The proposition to reduce the
license of the two poolrooms now
running in Spokane from $3.50 to 800
a month will come up before the city
council at the meeting tonight in the
chambers at the city hall.
Ordinance Should Not Pass.
1t is question whether the ordi-
nance will be carried. The license of
$3.50 a month now being paid by the
poolrooms is VIGOROUSLY low. In
fact. according to the amount of
money made daily by the Warwick

higher could be paid. and would be

Mcbride Not Sincere.

Mr.. Merriam sneered at the words
"a truly representative government"
included in the resolutions adopted at
the Mcbride meeting, and said they
were not consistently applied to the
man who had on two occasions de-
feated a railroad commission bill,
once when Governor Rogers was liv-
ing because he could not have the
appointing of some OF the members
of the commission. and again last
winter by blocking the passage of an
elective commission bill

proyement association held at Hunt,

was held at K NJ X. c. hall last night
the object OF which was to formulate
plans which win result in the ulti-
mate good and upbuilding of Cairo.
II was during the trip to and from
the Huntington convention that the
leading factions of Cairo, which have
bitterly opposed each other Ter many
years, were united. On the return
trip some of the delegates decided to
hold a banquet or love feast which
was given at the Halliday hotel two
weeks ago and at which expressions
Of good fellowship and mutual de
sires for reconciliation and unity in
all things tending to the betterment
Of Cairo were exchanged.
1t was then that a Greater Cairo"
movement was espoused and when
the banque+ was concluded it was
agreed that a meeting of citizen
should be held subject to tie call Of
the chairman, Mr.. George Parsons.

Mr.. George Parsons called the
meeting to order, making brief talk
in which he outlined the oblect OF this
meeting. telling the citizens that they
must work shoulder to shoulder and
that only through united efforts could
they succeed. He then announced
that the meeting was in the hands of
the citizens and asked for nominations
for permanent chairman.
Mr.. John A. Miller, president o;
the Merchants league, nominated Mr.,
George Parsons for chairman and the
nomination was seconded by Mr.

OUTRAGES IN MACEDONIA.
Greek Men. Women and Children Tortured
and Burned Alive.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23-Official advices
have been received at the State Depart
ment indicating that the situation in Mace
donia is about as bad as it could be. The
identity Of the person reporting to the De-
partment is not disclosed, as his usefulness
would be at an end if he should become
known to the Turkish Government. He re-
ports that Greek men, women and children
have been tortured, burned alive and other
wise horribly treated by Macedonians and
Bulgarian bands, and that the Turks pay
little attention to the outrages. not caring
particularly how many Christians are in
volved, 30 long as no attempt is made by
the Bulgarians to slaughter Turks. The
Bulgarians, according to the report, are
very careful not to kill Turks.
The Greeks have organized small retail
atory bands. who have crossed the borders
and made raids against the Bulgarians.
The Bulgarian revolutionary committee
is alleged to be at the head Of the atrocities,
and two causes are at the bottom OF most
of the murders. One is refusal TO pay
blackmail to the committee and the other
is the indication by Greeks or Bulgarians
of the whereabouts Of the ravaging bands.
A reign OF terror exists throughout the
frontier, and conditions seem to be be-
coming worse

10000 VOTES FOR BRYAN,
Indiana Silver Men Purposely InyRiidatc cd
Ballots As = Protest.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 23.-Leading Demo-
Gratis have been making a quiet investiga-
ton into their overwhelming defeat in In
diana in the recent election and reports
have been made to them from several coun-
ties. 1t appears that in a majority of the
precincts OF the State many ballots were
cast, not with a view Of having them
counted, but as protest against the taking
possession Of the party by the 'reorgan-
izers' and it is estimated that more than
10000 votes were thus cast for Bryan, but
not with the expectation that they would
be counted.
In one precinct in Monroe county there
were twenty-seven ballots mutilated by
making the cross for a straight Democratic
ticket in the circle containing the rooster
and then writing the name Of Bryan just
above the emblem. In Upton county
more than 800 such ballots were thrown
out by the election boards. every one Of
them properly marked for straight ticket
and then mutilated by writing the name Of
Bryan over the emblem.
II is now said that an organization was
started among Silver Democrats Just before
the election to m ark their ballots 20 as to
distinguish them and thus cause their re-
lection, but the time was so short that the
organization could not be perfected before
the election.

NEW YORK POSTMASTERSHIP
MARCUS MARKS AND W. n. WILL
cox THE LEADING CANDIDATES.
Edward Lauterbaeh Sees the President
and Urges the Appointment OF Marks
The President Said He would Not De-
eide TIL He Had Seen Senator Piatt.

WAsHiNGToN, Nov. 2s-During a con-
versation to-day between President Roose-
welt and Edward Lsuterbach, Congress-
man-elect Herbert Parsons and Nevada n.
Stranahan, Collector OF the Port Of New
York, 1t became known that the tw o leading
candidates for the New York Postmaster
ship were Marcus NJ. Marks and William
r. Wilcox, and that unless something un-
foreseen should arise one Of them wou Id
be appointed.
While the President repeated what he
had said 80 many times to those with whom
he has discussed the question, that he
would not select Postmaster Van Colts
successor until he had consulted Senator
Platt his hearers obtained the impression
that he favored Mr.. Marks. 1t came out
in conversat ion, however, that Senator
Plat had indicated that he had some OBJ
lection to Mr.. Marks's' appointment. The
grounds for this objection we're not stated,
but the idea was gathered by those at the
conference that Senator Platt thinks Mr..
Marks is not closely enough identified with
the Republican organization in New York
to justify his selection for this important
Office and that Mr. Platt prefers Mr.. Wilcox
and his record as Park Commissioner
Messrs. Lauterbach Stranahan and Par
sons were the guests Of the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt at luncheon. The President
particularly wanted to talk with Mr. Lluter-
bach about the New York Postmastership
and several days ago invited him to come
to luncheon.
Mr. Lauterbach told the President that
he was for Mr. Marks, and he pointed out
that not only we're Mr.. Marks's associates
in the clothing trade in favor Of him, but
the labor interests identified with the making
OF clothing were also supporting his can
didacy.
The President showed that he knew
great deal about Mr.. Marks and was i'm
pressed with his ability as business man.
He indicated that he wanted a good bust
ness man at the head Of the New York Post
Oaice He made it plain also that he would
do everything within his power to prevent
a factional fight over the appointment.
One thing that came out at the confer
ence was that Gov Odel was not a factor
in the postmastership contest Mr. Lau-
terbach said after he left the White House
that Gov. Odell was not taking any part in
the case. Mr. Lauterbach returned TO New
York this evening.
LIcien L. Rotheur, chairman Of the Re-
publican committee Of the Twenty sixth
Assembly district, also called on the Presi-
dent to day to recommend Marcus NJ. Marks
for the New York Post master
