Main 305 427 Epler Block Seattle, Washington HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON, - - - Publisher SUSIE REVELS CAYTON, - - - Associate Gill and the Mayoralty. Hundreds and thousands of persons in Seattle firmly believed that Mayor Gill was as guilty as was Wappenstein, his chief of the police, and they expected to see him indicted, yea even hoped that he would be, but the grand jury selected by the political enemies of Mr. Gill, instructed by a hostile judge, advised by an equally hostile prosecuting attorney and presided over by a foreman no less hostile to him than the aforesaid officials, after working for more than a year that grand jury gave Mr. Gill a clean bill of sale before it finally adjourned. In other words, it admitted that, though the members thereof had struggled for months to discover a vulnerable point in Mr. Gill, it was forced to hand to him a clean bill of sale. The editor of The Seattle Republican shared in the general belief of Gill's guilt, and perhaps was disappointed when he was not indicted with Wappenstein, but when the Grand Jury explained in the language of Pontius Pilot, before whom the Savior had been tried, "I find no fault in this man," it looked to him more like a case of persecution than one of prosecution If H. C. Gill was guilty certainly a grand jury made up of and by his personal enemies ought to have been able to find something on or about him that would have at least warranted it in sending him before a trial judge, but, as said above, it failed so to do, and, that being a fact, it is unfair, it is unmanly, it is unchristian, and finally, it is un-Godly to at this time brand him, if only by inuendo, as guilty of malfeasance and misfeasance in office, when sixteen men, good and true, declared him blameless. The editor of this paper has never been a personal admirer of Mr. Gill, but he has always been a personal admirer of fair play for every living thing, and likewise of the principle, to say no evil even against the dead. As it now stands Mr. Gill is as innocent of misfeasance in office as any man that has ever held the office of mayor of Seattle and from a speculative standpoint even more so, because a grand jury after months of lexowing his administration said he was absolutely guiltless. If all this be true, and it is not denied, then is it not inconsistent for Dr. Matthews et al to go behind the returns of their own grand jury and, like Galilio declared it was so, the verdict of the jury to the contrary notwithstanding. Let Mr. Gill be fought on the issues in the present campaign the same as the other candi- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEB. 2, 1912. dates and that will demonstrate the fairness of the American men and women in Seattle. Clarence Darrow Trapped. In returning a true bill against Clarence Darrow, the famous counsel of accused labor leaders, there is a general sigh of relief among persons who were firmly convinced that, Mr. Darrow used unfair means in getting his clients out of ugly mix-ups with the law. Despite the fact that Hayward and Moyer were acquitted of the crimes they were tried for over in Idaho, yet it was and still is the concensus of opinion that Darrow did not "tote" fair in the preparation of his witnesses for the defense. There is hardly a shadow of doubt but that the McNamara case was a net work of corruption and bribery from the very minute that Darrow entered it and there is hardly a shadow of doubt in the minds of the general public that the enormous sums of money raised for the defense of those two criminals were raised with the view of Darrow corrupting judge, jury and witnesses if it were possible so to do. As a climax the McNamaras saw the gallows staring them in the face, owing to the ackward and compromising positions in which Darrow had been caught in working up their defense and they plead guilty and are now in prison. But the law has other scores to settle and among them are a couple with Clarence Darrow, who squandered nearly $200,000 in selecting six jurymen for the defense, not because he got the money for his services, but because he used a great deal of it in trying to corrupt the machinery of the courts. That he is guilty is a foregone conclusion and the first step he took in his defense, to knock out the indictment on a technicality, not only showed the weakness of his defense, but almost admitted his guilt. Telephone Company Not Afraid. One day this week an employee of the Sunset Telephone Company made bold to assert, the telephone company has no fears of Seattle ever, or at least any ways soon, putting in a municipal telephone system, even though a favorable vote is cast for such a system at the next city election. To bear out my contention as to inaugurating a municipal telephone system, nearly two years ago the citizens of the city voted to install a municipl street car system, but you know the city is further from doing so now than she was before the bonds were voted, and the city officials are themselves responsible for the delay. It is safe to say that the whole thing will die a borning and in a couple of years more it will be decuared impracticable and it will be forgotten. The people may vote for a municipal telephone, but that will be as far as it will ever get as the council will prevent it from ever being put into effect just as it has the street car system." There you are. The telephone trust reas- VOLUME XVIII. NUMBER 48. ons that it is a thousand times easier to control a few men than the whole people and it therefore is not interested in whether the