BYRNE MEN LOOKING FOR A
NEW CANDIDATE FOE DELE
GATE TO THE NATIONAL CON-
vENTION.

Turner and the anti-Byrne faction
and Byrne and the anti-Turner fac
tion of the democratic party of Spo-
kane county are watching each other
with increased suspicion today and
each side is expecting some move
ment of treachery from the other
side.
Some of the Byrne followers today
declare Frank Hogan can not go to
the national convention. Turner and
his friends would like to help Mr.. Ho-
gan, but they are fearful that any
interference on their part would re-
act to the injury of Mr.. Turner.
The Byrne men also say they have
no candidate for delegate to the ma
tional convention and that all they
will do is to put a stop to the efforts
of Senator Turner to swing the coun-
ty of Spokane. and the state as well,
into line for Judge Parker. Not that
they are opposed to Judge Parker, but
they talk for an uninstructed dele
cation. Some of them say that If
Senator Turner in the county conven-
ton Saturday attempts to have a
resolution put in instructing for
Parker that it will be voted down.
1t is believed by many, however.
that there is a definite plan on foot
to swing the convention in line for
some delegate other than Mr.. Hogan.
1t also is something of a question

PLANTATION of one of the school teachers
on the proposition of keeping the schools
open ten months instead of nine. None
of the teachers seen would talk for
publication, but they all agreed that
they were willing to compromise the
matter and receive ten months pay for
nine months work
ut is a pretty hard thing to teach
all day and then spend half the night
correcting papers and preparing for
the next days work. There does not
seen to be any tendency on the part
of anyone to lessen the work. We
will have to work just as hard dur
ing the ten months as we do during
the nine we now teach" said more
than one teacher.
One more warrant year and the joys
it will bring cause many visions to
dance before the eyes of the peda-
gogucs. But the three months vaca-
ton is not always pleasant to the
teachers. 1t reminds them of the rag
time melody. ITS all going out and
nothing coming in!'
Teachers do not hold many warrants
in reserve. In fact, it is common for
them to cash their warrants before
they are due. Along about September
there are few warrants that are not
in the vaults of the banks.

Peerless Employment Agency Man, who
Wrote to Fictitious Ze|pha Lyons About
Securing Girls for House Of III Fame, Is
Sentenced to One Years imprisonment
by Judge Hanford.

c. F. Sebring Of the Peerless Em-
ployment agency of S35 Main street
was sentenced by Judge Hanford in
the federal court to serve one years
Imprisonment and pay the costs of
the trial in which he was convicted
Tuesday of sending an obscene letter
through the mail.
Sebring was the man who made the
offer to Sara Serl to secure girls be-
tween the ages Of II and 16 years
for the fictitious Zelpha Lyons house
of i'll fame at Nelson, b. G.
This was the first conviction fol-
lowing the exposure by The Press OF
the traffic in young girls souls by
Spokane employment agents.
Sebring was attended by his lawyer
only in court this morning. When his
case was reached Judge Hanford call
ed him before the bench and asked
if he had anything to say as to why
sentence should not be imposed on
him.
Sebring, with hanging head, NUM-
bled that he had not. Judge Ham
ford then said:
The sentence imposed on you by
this court is that you shall serve one
year in the United States prison on
McNeil's island and shall pay the
costs of the court in this action"
Sebring accepted the sentence with
out change of feature and was led
from the courtroom handcuffed with
another prisoner by a deputy United
States marshal He will be confined
in the county jail until he is removed
to the United States prison.

by Mayor L. Frank Boyd.
The tree will then be planted under
the direction of the ladies', while the
school children sing an appropriate
song. Mrs. 7. B. Garrison will name
the tree. Superintendent Tormey will
also deliver an address, after which the
exercises will be closed by song by
the school children.
The ladies of the society are anxious
that as many as possible donate plants
for the grounds and they ask that they
be left at the grounds, not later than
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon. Every
one is invited to attend the exercises.
The best way to reach the grounds
is to take the Broadway car. This line
passes directly in the rear of the new

IDAHO SENATOR IN TowN-AE
TAKES A SHOT AT THE NOR
MON OFFICIALS AND INCL
pENTALLY DOES SOME OTHER
TALKING.

Personally l am in favor Of Hearst
for president and l am satisfied that
the predominating sentiment in Ida
no is favorable to Mr.. Hearst said
ex-United States Senator Henry Heit-
field this morning.
The senator is a guest at the Grand
hotel and will remain in the city for
few days.
MANY of the Mormons favor
Hearst" continued the senator, but
the heads of the cl3uSh do not and
when they get revelation the rank
and file follow instructions"
rs the Mormon church going to cut
a figure in the future politics of the
state?" the senator was asked.
IT'S the only figure that is in the
politics of the state. Understand me,
we are not fighting the Mormon
church or the Mormon people; we
are simply opposed to having our
politics controlled from Salt Lake. If
the people are left alone, the demo-
Gratis OF Idaho have no fears. as a
majority of the Mormons are natural
ly inclined to democratic principles ..
Speaking of the opposition of the
Idaho delegation In Washington to
the effort to have the old Fort Sher-
man reservation at Occur dAlene
City given over for an old soldiers
home. Senator Heitfeld said:
II opposed the proposition because
the military committees in both the
senate and house opposed il and the
people of our state were not asking
for 1t, and l did not think II the
place of members from other states
10 interfere in matter concerning
our state alone"
This was n crack at Senator Turn
err, who. while personally warm
friend OF Senator Heitfeld, made a
fight to have an old soldiers home
established at Fort sherman and the
principal fight on the matter was con-
Quoted from Spokane.
"The people of Occur d'Alene City"
said the senator, wanted the reser-
walton opened and think after the
present session OF congress govern
ment surveying party will be sent gu,
here and when the reservation is sur.
veyed into lots government ap.
praiser will place n value on the
ground and it will be sold to indlvid,

When the case Of the state against
William Thurman was reached this
morning Attorney John II. Roche en-
of the defendant. Thurman appeared
in court wild eyed and unkempt. He
continually glanced over his shoulder
as though expecting to be attacked
from the rear. From the appearance
of the man Judge Richardson felt
that he was warranted in appointing
a commission to investigate the mans
sanity. Drs. Morrison. Scmple and
Hansen were appointed.
Thurman was examined before
them. He claimed that he owned n
boat on Pend d'Oreille lake. He as
serted that he had $4,000 In bank at
Newport and make other strange
statements. A casual observance of
the man and his actions would lead
TO the belief that Thurman was in
sane.
The doctors, however, ordered
everyone out OF the room and con-
Quoted the examination alone. Just
DtloTc Hotli tltN 'iiS WIZ
clusion that the insanity was entirely
fcigncd. Just what they did during
the investigation is not known.
The jailers stated that they had not
noticed anything out of the ordinary
in the man previous to this morning.
They reported that he ate we'll, slept
regularly and seemed TO be perfectly
normal
Thurman is charged with forging
a check on Jones & Truitt OF New
port. He has already served a SEN
tence OF two years in the state prison
FOR the same crime. Previous to this
nc had spent one year at the asylum
where he was confined. Every time
Thurman has appeared before a
court he has appeared with a new
name. Timberman. Thurston and
Thurman all sound good to him.
