uhD5L[1, PEOPLES fR|[hD,
ALSO CORPORATIONS SLAVE

Politicians about the city are en-
1oying hugely the situation in which
Councilman Joe Lindsey has been
placed by the fight for the charter
amendment providing for the refer
endum of franchises to the people.
Two years ago Lindsey was posing
as great friend OF the labor unions.
At the request of the labor vote he
introduced in the legislature the very
law which permits of the submission
of the charter amendment to the
people.
The last session Lindsey overlook
cd the labor people and in the inter
ests of the corporations introduced
and worked for house bill No. 80.
This bill was defeated, but Lindsey
stil obeyed the orders of Charley
Hopkins and the corporations and got
UP in the council to fight against and
to try to defeat the very measure to
which his bill gave birth.
The spectacle of Joe Lindsey fight
ing for the corporations against his
own bill is merely one of the in
stances of what man will do when
he adopts politics as n means of live
lihood.
In the fight over the franchise

amendment the councilmen. under or
ders from the corporations, buried the
other valuable amendments proposed
to relieve the mixed condition OF af-
fairs at the city hall.
Those amendments proposed a
plan whereby one city commissioner
could be Topped off and the city engi-
neer made a member OF the board of
public works, thus making a saving
to the city. as well as the amendment
transferring the police department
control to the mayor and the chief
of police. are lost to the people at
this time because of the councilmen,
controlled by the corporations, using
their influence to defeat the franchise
amendment and sacrificing the other
amendments to politics.
All of these things must come out
during the coming campaign and the
records of some of the corporation
councilmen will certainly insure their
defeat If they are lucky enough to Sc
cure denominations.

A number of other people have
duct and stated that he was drunk
at different times. The following are
some of them:
January 1S.-Mr. Hosler came to
my room at the Wilmington on Janu-
airy II, 1905, in a drunken condition.
He was abusive and did not conduct
himself in a manner becoming a gen.
tleman. He was to drunk to handle
sick people. (Signed)
MARY FIELDS"
January Isl met Mr. Hosler in
Mrs. Fields room on January II.
1905. I must say he was so drunk he
could hardly stand up and was not in
a condition to handle or take care of
sick people. He was so drunk that he
went into rooms that he had no BUSH
ness in. He was also abusive
(SignedD
MRS. SADIE STEPHENS"
The statement of little 14-year-old
Zoa Reynolds is withheld from pub
LEGATION on account of her age.
The board of health has had these
letters in it's possession since Janu-
ary Is and Hosler is still in its EN-
ploy. Why?
Otis sent in his resignation because
he was afraid he would be fred for
drunkenness. He makes no denial of
his weakness in this respect.
Why should this man Hosley not
resign with the same fear In his soul,
is the question the public wants an
swered Why is he holding his posi-
ton on this 30th day of March, 1905,
two months after the evidence of his
disreputable conduct is in the board s
hands?
The stencil from some Of the insti-
buttons over which this health board
Is supposed to preside is greater than
the offal which its hirelings are sup
posed to collect from the city's
streets.
How long do it's members expect
the patience of a long suffering pub
lie to Withstand the strain they are
putting on it2
Otis is gone. Now let us have q

ANGRY COLD, OR
DID HE LACK CLOTHES?

Was it pride or necessity that
caused J. r. Amory Of the Shirley
company to keep his overcoat on last
night at the Spokane theater? Mr.
Amory, with other members of the
Shirley company, occupied a front
box and why Mr.. Amory did not re-
move his overcoat caused a great deal
of talk among the audience.
The truth is Mr.. Amory is very
proud and perhaps never attended a
theater before unless he was in eve
ming dress. He left South Africa a
few months ago to join the Shirley
company in Spokane. AS soon as he
arrived in New York he forwarded
his baggage to Spokane and stayed
few days in the metropolis. He
wanted to make sure that his bag
gage arrived as soon as he did. 1t

been here Thursday, March 20, if it
had not been burned in the Great
Northern wreck in Idaho.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-03-30

Amory arrived in Spokane Sunday,
the 26th, to learn the fate of his
trunks and dress clothes. He then
went to the Grand hotel and asked
for room without a wardrobe. Mr..
Amory said:
II have always been used to look
ing at the funny side of things, but
this is really serious, you see. I
had all the trinkets that I had COL
lected in a trip around the world. be-
sides my costumes and 33 wigs. Now
I suppose I will be compelled to al
ways play the part of a bald-headed
man."
Mr.. Amory was with the j. Daniel
Frawley company for a number of
years and was with it when it broke
up in Asia. He is one of natures
own comedians and will be a great
addition to the Shirley company.
The Shirley company opens it's en-
gagement at the Auditorium next
week.