people vote favorable or unfavorably on the proposition for the city of Seattle to go into the telephone business. If the people vote for it it will be an easy matter to administer a dose of sleep powders to the city council and it would die a bornin as did the proposed street car system for Seattle. With these facts known to the voting public if it desires to establish a municipal telephone system or to have anything else done in the interest of the general public instead of a favored few great care should be exercised in selecting the members of the next city council and if those already selected do not work as they should then recall them and elect such as will do so. The interest of the general public should be the sole aim of the members of the city council. It Means Ruin to Seattle. It was a "Gentlemen's agreement" that sent a part of the wharfage improvements up the Duwamish river almost to Orillia and the balance to the north of Ballard some ten miles from nowhere. The two gentlemen most interested in the above agreement were Bob Bridges on the south and C. E. Remsberg on the north, both heavy realty holders in their respective bailiwicks. While those two gentlemen are enhancing the values of their properties the city folk are like the fellow between the upper and the nether millstone that are in action. In other words, while Seattle proper is hollering for mercy those "gentlemen" stand innocently by and wonder why she is making so much noise. The situation reminds us of the man, who was killed on the old Grand Street bridge in the southern part of the city many years ago. The first blow the murderer laid on his head felled him to the ground but as soon as he could get his breath he begged for mercy and screamed for help and as the murderer prepared to finish his work he coolly remarked to the dying man, "Why are you making all this noise? Why do you not take this matter calmly? I am doing all I can to get you out of your pain and if you will keep your moth closed just a minute I will have you out of your misery." It's All the Rage. The Bush Terminals have pretty completely occupied the public mind for the past week and everybody and his brother, and in some instances likewise his sister, have been discussing the question. If the terminals will bring to Seattle a hundredth part of the business that the advocates of the proposition declare they will, then Seattle will make the mistake of her life if she does not vote the necessary bonds to guarantee their coming, but a great many persons are of the show me type and insist that they be shown beyond a reasonable doubt some of the actual benefits that will accrue from the coming of the terminals. There is still another class who advocate the city herself doing just the same thing as the promoters of the Bush terminals say they propose doing. In other words they argue, this is an age of municipal ownership, and it will be wrong for the city to tie up her water front in the hands of a heartless corporation, out of which it will realize millions of dollars, which same amount the city had as well have. The advocates of the Bush terminals on the other hand argue that with the establishing of such a concern on our water front hundreds of small factories would follow almost immediately in its wake and that would give to the city a large pay roll, a thing she does not now have. The Seattle Republican is not going to discuss the subject at this time, but it does hope that it will be submitted to the people and before they vote on it the whole subject thoroughly discussed. If such a course is pursued it will be fair play for all sides. Elect Good Councilmen. In the coming election for Seattle every office save that of mayor has been lost sight of and the nominations for members of the city council are simply going by default and that too despite the fact forty-four persons have filed for the four places. The personel of the city council is far more important than that of mayor and with a council that's on the square and in the open the mayor would be powerless to do anything detrimental to the general welfare of the city. More attention should be paid to all of the offices to be filled and see to it that honorable and upright men be elected to fill them instead of grafters who use their official position to throw business to some firm or concern in which they are more or less personally interested. The Lawyers Protest. The King Cumty Bar Association has gone on record as bitterly opposing the elevation of Will E. Humphrey to the federal bench as has been intimated would be done by President Taft. He is charged with being incompetent from a legal view point to fill so important a position and cases were cited wherein he on account of his incompetency caused the city to lose large sums of money while he was corporation counsel. Where there is so much smoke there must be some fire and if a lawyer is incompetent it is reasonable to suppose the other lawyers of the community would know more about his incompetency than any other class of citizens. However we had always considered Mr. Humphrey a pretty well educated man and if he is not versed in law it's due to inertia rather than to a lack of natural ability. Don Ouixote Billings Charges. If Orville Billings, the Tacoma political freak, does not go on the vaudeville stage after he has finished his gubernatorial campaign, he will miss a splendid opportunity to make a quick fortune. He writes this office thusly: "On behalf of the freak-ridden citizens of this commonwealth, I desire to thank you for the editorial