Commissioner Root has met with
bitter opposition In some OF tile po-
lice channels against requiring the
crib women to move up stairs.
1t is argued by one of the police
officials that women can not be
handled so well up stairs as they
can on the ground floor. The Of
ficials making the argument refuse
to consider the fact that the upstairs
plans of the cribs, If need be, could
be exact duplicates of the present
ground floor plan-excepting a dozen
exits In different directions through
saloons and alleys that now give
n criminal an invitation to ply his
vocation and escape.
For another reason equally nlys-
FERROUS opposition is found in the
department against compelling the
saloons that feed and grow fat on
the trade Of these women and their
friends to move. The strange argu-
ment has been advanced that the

woman to the officials Vigfnier has
been counting her and has been ask
ing her to loan him her rings to
wear. This morning at 4 o'clock he
again asked for one of the rings
while she was in the saloon and she
again refusesd. Then he gave her a
drink. the only drink she had during
the night. All that she remembers
after that was Of stumbling her way
to her room.
She was aroused about o'clock
by some one tugging at her fingers.
The last of her rings was being
stripped off and she recognized the
two men--although she was still too
weak to defend herseslf.
As quickly as possible she made
her way to the police station and
reported the matter.

LIQUOR INFLUENCE is
AGAINST CRIB REMOVAL

women could not exist without the
saloons. Some years ago they man
aged to exist in Spokane without
saloon adjunct to the life of their
cribs.
1t has developed that these sa
looms have such keen rivalry for the
business OF these women that they
have caused a high board fence to
be built down the middle of the al
leys dividing the two rows of crib
doors. The unwritten law is that
the women In the cribs back of one
saloon shall not patronize the saloon
that is in front of the neighboring
row of cribs.
Commissioner Root said last night
after seeing the righteousness OF
this high fence--that must be re-
moved and that Immediately, He
also said that an effort would prob
ably be- made to do away with the
saloon adjunct to the influence of the
cribs.

young man they knew, looked up and
down the street and changed their
minds.
Next came a girl, apparently 16
years of age. her hair hanging down
her back. Before the commissioner
could get to the corner she disap-
peared. either going into the private
entrance to the saloon on First ave-
nue. or up stairs. She was given the
benefit OF the doubt and the saloon
was not again visited.
This saloon Is getting famous as
the hangout for young women en-
ployed down town. One commercial
establishment employing a number of
women and girls Is said to send a
steady patronage to the place early
each evening.
The commissioner says the worst
influence of such places is that they
are now the rendezvous OF women
who have been stopped from solicit
ing on the streets. and that these
women meet the girls and younger
women ana exercise baneful influence
over them

Police Commissioner Root last
night made little Summing trip on
hts own account the trip being made
after reporter for The Press offered
to bet that he could take the COM
missioner to a saloon within three
blocks of Howard and Riverside be-
fore . o'clock at night, where the
boxes would be found filled with
young women.
The commissioner went to the Vie
tor saloon, In the Victor block. and
found women to be in all of the boxes
but one. AS the night ADVANCES the
number of women patrons increases.
Coming away from the saloon two
women were passed. one of whom
was the daughter of an intimate
friend of the commissioner. The re-
porter made the guess that both
women would go to the saloon.
Mr., Root was doubtful and believ-

QUESTION OF STRIKE
Determined TONIGHT

The general sentiment among mem
bers of the various building trades
unions this morning was that sym
pathetic btrike will bs decided upon
at tonights meeting OF the several
committees. The striking millwork-
ers have grown weary of attempting
to adjust existing difficulties by con-
sentative methods and believe gen
eral strike will be the best means of
bringing the millowners to terms
quickly.
Should a sympathetic strike be de-
cided upon. the millworkers will de-
clare all the lumber mill owners on
the unfair list and this would prevent
the other building trades unions from
handling the product of the mills,
