MAKING JOBS FOR
CHEAP POLITICIANS

Dr. Genoway, director Of the board
of health, is up against a hard fight
All because the smooth doctor is try
ing to form a company to father a
conspiracy to secure the monopoly
on hauling garbage to Spokane's ex-
pensive crematory.
Charges to this effect are to be
made before the city council by the
united scavengers of the city. The
charges will be made to Offset the
unwarrainted action of the board of
health as dictated by DR.. Genoway
to create a place for Ernest w. Otis.
the disgraced superindent of the iso-
lation hospital.
To give Otis a Job as a tool Of
the conspirators the first move Of
the board of health was to recon-
mend the creation of a new sanitary
police position for Otis. The council
wouldn't stand for It,
Then it was decided to care for OF,
elsewhere. But the plan fell through
and this week the board ordered the
discharge of Sanitary officer Thayer,
the best man ever placed on that
work and one who has given the best
of satisfaction to everyone except
the friends of Otis.

MRS. STREELER GOES
TO ASYLUM

Mrs. Hannibal Streeter was examin-
ed as to her sanity in Judge kennans
court this morning and was committed
to the Medical Lake hospital.
Mrs. Streeter attempted to drown
herself yesterday in the Spokane river,
but was unsuccessful. The woman IS
said to have lost her mind, owing to
disappointment over love affair. She
acknowledged, on the. witnes stand,
that she loved Isaac d. Wallace,
street car man, and that he failed to
reciprocate, which caused much worry
coupled with the fact that she knew
it was not right to be in love with
him when she had husband and sucn
dear little boy. She told how she
had tried to give up her infatuation
for the car man, but could not break
away from the idea. The fact that
he did not return her love drove her
frantic.
