ance will be forcibly impressed upon
the council through messages from
time to time"
The message concluded with trib-
ute to the present council as one of
the best Spokane has seen, and the
statement that shortcomings of the
message were due to it's being dictat-
ed from a sick bed.
BURCH DEFENDS BLACKsMrTHs.
Councilman Burch took exception
to that part of the message that
spoke sluringly of the blacksmith
serving as a city commissioner and
bounding to his feet said: 1T is no
disgrace, gentlemen, to be a black
| smith The grandest man this coun-
try ever had was railsplitter. That's
ALL" and Mr.. Burch sat down as
I quickly as he had risen.
Before adjourning the council chose
City Clerk Fleming and his assistant,
Miss Gardner, to succeed themselves
for the coming year.
MAYOR BYRNE's FAREWELL.
Mayor Byrne addressed the old
council just before they adjourned,
saying, in part
"Originally 1 intended to say moth
ing at this time, but have decided to
say few words. ! leave the position
of mayor with regret, having the sat
isfaction of knowing that, although
have had differences with the coun-
Gil, everybody has done his best to
give the best administration possible.
The result has been what all desired
"a good, clean, upright administra-
ton.
when I assumed of1ice two years
ago times were hard, and the great
cry was to reduce expenses. and the
expenses were reduced. During that
time have seen $125, 900 of the pub
lie indebtedness paid; $35 900 in back
taxes has been paid; not a damage
suit has been lost by the city and at
slight cost many ugly suits were ad-
justed. The city has never been so
prosperous and from the present out
look 1 anticipate seeing from $4,000
to $25. 600 in back taxes collected dur
ing the coming year. For these con-
ditions / think the council and my
self can well feel pleased.
LAS to the new mayor he IS COM
petent and worthy, and l feel that in
two years from now the city will feel
proud of Mr.. Boyd. He is capable and
will prove worthy of their pride"
(Applause,)
PRESIDENT HANDS SPEECH.
Mr.. Hand, the retiring president of
the city council, also received earnest
applause for the short speech that he
made. In part he said: You, the
members of the council, have contrib
uted to the success of the council
just ending office, and it is pleasure
to me to have been a member of that
council. While at times we criticized
one another the criticism was always
with the kiniliest feeling AS for the
incoming council I also have the kind
Hest feeling for it and believe it will
meet with the greatest success"
In assuming the presidency of the
council Mr.. Baldwin spoke briefly,
saying: 1T is n duty and pleasure
to extend thanks to the council for
this honor. 1t shall be my purpose
to preside over the deliberations in
n fair and judicial manner"

The government believes the commits

time a number of persons were exc mined.
1t was found that several witnesses tes
tilted falsely before the court which tried
Dreyfus. The statement ends as follows:
