ALL COONS LOOKED
ALIKE LO HIM, BUT?
(United Pre** Telegraph-Cable Service.)
Seattle, Jan., 14 ? Richard Mansfield White prominent
member of the Arctic Brotherhood is to be expelled from
the membership of the Commercial club tonight. The Com
mercial club b ona of the leading institutions j)f Seattle,
composed of active young business men. The charge against
Mr. White id conduct unbecoming a gentleman and a
member of the club. The action was formally determined
\
upon at a former meeting.
When the bevy of Hawaiian girls visited the city a few
weekB ago they entertained the Commercial club at an open
session, rendering of a number of their native songs
and the chaporone made an address on the beauties of their
island home.
Subsequently the club returned the compliment, tend
ering the ladies a banquet. Mr. White was down on the
program tor a song and when it came his turn created a
sensation by singing "All Coons Look Alike to Me".
- The club and the visitors carried the thing off with
what countenance they could, but White was a dead one
from that moment. At the next meeting of the club it was
decided unanimously that he had committed the unpardon
able sin.
Accordingly the club met and determined that only one
course lay before them ? to formally expell him.
Mr. White has been one of the most active members of
the club, and one of the most radical and probably the most
frequently heard in its discussions.
Mr. White is a brother of Standford White of the fam
ous Thaw case now on trial in New Vork. He went to Al
aska in 1897 with the most elaborate outfit that ever went
north. His destination had been the Klondike but reach ?
ing Skagway he went no further.
Mr. White is very well remembered in Skagway. He
resided here several years and took an active part in the
early development of the city. He was a man of somej
means and did not eagage in business and was considered
something of a mystery here. However he was always es
teemed as a cultured gentleman.

Graphic Story of the
Bell-Cochrane Duel
The Seattle Star ? which, by the way,
stems to hare cooped its great com
petitor, the Timts, oo this story? gives
the following detailed account of the
3uel between Frank Cochrane and
Prank Bell? which took place in San
Francisco on the 6th inst. as printed in
the Alaskan at the lime. The Star
under a San Francisco date says:
A duel to the death was fought last
night in a Sansome street saloon be
tween Frank Cochrane, an o'd time
gambler, acd Frank R. Bell, a capital
ist. Both resided at Seattle. When
six shots bad been exchanged Cochrane
fell dead in the arms of Charles Cad
lem, the bartender, after stumbling
over the unconscious form of his antag
onist, whijh lay near the table, mortal
ly pierced by three bullets. The tragic
battle wae caused by Bell's alleged at
tentions to Ella Cochrane, the young
and beautiful wife of the dead man.
The men met at the corner of Mar
ket and Sansome s'reets, and according
to the story of Jesse Durjea, Bell's
chauffeur, Cochrane invited bis enemy
into Harry Eichelberger's saloon to
talk over their differences.
Retiring to a side room, the men
seated themselves at a. small table. A
moment later Bell was he<trd to say:
? You put your hands on the table
and 1 will do the same."
The silcnce that followed was shat
tered by the sharp cracking of revolv
?rs, and after six (hots rang out Bell
fell to the floor.
Still clutching bis smoking revolver,
Cochrane staggered over the prostrate
'orm of his antagonist, advanced to
ward the middle of the saloon and fell
lead in the arms of the bartander.
Bell lies at the Central Emergency
lospital in a critical condition.
Bell and Cochrane arn from Seattle.
(Vhile Cochrane, who was a faro deal
?r, was in Juneau, Alaska, Bell met a
foman signing herself as Ella Cccb
?ane. Cochrane later went to Go'd
ield, when Mrs. Cochrane came to this
sity. Upon the return of Cochrane to
3eattle, he learned that his wife had
seen to this city. He came here two
weeks ago to kill Bell, and the attempt
ie made yesterday was fatal to himself.
It was Bell's ability to otYer Ella
Cochrane the use of a machine that
Jrat attracted her attention, She met
him ia Seattle la front of a cheap thea
ter, and after permitting him to enter
tain her, w^ote to Cochrane of the
chRnce acquaintance.
The Star adds:
The only Frank R. Bell known to
residents in Seattle is Frank R. Boll of
the Bell Investment company, who wag
last summer injured in an automobile
accident on a county road south of the
city. At the time of the accident Mr.
Bell was rioing with a woman who,
with Bell, was injured. Both were
taken to the Providence hospital,
where the woman's name was given as
Mrs. Bell. Later it developed, how
ever, that the wife of Mr. Bell was ia
the east.
The Post-Intelligencer says that the
Frank Bell figuring in the tragedy is
Frank R. Bell of the Bell Real Estate
& Investment company, with offices in
the Amer can Bank building.
