Local Girl
Makes Hid

A glowing tribute has been paid one
Of Spokane's girls by the best known
dramatic critic of San Francisco. The
Alcazar stock company, in its presenta-
ton of "a Colonial Girl" this weel,
made one of the greatest hits ever made
in San Francisco. The piece is par
ticularly fitted to the tastes of the
San Francisco theater-goers. Among
those whom the famous critic gives
especial praise, is Miss Eleanor
Gordon. Gordon is not her real name
but is her nom de plume. Her real
name is Miss Eleanor Swenson, who
formally lived at Ais Second avenue
in this city. ,.4s
Harry Hayward, manager of the
Auditorium, first brought her out. AT
that time she was clerk in the Spo-
kane Cloak and Suit house. In very
short time she has mounted the first
rungs of the ladder, and her rise in the
profession has been rapid. Here Ii
what Ashton Stevens says of her and
her part in the presentation Of "A
Colonial Grip:
'How time flies! II II . couple Of
years, ana WONDERFUL AT tn6t, up "
seems only a couple Of weeks since
WAS interviewing Miss Gordon, along
with lot Of stage-struck girls that
were acting and furnishing their own
ballroom gowns for a salary of SO per
week--all but Miss Gordon, who re-
ceived for her clothes and services
just 81 less than that amount. And
now she is very close to the leading
lady, and not very far even from the
clever ingenue, Florence Starr. Looks
carriage, voice and fine swinging
manner are Miss Gordon's. She knew
better than any of us, what she was
doing when she set about learning
= her trade, at nothing week. She said
it was better than paying money to
tho dramatic school of inexperience
and her present work bears her out
Eleanor Gordon is quite an accom-
plished actress and l feel reckless
enough to prophesy that in another
season she will be ripe for New York
where there are six or eight weeks
for the preparation of a part, instead

Union Men Claim There Is a Gigantic Scheme
Afoot to Disrupt Organized Labor
in Spokane.

The Building Trades council has
thrown down the gauntlet to the Mas
ter Builders association and has hurl-
ed defiance in their teeth. 1t is now up
to the association to commence to do
it's worst in its alleged efforts to dis
rupt the council and the unions of the
city in general.
The union people claim they now
have all the evidence needed to con-
vince them that a gigantic scheme has
been underway looking toward their
entire disruption, and that behind the
scheme is not only the master builders
themselves, but by all the allied en-
ployers of the city. For some time
local unionists have been sorely puz-
zled to gain a clear conception of tue

Vaccinations of the employers asso-
citation. What evidence they now have
in hand is not known, nor will any of
the prominent labor leaders of the
city divulge it, but, nevertheless, they
are doing much talking with regard to
the subject.
1t has been the intention of the allied
trades to this year work in harmony
with the employers and do everything
to make the year one of prosperity.
Leaders today say there is every prom
Use of breaking all records for the
building trades this coming season.
They have made up their minds to let
everything from wage standpoint
remain just as it now is. Now they are
up in arms and say they defy the
master builders to do their worst, come
what may.

The aristocratic west end is in a
turmoil today over the arrest OF
young Freeman James. the 17-year-
old son of George w. James, who
lives at 1918 Riverside avenue. James
was taken into custody late yester-
day afternoon by Detective Burns and
Patrolman Lister, charged with be-
ing implicated in one or more of the
xecent holdups on the edge of town
The arrest was made without war
rant
James is q grandson Of the late s.
8. Glidden, formerly president Of the
Old National bank. His family is
one of the most prominent and best
connected in the city and his arrest
has brought host Of friends of his
family to the front to declare his IN
nocence. Public sentiment at the
jump of seems to be with the boy
for all the grounds for his arrest
apparent at present are the fact that
he owns q sorrel horse, is rather tall
and has voice resembling that of
one of the men who held up William
Eistrup on the old Moran road Janu-
airy 15.
The police claim also that he re-
sembles the robber who rode sorrel
horse at the holdup of w. w. Kay
Thursday last The robber was tall
and rode bald-face sorrel. Young
James horse has been turned over
to the sheriff that it's hoofs may be
measured.
James father was notified of his
arrest and appeared with Attorney
Jones and b. c. Riblet. His release
was demanded unless warrant was
sworn out. This was done at $3.50
o'clock last night and the boy re-
leased on 5000 bond.
In conference with his attorney
w. c. Jones. this morning, James
and his companions were able ia
make out a complete alibi.. They met
In the office of the attorney and the
ground was gone over thoroughly.
From the facts presented there ii
appears that young James Is u much
injured person.
At 8 o'clock on Thursday, the day
on which II is alleged the holdup took
place. James and Lawson Moore, n

NO SEATS ron VISITORS.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.--The measure
ment of the Coliseum today under
the new regulations governing the
seating capacity of public houses, in
stituted since the Iroquois fire. shows
that the big hall can seat but 5000
people, as against the old capacity
of 1900. This will allow but few
seats for outsiders at the republican
national convention. Nearly the en-
tire seating space will be allotted
to delegates. their alternates, distin-
guished guests and the press. The
latter alone requireE a minimum Of
500 seats.

There are no new developments to-
day in the strike at Hillyard Of %
employees of the Great Northern repair
shops. Those who walked out yester-
day are seeking an arrangement with
the company to allow them to work
longer hours. This trouble has been
brewing ever since last fall, when the
company first laid off 80 men and then
set them to work again on short time,
the company's excuse at the time being
that there was not enough work to
keep the men busy for more than

Musicians in SCRAP
with Mr.. Davenport
Union Wants 'Louie" to Send His Artist Vandel
Back to Frisco.

Vandel came to this city and before
Mr.. Davenport had organized his
orchestra Vandel put in an application
for membership in the musicians union.
When all was in readiness Mr.. Van
del took charge as leader of the
Davenport musicians. This aroused the
ire of the local clique of musicians who
have become very jealous, it seems,
and they have now undertakn to scalp
Louis "musically" speaking. They want
to compel the 'usurper' to return to
the edge of the continent-in other
words to go way back and forget Spo-
kane. The matter viii likely be thresh-
ed out at the next melting of the union.

The musicians union which, in times
past, has caused more trouble and
strife in union circles than any other
organization in the city, is again hav-
ing trouble, this time with Louis
Davenport, proprietor of the restaurant
of that name.
Davenport, some time ago, decided
to put in an orchestra, being forced to
this decision on account of the success
of the Silver Grill since the installa-
ton of the Hungarian orchestra and
their music. Davenport sent to San
Francisco and obtained the services Of
Carl Vandel. a thorough musician.
