The companj had most' of its employes out, in addition to several crews of men, shoveling snow from the tracks, where a ldg J >ad scraper was also used, and Olyin | piana wi re furnished stret car serv j ice when residents of Seattle and Ta j coma had to walk. Few persons ven tured out during the day, deliveries | of all kinds were practically halted lor carried on at long intervals and i with great difficulty. School attend ance throughout the city fell off re markably, while in several of the I country districts the schools were dispensed with temporarily. Several lluililings Collapse. The heavy rain Tuesday afternoon ' and night, falling in the heavy cover ing of wet snow, and the added weight of Wednesday's storm, made the white blanket very soggy and un usually heavy, and various property- i owners feared for the roofs of their buildings. Several cave-ins were reported, one being the barn on Columbia street occupied by George Webb's livery stable, which caved in early Thursday morning, but all the horses were removed uninjured. The heavy weight of snow caused the marquise on the front of the new Central building on Washington street to collapse Wednesday after noon, though without causing any other damage or injuring anyone. This was a warning to owners of oth er business buildings and in a short time heavy braces were placed under all the wooden awnings in the city. The roof of one of the sheds at the Olympia Door company also collapsed Wednesday afternoon from the weight of the snow, but the extent of the damage will not be known until the snow is cleared away, as the shed was filled with lumber and it is im possible to tell whether this is dam aged or not. At about the same time the roof on the roundhouse at the plant of the Capital City Iron Works, not far from the Door company, par tially collapsed, being caught and held by the interior supports. A boathouse or two along the water front foundered with their heavy burden, while several launches, moored at dlcerent points along the harbor, either keeled over or were entirely submerged. The open-face clocks on the statehouse and the Odd Fellows' building were put out of commission by the storm and snow, and reports of collapsed buildings aer received from dicerent parts of the county. The snowfall of the present sea son, totalling practically three feet during the last six weeks, with a record of nearly a foot and a half this week, is the worst that Western Washington has experienced for years, and recalls to old-timers the ■ix-foot snow of 1880. This season's snowfall Is the heaviest in the 20 /ears' history of the local weather bureau, which recorded a fall of 29 inches in January, 1899, that lasted 11 days, and one of 23.5 inches in January, 1909, which lasted Just a week. Three years ago 17.6 inches of mow fell. Worse Down-Sound. In spite of the heavy snow here, Olympia and the country immediate ly surrounding fared somewhat bet ter than the down-Sound districts. Nearly a foot of snow fell in Tacoma Wednesday while Seattle reported more than a foot and a half, which practically blocked all traffic, drove the jitneys to shelter and almost tied up the street car service, the great est effort making it possible to keep open only a few lines. Transcontinental trains were de layed 24 hours or more, and then pulled over the mountains in sections, five engines being necessary in one instance to move two passenger coaches. In the vicinity of the Stam pede tunnel a 60-foot snow is report ed and a 55-mile gale practically halted all traffic. Portland reported a "silver thaw," wires, trees and buildings being encased in ice, with the downtown streets seas of slush. Wednesday night all traffic over the mountains was abandoned, the North ern Pacific, over which both the Mil waukee and Great Northern had been routing trains, being unable to make any headway against the snow with a big battery of rotaries. The West ern Washington lines, however, were all open, trains being operated almost on schedule on both the Gray's Har bor and Seattle-Portland lines. The greatest loss occasioned by the snow in any city is reported from Se attle, where the great dome of St. James' cathedral, at Ninth avenue and Marion street, collapsed Wednes day afternoon. The accumulation of snow about the base of the high arches is blamed for the accident, which did damage estimated between $65,000 and $75,000.

GILLIES CASE GOES TO JURY LATE THURSDAY. (Continued from page 1.) he had some slight financial dealings with Gillies. He said he induced Gil lies to invest (500 in a prospecting venture in British Columbia. A man by the name of B. O. Erickson was financed and went into the wilds of British Columbia to stake out claims. Two claims were staked for Gillies. This money was paid in SIOO install ments either to Erickson himself or to Ernst, the witness testified. The other financial dealing was a loan of SSO. The sum of S3O was loaned outright at one time and (fil lies later purchased S2O worth of oil stock for Ernst. He was to be reim bursed by Ernat later, and Ernst said in November he repaid the entire SSO. In detailing hla relations with Stone, Gillies said he first met him Thanksgiving, 1914, in Reams' sa loon. Shortly after that he said he saw Stone and later made the propo sition that Gillies enter the fishing venture with him. Later Stone paid out money for claimants that were "broke," and these disbursements were made good when the claimants cashed their warrants. It was not infrequent that Gillies himself paid out of his own pocket various small sums for claimants and later was paid back by the men, the witness testi fied. In a large number of instances be played the role of "good Samari tan" and went good for their board and lodging until they could get their warrants. From this time on relations became more involved. Gillies loaned Stone money and took an interest in the fishing business. A portion of the money was repaid, but some is still owing, Gillies said. "He owes me money," he testified. When questioned concerning each specific bogus accident claim, Gillies said he had no direct memory of the claimant, although notations were made on the warrant register show ing that he delivered the warrants to the claimants. The only exception to this was in the "John Stark" case. He testified a man purporting to be Stark appeared In the office Novem ber 3 with his left hand done up in a black bandage. Gillies said he sent the man to Dr. Mowell's office and later delivered the warrant to him. It was the suspicious circumstances of Stark's appearance that led to the expose of the graft on the state acci dent fund last November. Gillies Is Disputed. To throw further light on the Stark episode, the state. In rebuttal, put the present claim agent, Connery, on the stand Wednesday, and he testi fied that he watched Gillies on No vember 4, 1915, and saw him leave the statehouse building with the John Stark warrant in his pocket, although Gillies had previously testi fied that he had handed the warrant to a man purporting to be Stark in the ante-room of the industrial in surance office, and the man quibbled over the amount of the award. Connery said his suspicions had first been aroused a month or so pre vious, when the Willis Martin claim came in. The Martin claim is one of the fictitious ones. ' 1.. I. 11. Xo. 137.
