In connection with the Montborne
affair the attention of the officials has
been called to the fact that a morn
ing paper in this city is carrying the
advertisements Of different concerns
who offer to do the same thing for
guilty women that was done by DR..
Montborne, the only difference being
that the fakirs merely offer medicines
to accomplish the desired purpose.
Prosecuting Attorney Kimball and
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Barn
hart and Detectives Gemmrig and
Stauffer are still working on the case
against DR.. Montborne, and they be-
lieve the evidence already accumu-
lated against him is ample for his
conviction. Additional facts in the
case that can not be made public I'M
til the trial are in the hands Of the
authorities. In the minds Of the diff
ferent officials who have examined the
witnesses there is a general belief
that Fireman Baasch burned the child
pursuant to the instruction Of DIR.
Downs, AMI positive proof is in the
hands of the prosecuting attorney as
to one Of the most important parts
that DR.. Montborne played in the
case.
Miss Austin Is still confined to her
room, a very sick woman, and it is

further part in the case for some days
to come. although the hearing is set

BAR PHYSICIANS
FOR MALPRACTICE

Aaian outcome of the arrest of Dr.
II. r. Montborne for criminal treat
ment TO Miss Ethel Austin, the county
medical society is likely to hold a
searching examination of three ply
sicians in this city who are suspected
OF similar practice.
It has developed that these ply
sicians have been under surveillance
for a long time, but, according to
Information given the officials, it
was not until recently that definite
information was obtained on the mat
ter
One Of the most prominent menu
bers of the county medical society
said today:
1T is not improbable that some
two or three physicians may be ex-
PEELED from the society for these
practices. although I am personally
of the belief that they should be tried
by a judge and jury in the court
house and sent to the Walla Walla
penitentiary, instead Of being tried
and expelled from the medical So
cfety. To my mind such men as these
bring discredit on the profession and
they should be given the same treat
ment that is accorded-to other crimf-
nails. and the reputable physicians OF
this city should do all In their power
to furnish the proper Information to
the prosecuting attorney and aid in
supervising the Offenders"
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney
Barnl1art said today that he had heard
that two or three physicians are
to come UP for examination at the
next meeting Of the medical society.

sidered one Of the good results so far
attained by the strike.
At the telephone headquarters q

broken into the mysteries Of the bust

ordered the three girl pickets at Riv-

the request of Manager Reynolds for

out any secrets regarding the doings
Of the organization. as a precaution-
airy measure to prevent the officials
of the telephone company being in
formed of what has or will take place
and thus checkmating the members

The greatest indignation is ex-
pressed among all workingmen as
well as the striking girls regarding
the action of Ed Westlake, Clarence
Thayer, Ed Volk, Hugh Clark and
George Norris. the only men that so
far have been secured to take the
places of the girls who went out.
Some of the latter say that the Of

determined and willing to continue
the strike until the Pacific States Tel

make terms. Realizing as they do
that they have the sympathy Of the
entire population of Spokane against
a foreign corporation whose service
has lately exasperated the public,
they are emboldened to continue on
with the struggle for recognition of
their rights as American girls. There
have been no assertions from their
ranks.

were forced to teach the routine Of

in view Of breaking up their union.
