Chief Woydt addressed a letter to
the mayor this afternoon denying the
right of the mayor to remove him
under the charter provision quoted
above. The chief says that there
must be an emergency, and that no
such emergency exists. In closing.
he says:
Il brief. then. wish to notify you
that Notwithstanding your proclama-

acting chief of police of the city of
Spokane. I shall continue in the pos

tain such possession to the full ex-

Lower Howard Gossip.

After the news was received last
night that Chief of Police Woydt had
been deposed by the mayor there was
much talk regarding the matter. Low
err Howard street received the news
with rejoicing and there was much
>speculation and conjecture as to who
would receive the appointment to
succeed the chief. ....
One thing seems certain and that
is the office will not go out of the
department.
Several names were strongly talk
ed of the first suggestion being that
Captain Coverly would continue to
fill the place as acting chief. But
this is one of the best political plums
such will be the case.
There is considerable talk today
regarding three detectives. Alexander
Macdonald talk is in the air. And
there are many who say the office
of chief will fall to the lot of De-
tective McPhee. Detective Bob
Briley has many supporters.
Another thing seems certain: The
liquor dealers of the city should name
the chief. 1t was these men who had
Woydt kicked out and as a matter of
course they will not allow any one
to get the office who will follow di-
rectly in the footsteps of the ex-chief
and harrass the liquor interests.
The three detectives named are all
level-headed men who have good rec
.ords OF service on the force. They
are all firm men of good judgment
Although keeping down vice. they
will not attempt to purify matters
in day, so 1t is claimed by their
supporters.

Suicide

II don't believe the Muffett woman
was stransled." said Coroner Smith
this morning. 1T IL now all in tho
hands of the district attorney and if

Mysterious circumstances seem to
surround the death Of Mrs. Muffett.
According to the story told the coro-
ner yesterday the body was found in
the cellar with the neck resting in a
moose made from a clothesline. and
there were marks on the neck. Coro-
ner Smith was not notified of the
finding of the body until o'clock
and the discovery had been made be-
fore noon. DIR. N. NJ Baker PERFORM
ed the post norton examination and
found all her organs to be normal, or
nearly so. and there was but little
evidence of congestion Of the lungs
not enough to produce death.
1t is proposed today to hold a
chemical examination of the stomach
to ascertain If the woman had taken
poison.

of the investment of that fund there
has grown up in Washington an insti-
tuition which, in addition to the income
of $4,000 from Smithson's legacy, ex-
ponds each year $4,000.
1t came to the attention of Professor
Alexander Graham Bell about year
ago that Smlthson's body was about
to be disturbed. The cemetery in
Genoa where it was buried was to give
way to a marble quarry. The matter
was laid before the regents Of the
Smithsonian Institution and as result
of their action Professor Bell went to
Europe in November and superintend-
ed the disinterring of Smithson's body.

imagination, therefore he had no
right to issue his proclamation.

The above in substance Is the side
Of the question from Chief Woydts
viewpoint. At the meeting of the
council last night Mayor Boyd de-
clared an emergency, appointed Cap

and deposed Woydt.
Today Woydt has posted an open
