SPOKANE FISHERMEN
may SQU|NT At THIS

William Fl. Thompson of Fort At
kinson, Wis, was IN the city tins
morning, en- route to Victoria, Ii. c.,
where he has business interests. In
talking with representative OF the
Press at the Hotel Spokane he said
Five tons of fish were taken from
Lake koshkonong in one day! This
may sound like huge fish story, and
SO it is, but nevertheless it is true.
The big catch was Sunday, November
l. On the day before four tons of
carp were hauled from the lake. Each
day that week the catch ran from $500
pounds to 5000 pounds.
This wonderful fishing is by huge
seines. three miles long and nearly a
mile. The reason is wing to exter-
inmate the carp fish. The experiment,
which is authorized by the state of
Wisconsin, is proving huge success,
but whehn the end will come no per-
son can determine. When this lake
has been cleansed of lac fish which
has driven away the canvasback duck,
the forty men at work will move to
another lake.

themselves have arranged to hold out

THt POLICE
Have Something to Say
About Uses and Abuses
of Sewers

People in the Fourth ward are to
be given instructions by the police
department as to the proper use of
their new sewer system.
1t is not impossible that a num-
Der of signs may be posted along the
line of the new sewer reading SUBJ

please do not dump rocks in the
sewer"
'Beware-This sewer was not made
to carry off tin cans"
"Brickbats should not be dumped
in the sewer"
Manure and straw must not be
put in this sewer"
The cause of all the trouble start
ed when Contractor James c. Broad
complained that the sewer was be-
ing clogged up. Investigation show
ed that manhole covers had been re-
moved and other objects dumped in.
Street Commissioner Root took up
the matter, and instructed Chief of
Police Woydt to have his men notify
the people as to what the sewer was
built for and that they must cease
using 1t as a general dumping ground

and they have not yet learned the
exact purpose for which sewers are
intended.

C0P|0US TEARS
SHED IN court

Two family groups in Judge Rich
ardson's court this morning furnish
ed ocular illustration of the spread
of misery following in the wake of
wrongdoing, or the charge of it, by
one member of a family.
Sitting in the prisoners seats, hold
ing his little daughter on his knee,
while the tears streamed down the
faces of both, was C. ii. HARRISON,
charged with the theft of a horse.
Beside him sat his wife, her eyes
swimming in tears, while ranged be-
yond her were four boys. the oldest
of whom was not over IA years of
age. il was a melting sight to note
the neat but plain clothes of the
little girl clasped in the arms of her
father, who still wore the suit in
which he was arrested last week
while at work for the Spokane Trac-
tion company. 1t was stated that
the father was the sole support of
the family and his continued incar-
ceration would work hardship on the
family by depriving them of his sup
port. TIE suggestion struck on ears
with chilliness when the eyes wan
dered to the snow covered roofs of
the houses in the background
The ensemble of circumstances
seemed to strike the court. for the
motion of the prosecuting attorney
that the trial go over until the COM

SENATOR HAM|L TON
DIED IN TACOMA

State Senator e. S. Hamilton is
dead at Tacoma. He expired at 0
o'clock this morning. He succumbed
to typhoid. His death removes an
important candidate for the United
States senate. There will now be a
new alignment as to state issues.
Senator Hamilton was a young
man. but had already shown his lead
ership. AT the time of death he was
only 81. A native of New York state,
he lived in Tacoma for many years,
engaged in the stevedore business. in
which he was successful. The firm
was McCabe & Hamilton Hamilton
was accredited rich enough to main
tain the life of a United States SEN
ator. the attainment of which Office
was the ambition of his life.
In 1898 Mr.. Hamilton was elected
to the state senate, for the full term.
and was reelected in 1900. At the
time of death he was a hold-over,
which made him a member of the
next state senate.
Senator Hamilton took a prominent
part in the state senate, where he
was regarded as a leader, and. al
though a staunch republican, was, in
non-political matters, a supporter Of
the late Governor Rogers.
He was a member of the commit
tee on appropriations and finally was
chairman. He was regarded as an
active, capable man, versed in the
resources and needs of the state.
At the session of 1900 Senator
Hamilton was one of the managers
of the campaign of Addison G. Fos-
ter for the United States senate. Fos-
ter being elected. In the session OF
1903 Senator Hamilton was equally
active in behalf of Levi Ankeny, who
was also successful.
Throughout his legislative career
Senator Hamilton was a strong sup
porter of the railroads, opposing
freight rate measures and railroad
bills. AS a leader of the railroad
forces he defeated the much talked of
railroad commission bill.
Lately he announced himself as a
candidate for the United States sem
ate and, in company with Senator
Ruth of Olympia. swung round the
circle in eastern Washington. get

Passed Away This Morning
After a Hard Fight with
Typhoid Fever.

United States Senator Addison q.
Foster whose successor will be
elected at the next Legislature, is a
candidate to succeed himself. He is
living in the same county with the
late Senator Hamilton. The candi-
dacy Of both men from Pierce coun-
ty has been a source of embarass-
ment to the party, which the death
of Hamilton will not doubtless re-
lieve.
A new alignment of the republican
party on the United States senator
question will now be in order and
will be eagerly watched from Spo-
kane.
Prosecuting Attorney Horace KIM
ball who was one of Senator Hamil-
toms closest friends i'm Spokane, said
this afternoon:
Notice of the death of MIR. Ham-
ilton has panied me greatly.
He was one of the brightest and
best public men in the state. To
the republican party his death will
be severe blow. AS leader Sem
ator Hamilton had few equals. AS
friend-rnaker his was unsurpassed.
although still young man, Sem
ator Hamilton was ia along in the
line of public success. His candi-
dacy for the United States senate bid
fair TO put his name still higher.
'Mr. Hamilton was a man in the
early '40s exceptionally robust in
appearance and few of his more iIfti-
mate friends in this city could COM
prehend that his end was likely to
be so sudden.

atorial hopes he felt confident of sue
cess. Had he lived he would unques-
tionably have been a strong factor in
the fight, his friends now say.
Senator Crow, asked by The Press
concerning the late Senator Hamil-
ton, said: My acquaintance with the
late Senator Hamilton began imme-
diately after the election of 1898. at
which time we both entered the SEN
ate as new members. 1t so happened
that while of the same political par
ty, we were on opposite sides of many
economic questions. especially the
railroad question. / found Senator
Hamilton be warm personal friend.

time a courteous gentleman whose
word was always good. He would
always do as he agreed. l regarded
him as man of marked ability. who.

States senate, would undoubtedly

Senator Hamilton was married in
1891 to Miss Emma Ridgeway of
New York, and leaves a widow and
one child.
In what. way docs the death of
Hamilton complicate state politics?

According to the report spread by
the members of the Building Trades
Council last night, they fully indorsel
the action of the striking plumbers,
who nearly two weeks ago walked out
on the refusal of the master plumbers
to grant them raise of wages from 50
to $3.50 u day. by all the laws of
unionism this must mean that every
building now in course OF construction
in TIE city, which are in need of
plumbing. must have the work shut
down if any of the master plumbers
who are now doing their own work
should attempt to do any labor on
those now in course of construction.
In defense of the course they pur-
sued last night when they Endorsed the
plumbers, members of the building
trades state that the contractors I'M
der whose employ they are, rather
than throw their entire forces out Of
work to allow the master plumbers to
do their work, will refuse to allow the
boss pN,Wbers to 80 onto the works
at all.
Every effort is being put forth to
have these buildings finished and under
cover as soon as possible.
When interviewed this moning the
master plumbers stated that last
nights doings would not make par
ticle of difference with their position
there was no hurry with the work,
and they need have no fears but that
