CREMATORY CAN'T
BURN TIN CANS

On Saturday the 30-day test of the
Decarie crematory will be over and it
will then be up to the city to accept
IT, 1t is understood that the board OF
public works will recommend it's ac-
ceptance by the city and Mr.. Decarie
claims that he has faithfully lived
up to his contract, which provides
that the plant shall consume at least
40 tons of refuse per day at a cost
not to exceed so cents ton.
The question that is occurring to
Spokane taxpayers is that If after the
city shall have bought the crematory
for $21.500 will il be any better off
than it was before According to
present plans. il will be necessary to
install Il system of garbage holders
around town and TO divide the city
tain hours in which 10 haul garbage
to the incinerator.
1t is admitted that the crematory
will not burn tin cans. Mr.. Decarie
states that if the city desires to get
rid of its tin cans. he will install an
apparatus that will take care of them
He does not state at what price he
will do this for. but he is willing to
do It, Mr.. Decarie also candidly ad-
mits that his machine, nor any other
will not take care of night soil The
machine will burn all other kinds of
refuse.
During the 80 days that the ma
chine has been in operation II has not
made l2-hour run. This was due to
the fact that il could not secure garb-
age enough. Yesterday II consumed
slightly over IS tons of refuse in less
than 10 hours at a cost Of 40 cents a
ton. A great deal of the garbage
gathered around town can be sold to
farmers. The city is In the position
that II has q crematory on it's hands
which can not burn certain kinds of
refuse and that great deal of what
II can burn can be sold. Scavengers
state that the amount of garbage
gathered each day In Spokane is be-
tween 10 and so tons. The crematory
can not take care of all the GARBAGE
that might be hauled to il and dunn
is necessary. For which the city
will pay $2l,sQo.

TO STAND
TOGETHER

Whether the bartenders will support
the brewers in their strike against the
Brewing & Mailing company is the
question of the hour in labor circles.
The bartenders meet tomorrow night
and will take some decided stand in
the matter.
There are known 10 be two factions
in the union, one favoring supporting
the boycott on the trust beer, and the
other against it. All indications are
that the bartenders will tomorrow
night refuse to support the brewers.
There has not been the greatest har-
mony between the two unions. The
bartenders last summer enileavored
to enlist the brewery drivers in their
fight against unfair saloons. The brew
erv drivers refused to help them and
it is now thought that the bsrtenders
will not be over-anxious to help the
brewers in their present trouble.
Unless the bartenders should sup
port the boycott the brewery owners
say the present strike will not incon-
venienee Spokane citizens very much.
The breweries have a national assoeia-
ton which binds them one another in
case of labor troubles. Members of
the association are compelled to furnish
beer to any member who is short on
account of a labor trouble and the
same agreement prevents them from
encroaching on each others trade.
The Hieber brewery and the Olympic
company are members of the associa-
ton and are expected to help out

HEARST WILL GET
WASHINGTON

OLYMPIA, Wash, May 5-Thc
democratic state convention is in ses-
sion here today for the purpose of
choosing 10 delegates to the st. Louis
convention. The action of the conven-
ton In regard TO instructions for the
presidential nomination is problemat-
zeal as there appears to be no we'll
defined feeling in favor of any partic-
ular candidate. The populistlc ele-
ment in the party leans toward
Hearst. while Senator Turner and
other conservative leaders have de-
clared their preference for Parker. 1t
is probable the convention will de-
clare In favor of Senator Turner as
the choice of the democrats OF the
northwest for the vice presidential
nomination.
Henry Drum of Olympia was elect
ed temporary chairman, II. Lee Purdy
of kitsap county secretary, and Il. H.
Holmes of Spokane sergeant-at-arms
Both Turner and the Hearst factions
are uniting in the organizing of the
convention. The entire convention is
FOR the endorsement OF Turner for
vice president and the platform of
1896 and 1900, but the Hearst men
want the delegation instructed for
Hearst Turner will not accept this
proposition. Both sides claim control
OF the convention, but apparently the
Hearst forces have the control.
King county offers to compromise
by endorsing Turner and sending an
uninstructed delegation and COM
mending Hearsts fight against the
trusts. Turner refuses this. 1t now
looks like the matter would be fought
out on the floor of the convention.
The convention was called to order
at IL a. m. by Chairman Heifner and
then adjourned until . p. m.

give Spokane county anything on the
state ticket for any Spokane man who
has been in the Mcbride camp. This
objection even applies to w. Nj. Shaw,
candidate for state treasurer though
less so to him than to others. 1t is
for this reason there is a disposition
to rally to Mr.. Macdonald. His
chances are considered good on a
proposition of this kind. for the only
other candidate for attorney general
is Mr. Stratton. the incumbent, who
is Mcbride man.

Little Children to Come Unto Me, for

In the county jail are four China.
men. They are to be deported today.
For the last three or four days they
have been visited at all hours of the
day by ladies who look on the gov
eminent as unjust when 1t drives
Christian Cinnamon out Of the coun-
try. Two Of these chinks profess
Christianity. The other two do not.
The courts have said they are unlaw.

There is no loophole. All that the
missionaries can do is to visit them,
pray with them, bring them flowers
and food and attempt to cheer them
UP.
In an opposite cell has been an in
sane woman. She Is a mother, like
many of the missionaries, and has
reared a large family. On her way
to the Inland Empire she became in
sane. Six of her children left her and
were sent to their father at Riverside,
in Okanogan county. One poor little
neglected child remained with her
mother. She stayed in the jah, where
she could minister to her mother and
do what she could to make her burden
lighter.
Child In . strange Land.
The little girl was only a slip Of a
child, but IL years old. She was q
total stranger to every human being
in Spokane
For three days she wandered
through the dreary corridors of the
jail No one except the Jailers had
word for her. No flowers were
brought to her. The Jail food was all
she had to eat. She was not a pris-
oner She stayed where she saw her
duty. She stayed because she loved
her mother. The missionaries came
and went on their way to visit tho
chinks. They passed the child In the
Railways time and again. She looked
with large, wistful eyes at the fruit
and the flowers, none Of which was
for her. none for her raving mother.
The women who came to see the Chi
nese-society women, church women
of spokane-looked at her. but saw
nothing in her that demanded their
love and attention.
Once or twice the jailer spoke to
the woman about the child-he told
them of the circumstances But IL
availed nothing Still they came to
the Jail to visit the men who were
unlawfully in the country.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Figlew.
ski, the childs mother, was taken
to the asylum at Medical Lake., a
raving maniac Her mother gone, she,
stranger. was left alone in the Jail.
What to do with the child until she
could be sent to her father was a
question Finally IT was decided TO
send her to the Sacred Heart hospi-
tai. where she is now being cared
for until her father sends word.

have not been brewing any beer since
the strike, but they have large sup