attention you have given to the principles for which I stand. "I should have done this before, but the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN fact is, my platform has received such a deluge of approval that I have been unable to send my acknowledgements to all promptly. "I was satisfied that the people were about tired of make-believe up-lifts, but I was surprised and wholly unprepared for such a spontaneous and almost universal approval." The Seattle Republican is satisfied that Mr. Billings has not received a favorable mention by a single paper in the state, and yet he sends such rot as the above to the publishers of the state. Don Quixote's antics are so far superior to those of Orville Billings that the former is a hero in comparison. The people of this state may be freak-ridden, but it would be nothing to what they would be if Billings should be elected. No Danger of Collision. Here is an opinion of an astronomer as to the motion f the sun and the earth: "It has been found that the sun is moving toward its apex with a velocity of about 12 miles a second. To realize what this means, consider that the muzzle velocity of a shot from a large modern cannon is only 1,500 feet per second, while the sun moves with a speed of 63,000 feet per second, or forty-two times as fast. If a cannon-shot could be projected with the velocity of the sun, its energy and penetrating power would be increased 1,700 times, and if a shot could be made that would withstand the enormous pressure and heat generated, it would penetrate 1,500 feet of solid steel. Practically, however, a steel shot moving at this velocity and striking such a thick, solid steel plate, would be instantly fused by the heat generated from impact. "The earth's mean velocity toward the apex is, of course, the same as that of the sun, while its orbital velocity is $ 1 8 \frac{1}{2} $ miles a second . . . The star called 61 Cygni, in the constellation of the Swan, is the nearest star visible in our latitude. While the sun moves nearly 400,000,000 miles in a year, it would take 100,000 years for it to move over a space equal to the distance that separates us from the nearest star. In the sun's flight toward its apex, it will take over 500,000 years for it to pass the star Vega, but since Vega has a slow motion at right angles to the sun's motion, it follows that the sun will never pass very near that star. "While the sun moves at a uniform rate and probably in a straight line, the earth, owing to its motion around the sun, describes a huge spiral in space." EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS. It begins to look as Oi Sen, the accused Chinese murderess, ought to change her name to I sin. Representative Shutt may have been a Christian gentleman as he was pictured at his funeral ceremony, but he did not bear his reverses with Christian fortitude or he would never have taken his own life because he could not live a millionaire. There is no doubt but that Tommy Burns is dead broke and hopes to recuperate his depleted pocket book by being matched against Jack Johnson though he knows he has not a ghost of a show to win. Friday, February 2, 1912 Of course a double telephone system is a genuine nuisance in any city and Seattle should abolish the one she has by owning her own system and then the telephone trust would be forced to the wall and then we would have but one system and that would be owned by the people. "All roads lead to Rome," was the proud boast of the citizens of that ancient republic, and it can be said without fear of successful contradiction at this time that, William Jennings Bryan is the Rome of the Democratic party and take whatever road you will or may you will pull at his door. When Col. Green of millionaire fame says that, the leap year girl may out run him he is not the only pebble on the beach in that particular, for, it is said, Col. Teddy Roosevelt has admitted that he does not run near so rapidly as in the past, and if chased by that certain leap year girl, bearing the name of Miss Presidency, there is grave danger of him being run down. It is hoped that the coal land grabbers were jarred loose from Alaska in her recent earthquake shock though it is hardly expected as those fellows know when they have a good thing. In commenting upon Parrish being a middle of the road candidate Cotterill in a recent speech admitted it, but added, he has one foot on the curb on this side of the street and the other foot on the curb on the other side, and that is the kind of a middle of the roader he is. Another uprising is threatened in Mexico and if she keeps on having periodical uprising it will not be long before she will be giving Hayti a hard chase for the first place in government uprisings. Sooner or later Uncle Sam will have to assume a protectorate over all of those hot-headed countries. According to financial reports George J. Gould is retiring from railroad holdings as rapidly as he can and is using his mney after the fashion of Russell Sage. It is said on good authority that he has more than fifty million dollars now loaned out to Wall Street operators. It will be remembered that Hetty Greene made her millions by loaning money to Wall Street operators, who were being squeezed at enormous interest. It begins to look as if George Gould is to be the Rothschild of the United States. BATES FOR PUBLISHING LEGAL NOTICES. Government Ownership of Telephones Friday, February 2, 1912 While Postmaster-General Hitchcock is announcing his intention of asking Congress to take charge of the telegraph lines of the United States, a