The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1904-12-31

All the officers of the city and
county are making strenuous efforts
to capture Henry Arao, the murderer
of Sam Chow. In the search many
private detectives and citizens are
taking an active part, spurred on by
the hope of reward.
All sorts of rumors are afioat-
many of them wild and clearly imagi-
nary. The police have been informed
that Jap was seen hurrying across
the bridge toward the o. r. e. N.
station about 1880 O'Clock Thursday
morning. If the fugitive caught the
train leaving the o. r. & N. depot at
1876 Thursday morning he must have
concealed himself under the cars for
the railroad crew saw no Jap on the
train.
The conductor of the afternoon
train, leaving Spokane at 4:S0 o'clock,
thinks he carried the murderer from
Freeman to Fairfield. He says he
carried a Jap, who was carefully
avoiding observation and who had his
hat fastened down over his forehead.
The conductor had read the descrip-
tion of Arao and believed his passen-
ger was the murderer. so in giving
him a check he attempted to raise the
hat worn by the Jap but was unable
to do so. He spoke to the man about
the murder. but the Jap merely smil-
ed and bowed. At the next station a
wire was sent to Fairfield to have an
officer present on the arrival of the
train. but the agent at Fairfield was
unable to secure an officer and the
suspicious looking passenger hurried
around the depot and disappeared.
Two deputy sheriffs are now in the
vicinity of Fairfield and developments
from that section are eagerly sought.
1t is stated at the sheriffs Office
that they have Information deemed
fairly reliable that the fugitive Is
in the southern part Of the county.

speech on the no salary idea. He
said:
II do not believe that we can not
govern ourselves, and I still think
we can elect our own officers. The
legislature of Washington would
never pass the bill In the first place,
because Seattle and Tacoma would
oppose 1t. and even the Spokane
members would be against 1t.
I'VE have within ourselves the
power to correct what we want the
legislature to correct. The last legis-

people can amend the city charter

was the slogan adopted by the Tax
payers league last night. 1t was a
great step forward in the movement
for the election OF a mayor and coun-
cilmen to serve the city without pay.
The league went on record through
the following resolution presented by
70 representative businessmen Of the
