SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Weistling Wants $25,000 Damages from The Times Weistling Wants $25,000 Damages from The Times "That in the said article, marked "Exhibit A" under the allegation "Corcoran Calls It Bunko" and under the statement attributed to Under Sheriff Corcoran that "We were simply made victims of a bunk talk"; the defendant meant to be understood and was understood in referring to plaintiff, that plaintiff then and there obtained something of benefit by false pretenses, trick and devise and the defendant meant to be understood and was so understood by plaintiff and the public The Seattle Times has at last been served with libelous papers, a proceeding which has been repeatedly threatened it ever since the paper went into the hands of the Blethen family; but none has ever come to a head before the present one. Just how the editor of the Times has escaped both criminal and civil libelous suits since he has been operating in Seattle is a very serious question, for had almost vast amount of trouble in the courts. Senator Palmer, however, demanded a retraction from the Times for having classed him with those who deserted Preston and for once Colonel Blethen took back water and retracted, so far as Palmer was concerned, every allegation that he, Palmer, complained of. It is claimed that now Blethen denies having made any such retraction, but that he said nice things about Mr. Palmer from the goodness of his heart, and at the prayerful solicitation of Mr. Palmer. Persons who know Ed. Palmer know such a statement to be a flat footed falsehood from start to finish. There seems to be no doubt but that Mr. Weistling has a strong case against the Times Publishing Co., and will establish that fact beyond a reasonable doubt to the courts and it will only remain for a jury to decide how much he has actually been damaged by the publication of the infamous as well as slanderous articles by innuendo. Under our statute the editor of the Times has undoubtedly committed a criminal libel against Mr. Weistling, but it is learned from him that he has no intention of pushing that end of the case—at least for the present. This case will be watched with much interest by the publishers of newspapers and by politicians as well. Frank B. Weistling, the well known attorney, who was accused by the editor of the Times, if not directly, by innuendo, of aiding and abetting one W. B. Allison, a criminal of escaping from the county jail, has taken serious exception to the allegation and demanded a retraction on the part of the Times, which it refused to give. The three days limit having expired last Friday a suit for $25,000 damages was filed against the Times Publishing Co., last Saturday, and in doing so Mr. Weistling based his grounds for the suit on the following: Lawyers differ as to the amount of damage Mr. Weistling can get judgment for, but they all agree that he has been libeled and will get a judgment for some amount.

That the Times has been run something on the order of a blackmailing sheet on an extensive scale the most of the citizens of this town truly believe, but those business men that have been attacked by it have refused to call its hand simply because they did not care for the publicity that a suit in court would give them. Now, however, that the ice has been broken The Republican would not be surprised to hear of a number of damage suits filed by insulted persons against the Times for some article which either will or has already appeared within its columns. After the adjournment of the last legislature heavy libelous suits were threatened against the Times Publishing Co., by those representatives in the legislature that were charged with being traitors by the Times, but after due and careful consideration on the part of the statesmen and their attorneys the case never materialized, though it is said, they had clear cases against the Times and could at least have given it a vast amount of trouble in the courts.

Ankeny has been selected by the delegation to the National Convention from this state as National Committeeman was a complete surprise to the politicians of this state. It will be remembered that Charles Sweeney of Spokane was a strong applicant for this position, and, it wav very generally believed, Senator Ankeny was supporting him, but subsequent events would seem to indicate that such was not the case. James M. Ashton of Tacoma and John S. McMillan were also candidates for this honor and both made a hard fight to succeed, but were beaten in the race by Senator Ankeny.