parallel assumption of public utilities has actually taken place in Britain, where, on the first day of 1912, the whole telephone business of the country was transferred to the Government, and those employed in carrying it on were enrolled as members of the Civil Service. The Government has owned the telegraph service since 1870, and has owned telephone trunk lines several years. The telephone bureaus will become amalgamated with the various postoffices and will, of course, be under the administration of the Postmaster-General. This, we are told, will further convenience and economy and reduce rates. The ease and promptness with which the change was made was remarkable. The Government has for some time been running certain state lines, as the London Daily News remarks: "We have for some years been engaged in the telephone business, the trunk lines having passed into the hands of the nation some years ago. But the new business is of far greater dimensions than the old. By its transfer the nation will add a million and a quarter of miles of wire to its equipment, some 600,000 names to its list of telephone clients, and it will increase the capital cost of the entire system to something like £25,000,000. These figures indicate the magnitude of a business which was undreamed of in the childhood of many of those of us who still consider ourselves youthful." The London Morning Post gives a more detailed account of figures involved, and we read: "The change means that capital amounting to over £16,000,000, and 18,000 employees are transferred to the state—that, in short, the nationalization of the telephone service is an accomplished fact. Of these additional civil servants at least 12,000 will have the right to pensions under the post-office. The staff has not been transferred in its entirety. Certain members, such as the solicitor, the secretary, the general superintendent, the chief engineer, the assistant engineer, and six provincial superintendents, will not come under the Government. The highly paid officials will receive compensation from the company's fund established for that purpose. "An idea of the extent of the service taken over by the state may be gathered from the following statistics: There are over 400,000 subscribers, 1,571 exchanges, 500,000 exchange stations, and 36,000 private stations. Before the transfer the post-office controlled about 500,000 miles of telephone wire with 120,000 subscribers. By the change it will control 1,253,890 miles. The additional mileage brings the capital value of the system owned and worked by the state up to £25,000,000. The change, so smoothly accomplished, is the result of a decision in Parliament in 1905. The old company worked under a license from the Government granted over thirty years ago. It was resolved that the license should not be renewed, and that on its expiration the telephone service should be conducted by the state." Many papers reflect upon the quietness and smoothness with which the transfer was THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN made. Everything went on in the offices just as usual, and the London Pall Mall Gazette speaks in a tone of real exultation when it declares: "The transfer of the main section of the telephone system has been accomplished in a manner that is truly and thoroughly creditable to the race. Across the Canal we may fairly well believe that the reorganization of a great department like this would have produced either a flamboyant military display and perhaps a great imperial deliverance, or else an equal display of fervor from the republican tribune, possibly meetings of protest, and solemn reminders of the sanctity of 'la Patrie'! Over here we have simply gone and done it quietly, and thousands of telephone hands throughout the Kingdom are today state employees. So long as they maintain efficiency, and the responsible authorities keep the exchange-girl alert and polite, we shall feel that the rearrangement is all for the best. And we shall hear the familiar call 'Are you there?' with a feeling that as a business people we are 'there' all the time." The main question is how the public will benefit by the new arrangement. As the London Westminster Gazette observes somewhat hesitatingly: "We can but hope that the transfer will give us a better service. Some natural doubts on the subject have been expressed. It is for the post-office to prove that any fears of deterioration are unfounded, and that the state can give a better service than can a commercial company. The passage of the means of communication into the hands of the Government is a natural step, which should lead to the employment of the telephone in districts which need such an instrument but have offered little inducement to exploitation by a business to which profits were essential." But The Morning Post speaks more confidently about greater convenience and reduced charges as a result: ::One result is apparent. The area system will be modified by the unification of control. For instance, it is conceivable that big districts will be worked as units without regard to municipal boundaries. Then it is not doubted that local telephone services will undergo considerable development, and users of telephones, and those who would like to use them, hope that the state, working on the principle of securing efficiency at the lowest possible cost to the public, will in due time institute a revision of rates. It is claimed that the immediate result of such a policy would be still further to popularize the telephone, to make it play a greater part in the