THE GREAT DEMOCRATIC EDITOR
And wife VISIT SPOKANE

William r. Hearst, accompa MED by
Mrs. Hearst and her sister. Mrs. To-
vey. arrived in Spokane from Nell
son. B. S., last night and are stop
ping at the Spokane.
Mr. Hearst is carried away with
the beauty of Washington's seem
cry and expresses himself as being
highly pleased with the hospitality
of Spokane people. He was surprised
to find the city so large and possess
som any fine buildings. The party is
enjoying the trip immensely.
Mrs. Hearst is a beautiful woman
and has rare personal charms that en-
dear her to everyone.
Mr. and Mrs. Hearst will leave to-.
morrow for Yellowstone park.
To tell the story of the life and
success of William Randolph Hearst,
editor, congressman, multi-million-
aire and aspirant for the presidency,
requires a free dealing with an array
of elements. so unique and unusual
that they find no parallel In the bio
graphies of men who have sought
the highest honor within the gift OF
the American people. 1t has been
said of Hearst that riches could not
spoil him. He cares not for the bau-
bles rich men usually prize most.
but his whole soul and ambition soar
to honors from the hands of the peo-
pie of his country--as he himself
says-"the common people"
He was born in San Francisco ~
years ago. He Is considerably more
than six feet tall. broad shouldered,
deep chested, a specimen of perfect
health, the consequence of natur-
ally fine constitution, athletic train
ing In youth and temperate manhood.
He was the only child of the late
United States Senator George Hearst,
multi millionaire mine owner, and
Mrs Phoebe A. Hearst, whose chari-
ties have made her famous through
out the land. That he has been a
great editor, that he was elected a
congressman from New York and

Of the United States was not beyond

pany's graft, and this started the
discussion.
The police department asked for
$4O,645 against s3S,6O0 for the pres
ent year and for FIVE additional po-
licemen. For the Jail department an
increase of 1855 was asked.
The health department came in for
salary grab. asking for s13,250
against $1O,65S for the present year.
This includes salary increase Of
about $1,000. For the crematory a
payroll of $6400 was asked, only $1,000
being figured in addition for MAIN
tenance and fuel.
The library estimate is $14,S00 as
against $674S for the present year.
No action was taken on any Of
these estimates, owing to the finance
committee deciding that to allow all
of the salary grabs asked for would
be to boost the tax levy to an extra
ordinary figure.
The Weymouth figures will be in
tonight, when more salary grabs will
be provided for and another increase
proposed for the tax levy.

ly economical. He sets no limit as
the price of important news or dis
play of enterprise, while in the mat.
ter of routine interest, his tendency
was to the other extreme. Hearst is
paradoxical in many other ways. He
is simultaneously the Easy Boss"
and the hardest taskmaster imagine
able. He never allows his voice to
rise above conversational tone.
Hearst's newspapers have been
largely given over to attacks upon
the wealthy frivolous and in the in
terest of the poor. He makes a very
interesting speech, forceful and con-
vincing. but his power of the pen
exceeds that of his oral capacity.
He told the public very frankly
that he was going to run a sensa-
tional. yellow newspaper. Whenever
there was a sick baby homeless. q
hospital to build, or an abuse to REM
edy he went to work and attended
to the thing.
Hearst scaid harsh things about
prominent persons whose actions did
not suit him. and nice things about
obscure people who did good things.
The Examiner. like all OF the Hearst
papers. was audacious because Hearst
wanted it so.
At all times Hearst has been frank
in his admission that the idea OF
yellow journalism for which he
stands has big faults. but he says
that all big things must be faulty
and he thinks the good out-balances
the bad.
The cartoonists have had rare fun
with Hearst. They portrayed him a.
the yellow Kid" and have not hurt
his feelings In the doing. He has
been variously dubbed "wnlie on
the Spot" Wee While" and the
Boy Candidate" A part Of his bus-
mess has been to cartoon public men

Men who saw the woman rush to
the cliffs and jump telephoned to the
police station and Chief Waller re-
sponded with a crew OF officers in the
patrol wagon equipped with graphing
irons and poles. The police arrived
just as the woman, drenched, scream
ing with excitement and shivering
with the cold, was dragged up to
the steps. She was taken to the po-
lice station and locked up on a
charge of insanity.
1t was about 1890 o'clock this
forenoon when Alf Hayward and Will
Franbz. two youths, noticed the wo-
man going down the steps leading
from Post street to the gates and
the dam.
The boys saw by her actions that
the woman was evidently insane, and
as she started to blimb over the edge
OF the precipitous cliffs they shout

Seeing them coming, the woman
waved her arms frantically to warn
them away, and then, without an in
stant of hesitation, took the fearful
leap into the water, some 40 feet be-
low.
The shouts of the boys and the
screams of the woman attracted the
attention OF James O'Hare and c. f.

her up until the eddy swept her near

FRANK ROWElLS BODY

The dead body of little Frank Row

the second Olive street bridge, was
found this morning in an eddy near
the bridge and only few feet from
where the led fell off the logs into
the water.
The body was seen early this morn
ing by l.. II. Waldron, foreman of
swithcing crew. A telephone mes
sage was sent by him to the police
station.
Today was the ninth day since the
drowning, and, as has been expected
the body came to the surface.
The body was removed-eo' Smiths

and Bradley were able to entangle
the teeth Of one of the heavy rakes
in her clothes and thus drag her
within reach.
When escorted to the patrol wagon
by Detective Weir, Mrs. Streeter
grew hysterical and begged to be al
lowed to go back into the river. She
screamed piteously over being forced
to ride in the patrol wagon and de-
manded a hack.
In the chiefs Office at the police
station the woman gave her name
and residence as 226 Riverside ave-
nue.. She declared she had trouble
and that she would only be compelled
to try to kill herself again, as she
could never outlive the trouble.
With rough sympathy the chief
and officers did their best to quiet
the woman. who, drenched through
her clothes and with the chilled gar
ments clinging to her, shook with the
cold.
Captain Jost of the Salvation Ar
my, who is police matron, was tele-
phoned for, but before she arrived
the woman was taken into the Jail.

her clothing and wrapped her in
blankets.
Then it was learned her husband
was Hannibal Streeter. a laborer en-
ployed by the Washington Water
