GRAF I
COUNCILMAN PRATT THINKS
THE PUBLIC IS BEING BUN
COED BY A CoLLUSION EE-
TWEEN THE ELECTRIC LIGHT
PEOPLE AND TIE INSURANCE
AGENTS.

Is the Washington Water Power
company and the Washington lnsur-
ance association standing together to
work the people out of about $4,000
per year? This is what Councilman
Pratt wants to know.
The Washington Insurance associa-
ton, it is said, employs Hubert Met
calf at a salary of 800 per month to
inspect all electric light wiring in the
houses of Spokane. The Washington
Water Power company refuses to turn
on electricity until report is sent
in by the inspector from this insur-
ance society, which is the state organ
ization of all the insurance companies.
n. S. Pratt. who will introduce an
ordinance in the city council said in
reference to the graft. "Ihe Washing
ton Insurance company is clearing
about $4,000 year from the public by
work which should be done by the
city. Before | thought of introducing
an ordinance / had talk with several
electricians of the city, and they as
sured me that each electrical supply
house in the city was paying into the
hands of the fire insurance society
about $50 per month and some OF the
houses were paying more.
Company Stands In.
81 was informed that the inspector
made a superficial examination and
that the wiring was only inspected
after the drops We're put in. 1t costs
the people 81 or S. for an inspection
which covers but few minutes. This
amount is paid and the people make a
request to the Washington Water
Power company that the light be turn
ed on. The company informs you it
cannot be done until the inspector S
report from the insurance company is
turned in.
"Since | have requested the ordi-
nance to be drafted / have discovered
many new things of which | was ig-
norant before. People have stopped
me on the street and have given me
information which had l known,
| would have changed the reading of the
| proposed ordinance.
at is now my desire to take the
inspection out of the hands of the
society and turn it over to the city
Albert Thieman, electrician of thu
fire department, | think, would be i
good man for the place. The scheme
now carried on is merely a form Of
petty graft and should be stopped"

TWENTY Nine
KILLED
DISASTER ABOARD
THE UNITED STATES BATTLE
SHIP MISSOURI YESTERDAY
POWDER EXPLODED.

PENSACOLA, April H.-Three Off
GERS and rs men were killed by an
explosion of powder in one of the tur-
rets and handling rooms on the bat
tleship Missouri yesterday. The ship
was off Pensacola at target practice.
One of the charges which was being
loaded into one of the big Pinch guns
was ignited by the gases or by piece
of burning rag from previous shot. :
Instantly the turret was filed with
smoke and fire. Then four charges in
the handling room exploded instantly,
killing those who may have survived
the first explosion.
Captain w. S. CowIes, brother-in-
law of the president, was in command
of the ship. As soon as the explosion
occurred an alarm was turned in. The
handling room was promptly flooded
with water. 1t was only this prompt
action which prevented one of the mag
azines adjoining the handling room
from exploding and sending the ship
to the bottom. So hot was the fire
in the handling room that the brass
work was melted.
The officers who were killed are
Lieutenant w. G.. Davidson, Lieutenant
A. T.. Weichert and Lieutenant of Ma
rines J. V. p. Gridley. The Missouri
is the newest of the big battleships
and has been in commission but a
short time But few shots had been
fred from her since she has gone into
commission.
