Among other telegrams and letters which passed between A. J. Blethen and C. W. Wappensteln are the two following: POSTAL TEL. 00. 80) op 17 Ad Chg. Seattle, Sept. 26. O. W.

Times. t Seattle, Washington, Sept. 24, 1010. My dear Wapp:— . As I know that y.u will stop at Portland and at the Oregon, I I am writing you this letter as a substitute for a night telegram I had prepared Friday night for you, but which Inadvertently got into the mail instead of into the Postal Telegraph. The telegram exceeded one hundred words and therefore was billed to go as a "lettergram." When I found the error this morning I wired you a few words telling you to call me by telephone in Portland when you arrived and tills I hope you wIU not fall to do for the following reasons:— I.— had not been out of town forty-eight hours before War dell started in to clean up the —and he had the help of every enemy which Gill and yourself have made since this present admin istration took office. —Wardell first notified Berryman to close his dance hall in the tenderloin district, as it was a nuisance— tbe notice through Mike Powers and inferring that the Sheriff would raid the place that night if the poUce didn't, and .ml. 11 didn't propose to allow the Sheriff the opportunity. B—They called me by telephone for advice and I promptly laid out a plan for them to pursue, which they followed to the letter and so far have escaped difficulty. —I told them to obey the order of Powers without fail unless the Mayor receded after I had interviewed Hodge and Hodge had denounced the whole proposition as a falsehood. B.When I obtained the latter information, however, I went after Powers, and he said his orders were positive from WardeU and be didn't think the Acting Mayor was moved by any information from the Sheriff's office. Therefore the report coming to mc must have been untrue, though Berryman said Powers had told him. I then advised them by all means not to open up the next morn ing, but to go before the Courts and get the hearing, which they did. Judge Gilliam issuing a restraining order by demanding that the case be beard todaybut the outcome will not be known until this afternoonand in the meantime they have opened their house for three consecutive nights, in spite of Wardall. ;, I enclose herewith statements made by Wardall denouncing you by inuendo, if not directly, as they will save me writing the facts but you should read them carefully. Yesterday afternoon Bralnerd had Wardall in his office and de manded that he remove you by appointing Bennett as' Chief of Police, which he promptly refused, alleging that to accept such a po sition would be to sacrifice his Captaincy and that he would not do. I think WardaU began to feel a little shaky about Ills upheaval work, and concluded that Mike Powers would do for a while, but to day Mike Powers has raised the devil against Wardall and very likely ho my be removed before Gill gets back. Now if you appear in this city any time before Gill returns, Wardall will remove you and then your enemies will'do all in their power to keep you out after Gill returns. Hence Ido not want that ■ to occur as I do not believe he can legally remove you during your absence. Now I have given yon sufficient Information to put you entirely on your guard and if you will keep in touch with mo by long distance telephone until I give the word, you wiU very much oblige your per sonal friends. ... ... • I will not go into detail yet as to the charge Hodge has made against you to Bobby Boyce, and 'who came to me in great distress - night before lost, claiming that he had positive proof that you were , the greatest grafter on the face of the earth and that you were lead ing GUI straight own to destruction. I also enclose a clipping from today's paper which is a letter Wardall sent me night before last, and simply to show you that WardaU is attempting to turn all of his charges against you for your return.'- ;- xyy ■-•-■ Respectfully, * a_^ XXX^ ' ' .'■ (Signed) A.

WASHINGTON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 24,1911. Congress-Has Power to Curb Supreme Court Progressives Will Undertake to Set Bounds for the Court. WASHINGTON. D. C, May 3 4.—Can congress curb the su preme court? An affirmative answer to this question has been worked out in the councils of the progressive members of the senate and house of representatives. And the remedies are to be applied. There will probably be a bitter fight, but the remedy will be applied If progressive republicans and democrats remain In sower. Section 2of Article 111 of the constitution of the United States is to be invoked —for the second time in history. This section defines and limits the powers of the supreme court and the last paragraph reads: "In all the other cases, before mentioned, the su preme court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions and under such reg ulations as the congress shall make." Applying this power of congress it is proposed to Introduce and pass two bills. -yf ■' 1) A bill adding to the Sherman anti-trust act this simple amendment: "Of whatever character." These words are to fol low the words prohibiting- restraint of trade and are Intend ed to do away with the word "reasonable,'.' which has been read into the Jaw tby the ! supreme court. 2) A bill providing that no law shall be declared to bo un constitutional by the supreme court except by the unanimous vote of all nine supreme court justices. The power of congress to regu late the supreme court has been so long neglected that 'It has been almost forgotten .Few peo ple realise that the constitution reposes such power ln the repre sentatives of the people.. Such, however, Is the fact. It is not contended by. pro gressives ln congress that tbe second of the two proposed meas ures would prevent decisions like the Standard Oil decision, *in which the supreme court usurps the legislative power and reads words into the statute. ' Such an act, however, would place j a wholesome check upon the su preme court and would head off any: attempt by ' : the supreme court to nullify the Sherman anti trust law when the law had been again vitalized by a congressional declaration eliminating the word "reasonable." Another proposition which Is under consideration by progres sive senators and representatives Is the drafting of an entirely new and lon clad law for the regula tion of trusts similar to the Brit ish "Companies Acts."

Blethen, editor of the Seattle Times, who was indicted by the grand Jury yesterday, today made the following statement to the United Press: "The cause of this entire up heaval, resulting in the calling of a grand Jury and the finding of indictments against me and the managing editor, the city editor and the Times Publishing com pany, lay in the election of Hiram Gill as mayor ln March, 1010, as he ran upon a platform demand ing the re-establishment of the restricted district—and the plac ing* of the same in the Second ward. "As the Times was the only newspaper that supported Gill for the mayoralty when his adminis tration was attacked It fell to the Times to defend him and incident ally his chief of police. "When Gill was lnvelghled from the city on a twelve days' voyage, after he had given the chief leave of absence for a like period, and Wardall had started the upheaval of an investigation, immediately charging the chief of police with graft; threatened his removal and the same was wired to him by Mr. Boyce, the mayor's private secre tary, it naturally followed that Wappensteln should wire to me for the facts and ask whether he should return to Seattle at once or not. "Hence my letter to Wappen stein, which was reproduced In the Post-Intelligencer this morn ing. Wanted to Boat Wardall. "I was determined that War dall should not get the chief of police within his Jurisdiction be cause by keeping him out, War dall could not remove .him,'since he could only remove the man he found In charge, and that was Inspector Powers, whb' had been named as temporary chief . when Wappenstein was- allowed to go south by the mayor,* "Incidentally, one might Inquire IMPROVEMENT CLUBS ARE AFTER SEVERAL REFORMS The Central Improvement Club league met at the city hall last night with fourteen - clubs repre sented. • ' The league took up the location of the new South End High school, and named H.

"That there was no testimony before the grand Jury sufficient to warrant an Indictment Is shown by tho fact that the prosecuting at torney refused to sign the find ings of that body, until ordered to do so by the court, who, of course, acted from his interpretation of' the law, and not from bis knowl edge of what the testimony was. y "As to tho conspiracy I have only this to say: So far as I have any knowledge there was never" a cent paid to any member of the police or to any human being by the men who owned and operated that dance house by permission of the mayor—nor do I believe that a penny of money has ever been given to the chief or his assist ants, and I know that no one has ever assumed that the Times ever received a penny from any human being for anything that was not absolutely earned In a proper way., "That Dr. Matthews has played, Into the hands of the Post-Intelli gencer for the purpose of political revenge may or may not have been an accident.
