HIS CELL DOORS
OPEN TOMORROW

LEAVENWORTH Kan, Nov. 81
The doors of the military prison at
Fort Leavenworth will swing open to-
morrow for exCaptain Oberiin NJ. Car
ter, who has completed his fve-year
sentence for robbing the government.
Deducting the allowance for good con-
duct. the actual time served by Carter
has been three years and seven months.
When Carter was brought to.the PEN
itenitary he talked much of his anx-
iety for civil trial. Recently he has
not said much on this subject, but has
paid more attention to suit pending
in the United States circuit court
whereby the government was endea-
voring to recover about $4,000 aleg
ed to be a part of the former cautain's
ill-gotten booty. Since his imprison-
ment the government has succeeded in
making Carter turn over vast sums of
money, but notwithstanding this, he
is believed to be still wealthy. He
is possessed of valuable mining prop
erty. chiefly in Mexico, and it is
thought likely that he may make that
country his future home.
The case OF Carter attracted such
widespread attention at the time of
his arrest, trial and conviction four
Years ago that the facts are sail fresh
in the public memory.
Grant sent him to West Point from
Ohio in 1876. He was graduated, ct
"a, at the head of his class, and went
to the engineer corps by right of his
standing. He served first in the east,
where he married millionaire daugh.

Trouble for Taft.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.--There ara
dire things in store for Governor w.
II. TAFT before he assumes the portfolio
OF the secretary Of war-if the Kati-
punan catches him.
According TO mail adviees from Ma
Mia Judge j. Il. Liddell, who sits in
the Parian police court, received an
anonymous letter the other day. The
envelope bore the dreaded Katipunan
symbols, two mysterious triangles. 1t
contained notice to all Americans,
who were denounced as animals and
thieves, hungry after gold, gentlemen
of little education and devoid OF even
ordinary public morality"
The writer continues
Some day YOU viii see that we are

OTHER COMPANIES SAY
IT is A HOT PACE

President Henry NJ. Richards of the
Washington Water Power company
is pleased over letters of inquiry
which the company has received from
street railway corporations in some
of the eastern cities asking if it were
really true that the water power COM
pany had turned over the total earn
ings of an entire day towards the
building fund for ct. Luke's hospital.
In the east some of the street car
companies have given an hour or two
of their earnings on some picked day
for charity" said Mr.. Richards this
morning, but it is a poser when some
of their customers come forward with
the announcement that in distant
Spokane a whole days earnings of
the entire system have been given to
charity.
1T is poser for those fasteners,
and they have been writing to know
how We can afford to do it; and if It
pays to divert the earnings of the
company in this manner.

men in the dugout. Details of the bat
tile have not yet been received.
Later-A dispatch from Miller sta
ton says Nandine and Neidermeyer
escaped from the dugout, where they
were surrounded. 1t Is reported they
succeeded in reaching Tolleston, Ind,
where they held up Pennsylvania
freight, shot the brakeman and forced
the engineer to take them to Liver
pool, Ind, where they left the train
and struck out across the marsh in the
Sandune country.
The two detectives wounded were
brought here to the hospital, one prob
ably fatally. Advices received at police
headquarters say the brakeman shot
on the Fort Wayne train was killed.
Particulars this morning say seven de-
tectives, sent to Hammond last night,
located the men, gathered a posse and
surrounded the dugout, but awaited
daylight. owing to the known deadly
Workmanship of Nandine and Neider-
meyer The two detectives were shot
early in the engagement. Hundreds OF
shots were EXCHANGED.

the trunk home, pretending that there
were a large lot of books that he did
not need on the trip, and he would
reduce the weight by taking them out.
Then they divided the Stag by packing
it in a trunk and a chest. These were
exhibited in court with the Stag es-
timated to be worth about $500. Bart
lett reeled off his story with the nom
chalence of an expert confidence man,
and whole day of cross-examination
scarcely faxed him. Before adjourn
ment Wednesday he weakened his tes-
timony by admitting that business
partner in the real estate business by
the name of Kanaly and another part
ner in the saloon aud gambling BUSH
ness named Beard were let into the
knowledge of the scheme. He declared
on examination in chief that Peel and
the members Of his own family were
the only ones admitted to knowledge
of the scheme. Bartlett himself, upon
his great prospect for sudden wealth,
had bought large holdings in real es-
tate on credit, and with Kanaly, was
building residence houses for rent. He
also backed up the saloon business In
the name of Beard, but after his arrest
both enterprlses failed.

WOMEN'S ANKLES

Heard the latest from Brownies adj

A most important social fact Is re-

women; indirectly, men. The women
are once more to change their out
lines. 1t is said, in Spokane's most

| The ankle is to be more in evidence,
and of Saturday afternoon, in the
shopping district, not only will the
ladies' clicking heels be in plain sight,
but possibly there'll be a slight sug-
gestion Of dainty hosiery.
Z The rumor was regarded of suf-
ficient importance to be referred to
the best dressmakers in town. If
the women Of Spokane must now take
four inches off their street skirts, II
is The Press solemn duty to record
the fact. Every woman in town Is
interested. Also a few men.
Yes" said very high local author
ity, women will soon shorten thei,
skirts again. They will be cut, this
time, at least four inches.
"As for the dragging skirt on the

preparatory to making lawn this sum-

The directors of the hospital have
made n request that all persons on

the same to the grounds instead of to

is needed as fertilizer.
AS planned, these are to be the

MAY Be FREIGHT RATE
WAR TO COEuR O'ALENE

The question of freight rates between
Spokane and Occur d'Alene city is re-
ceiving considerable discussion among
shippers generally. They welcome the
competition between the Northern Pa
cifc and the new electric railway, and
a feeling prevails that it will result
for their benefit The electric railway
people seem to be determined TO cut
the rate under that now imposed by
the Northern Pacific This is now
20 cents per 100 and to 8 cents in
carloads, and for lumber cents. The
Northern Pacific feels this rate is about
as low as they can go, and as there
