' An Attempt
to Assassinate
Commission Man
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
An attempt to assassinate J. M.
| Jarvis, timber inspector for the Alas
■ka railroad commission, was made
about 0:20 o’clock last night by two
unidentified men who put some ex
plosives, believed by the police to be
dynamite, under his home at Oil
West Sixtieth street. The west por
tion of the house was badly damaged
by the explosion. Jarvis was the on
ly occupant of the house and he was
uninjured.
Two men in a seven-passenger au
tomobile were seen to leave the vi
cinity. at a high rate of speed before
the explosives went off. The machine
was fully a mile away from the Jarvis
home when the explosion occurred
and the would-be assassins had made
good their escape when policemen
from the Ballard sub-station and de
tectives from the central station ar
rived on the scene.
The motive for the dynamiting
could not be determined by the police
last night. Mr. Jarvis said that dur
ing the past few days he had been
| assisting in the employment of men
; for work on the railroad and there
i was a minor disturbance at the Bell
| street dock yesterday morning, where
the applications for work are being
received. Jarvis suspects a man
whom he ejected from the office yes
terday morning.
There was an unusually large
crowd of men lined up in front of the
office yesterday morning to put in
their applications for work. The men
endeavored to crowd into the office
land Mr. Jarvis was instructed to
push the men back. Charges of fa
voritism were made, but Jarvis did
not consider the incident seriously un
til after the explosion last night.
Jarvis said he had just finished
writing a letter in the parlor of his
home and was going into the bedroom
when he heard someone running from
his yard. Previously he had heard the
whirr of an automobile in front of his
home. He did not investigate, as he
thought some of the boys of the
neighborhood had crossed his yard on
their way to a house in the rear.
Jarvis believes it was about four or I
five minutes later when the explosion i
came. He was seated on his bed and
the crash sent him whirling on his
back. The windows on the east side
of the house were broken and a por
tion of the foundation was torn away
but the house was not wrecked.
Howard Harp, of 6306 Fourteenth
avenue northwest, and Lawrence
Fourmont, of 851 West Sixty-seconc
street, were standing on the comer oi
Ninth avenue northwest and West
Sixty-second street when the automo
bile carrying the two men sped past
them. All the lamps on the machine
were dark and this, combined with
the high speed of the car, aroused the
suspicions of Harp and Fourmont. A
few minutes later they heard the ex
plosion. They were unable to give a
description of the men in the car or
to catch the license number.
Suspect Very Nervous.
George Beckwith, proprietor of a
drug store at 6300 Fourteenth avenue
northwest, reported to City Detect
ive Ben Corneilson that an automobile
drove up in front of his pharmacy
about ten minutes before the explo
sion and one of two men came in and
bought some cigarettes. Beckwith
said the man was very nervous and
excited and seemed to be in a great
hurry. The other man remained in
the car and kept the engine going.
Mr. Beckwith did not notice which
direction the car took after leaving
the store. The druggist gave an ac
curate description of the man to the
police and Mrs. Beckwith, who saw
the man in the machine from a win
dow upstairs, described him.
Detectives believe these are the
same men who were seen leaving the
Jarvis home after the explosion.
“The only persons whom I have any
reason to suspect are the men whom 1
pushed out of the office at the dock
this morning,” said Jarvis.
Mrs. Jarvis and her two children
are in the east.
Louis Goyette, who was out on a
,$5,000 bond on the charge of shoot
ing his partner near Fairbanks, has
again been taken into custody on an
other charge of shooting with attempt
to kill, the charge being preferred by
Martin Smith, at whom Goyette shot
twice, but missed.
Northwest Mounted Police have
been patrolling the White Pass docks
at Whitehorse to prevent interference
by the : triking longshoremen with the
Russians and Indians who have taken
their places. A detachment of the
Northwest Mounted should be sent to
