The Peerless Employment agency
duct his business by the city comp
troller and Mayor Boyd this morning
In the face of the sensational expose
of The Press Of few days ago. Mr..
Sebring Of this agency was sent to
the penitentiary for one year for try
ing to sell Spokane girls into house
Of Ill fame a few days ago.
Investigation into the matter re-
veals a deplorable state af affairs and
shows where the city ordinance in
this matter is sorely lacking.
An employment agent does not have
to place his application before the
city council for the approval of that
body. He simply files his bond Of
$1,000, has 1t approved by the cor
poration counsel and then places the
thing before the mayor for his APP
proval.
Mayor Boyd approved the Peerless
license this morning and thereby
placed himself on record. He was
seen regarding the matter by a Press
reporter this morning and in explain
ing said that after the bond had
been fled 1t was UP to him to approve
them, as in so doing he was not con-
sidering the desirability of the appli-
cant, but of his bondsmen.
The mayor showed a lack of knowl-
edge of the city ordinances, as he did
not know whether the matter should
be acted upon by the city council or
not. In fact, he said he thought the
matter went from his Office to the
city council for its approval.
Neither is 1t the business of the
city comptroller to pass on the desir-
ability OF the applicant In issuing the
license after the bonds have been APP
proved by the corporation counsers
office. Therefore. a license was rail-
roaded to Triplett this morning,
But Mayor Boyd says that the
council may at any time revoke the
license.
The vital part of the bond reads
that said license Is granted on con-
dition that the applicant shall not
violate any state law or ordinance Of
the city, especially those ordinances
relating to employment or intelli-
yence offices during the term of the
license, and he shall pay all judg
ments rendered against him or all
judgments rendered against the city
by reason Of his willfully deceiving
any person transacting any business
with him as keeper of an employment
agency.
The bond was approved by Assist
ant Corporation Counsel Kenyon and
was signed by Mayor Boyd.

CONTROL B. 6.
COAL FIELDS
BELIEF THAT D. O. CoRBIN AND
ASSOCIATES DESIRE TO OBJ
TAIN POSSESSION OF VAST
COAL TRACTS.

What connection with the British
Columbia coal and oil fields, the
licenses to which will be issued by
the British Columbia government
early in May, Has d. c. Corbin?
The question is receiving more than
ordinary consideration since The
Press announced that the Canadians
had decided to issue licenses to the
foreigners who have got into the coal
territory and located various tracts
Corbin, as Is well known, has an
other railroad scheme on hand and
this Of late has taken up much of his
time. This proposed line as surveyed
runs right through these coal and oil
lands in question.
The announcement that the licenses
would be issued shortly has caused
much conjecture with regard to the
Corbin proposition and it is claimed
today that the line will be COM
menced within n very few weeks after
the issuance of these licenses.
This being the case II would appear
that Corbin has other interests in the
section than the mere one of rail-
reading.
Offers to Buy.
Several Of the small companies of
men in this city who have located in
the coal section have had "feelers"
sent them on the subject of selling
out One of these companies was
offered $500 the other day for its
holdings. The offer was refused as
this amount is considered hardly a
tenth part of the value of the hold
ings. These feelers gave rise to all
manner of rumors regarding who the
prospective purchaser might be. The
Corbin interests are now prominently
mentioned as the likely ones back of
the move. Corbin has interested with
him in his railway scheme several
wealthy Americans and Canadians,
and 1t is now believed that these
financiers are making a concerted eff
fort to obtain control of all the $4,000
acres of valuable coal lands in East
kootenay. southwest of that already
famous section, the metropolis of
which is Fernie.
Judge George Turner and Andrew
Laidlaw of Spokane and several prom
inent British Columbians are said to
be among the interested parties with
d. c. Corbin.

PORTLAND, Ore, April 30.-In the
act of making skeleton keys in their
den in lodging house at First and
Jefferson street, Detectives Snow and
Kerrigan captured Albert Cannon and
Harry Volker shortly after midnight
yesterday morning. The charge on
which they are held today is robbing
the telephone nickel-in-the-slot boxes.
When the detectives rushed into
the room Volker had in his possession
a 3S-caliber revolver, all chambers
loaded. In the room was found tools
of all sorts, such as might be used
in robbing the telephone money boxes.
During the past two weeks 10 or

and 1t is estimated that the COM
pany has been the loser to the extent
of about $50.
