ARE ALL REJECTED Now Apply Some Business Brains (EDITORIAL) So—the courthouse gang didn’t quite dare. Its preposterous scheme to present the ferry system and a large annual cash subsidy on a silver platter to a Lp monopoly for a 10-year period has been shelved. 3 questionable program and Four Routes King county ferries will not be handed over to private interests! For nearly an hour after public hearing was scheduled 1¢ open the three comminstonere office discussing the ferry question Tremendous pressure was brought to bear on the commissioners, it is belleved, to have them turn over the ferry aystem to Captain J. L. Anderson, whose bid to run the system for receipts ond an annual subsidy of $75,000 was backed by large property owners here, DOBSON MOVES TO REJECT When the three commisstoners filed out of their private office, a hush fell over the lobby. Without preliminary discussion, Commissioner Tom Dobson moved that ell bids be rejected. The mo tion was carried, “The board has not received mat- tsfactory bids,” Comminsioner Lou Smith sal “but I would like to force | ssest at thie time that we OP | in, tine today. erate the ferries after September 15 along the lines laid down in the advertised bide. A policy of strong retrenchment ts imperative.” This suggestion was vigorously indorsed by Dobson. Under the pian proposed, only four of the principal ferry routes would be maintained, Medina, Kirk- land, Fortuna, on the lakes, and Vashon-Harper on the sound. At the present time approximately nine ferries ure operated by the board. The two bids rejected by the board were those of Capt. Anderson and M 1, Hamilton and Krist Knudson. Both concerns demanded annual sub- sidies to operate the lines. Anderson wanted $75,000, in addition to the re- ceipts of the ferries, while Hamilton and Knudson wanted $149,000 sub. sidy. LARGE LOBBY READY TO PROTEST Anderson has been superintendent of transportation for the county since 1919. The ferry system has been running behind nearly $1,000 a day during that time, it ie estimated. A proposal to erect a pontoon bridge across Lake Washington was not considered at the hearing A large lobby jammed the chamber of the commissioners, It consisted of representatives of clvic organiza tions, taxpayers of the county and residents, who were reddy to fight any attempt to push tho leasing steal. Heated discussion developed be- tween residents of various settle ments on the east shore* of Lake Washington, Each town had its ad herents, who believed that they |whould be given better ferry service. In some instances the arguments be: came #0 acrid that it required. the efforts of Chairman Ramsay to keep order, “You people on the east shore of the lake must get together,” Ram say declared, ‘We cannot continue to operate ail of the present ferries.

Alleged failure of Mex!- can officials to make any attempt at thelr capture has resulted in the present threats of reprisals. On demand of United States Consul Francis J. Dyer, warrants for the orrest of the seven Mexicans were sworn out today at Nogales.

C., Aug. 30.—Hope is practically abandoned for the government steamer Canadian Importer!

In the year and a half since his |release, Arnold has rebuilt his prac- tice and resumed his old place in the community. Few persons know where he spent his “vacation.” They know only that he was absent for two years. ARNOLD MAKES SWORN STATEMENT The story of those two years, and the events leading up to them, is contained in the court records and in sworn statements by Arnold himself. This is Arnold's story as he tells it: “I had for 16 years maintained and built up a successful business in Se- ttle. I was living at home, with my wife and family, here. 1 also sup- ported my only son and his family. The expense was large, all of which 1 paid cheerfully.
