EFFORT TO SAVE ROYS AROUSES TACOMA mW ■ ———— Man Who Did Crooked Work Not Caught RECALL COMMITTEE AGAIN ASSERTS THAT THEY WERE DOUBLE CROSSED IN THE IR OWN CAMP Tacomans have been thoroughly aroused over the revelations of ' crookedness shown to have been| practiced on the recall petitions! and are clamoring for further in vestigation Into the dark work, that has been going on. The facts thus far gleaned show that a deep laid plan was evident to protect Mr. Roys from the re call or at least to make It appear that few citizens desired his re moval for the moral effect it might have. The exposure of the game, however, Is reacting, and the people are demanding now that he be eliminated at all events. Roys yesterday intimated that he would waive technicalities and allow his certificate to be made sufficient by the clerk, but when the recall matter came up this morning he was mum. I-iawson and Freeland petitions were certified by Clerk Edwards and laid over for a week. Charles Drury and 11. G. Row land, who are leading the recall movement, expected he would waive technicalities and have his petition validated, but he did not do so, and they will now have to go out and get some more names. Women Mixed Up in Politics The Voters' Educational association meeting in St. Luke's par ish house called out 150 women, mostly from the North End yes terday afternoon and some clever .political maneuvering was done by those who have candidates they wish to boost. • The association Is supposed to he non-partisan and formed sim ply to study politics from an educational standpoint. But it had been heralded abroad that the association had "practically endorsed Mr. Seymour for mayor. Mrs. H. H. Johnson asked by what authority this statement was given out and demanded that It be corrected in the public prints. Mrs. Loomls and Mrs. Shores attempted to explain and it finally came out from Mrs. Shores that several members of the as sociation with other women had been invited hy Seymour to his office and they had there arranged to enter the campaign, but she said the women were there Individually and not representing the association. Mrs. Shores took occasion, how ever, to praise Seymour, declar ing that while the association had not endorsed him and could not endorse him, that, "we want you all to vote for him —that is I do." Dr. S. S. Healey, president of the association, also insisted the association could not endorse any body as a 'body, after Mrs. Mary .Warner had risen to make a mo tion that Seymour be endorsed. Mrs. Johnson brought up the anti-treating ordinance and said many women were not voting Tor It. She urged all to vote for It, "even If Mr. Seymour is opposed to It." Mrs. Shores Bald she voted for It in the morning and she gave away the fact that there was an evident movement on to kill tho antl-treatlng ordinance to boost Seymour. 1 "Why, when I said I Intended Noting for it,". said Mrs. Shores, "'immediately a half dozen were down on me saying, 'Why you will help Mr. Fawcett if you do.' " Mrs. Shores declared she would vote as her conscience dictated. The speaker of the afternoon was Mrs. Jackson Silbaugh of Se attle who came over to tell how they "cleaned up Seattle." * She said it was a long struggle. Not until it became popular to oppose HI Gill and the vice pre serves did the masses come. The W. C. T. U. was the only organi zation that entered the fight until it became popular. - Mrs. Jackson dwelt on the fact th,\t the vice issue Is the big one. She -said the "bloody dollar" is what keeps the white slave traffic going and not the passions of men and she declared the grafters in Seattle were taking $40,000 a I month from I the poor girts who paid for protection. ; Packers Lose Point; Now Nearer Prison - (By United Press Leased Wire.) : \ih ■> <„\,HICAGO, March 22. —Ten Chicago beef barons were brought measurably nearer to jail here today, ln case of their conviction for alleged* violations of the Sherman anti-trust law, when y United States Judge Carpenter overruled a demurrer to Indictments against them and declared that the,'.'immunity bath" of 1903 did not apply. -v y The packers affected are Louis,' Edward and Charles Swift, Ed {ward Tllden, 3."

He insists that the forgeries and erasures to make 'signatures on the Roys petition de fective were done In the city clerk's office, and says that In proof of it the duplicate copies he has show the correct addresses. 'When asked who had possession of the petitions from the time they were copied until they went to the city clerk he said it was Leo Hartnett, the clerk he had employed to fix them up and who failed to sign the Woods and Roys petitions and thus caused 92 names to be thrown out on them but signed up the Freeland and Lawson petitions all right. Drury says Hartnett had been employed getting up the Fawcett recall before they hired him. He declares the whole crooked mess has caused the public to become aroused, and that they will go into the recall business in earnest. Drury now Is certain that Roys and Woods petitions which had been signed were never presented to the city clerk and that this is the reason Woods and Roys fell so many below Freeland and Law son. m m ■' _■ ■■■'— ■ i - II I —————I Talk of "rigs." She made a plea for saving the boys and girls by cleaning up Ta coma. Mrs. H. A. Eastman Jumped up as Mrs. Silbaugh sat down and called to mind the statement of Mayor Fawcett before the associa tion two weeks ago, in which his son Vance had told him his anti treating ordinance would lose him 2,000 votes. The mayor replied that he did not care what votes It cost him as it was Tight and he wanted to save his four little boys. Mrs. Eastman said that would he a telling picture but she did not believe in the sincerity of the mayor, especially when he had two saloons In his building. Mrs. Silbaugh urged that in the Tacoma campaign to clean Taco ma no mud should be thrown as It will lose votes to the side throwing it. , Mrs. Healey also denounced this method of campaigning, but (bet tered the attempt of Mrs. East man by saying, "Besides, what Is the use of throwing mud at a pig who Is already covered „ln the wallow." Mayor Fawcett had some friends in the house and Mrs. Johnson and another woman made several attempts to stop the evi dent attempts of the Seymour women to boost for him. The leaders in the meeting and of ficers apparently had lined with Seymour and were determined to slap Fawcett and boost Mr. Sey mour on every occasion possible. Indications are that some mem bers of the association have be come angry regarding develop ments and they may take steps to purge the league of the political aspect which has arisen.
