Beggars Spread Across Seattle In Early Winter Wave
The city faces a growing beggar problem with a chorus of seasonal figures. A man with chloroform breath requests 16 cents for a meal, another seeks a night's lodging, and a calked-arm vagrant tours suburbs exploiting sympathies.

The piece asks who needs correction more, the beggars or the donors, noting city welfare options and urging against giving to fakirs.