The National Committeeman is an office with empty honors and a large expense account as a perquisite. The duties of the National Committeeman are more or less perfunctory, and especially a Western Committeeman, and,therefore, it is immaterial to the politicians of the state who the selected man is. Inasmuch as the patronage distributed rests solely with the members of congress and not with the Committeeman as is the case in various Southern states. The selection of Senator Ankeny as National Committeeman places that gentleman in the position of hogging everything in sight from a political standpoint. He is al- APR 29 1952 BLICAN PRICE FIVE CENTS from The Times article, marked "Exhibit A" under the allegation ko" and under the statement attributed to that "We were simply made victims of a meant to be understood and was understood that plaintiff then and there obtained something uses, trick and devise and the defendant meant as so understood by plaintiff and the public generally that plaintiff deceived and intended to deceive Under Sheriff Corcoran and said Deputy Smith, by falsely representing a fact to exist, which did not exist, namely: the alleged representation made by plaintiff that Notice of Appeal to the Supreme Court had actually been taken, and the defendant intended to be understood thereby by the plaintiff and the public, who read said article, that plaintiff was lieing to said Corcoran and Smith, wilfully and intentionally meaning to deceive them; and defendant in publishing and circulating said article meant to be understood and was understood by the public generally and by this plaintiff of accusing the plaintiff of participating in and aiding in and abetting in an attempted jail break out of and from the County Jail of King County, State of Washington, of certain prisoners therein confined and especially the said Allison and said Marshall, and thereby imputed and intended to impute to plaintiff the commission of a violation of the criminal statute of the State of Washington and especially the statute defining and fixing a punishment for attempted jail breakers and persons who aid, assist and abet in the commission of such offense of to doubt but that Mr. Weistling has a strong Publishing Co., and will establish that fact be- to the courts and it will only remain for a man he has actually been damaged by the publi- as well as slanderous articles by innuendo. Advisor of the Times has undoubtedly committed Mr. Weistling, but it is learned from him that pushing that end of the case—at least for the time watched with much interest by the publish- y politicians as well. To the amount of damage Mr. Weistling can they all agree that he has been libeled and some amount. The case promises an enter- el. Times for libel. Why don't he buy a newspaper ready United States Senator, made the fight of his life to be named as one of the delegates to the National Convention and has now succeeded in having himself elected National Committeeman. If there is anything else in sight that the Senator would like to have the Pie-maker suggests that he name it at once so that the politicians in future will not scrap for such coveted positions wanted by himself. It is an easy matter for the Senator to capture all such prizes because he can barter federal positions for them, but the day is coming when he, "having sowed to the wind shall reap the whirlwind." It is impossible for one man to assume the position of "IT" in the political affairs of any state, county or community and last very long at it. Absolute political bosses seem to stand a pretty good show in New York and in other Eastern communi- --- ties, but political bosses, and especially of the stripe that want everything for themselves and nothing for their workers, soon go to pieces in the West, and it is surmised that the same will hold good as to Eastern states and communities. Mr. Ankeny has made a fair United States Senator, and has been making friends since he has been in Washington at home, but if he continues to take everything political in sight for Levi Ankeny of Walla Walla, the devil will be to pay when he comes forward to succeed himself in the senate. \* \* \* George Mudgett, the Democratic county treasurer of Spokane county has practically announced his candidacy for the nomination of state treasurer on the Democratic ticket, subject to the will of the convention, which convention will be held in Bellingham August 2nd. Mr. Mudgett served Spokane county in his present capacity for eight years, he first being elected in 1894, and re-elected in 1896. He laid off for one year and in 1900 came up for the same position, was elected and re-elected in 1902: all of which shows him to be a very popular Democratic politician in Spokane county, and he now believes that his popularity is becoming equally famous throughout the state. Mr. Mudgett has no fear of not receiving the nomination owing to the fact that the convention may,nolens volens nominate Senator Turner for governor, for this, he thinks, will be the voice of the people throughout the