life of the country. To this end, it is believed, the scheme of development will include an extension of facilities for 'party-line' telephones, and, where possible, the gradual introduction of automatic telephones." The Daily News, speaking editorially on the same subject, remarks: "Tho it is too early to look yet for a change in telephone rates, this is a matter which must be faced at an early date. Present methods are not all they should be in this particular direction. To the user who pays a 'flat' rate there is no restriction as to his number of calls. The 'message-rate' subscriber, on the other hand, pays according to the use he makes of his instrument. Great inequalities and injustices, therefore exist at present. "The highest efficiency at the lowest possible rate is undoubtedly what the state should aim at, so that the telephone may be within the reach of practically every business man and of the average household. There is no obstacle to such an aim being realized, for the National Telephone Company's business has been acquired on terms which impose no handicap on the power of the state to extend the system to grant much greater facilities than the present, and to reduce charges so that there may be 'telephones for all.'" The example of the United States teaches the British that an extended telephone service will be of great advantage to those in the country, as the London Daily Chronicle observes in the following words: "Mr. Samuel (the manager of the telephone department) is doing a great deal to popularize the telephone in rural districts, and it requires no deep knowledge of conditions in the country to recognize that there, a great field exists to which the telephone will come as an immense boon. In the United States the farmer has fully recognized the vital importance of being 'on the telephone'; already there are more farmer subscribers there than there are subscribers of all classes in this country. Rural people have been rather apt to think that the 'phone' is a trouble-saving device for the use of town-dwellers; but the American farmer has discovered the enormous advantage he reaps in being kept in much closer touch with market movements than he otherwise would be; delays of all kinds and long journeys are avoided, and weather reports reach him in time to be of the greatest value. It will, therefore, be well for our agriculture if British farmers take advantage of the very favorable terms which the post-office offers them." --- Attorneys Attention! Send your Legal Notices to to The Seattle Republican and be a Good Fellow CALL MAIN 305 423 EPLER BLOCK POLITICS AND POLITICIANS In announcing my eandidaey for the position of mayor of the city of Seattle, I do so with a full consciousness of the mistakes of the past and in the hope that I may profit by them in the future, to the extent, at least, that there shall be no recurrence of them, and make this announcement, feeling that the public is entitled to know speefically what each candidate will, if elected, represent. To that end I pledge myself to the following course: First—I shall, to the fullest extent that my office allows, en- deavor to check the riot of official extravagance which has been tole- rated by the administration of the last year, with the result that the city is at the present time overdrawn, when it shoul be upon the most solid financial basis, and I believe that the most stringent measures should be taken to suppress unlawful diversion of funds and to re- duce in every possible way taxation in the future, and while there are other issues of great importance, I believe that that of a redue- tion of taxation is the most vital to the city, and I always did so be- lieve, from the standpoint of the city’s future prosperity. Lower Tax a Delusion. The city records will show that what was an apparent slight re- duction made in the tax levy for the year 1911 has already been over- come by deficit-creating ordinances, which have passed by unchal- , 7 a ae gy me, 7 t a as eh ee ee ia? : a , j si | a : : HIRAM CHARLES GILL lenged, to increase the burden of indebtedness for the next year. Second—I believe that the interests of the city have been gross- ly betrayed by the refusal of the present administration to put in effect a system of municipal garbage collection by the city and the diversion of funds, which were levied for that specifie purpose, to other uses, I pledge myself to install a free system of municipal gar- bage collection for the benefit of all the people of the city and to the abrogation of any unlawful contracts made for its collection by pri- vate citizens. Garbage Funds Diverted. The city voted and there became available in March, 1911, over $400,000 for the purpose of installing this system of garbage collec- tion. The present administration shamelessly disregarded the vote of the people, let the collection out by contract at an immense profit, and has diverted the funds to other uses. I wuld see that they are restored for their proper purpose. The people of the whole city voted for the installation of a mun- icipally owned street car line through the Rainier district of the city, Through the failure of the present mayor to proclaim the charter amendment, the validity of those bonds has been questioned. Their validity should long ago have been determined, and, if invalid, the question should again have been submitted. J will cause these bonds to be sold, if valid, and if invalid, I will speedily have that fact determined and cause a resubmission of the bond issue. Pledged to Municipal Railway. fersonaiy, 1 