On the surface, at least, the social activities that went on within its walls were innocent enough. Formerly it was known as “the Judge Gose mansion.” But Lawyer Norwood Brockett, of the Seattle Electric, rented it furnished for the legislative session. In Seattle Lawyer Brockett is not always a pleasant man to meet. He can on occasion be crisp, and even crabbed. But when Lawyer Brockett goes to Olympia to lobby for his masters, he seems to undergo a sort of metamorphosis.

When that iniquitous measure, in its various dis- guises, came up for public hearing, Brockett was joined by those other skillful enslavers of political virgins, Leonard, Kempster and James B. Howe It was as Senate Bill 46 that “300” first made its ap- arance early in the session. Howard Taylor presented It is admitted that Brockett drew it.

The substitute was no better. Finally, it was substitute for the substitute Senate Bill 46, and it was known and discussed in that form as “the Brockett bill.” But “300,” thanks to the cowardice of the political prostitutes, died a-borning.. Brockett, as the rural legislators vulgarly expressed it, “bit off more than he could chew.” Though his legislators eulogized “300” on the floor and in public, is private they habitually referred to it as “that damn bill.” UT you must ee eee give Brockett credit. iS. ‘ounsel B He was not en- (2 STEAM CHARGED WITH | EVADING LAW filed Friday 0D ON” LONDON, March Th ing of two more British stear 19 Charges were time to time.