state while his nomination will be catering to the Spokane delegation with the view of strengthening the ticket in the second largest county in the state. \* \* \* THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE SPIRIT Office Roome are Coming If in the past there has been a scarcity of office rooms for rent in Seattle it would appear from the number of office buildings that are now in the course of erection that the strain would in a very few months more be completely relieved. At the offices of some of the leading business blocks men wanting to rent office rooms have had deposits in waiting for the first vacancy that might occur in the building for the past fifteen months and down town office rooms rent at fabulously high prices notwithstanding the fact that times are reported dull in the city. At present there are in the course of construction the Colman block, which will throw open to persons desiring offices five new stories containing from 300 to 400 splendid offices, both in suites and in single. It is learned from the owner of this block that all of the rooms in suites have already been taken and only a few single rooms are to be had. In order to secure a room in the Colman block after it is completed one must pay a month's rent down and then wait until the block is completed. * * * P.-I. Block to be Converted Within the next two or three months the building now occupied by the Post-Intelligence will be completely overhauled and converted into an office building. the paper plant moving to its own block This will give some fifty more rooms for persons wanting offices in blocks, which of itself should greatly relieve the office strain in Seattle. There are one or two other buildings which are being finished up for offices and within the next sixty days a great number of offices will be ready for occupancy. \* \* \* Following the completion of these offices the contract has just been let for the erection of a wing to the Mutual Life building, which will be an exact duplicate of the building now standing. It will be completed within the present year and when completed it will give to the public as many new offices as there are in the Mutual Life building at present. The new wing is to cost $125,000, and is to be a brick and iron structure. * * * As hundreds of sight seers will testify the Alaska building is now fairly under headway and by next spring at least, this sky scraper will be ready for occupancy and in view of the fact that it will be fourteen stories high it of itself will contain a sufficient number of rooms to almost accommodate a city of moderate size. The Erickson building will also be completed next year and that is to be eight stories from First Avenue, seven of which will be for offices. It will thus be seen that the effort to supply the town with more offices will be successfully carried out within the next six months, and if after that time office rent is not at least 40 per cent cheaper than it is at present it will be because Seattle will have a population of at least 200,000 or because the owners of the various office buildings will prefer them to go vacant rather than rent them for a moderate price. \* \* \* Pioneers Hold Annual Reunion The old pioneers of this state held their annual reunion in Seattle last Tuesday, which was well attended. The younger generations of this country always look upon the old pioneer with wonder and admira- ```markdown ``` FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1904 tion. He wonders how one could have wandered out to this wilderness of woods many years ago to cast his lot, and wonders again, how after arriving here the pioneer could have thought of remaining any longer than he could get away. Then he admires him because he did stay here and carve out of this great wilderness of woods a great state, and a great city and a great manufacturing and commercial centre. The pioneers themselves hardly realize the changes that have taken place, for they have come about so gradually year by year. This wilderness of woods has been transformed into beautiful cities and growing farms with such ease that they themselves, who were the founders of it all, hardly realize how it was done. There are those still living who assisted in building the first cabin ever erected on the spot where now Greater Seattle stands, and yet they do not consider themselves so very old at that. From the very outset they entrained such high hopes of Seattle becoming the commercial centre of the Pacific coast that Seattle has actually become that while they were yet struggling to make it so. Both of the Dennys, and in fact all of the first settlers, with the exception of Mercer, have all passed to the Great Beyond. The pioneers, for the most part have succeeded well and all of them, who made any effort to secure property, are now enjoying immense wealth on account of the rapid growth and development of the country. The Denny estate and the Denny children are among the wealthy people of the state, owing to the fact that they own RACES! RACES!! RACES!!!

