The consul cabled the state de- partment that he had visited Pitt man, discovered the revolting eon: ditions and forced President Madris to furnish better accommodations for Pittman. Pittman, whose relatives live at Cambridge, Mass, told Oltvares that he had left Greytown July 4, and that since then bis captors had failed to give him an ounce of food, leaving him dependent on charity, He was starving Another report from Bluefielde says that Dr. Clarence Burgheim, of Houston, Texas, who saved the life of Clifford Sands, the Seattle youth captured by the government forces, is being held a prisoner by the Madriz forces, who force him to treat their wounded. Pittman was captured June 10, He had been active in the rebel army, himself setting a mine that killed nearly a hundred government soldiers, ee ee READ THE WOMAN'S PAGE Woman suffrage counts as one of its most powerful allies the Roman Catholie church, In the active campaign now being waged in the state of Washington by women who claim the right of equal suf. frage, the support of promt nent men of the church has been enlisted, Read the argu mente advanced by Arch bishop Cardinal Moran on the Woman's Page in today's Star SSSR EEE ERE EEE * * * * * om * * * * * * * * * * + * * eee eee ee ee FRIDAY, JULY 15, SS 1910, a OLER CAR THE SEATTLE ON TRAINS AND NEWS STANDS Se ONE CENT. - SHORT AT ARCADE THREE HURT Score Have Close When Car Is Derailed on Steep Hill by Interfer- ence of Paving Block.

COTTERILL [5 THE PROBLEM George F. Cotterill this morn- ing sent his declaration of can- didacy for the United States senate to the secretary of state at Olympia, Theodore Jenner, a resident of the twelfth precinct of the Bighth ward, teridered his notice of candi- dacy for the legislature from the 46th representative district to! County Anditor Case this morning. | The audiior refused to accept it and Jenner will immediately start a test case to compel the filing of his notice. Behind the case is an interesting political story. The republican aspirants for the state senate tn the 36th senatorial and the 32nd senatorial districts do not want George F. Cotterill for their demo- cratic opponent Cotterill in the last legislature represented the 46th senatorial dis- trict, A law was passed at the last re which took the twelfth of the Highth ward out of the 32nd atorial and 42nd legis lative district and placed it in the 36th senatorial district and the 46th legislative district, The attorney Reneral has de- clared it to be his opinion that the jaw is invalid, He has recommend. ed that a test case be made to de termine the matter, Since the last session of the legislature Cotterill has moved into the twelfth precinet of the Eighth ward and the suit will determine what district Cot- terill belongs in | business. | the wide open days of the Klondike rush several dance halls were operated in Seattle.

The man must pay for a drink for himself and his partner. Thugs stand around to thrash any person who is daring enough to refuse to spend his money at the bar after the dance. The women gulp their drinks or throw them on the floor. Another dance is on. Along the sides of the hall stand the men who make “big money” for the establishment. A man has money. The woman in the embrace of the dance locates the purse or wallet of her partner. Her male friend is told where the drunken man has his money. In the crowd the mob of pickpockets jostle the about. In a few minutes his money is gone. The woman gets her share, the pickpocket gets his and the house gets its bit. POLICEMAN HELPS THE THIEVES. Soon the man misses his money. He complains. He is called ugly names. Soon somebody hits him. Then there is a scuffle. A uniformed patrolman is called in from the beat. The robbed man is led to the patrol box pleading not to be locked up. He is hustled into the patrol wagon and at the police station he is booked as drunk and disorderly. The victim who has been in a dance hall before does ont protest, knowing that a complaint that he has been robbed means his arrest. He re- mains silent, goes out into the street, and when morning comes goes back to the logging camp to earn a stake to replace that stolen, thers’ arms KNOCKOUT DROPS FOR SLOW ONES.

Sometimes in these dance halls the “knockout drops” are a little too strong for the victim's heart. He never does come to. Days afterward possibly his body is dragged from the Sound, a “floater.” Burglars who are looting on an average of twelve houses a day stand around watching t the dance. In the crowd last night were a few “stickup” men eyeing the crowd and occasionally, inquiring of the women as to whether their danci ing partner was worth being inveigled outside’ to be treated to “strong arm” methods ‘Those who say they know say that the robberies in the Arcade run into hundreds nightly. Night before last an Alaskan lost $800, He made his way to police headquarters and was told the matter would be investigated. How long will the Arcade be allowed to operate? the question that is agitating the underworld just now. —S= THE LAST WHITE CITY COUPON; LOTS OF FUN THERE THIS EVENING This is your last coupon; cut it out.