VEMeVe Whe YNONGS ale Perrectly Sood, abd that wile failure to attempt so far to determine their validity has been a wan- ton betrayal of the interest of the people of the Rainier district and a total disregard of pledges made by those who might have by this time installed the line and had it in operation, and I pledge myself to procure the installation and operation of the line at the earliest possible moment. In passing it is only fair to say that I believe any agitation for general municipal ownership of the street car lines of the city at the present time is unwise and made only for political purposes. Any possible acquisition of the lines of the Seattle Electric Com- pany at this time is a financial impossibility, unless the constitution of the state is amended. When that is done, I will be prepared to state my position with reference to general municipal ownership of the street car lines. At present the agitation is unwise. Favors Independent Telephone. Third—The passage of the last legislature of the state of the so- called public utilities act has taken from the city all control over its franchise, and while previous to the passage of that act I believe that the city could cope with the telephone situation itself, I now believe that the ownership by the city of a telephone system of its own is an imperative necessity, and for that reason I am unalterably opposed to and will refuse to sanction any merger of the Independ- ent system with the Sunset, and believe that the city should, at the earliest possible moment (and there is in my opinion no legal obsta- cle), install a system of its own. If the Independent telephone system does not propose to com- ply with the terms of the franchise which it accepted from the city, I would forfeit its franchise and utilize its plant, if possible. If not, I would attempt to devise ways and means to install our own system, we having at the present time in use as light poles the nucleus of the necessary pole systems and having conduits throughout all of the business districts. For Business Administration. I believe that the city is entitled to a broad gauge, liberal busi- ness administration of all its affairs, and I will endeavor to conduct such an administration. This city’s greatest source of prosperity has been derived from Alaska and its inhabitants. Its inhabitants have been driven away from the city and with them have gone their business, until today our trade with Alaska i sbut a shadow of the former substance, and this is true not only of Alaska, but of neighboring cities. No wide- open town nor anything approximating it will be permitted, but that degree of liberty to which all are entitled will be allowed to every citizen so far as I can allow it. Will Name Cudihee Chief. It is my intention to appoint the Hon, Ed Cudihee, formerly sheriff, as chief of police, and to him will be intrusted the conduct of that department. I make this the only pledge which I have made or will make with reference to any official, for the reason that I be- lieve that the police questions of the city are, with many, paramount, and I believe the publie is entitled to know my intention in that re- gard. As to all other officials over whom I have had any control my mind is free and will be on the day when I take my seat, if elect- ed mayor, and as to those who are in office, irrespective of any per- sonal feelings which I might have, the rule of fitness shall be the only rule I know. I shall cause the immediate installation of the large dam of the water plant. The money for this dam was available in the spring of 1911 and the dam should have been installed, and could have been installed, during the past summer, so as to have obviated the water famine which we have experienced. If I am elected mayor it will be installed during the summer of 1912. I will aid in every manner possible both the Duwamish and Washington waterways, having advocated both from their inception and having in my campaign speeches in the spring of 1910 first ad- yocated municipal docks for the city, which I still believe and ad- voeate.

Barnum, America’s greatest hypnotist and exponent of practical psychology, will give hypnotic exhibitions at the Seattle Theatre all next week, beginning with the matinee Sunday. The mind of a hypnotized person can en- tertain but one idea at a time, and conse- quently what idea is put before him is seized upon with all the force and earnestness of his being. If a bashful youth is told while hypnotized that he is a great orator he at once acts on that suggestion, and that one idea takes possession of him. He sees an imaginary audience, puts forth all his en- ergy in addressing it, and actually talks and gesticulates like a finished speaker. In like manner, if told that he is a man of rubber, he is wholly possessed of that thought, and it becomes an actual fact to him. He will pull out his ears and nose to a great length, and if they happen to snap back in his imag- ination, he will make a wry face and jump with pain. If told that he is listening to a funny story he will laugh immoderately. Tell him of a sad one and tears will flow down his cheeks, though the moment before he was shaking with laughter. Barnum’s performances are permeated with fun, but there is also the instructive side. j Turn away! Turn away! Turn away! He can’t land!” But Wilson sits in silence, in a dull, dark dock, Imprisoned in a secret that he won't unlock; And his nerves must be in tatters from the short, sharp shock That he gets as old “Marse Henry” starts to knock, knock, knock! —New York Evening Sun.