Dexter Horton, who came soon after the Dennys, is also very wealthy and his prop- erty interests in this city and its surround- ings is very extensive. J. M. Colman, who followed soon after Mr. Horton is perhaps the wealthiest of the old pioneers, for his rentals one month with anothen would be a small fortune for the average citizen. John Leary, another old pioneer, like Mr. Colman has extensive property interests in this city and his rentals are almost fabulous. There are hundreds of others of the old pioneers who while not quite so wealthy are com- fortably fixed for all time to come, not only for themseives, but for their children as well. These men, however are mentioned owing to the fact that they have been prom- inent in business circles and are still in good health. No admission fee will be charged to those who attend the lecture of Dr. Bowen at the First Methodist church next Tuesday, June 28th. Come and hear what this noted Negro has to say about the condition of the Negro in the South. Dr. Bown received over 300 votes at Los Angeles for one of the bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church and it is predicted he will be elected bishop at the next General Conference of his church. Wise and Otherwise Lost, on toem pole; the former editor of the Argus. “The town is ruined,” say the gamblers. A town that goes to the bow-wows because gambling is suppressed should go quickly. Between combined capital and organized labor the “hustler” with a small business of any kind has a hard row to hoe. “HOW to choose a WIFE” was the sub- ject preached about by one of our local preachers last Sunday. Most people find less trouble in choosing a wife than a preacher. Our banks are full of money and new buildings are going up everywhere. Does that ir’ anyway indicate hard times? Lou Cohen threatens to sue the Argus for non-support, so they say, but others better informed, say the astute manager of base ball teams and things bought off the hun- dred eyed monster. Jesus is credited with having rebuked Ju- das for always having the poor as his pet hobby. Many preachers miss this text and always are sermonizing on the subject of, Capital and Labor, a subject they know but little about from any standpoint. There possibly may be born musicians, born orators, born painters, born money makers and the like, but the “Solicitor De Luxe” is above and beyond all these. He out-classes all classes, races and distinc- tions They say nowadays that all minds of all men are to a great degree controlled by the subtle law of suggestion. What effect does this law have upon ordinary lawyers who are elected Judges and constantly hear such phrases as, “your honor,” “This most learned court,” “The able decision in be- half of the plaintiff rendered by this able court in the case of Somebody vs. Nobody,” and the like? Let lawyers answer. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN “There, there, good woman, | believe your story, you may have a divorce,” said Judge Hatch the other day to a weeping ap- plicant for the anullment of her marital ites. The judge was right. No sense in trying to hold a crying, hysterical woman it. double harness. This does not necessarily mean that the “crying, hysterical woman” will be “happy ever afterwards” either, for she won't. She’s not “built that way.” To many people of this country the Race problem is a perplexing one, but if you wiil go to hear Dr. Bowen lecture at the First Methodist church next Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock p. m. you will take a different view of it to what you now entertain, Dr. Bowen is one of the able educators of this country and one of the best pulpit orators ever heard in Seattle. Tuesday evening, June 28th. The patrons of the Seattle Electric Company ure now offered a “yard of tickets” for a dollar instead of the book. The company is growing very economical, it saves in lost tickets, covers, and in printer’s bills fully two per cent. Had the company adopted the plan of selling six tickets for a quarter and allowed conductors to make the sales and then given transfers there would have been small grounds for complaint: as it is, there is justly much dis- satisfaction. Times are so bad that the Times has a new red, yellow, green and purple printing press and is in every way more prosperous than ever before. So says the Times. Frank Wiestling is a lawyer. He has a family to support. To support that family he depends upon the good will and confi- dence of the community in which he re- sides. He has no newspaper with which to call names, so when attacked in a manner calculated to bring him into contumely he has no recourse but an appeal to the courts. This he has done, and unless his suit is dropped or compromised all newspapers, especially one newspaper, will learn some law. Redelshiemer, the irrepressible, was hold- a whispered consultation . with ———— on the corner of First Avenue and Columbia street the other day, when a lawyer said, “You know that man is the walking expo- nent of a cure miracle that was once wrought on him.” “How is that?” was asked. “Why, he was once summoned as a juryman in Judge Hanford’s court. It was when trade was brisk, incident to the Klon- dike discoveries. Jule didn’t want to serve. He consulted the late Dr. Kibbe and couldn’t hear a watch tick. He got a certifi- cate, then borrowed an ear trumpet, but even with