SANTANA MLL E ON TRAINS ANY xT ANIM Re We're Going to Make an Awful Try for That Regoinal Bank; and We'll Show Bill and Dave a Swell Old Time, Anyhow! Seattle Has Statistics All Piled Up Ready for Effort to Land One of Uncle Sam’ s Regional Banks 18 COU EDITION = MMMM RSES AT FEED--AND 32 SPEECHES We're going to tell Bill and Dave a few things tonight. We're going to open their eyes good and plenty. We're going to explain in so many words—oh, so many words!—just why we want and ought to have a regional bank. Bill's the fellow we're after. You know Bill?—William McAdoo, secretary of the treasury? Just now he's the head of the organiza- tion committee of the national re- gional reserve bank. Arrive This Afternoon Dave's almost as important as Bill. You've met Dave?—David Franklin Houston, to give him his entire moniker, secretary of agri culture? Bill and Dave will arrive in Se- attle at 3:15 this afternoon. They will be met at the O. & W. station by a delegation of our best citizens, | with Judge Thomas Burke at their head We will allow Bill and Dave just time enough to remove the grime of travel—no more. Then we of the Chamber of Commerce will take them for an automobile tour of the | city We'll Show 'Em Around “Observe, we will say, “our | broad, well-lighted streets.” Dave will nod brightly, and Bill will cry: “Oh, I say, Dave, did you ever see sucn broad, well-lighted streets? At this point five minutes will be devoted to statistics on streets and Nights, carefully compiled by a statistician employed by the Cham ber of Commerce. We will shoot the water front We Supply Statistics Note, please,” we will say, “our harbors, deep, commodious, safe, to sil and Dave along | which come ships from the seven} seas.” (Five minutes for statistics on coastwise. Alaskan and trans pacific shipping.) “These water abound with fish.” (Statistics on fish.) ) “While for bundreds of, miles ell about you are millions tpon mil lions of dollars’ worth of timber land and mineral wealth as yet un touched (Statistics on lumber and min. erals.)

We will flit swiftly through a residence district or two, pointing out the homes of e of most prominent citi- zens. Finally will return to the downtown section, where attention will be called to the Smith building, which is the tallest sky-scraper in the world outside of N’ York, b’ gosh! And then we will take Bill and Dave to the Washington hotel Through with them? Not much. We will have only started. Cram 'Em With Food If necessary, a physician will give them a hypodermic injection ;to stimulate the heart action, and {then we of Commercial Club will give a banquet in their honor. There will be 18 courses, |wine and statistics with | course, | There wil be Seattle, ton and Alaska statistics. | And when the soft-footed waiters |have cleared the tables and brought |the coffee and cigars, Fred W.

Maxwell, president of the National'Qity bank, as the toast- master of the evening. Give Us That Bank! And Maxweil, chosen words, in a few, well- will call upon Gov. Lister, who will tell, statistically, why Seattle should have the re- gional bank | Mayor Cotterill will next be called jon. and, presenting the keys of our | fair city, will serve up a few statis- ties that Lister forgot to mention. Bill and Dave will then reply— though what they will say we haven't the slightest notion. But, in order that no argument may be overlooked, it has been |thought wise to call upon 26 OTHER PERSONS of wealth and promi- nence to make three-minute speeches If, at the conclusion of the 32nd eech, there is any point that Bill and Dave would like cleared up, they have only to mention it to the toast- master. CAPITAL DRIVES OUT ITS WOMEN; _ FEARS SUICIDES WASHINGTON, Jan. 28,—Today | was. moving day for the denizens of Washington's underworld The Kenyon law, closing all re sorts, went into effect, and the po- lice saw that it was strictly en- forced. | Three without the streets hundred women, many clothes, were forced into at an early hour this morning. The authorities fear an epidemic of suicides may follow. | Stanley Finch, head of the white slave bureau of the de- partment of justice, canvassed | the district and offered the women jobs in department stores here and elsewhere at $8 a week. The offer was refused tn nearly every case. “We can’t live on $8 a week,” they said, “when we have b accustomed to making from $25 to $100.” 3 POLICEMEN AND A WOMAN Fditor The Star I stopped to have m at First av, and Virginia st, and my tired of posing on the corner, surely up Virginia st Last evening shoes shined sife, strolled le ward Second av, where we intend ed to and did get a car to %o on downtow My wife had sedteely left me un til she was accosted by a rough looking young Greek, clad in a dirty red sweater, who made the most insulting advance Repulsed 20 feet away from @/he stayed about my wife stopped, and two rent times in the following five minutes, stopped two men, each one of whom, after a hurried con versation, 4 “pproached my wife with their ulting insinuations.
