ROOT STRONGLY
Defends DANIEL

City Commissioner Root. In whose
department Joe Daniel is employed
has come firmly to the defense of
NJ. Daniel In the troubles which the
latter is having with members of the
teamsters' union.
Said Commissioner Root this morn
ing:
'Mr Daniel is one OF the most
competent men in the city hall. Is
one of the hardest workers In the
hall. and Is being opposed by a lot of
men who could not be drones while
working under him or who are vent
ing their spleen because they could
not get the city work. The team
sters' union is not against Mr.. Daniel,
as is shown by the following letter:
SPOKANE, Wash. May l6. 1908.
III. c. Root, superintendent OF
streets; Dear Sir--The Transfers
and Team Owners Local. No. 1Ol. A.
L. L., desires to express our hearty
approval of your choice In selecting
j, W. Daniel as your foreman for

friend of the union among those who
employ men and teams for city work,
we hope you will be able 10 retain

FIGHTSWIFE'S.
DIVORCE SUIT

| though affidavits are on file to the
effect that Glindemann might have
been insane at the time he committed
the act charged in the criminal in
formation. He denied the charge in
toto when called as a witness.
Today there were filed affidavits in
the divorce action instituted by his
wife in which Judge Townsend
swears that under the law the guard
ian should appear and defend the
person and property of an insane per-
son and raises the point that only .
guardian can appear in civil actions
against an incapacitated person. He
states that no summons has been
served in the divorce action against
the defendant by service upon his
ward.
If the motion is sustained, the ef-
feet will be that a guardian can not
sue her ward for divorce, claiming
it to be an unheard of anomaly. 1t
is expected that Judge KEENAN, will
be on the bench Monday morning to
hear the motion.
Glindemann was sentenced by
Judge Richardson this afternoon to
serve 10 years in the penitentiary at
Walla Walla. His appeal bond was
fixed at $4,000. Glindemann was at
liberty pending sentence on $1,000
bond. but Judge Richardson consid-
cred this amount insufficient.

new Law IN
ALL JURY
CASES

Actions like that brought by James
F. Delaney against George Gould and
his wife for the recovery of wages
due on alleged contract will be few
and far between in the superior court
hereafter. The new law requires O
deposit Of $12 on all jury cases in
civil actions and that amount, with
- for filing complaint, will deter
petty cases from occupying the at
tention Of the superior court. In the
case in point the plaintiff asks for
Judgment for $64.36, and the cost Of
trying the action to the county will
be not far from $3.50.
1t was the last case on the June
docket of the civil department and
before commencing it and after a
jury had been secured Judge Belt
took occasion to compliment the jury
men summoned for the term. Said
the Judge:
This is the last case upon the
docket for June, and I wish to thank
| the jurymen for their promptness in
| attendance and for the intelligence
they have displayed. 1t has been an
| unusually long docket, but we have
got through with it quicker than was
! expected. This is due as much to the
jury as to the efforts of the court
and in dismissing the jurors not call
ed on this last case l desire that
they be given their share OF the
credit"

A FIRE STATION
IN SECOND WARD

:
probably in the neighborhood Of the
high school building. 1t was also
agreed that the fire station on First
avenue near Washington street
should be abandoned. with the ex-
ception of the big hook and ladder
truck.
President Baldwin Of the council
expressed fear for the additional rea-
sen that the present stations are
north of the Northern Pacific tracks,
and that II the tracks become block
ed by trains at a street crossing
after a hard fire has started serious
results may follow. Five minutes
delay at such time might result in
vast damage in case high wind were
blowing.

WILLIAM r. ARNOLD,
Secretary
This trouble has been on ever
since the men and teams were hired
to do the sprinkling this season. We
had work for Ia teams and received
more than 100 applications. Neces-
sarily some of the applicants were
disappointed. In awarding the con-
tracts care was exercised to secure
good teams and good men. One Of
the chief "kickers" at the present
time is n man who tried to get work
for little team of cayuses too
small and weak to draw a sprinkling
wagon.
with the exception OF two G.. A.
II. veterans all the men employed un-
der Mr.. Daniel are union men. and
do not propose that he shall dis
charge those G. A. X. men under any
condition so long as they do their
work.
IN give any man $50 to prove
that Mr.. Daniel owns a single team
doing city work or that he profits
through any city contract"

1t is not improbable that the police
will ask for the revocation Of the
license of the Mug saloon on Stevens
street. Joe Miller assaulted a man
in front of the Cleveland lodging
house yesterday and dashed into the
saloon. The bartender told the po-
lice that he had seen nothing Of
Miller, but a peep over the transom
into one of the boxes showed Miller
and two other men to be in the box.
The door to the box had been locked
from the inside. Miller was arrest
ed by Detectives McPhee and Nc
Dermott.
According to the police this IL not
the first time such trick has hap
pened at the Mug. and It Is because
OF this that the ofIicials are after the
Mugs license.

There Is little doubt but that new
fire station for the Second ward will
be the outcome Of the fire which des-
troyed the dwelling and barn Of
Harry Richardson at Ninth avenue

The contributory causes Of the de-

long time occupied by the hre de-
partment In making the run from the

pressure. Had there been a station

AGREE ON PLAN TO
AVERT ALL STRIKES

Neither side had anything to say
today regarding the plans agreed
upon for promoting the settlement.
However, 1t Is understood that a
committee was appointed to confer
with the chamber Of commerce on
some strike settlement plan.
A plan was suggested during the
discussion before the carpenters, for
the appointment Of . general board
Of arbitration after the settlement Of
the millworkers' strike. Before this
board must come every grievance be-
tween capital and labor before any
strike can occur.
The scheme was approved by both
sides.

/ The carpenters supported Mr.. Good
ais views that too much publicity
had been given the millworkers'
strike and decided to keep all efforts
toward q settlement as secret as DOS
sible. The chamber Of commerce
committee decided upon the same
course.
The carpenters were appealed to
because they are controlled by the
same body as the millworkers and
must support any course decided
upon for the strike by that controll-
Ing body.
They are therefore indirectly in
terested and their concurrence in any
plan would have great influence in