that could not hear what Judge Hanford said until he said, “You are ex- cused.” Now he can hear whispers in the wind.” John A. Whalley is telling a. story that’s not a bad one by any means. Whalley was ence treasurer of the Post-Intelligencer Company and had a great many of its em- ployees to deal with. In the business office was a colored boy who was quite a favorite. Like the most of his race he was very fond of “hair grease” and seeing as he thought 2 splendid bottle of it on Whalley’s desk he did not loose much time in appropriat- ing enough for his hair. “What kind of hair grease is that Mistah Whalley,” the chony messenger enquired? “That’s no hair grease” replied Whalley, “that’s mucilage for sticking things on.” “Golly,” said the 50... £00 HOY Rave Olmoes Usa owes? had used Whalley’s “stickum” for hair oil. Some of the sentences imposed by Judge Tallman do not please the Times Editor. Judge Tallman should feel discouraged. This is the camping season and many are availing themselves of the opportunity and the season to go to the woods that they may get closer to Nature and nearer to God. All are seeking rest and recreation. Some do not find it. In this conection a good story is told of one of our lawyers, the Hon. John H. Powell. Two or three years ago he thought he would regain his youth by a so- journ in the woods on Hood’s Canal. He made careful preparations, got a big outfit of everything and during a few days before starting for “camp” he bid all his clients and lawyer friends good-bye saying he was bound to have three weeks rest. In four days he was back in town, sunburned, brier- scratched, and in a silent humor of, “T don’t want to talk.” “Hello,” said a friend, “I thought you were camping.” “I was,” said John. “What are you here for?” was asked. “Well,” says John, “I’m one durned fool who knows when he has got enough.” Divorce is a subject much written about, much preached about, and ever a subject of gossip with certain people. Like every other thought it is catching, and many seek to have the matrimonial knot untied who have no very adequate grounds or good reasons for the same. A lawyer of Seattle tells of a woman who reached his office the other day just after he got home. A be- lated clerk let her in, and after finding the lawyer had gone home she desired to call him up by ‘phone. When he answered she told him that she was in great trouble, must see him at once on urgent business. Seeing visions of a fee he returned to his office, coming by electric car some three or four miles. When he met the distressed lady he was told by her, between sobs, that she wanted a divorce and as alimony the house property. “What are your grounds for di- yorce?” asked the lawyer. “Why,” said she, I want to mortgage the house to build another to rent and my husband don’t want to and won't sign the mortgage!” explained the abused wife. “How did you get your home?” enquired the lawyer. “Oh, my hus- band worked and we saved some money, bought a lot, then built the house. He is a carpenter and he did a good deal of the work after hours, and when out of other employment,” was told in broken sentences. This distressed wife said her husband did not drink and never abused her and was quite surprised when told her grievance was not sufficient under the statutes to se- cure a divorce. “Well, said she, “1 wouldn’t mind taking him to board if that would help, because he isn’t bad to have araunna (??

HOLT Are the standard bearers of the Republican party for president and vice-president, who will be overwhelmingly elected at the November election. It has been a foregone conclusion ever since Theodore Roosevelt assumed the duties of president that he would be nominated for that high honor at the next Republican National Convention. Roosevelt of himself was exceedingly popular with the people and when he promised and actually did carry out the policy of his illustrious predecessor William McKinley he became doubly popular, yea even became the people's ideal president. If there be one man in this country who as a public servant that can be pronounced an "ideal American that man is Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States of America. Therefore in nominating him the Republicans have done well and the country should settle down to its usual prosperity for he is almost as certain of election as he was of nomination. In selecting Charles Warren Fairbanks as President Roosevelt's running mate a man no less popular in many instances than Roosevelt has been chosen. Fairbanks won his spurs in 1896 when he did valliant service for the Republican nominees by puncturing the sophistries of the "immortal" William Jennings Bryan who predicted dire destruction for the country in case the Republicans elected William McKinley as president of the United States. The grand speeches of Charles W. Fairbanks all over the country did much to calm the voters' fears along this line. He rendered the party other and even more valliant service when he saved the state of Indiana from the grasp of Bryanism. Senator Fairbanks is for, "All men up," and that too without regard to his race, color or previous condition. He best of all is not a Democratic appologist and is not afraid to denounce the bloody midnight murderers perpetrated by Southern Democrats. No wonder the Democrats stand aghast at the nomination of Roosevelt and Fairbanks for they see