DECIDED HIT
JESSIE SHELLEY PLAYS TO AN
IMMENSE HOUSE, AND WITH
HER ABLE COMPANY WINS
NEW LAuREEs IN SPOKANE.

Last night witnessed the opening
performance of the summer stock
season at the Auditorium. The Shir-
ley company can be proud of their
reception. The house was packed
from pit to roof. 1t was an enthusi-
astic audience and the applause gave
evidence that something of a wei
come home" was in progress. Old
members of the company received
royal greetings and the new found
fresh admirers.
The performance was worthy of the
applause it received. "A Modern
Magdalen" was it's title and it was
one of the best ever presented by this
company in Spokane. The moral tone
of the play was not of the best, but
its dramatic strength warrants its
production and defends Miss Shirley
in it's choice.
Miss Shirley gave strong pre-
sentation of Katrinka. 1t was equal
to her best work In this city. which
is saying much. The role OF Jenkins,
as protrayed by George McQuarrie,
was one of the evenings hits. w. c.
Abrams as the reformer and Wilson
Forbes as Brinker won merited APP

pany deserved credit and received II

graduated on her first night. The

out the week

WON'T NJURf THE
CITY WATER SUPPLY

Concerning complaints which are
being made daily by irate citizens
that the city has no right to sell
water to the Spokane Improvement
company and incidentally the Country
club. whose property is without the
city limits, while the city proper is
without an adequate water supply,
Mr. A. L. White of the Spokane I'M
provement company and member
of the Country club made a state
ment as follows:
when the matter is fully under
stood it will be seen that no injustice
can be done any citizen by the sale
of water to us. The city is building
a 376,000-gallon tank on Cooks hill,
which will be connected directly with
the city mains and into which water
will be pumped from the river to in
crease the city water supply. We are
building 50.000-tank Of our own
farther out than the city's standpipe,
from which our addition and the
Country club will get it's water.
Now. we will pump water from the
city's standpipe into ours only at
night when there is no shortage in
the city. Thus the citizens can not
be injured. But in addition, If the
water in the city's standpipe is need
ed for city use, draining into the city
mains as it does, there will be no
water left there for us to pump and
we can not injure the city water sup
ply. To sum it up, we can only pump
when there Is a surplus water supply
in the standpipe, and then no one will
be injured, and the city will get an
increased revenue"

BUTTE, Mont. May s.-Judge
Clancy this morning sustained the
motion filed by c. NJ Parr on behalf
of the defendants in the case of Peter
Peterson VS. I. B. King and others,
which is known as the banner boycott
case.
This case was the result Of the
warfare between the bartenders OF
the International union and those
who preferred TO organize under the
American Labor union, of which
Daniel Mcdonald is president Men
were hired to walk in the street in
front of the saloon where bartenders
were employed who did not join the

against the unions, and the case pre-
sented on behalf of the proprletors
on the ground that such an act was
an unlawful conspiracy. A perma-
nent Injunction was sought against
the unions, but this has been denied.

claimed that she was married to
Mount and that Mount had been pre-

east She was unable to produce u

particulars of the marriage or Of
Mounts divorce.
So far there has been no fight made
by Jennie Mount. The administrat or

whom she called her husband TO be
taken from her without a fight is
doubted.
