattle Star: Permit me to say “thank you” for your article in inst evening's Star hended ‘Boullion May Be Next Mayor.” I see that this mornig’s P.1 comes out with ite whitewash in the interests of Mr. Miller, but does not trouble itself to be very spe. cific in regard to Bouillon’s offictal cord, Had it given us a complete record of his official acts I think it would have taken more whitewash than the P.4. has in stock to make Mayor Miller look the proper color. I for one would be glad of the scheme to try the “recall” on Miller right now, but have no idea how/ many (or few) other voters in the city are likeminded RESTORE BOUILLON itor The Star: The writer be lieves that the taxpayers of this | do not want Mr. Bouillon to] resign. | He has been the chief guardian | of the people's rights, From his enemies’ standpoint his chief fault has been his honesty and zeal in the people's cause. This is a crime in politics. It is by the torpidity of the taxpayer that the rampant greed of the spoileman thrives. That is why we need a man in flexibly honest and eternally awake to the wiles but dead to the smiles of self-serving graft We believe that The Star is un purchaseable and is true to the people who carr? the burden of taxation and will stand by them during this impending calamity, How many men in office today THE BOULEVARD * BANK CLEARINGS, * * Seattle. * * Clearings today . .$2,133,9 * *® Balances ....+++. 210,444.10 & * Tacoma. & * Clearings today . .$1,003,783.00 * * Balances 155,502.00 * * * lw Clearings today ..$1,395,065.00 & j® Balances eee 154,088.00 & POOR OOO Ath & Pike OT $30,000 IN GRAFT, STORY OF EX-CITY EMPLOYE (Concluded.) the right man on the right job. }pects that the public may be pro- | satere of a “SADDER BUT WISER Man Cannot Down Desire! for Liquor, So Unique Story Develops in Prose- cutor’s Office. “I want you to send my father back to the penitentiary,” sobbed a. heartbroken girl to Deputy {Prosecutor John H rry yester day She leaned heavily on his evidently on the verge of col The girl was Stella Cornwall, of 414 Kaet Lynn ot., and her father is George Cornwall, a Walla Walia convict, on parole.

Among men who lost their lives in this explosion there were none more popular or better known, not jonly on Vancouver Island, but also in sporting circles on the mainiand, than Tom O'Connell, the star full- back of the Ladysmith football team. His body was among the five found when the rescuers managed to penetrate past the two-mile mark on No. 2 slope. Giant Greek Dead. Alex Milos, a giant Greek with the frame and muscles of a Her- cules, was the last of the original quintet of bodies rescued. He had been terribly mangled and burned | by the explosion, but his phenom- }enal physique enabled him to press jon until exhausted nature finally | gave way, and the after-damp over- took him. With the exception of {the one body, the head and torso jof which were so badly mangled as to be still unidentified at a late hour last night, Milos’ body was the most shockingly mangled of the | lot. The big fellow was well known around the mines, owing to jhis feats of strength, and stron; men gathered around the tunn mouth shuddered and shed tears *;| when his body was brought out.