their finish. The platform adopted by the convention is all any reasonable man could expect. The introductory is as follows: "Fifty years ago the Republican party came into existence, dedicated among other purposes to the great task of arresting the FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1904 extension of human slavery. In 1860 it elected its first president. During twenty-four years which have elapsed since the election of Lincoln the Republican party has held complete control of the government. For eighteen more of the forty-four years it has held partial control through the possession of one or two branches of the government, while the Democratic party during the same period had had complete control for only two years. This long tenure of power by the Republican part is not due to chance. It is a demonstration that the Republican part has commanded the confidence of the American people for nearly two generations to a degree never equaled in our history, and has displayed a high capacity for rule and government which has been made even more conspicuous by the incapacity and infirmity of purpose shown by its opponents. The Republican party entered upon its present period of complete supremacy in 1897. We have every right to congratulate ourselves upon the work since then accomplished, for it has added lustre to the traditions of the party which carried the government through the storms of the civil war." Touching the conditions in the South it says as follows: "We favor such congressional action as shall determine whether by special discriminations the elective franchise in any state has been unconstitutionally limited, and if such is the case, we demand that representation in congress and in the electoral college shall be proportionately reduced, as directed by the constitution of the United States." The patforn an ideal one and one that is able to confront Bryanism or any other kind of Democracy. One of the questions of the present age if the Race Problem in the United States. If you want to hear that question discussed as you have never before, go to hear Dr. Bowen, the well-known Negro educator lecture at the First Methodist church, corner Marion and Third avenue, next Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock p. m., June 28th. Robbery in St. Louis The Vancouver Columbian warns its readers not to go to St. Louis without a good roll of coin and then beware of the various systems of robbery practiced upon unsuspecting victims. Continuing, it says: "It is lamentable that the American people can be so disposed as to rob their fellow citizens when they see that the same can be avoided." If such be true it is indeed a deplorable state of affairs and a sad commentary on our much boasted American civilization. Let's hope that the picture drawn has been largely exaggerated. Against Mail Order Business The mail order business may be all right for the merchants in large cities where the revenue is all coming in and the goods all going out, but for the smaller towns it is a very poor rule, judging from the following excerpt taken from the Elma Chronicle: "This office is frequently in receipt of orders for advertising mail order houses. Such advertising has no charms for the editor of this paper who believes that every dollar sent away from home to mail order houses is just that much taken away from the prosperity of the locality." There is no doubt of it, brother. FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1904 PEOPLES’ SAVINGS BANK Second and Pike. Capitar $100,000 Deposits received from $1 to $10,000; 4 per cent.

The members of the A. M. E. church on Fifteenth avenue, as has already been reported, are making strenuous efforts to erect a new church edifice on the present church property. It is the hope of the building committee to complete the church by the first of September, in order that the next annual conference may be held therein, and the church dedicated by the Bishop during his stay in the city. The accompanying cut will give our readers some idea of the new church; this cut having been made from the plans which have been accepted by the building committee from the hands of the architect. The church when completed will cost $3,500, and will be modern in every particular. Rev. S. S. Freeman, pastor of the church, has undertaken this work, and from the number of committees and ways and means that he has adopted to raise the necessary money to pay for the church it would seem that he and his committees will have raised a sufficient sum of money to pay for the building by the time it is completed. The trustees of the church at present are: G. W. Thompson, W. M. J. Wylie, Mrs. E. J. Anderson, G. W. Turner, John Stafford, C. H. Harvey, and A. H. Hall. One of the feature that has been adopted by the church for the purpose of raising the money for the first payment on the building is the holding of a carnival from July Fourth to July 8th. The queen of this carnival is to be elected and three young ladies—Miss Mary Johnson, Miss Luetta Smith and Miss Katie Scott have consented to become candidates for the honor, and the one receiving the highest number of votes will be crowned as queen of the carnival. In order to vote for the queen you must pay a small sum for a ticket and this is deposited in a box for safe keeping until the contest is over and the vote decided. Rev. Dr. J. W. E.
