GRAFT EXPOSE
TURNS SEATTLE
SEATTLE, Oct. 15.—A municipal
scandal involving alleged graft impli
cating the police department, bootleg
gers, proprietors of houses of ill re
pute and even touching the county
sheriff’s office, has been sprung during
the last 24 hours.
The upheaval started yesterday
when the Daily Times, which has long
supported the present city administra
tion or remained silent on certain
charges, last evening in a double col
umn front page article virtually set
forts the facts that every form of vice
was flourishing in the city of Seattle,
picturing the situation not unlike that
which occurred during the last days
of the Wappenstein reign. '
Today it was claimed that' the rot
tenness in the city is a play between
the “wets” and “drys,” with Mayor
Gill in the leading role.
This forenoon Mayor Gill stated
that the breweries were trying to
discredit his administration because
of the speeches against the so-called
“hotel and brewery bills” pending at
the coming election. He also stated
that the dry forces were doing every
thing to thwart justice.
Another Sensation Sprung.
Following closely on these sensa
tions another one was sprung when
Sergeant Putnam, head of the dry
squad, openly charged that 300 boot
leggers and a large number of gam
bling places and also a score of negro
clubs were running openly with the
full knowledge of the Seattle police
department.
Sergeant Putman also announced
that at least $50,000 a month was be
ing paid to some one by the gamblers,
bootleggers and the proprietresses of
bawdy houses which are also flourish
ing in a wide open extent.
Margett Is Arrested.
On top of this expose, the informa
tion was given out this afternoon that
the dry squad made a big raid on a
bootleg warehouse early this morning,
on First Avenue South, arresting
former policeman Edward J. Margett
and from whose possession they took
200 quarts of whiskey which had been

thorities as a measureof reprisal, says
the Overseas News Agency, had sent
10,000 French prisoners of war into
the parts of Russia occupied by the
Prussians because Prussian prisoners
had been sent by the French to Moroc

authorities having now ordered these

agency says, has fulfilled its aim and

shipped from San Francisco. Margett
was abloze with diamonds and had
over $2,400 in cash in his possession.
Earlier last evening another 100 cases
were seized which was located' in a
south of Jackson street resort also
supposed to have been owned by Mar
gett. Margett for years has been the
alleged chum of Mayor Gill.
“Collector” Is Jailed.
Margett is held in the city jail on
an open charge. He was dismissed
from the force two months ago when
he is claimed to have tipped off the
raid on Clarence- Gerald's cafe.
S. G. Lindon, known as “Peanuts,”
for many months head of a syndicate
collecting tribute from violators of the
law, especially from the underworld,
was jailed at noon today, following an
expose of conditions in the tenderloin.
More Whiskey Seized.
SEATTLE, Oct. 11.—Early this
morning the police seized a dray, al
leged to have been stolen from the
Central Garage last night, at Twenty
sixth avenue and Jackson street which
contained 48 cases of whiskey. The
dray was being driven by Harry
Smith, one of the chauffeurs for the
Billingsley brothers.

He Had No Bank Account
He had some money—but he had no Bank Ac
count. He could not see the need of one. He
had a splendid chance to enlarge his business
and make big money. He had not enough cash
on hand. He was unable to borrow any from a
Bank, because as he kept no Bank Account the
Bank knew nothing about his financial respon
sibility.
