SEATTLE, March 4.—Sensations
expected to develop in the trial or
Gill, Beckingham and others will
pack the court when before the fed
eral judge the case is called on
Tuesday next. Both sides claim
confidence and Gill is very resolute
in his declarations of a frame-up.
There can hardly be any doubt that
tremendous influence is being ex
erted to kill off Gill and powerful
interests are backing the prosecu
tion ever sincet Gill’s statement in
regard to-the Everett riots. Over one
hundred witnesses will be called
and the hearing will consume many
weeks.
Patrolman Mullen pleaded guilty
to intimidating witness Decker. He
said that Beckingham promised him
five hundred dollars and a police
Sergeant’s job if he could induce
Billingsley to leave the city.
The best side of the Gill defense
is the high standing which Billings
ley the notorious criminal now en
joys by reason of his volunteering
testimony to get Gill and Becking
ham. All the blind piggers who
suffered at Gill’s hands are gloating
over the prospects of railroading
him on graft charges and bets are
freely made that this will be done.
Papers have been cheerfully try
ing to work up a sentiment which
would make the Gill conviction be
more easy. In this they have only
partially succeeded, but they are
still at it.

FOUR AMERICANS ARE
AMONG THE SURVIVORS
LONDON, March 4.—Among the
survivors of the steamer Belgier
which was submarined were four
Americans; they were landed here
today.
Four American steamers reached
port today with a variety of car
goes. They report not being mol
ested by any U boats nor did they
see any.
It is believed that the submarines
have orders not to attack American
ships for the present although this
is merely conjecture.
London press comment thinks that
an outbreak of hostilities between
the United States and Germany is
only a matter of time.
POSTPONE MANDAMUS
PROCEEDINGS TUESDAY
JUNEAU, March 3.—At two this
afternoon (Saturday) the manda
mus proceedings were postponed
until Tuesday next.
The reason for the delay was that;
District Attorney Smizer who was
engaged by the canvassing board
stated that he was not qualified to
appear, probably sharing file view
that the opinion given by Grigsby is
correct. Technically it is slated to
be the official work of Grigsby, but
the board having asked and then
refused to abide by his legal advice,
it is impossible to obtain his assist
ance.
This afternoon when court con
V '
vened, an appearance was put in fiy
the board with a request lor the
postponement that the hoard might
be suitably represented by compe
tent counsel,
JUNEAU, March 3.—The demo
cratic members of the canvassing
board, it is now certain
may have to fall back on
Cobb or a republican to re
present them before the District
court to oppose the Sulzer manda
mus proceedings to show cause why
a certificate of election should not
be given him.
