AN HONEST MAN.

A Japanese woman reported to At
torney Fred Maxine that she had lost
a sack containing a check for $500 and
about 500 in cash. She thought she
had left the sack on a Beretania street
car. Maxine went in search of the car
and recovered the valuables. The driv-
er who was a Portuguese had found
the things and promptly returned them
to the owner.

French Woman Lod
Lie Of White Slave.

the society of French macques of,
this city for exposing their methods

women is given as the reason the
police department detailed Detective
McDermott this morning to serve as
q guard over. Belle Smith," "a
French Canadian woman of the cribs.
After two weeks of daily beatings
and threats that she would be muir
dered unless she became more servile
for Napoleon Dufort, the Smith worn-
an rebelled last night and trembling
ly went to the police station, her face
blackened, and told the story that led
to the arrest of Dufort. 81.
The woman has occupied crib by
night and a furnished room with Du-
fort in the Erie building, Sprague
avenue and Post street, by day. From
the start her life in Spokane has been
that of the white slave, the beatings
were of frequent occurrence, but two
weeks ago they became daily, because
she did not get sufficient earnings to
satisfy the man. Her life became a
constant nightmare of fear.
Belle Smith" told Prosecuting At
torney Kimball today that for three
years her average daily return Of
money to Dufort was $40, and during
that time she has been in constant

than the price that was bid by either
the Dixon or the DeCarie people.
Other cities have put in crematories
for as low as $4,000, and 1t seems
preposterous that t22,500 should be
the lowest figure for building a Gre
matory in Spokane, especially when
all of the materials to be used in
the building are to be procured in
the city.
At the city hall the crematory mat

sioner Root returns from his vaca-
ton trip, at which time the matter Is
again to be considered from start to
finish. Commissioner Weymouth
heretofore has favored the Dixon
plant and Commissioners Root and
Handley have favored the DeCarie
plant
The specifications agreed upon with
the DeCarie people stipulated that the
cost of burning garbage should be
not more than so cents per ton, so
that by McCrea's proposition the city
will save the expense of building a
crematory and pay no more for the
operation than if they own one.

Equalizer Funk wanted to know
why the attorney had changed his
mind since his previous appearance
before the board. but the latter
averred that he had been of the same
opinion all the time. Funk could not
understand this, and for time was
rather pointed in his remarks.

Attorney Stephens. the legal repre-
sentative of the Review Publishing
company, appeared once more before
the county board of equalization this
morning and made lengthy though
irrelevant argument for the purpose
of inducing the board to set aside the
assessment of the corporate franchise
of the newspaper concern.
The lawyer apparently lost track
entirely of the fact that the board is
not figuring on the vaiue Of the As
ISOLATED Press franchise. He made
scant reference to the Intangible
property of the paper, and whenever
reference was made TO the market
value of the property, which Chief
Justice Brewer Of the United States
supreme court said should be the ba-
sis Of valuation for assessment pur-
poses, he adroitly sidestepped.
