to capture him, he levied tribute on
the richer class of Japanese and Chi
nese merchants of that city.
These men, being familiar with the
laws of this country, quietly tipped
off" the matter to the police, and
while they were hot on the trail of
the outlaw ne fled the city.
Members of the japanese colony of
this city who had heard Gonda was
headed this way are congratulating
the department on the prompt cap
ture.
The supposed outlaw Is short,
chunky man with round, fat face
and resembles the famous Jap
wrestler who visited this country a
few years ago.
Oshima said this morning that
GOnda visited his restaurant several
times last night Cor the purpose of
levying tribute on him and as he was
not around came to the conclusion he
was trying to evade him. He then
started the fight which resulted in his
capture.
Chief Reddy telegraphed the Sc
attic police department this morning
advising it of the capture of Gonda.
The prisoners photograph was taken
this afternoon and will be sent to
Seattle.

Early last evening the police were
given information regarding Tora-
kichi Shibata, alias Gonda, the high
binder, leader of the band of Japan
csc outlaws who carried on their
depredations in Seattle with high
hand and openly defied the police.
Yesterday a man said to be Gonda
and his pal. Tahora, arrived in Spo-
kane from Lewiston, Idaho, and at
once proceeded to infuse the fear of
the devil into the hearts Of the jap
anese element Of this city.
He first visited the Labelle restau-
rant, owned by X. Oshima, and not
finding the proprietor proceeded to
clean out the establishment. A bonn
bardment with dishes and butcher
knives as ammunition was started.
Gonda assaulted every waiter and
cook about the place and put the en-
tire crew out of business. When the
disturbance was brought to the at
tention Of the officers the Japs with

LABOR DEMANDS ITS RIGHTS
OF COUNCIL IN CITY PRINTING CONTRACT
The following adopted in
N be let only such Offices entitled the Union Label"

Union labor in Spokane now has an
opportunity to find out it's real
friends In the city council, and also
an opportunity to unmask its enc
mics.
At tonight's council meeting bids
for the city printing for the ensuing
year will be opened and the action
taken upon the bids will show the
people where each councilman stands.
Upon the records Of the council
proceedings stands O resolution to the
effect that city work be let to Arms
entitled to the union label. Whether
the oounoilmen were sincere In adopt
ing this resolution ana will govern
their actions by IL, or whether they
prove traitors to labor, will soon also
be o matter q record.
At one of the meetings of the trades
council and of the typographical
union resolutions were passed by
each body demanding that the print
ing be given to the bidder entitled to
the union label, and committees were
appointed to wait upon the various
councilmen and request that they re-
main loyal to labor's interests.

lodging house on Front street, where
he occupied a bed with his pal, Ia
hara. Gonda evidently realized that
he was up against an officer who
would stand no resistance and allow
ed himself to be taken without any
trouble.
That the prisoner is Gonda of Sc
attic fame Is not doubted, as he is
known to several of the Japanese of
this city. His prompt capture is
regarded as the best piece of work in
years.
In Seattle Gonda was the alleged
head of gang of Jap outlaws whose
operations the police of that city
were powerless to stop.
During the past six months crimes
without number have been credited
to HIM including the blowing up of
. Jap lodging house with dynamite
and the hacking to pieces of a labor
er. Others were cut and shot. Japs
hacked and cut to pieces were found
at intervals and in most cases the
bodies had been hidden away in al
leys.

refused to pay tribute. He was so

Tonight delegations from both the
trades council and the typographical
union will be present at the city
council meeting to note the action
taken by each individual councilman
and to report to their respective
bodies whether these councilmen are
friendly or unfriendly to organized
labor.
It is the concensus Of opinion
among these delegations that imme-
date action should be taken by the
council, and the contracts be let to-
night.
The usual course Of action is to re-
fer the bids to the finance committee,
where action is taken upon them at
the committees leisure. Labor lead
ers assert, however. that the city's
interests demand immediate action.
"Whoever gets the contract" they
assert, "the price will be less than
the present exorbitant figures, for
there Is now competition. AS the
present contract remains in force UNI
til the new contract is let, 1t is q
matter Of economy to the city and
therefore to the taxpayers. that i'm

Il have been spending the last two

Horse Heaven district.
"Of course, l can't say positively

very probable that q colony of our

Zion is beginning to be crowded
