INDICT THREE
FOR SHAN6HAIN6
Captain of Alaska Fishing Vessel
Kicked the Teeth Out of Two
, of the Men.
* /
SEATTLE, March 9—The federal
grand jury today returned indictment!*
against Captain Henry Bune, of the
Northwestern Fisheries vessel, the
Guy Goss, and also against Kikutake,
a Jap cannery contractor and against
one other whose name is not disclos
ed. he men are charged with hav- |
ing shanghaied four men last sum
mer.
The story told the jury by the men
was one of the most harrowing tales
heard in this city in many years. The
four white men were taken aboard the
ship, forced to sleep with the Chinese
and the hogs in the most indescrib
able filth. They were paid four bits
a day and received a can of tomatoes
and a pint of w ter each day. When
they protested they were placed in
irons, kicked and beaten until nearly
dead and then again forced to work.
Several of the men had all their front
teeth out, as they had been kicked
in the face by the captain.
The federal authorities are determ
ined to stop the practice of shang
haing men from this and other coast
cities for the Alaska cannery trade,
and have detailed a number of secret
service men to bring the guilty men
to justice. Special agent of the de
partment will be sent to Alaska to
make arrests during the summer of
any master of a vessel who has not
a regularly signed crew.

Former Marshal Jacoby.
SEATTLE, March 9.—Chief of Po
lice Bannick, who has held the posi
tion for the past few years under the
Cotterill administration, today sent
his resignation to Mayor Cotterill as
chief of the police force and will re

that former United States Marshal
Jacoby, of the western division of
Washington, who was removed by the
attorney general to make room for a
Democrat, is to be appointed chief
of police by Gill and has accepted
the position.
Several other applicants for the po
sition are making every effort to se
cure the appointment from Mayor
elect Gill, but so far no announcement
has been made.
