The remark of public-house keeper named Chapman, who is now being tried in London on the accusation of having poisoned three wives within few years of each other that if he had had the bodies cremated instead of buried there would have been no evil dence against him, has led the Home Office to form regulations to make it more difficult to hide crime through the fire of the crematory. It is pointed out that within the past five years there nave been in Great Britain three con- victions for murder and one of man. slaughter brought about through the exhumations of bodies, while, had cre- nation been general, these crimes would never have been discovered. It is now to be the law that no body shah be cremated unless, in addition to the regular death certificate of the attend Ing physician there is a second from a competent medical authority, or post nortem by a pathologist employed oy the cremation company or the eu- shorities, or a certificate given by a coroner after an inquest. It is also provided that the crematories shall be regularly inspected by the health au- .horities, that all cremations be regis :ered and that the ashes be properly disposed of.

Women Must Not Cad
About After Midnight
Without Escorts

The police of the city are talking of
a brand new departure in the way of
orders which are likely to be issued
in the near future. Spokane is noto-
nous for the numbers of young girls
and women who walk the streets night
ly without friends or escorts. An
effort will be made to prevent this
by issuing an order that no woman
be allowed on the streets without a
proper escort after midnight. 1t is a
state of affairs that has existed IL
long time and of late it has become
much worse than ever before.
Young girls who are scarcely of age
walk the streets at a very late hour
in pairs, and many of them are alone
Street walking must be stopped, will
be the slogan of the department if
present plans are carried out. This
matter has now reached a stage where
something must be done in hurry
or something will happen which will
cause the police department all manner
of trouble in the future.
This is especially true on Saturday
nights, when the dances are in prog
ress. Women of all ages walk the
streets, visit the saloons and things
reach a climax which might be styled
as an orgie.
After night spent on the streets
these people remain in their rooms in
many of the blocks along Riverside
avenue and other streets, until they
emerge again at night, when the same
routine is repeated.
Thus far there seems to be no partic-
ular pressure brought to bear upon
these people. although the fact is no.
torious, and of late things have got
to such a condition that the police will

PLAN TO FIGHT
GRAb-ALL FRE|CHTS

The Press had a long talk with one
of Spollane's leading merchants, whose
name will be divulged at the proper
time. This gentleman has new sug-
gestion in regard to the grab-all freight
discrimination, the curse of the town.
He said
"lf the merchants here. through The
Press, would only go to the bottom
of this thing. The railroads profess
that there are obstacles in the way,
but it is only a bubble. The obstacles
would be swept away with a scratch
of the pen.
In my opinion the only wav to solve
this question is to touch the pocket
books of the railroads. The plan |

Take the matter OF cotton piece

manufactured product in this state in
cottons is easily 100000 yards per
annum alone. and doubtless five or
ten times that amount for domestic
purposes On these enormous amounts
of cotton goods Spokane is being dis

cold facts. The railroad rate from

POLICE CLUbBED
Them MERC|LESSLY

They charged the crowd, which show
ed the most determined resistance, re-
fusing to give way, which angered the
police. They charged the mob merci-
lessly, striking right and left with
their big, heavy clubs, laying out
men and women in every direction
until the mob found the fight too hot
and dispersed.
No one was fatally injured al
though bloody heads are common.
The frightened conductor was taken
from the house and escorted to the
barns under police protection.
The street railway managers be-
lieve that there is more trouble brew
ing and anticipate another strike. The
trouble is all on account of the union
button, which the various street rail-
roads have tried to do away with, an
order having recently been issued by
some of the lines that employees
should not wear them. The union
Immediately issued instructions &c
disregard the order of the street rail
way companies and threatened an
other general strike and tie-up If the
companies insisted on their order to
remove the buttons.

for the amount.
About $3.50 this morning Dem Gay
entered the Snowshoc and finding no
bartender present, asked the porter
where he was. The latter SAID that
he had sent him out for piece If
tobacco and when he returned the
man was gone Gay then told the
porter to open the register and when
he did it was discovered that it had
been cleaned of every cent of Surprise
receipts. Snowshoc receipts and all,
including Collata's diamond pin.
The most unfortunate part of the
affair is that because of his slight ac-
quaintance with the man Atkin had
never asked his name. He is described,
however. as man about four feet
eight, smooth face. pointed chin, high
check bones and weighs about 10
pounds. He has also lost two upper
teeth. He wore soft shirt with a
