POLICE of Alleged Effort of Officers to Col- lect “Protection” Information that Mrs. Ora Third ave., near Union, had been driven out of the hotel | business in Seattle by perse- cutions of Seattle police to make room for an institution that would pay large sums of “protection” money to po- llice grafters was laid before Deputy Prosecuting Attorney jeounty grand jury Wednes- | | day. Mrs. Racine, Colvin was told, waa patrolling the beat that she “cane on a legitimate basis” and that she would be “run out of town.” ~ After spending large sums in re- modeling, refinishing and redecorat ing the building and in advertising it, she finally was forced to sell out, The instance was only one of many tending to show that police graft.and corruption are infringing upon legitimate business enterprises of the city and forcing people who are attempting to make an honest living to leave Seattle or run places of_vice and lawlessness. Another instance reported to Cole vin was the case of a Yakima busl- ness man who came to Seattle and purchased an apartment house, with the intention of operating an hon- est business. When thts man re fused to permit liquor to be sold in the place, he was raided by the po- lice dry squad and finally bankrupt» ed and his finances ruined. y PROBES STORIES Thy Tama hotel story, as told by Mrs./ Racine, {s one of the most ¥ amazing of a long list of stories that are being probed by the jury.
