at his Office on Stevens street
"Hase your son a baby to be
adopted?"
Yes" came the eager answer.
He's around here somewhere"
How old is the baby?"
IT'S a month old. It's a good
healthy baby. but they have two and
the mother can't care for the both Of
them. She had an operation PERFORM
ed when the other baby was born.
It's Is months old now. Are you the
one that wrote about taking both Of
them?"
NO? Well you see the mother
isn't well and she had hard time
of it. It's a healthy boy and Is
bottle fed. 1t wouldn't give much
trouble. l told them they ought to
give both of the babies away.
You see she was only IA years
old when she married. Her folks lied
about the age when she married. We
didn't know they were married till 1t
was over. He was only II years old
then and the oldest baby is 16 months
old. She had an awful hard time
of 1t and they can't take care OF
them kids.
II told them to give both of them
away and there's a man wrote from
the Palouse--that's where the girl
come from--and he wanted to adopt
both of them.
They live in the 1900 block on
Mallon avenue. The baby amt there
now, but they're payin' to have 1t
kept The mother can't keep it and
she's liable to be operated again.
IF you want that baby it's a good
healthy baby and you can go right up
there and she'll tell you where to
go to see it,"
The youthful father wasn't in

the reporter why he hated children"

Water meters, expensive standpipes and big costly
reservoir.
That's what the experts sitting the water commission
have evolved for Spokane.
The commission turned in the report at o'clock this
afternoon to the mayor Tonight it will be read to the
city council.
Money galore will be needed if all the recommendations
OF the commission carried out It would look this
early in the movement that the city hall and the
half built library would have to be mortgaged
1t looks too the water Meter Gang would be able
to fight for the fosting of expensive meters
on the burdened taxpayers.
The details of the plans are of course not open to the
public until after they have been read to the council
tonight But enough is learned to warrant the statement
that it's going to be an expensive proposition.
The water commission has practically thrown away the
plans submitted by City Engineer Gill and Water Com
missioner Weymouth. In their stead plans pre-
pared by the commission experts.
These plans embrace 20 million gallon reservoir to be
located at what is known Stages orchard" near the
Southeast boulevard and and one half miles south of
Sprague avenue, west of the old Country club site.
In addition to this reservoir the commission recon-
mends expensive standppe which will about $1,000
year to
On top of all this burden the commission recommends
that the people be compelled to put in water meters
All this will be the result of the extraordinary sitting
of the experts who hired without stipulated salary
to give Spokane water system cheaper than that pro-
posed by Gill and Weymouth.

Not one of mine shall go away from

And the Manufacturing gossips
standing about applauded as they
shook and cuffed the little ones into
a less noisy state.
Walter T.. Bechtel and his young
wife live at E1923 Mallon avenue.
Bechtel works for his father, who
conducts the Bechtel Transfer COM
pany, 106 Stevens street. He makes
a fair wage and to all appearances
is able to keep his family comfort
ably.
But those who claim to know of the
case say he hats children"
According to the tale told to Chief
Waller, the Bechtels tried to get rid
of the infant soon after it was born.
This proved impossible at the time.
Then they hired a nurse to care
for the babe. The nurse, IT was told
the chief, quit because she and the
babe were compelled to stay in a cold
room upstairs. A second nurse also
quit after n short trial.
Then the babe was offered to
others Among those was Mrs. Hardy,
who lives on Helena street near the
O. r. &, N tracks.
Mother" Hardy, as she is known,
is one of those good souls to whom
everyone who knows her appeals.
At first she refused to take the
responsibility. Later she was moved
to reverse her decision because" the
police informants said, "she was
afraid the babe might die of neg
lect."

Married when but IA years of age
and the mother of two children before
she is 16, Mrs. Walter f. Bechtel and
her boy husband are looking for some
one to take their month-old babe and
care for 1t.
Persons who went to Chief of Po-
lice Waller this morning to tell that
officer about the case desclare the boy
girl mother unless she gets rid" of
the babe.
In telling the story the men COM
planning left the inference that the
child would be allowed to die Of neg
lect unless some charitable persons
took the babe away.
Two men who reported the affair
were taken to Judge Hinkle by the
chief to ascertain whether any Grim
inal action could be brought against
the Juvenile parents. The judge coun-
selled reference to President Will
Jams of the Home Finding society.
President Williams will go out to
investigate the case this afternoon.
AS reported to Chief Waller the
case is one of the most peculiar and
unusual happenings that have come
under police observation. The story
told at the station would indicate
that determined attempts had been
made to get rid of the tiny babe by
the mother and father-in any way
short of murder
The spectacle of a mother giving
away her tiny babe, suppreSsing that
maternal feeling" which is the boast
of womanhood, has aroused neigh
bors conversant with the unusual oc-
currence. 1t is the talk of the neigh
borhood where lusty-armed, full
bosomed mothers with babes on
ample hips and other tiny ones cling
ing to frayed and soiled skirts stand
about discussing the child mother.

JUDGE WILL
HOLD BOOKS

Judge Poindexter announced his
decision today in the case of Brad
bury VS.. the Waukeegan and Wash
ington Mining company. which was
on trial for several days. The action
was brought for an accounting and
a receiver.
Judge Poindexter finds from the
evidence that five stockholders of the
mining company have controlled it
tees. They have been extravagant in
the use of the funds belonging to
the company have paid themselves
literally for services. Some of the
trustees have made expensive trips
to the east on company money. The
made the trips moved and seconded
the motion to incur this expense.
The court finds that all this was
wrong and a breach of trust, but he
thinks a receiver would not benefit
the company.
Judge Poindexter orders that all
the wrongdoers be enjoined from
committing further wrong. He d.
reefs that no one collect any further
money from the treasury until the
further order of the court. He or
ders that the defaulting treasurer be
brought into the action and account
before the court, and he directs that
all of the trustees bring their bills
and accounts before the court for
examination. All this to be done
within 40 days. The court will hold
the books of the company in the
meantime.
The much-looted company is oper-
ated in Stevens county.

ROOSEVELT ON
INDIAN SCHOOL

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4-The pres
ident today sent letter to the sec
rotary of the interior giving his
views respecting the granting of
contracts for the education of Indians
in UNCONVENTIONAL schools. He said
that inasmuch as legal authority ex-
listed to grant the request of Indians
they were entitled as matter Of
moral right to have the moneys due
them used for the education of their
children at the schools of their
choice. Care should be taken to see
that the petition was genuine. The
practice is to be continued by the
department unless congress DEGREES
to the contrary or the courts decide
that the decision of the department
of justice is erroneous.

CfSSpooL CLEANED

When the people Of Peaceful Valley appealed to
The Spokane Press yesterday to help them in
averting the great dangers of an epidemic through
the overlooking of the big cesspool used by River
side avenue residents, which overfowed and flooded
the Clark avenue neighborhood, no relief was in
sight
But stirred by the great cry of the helpless in the
valley The Press published the unwelcome fact that
city officials had failed to avert such danger.
The publication and the protests had the desired
effect.
The cesspool cleaned last night by the health
department.
All of the officials concerned united to pass the
matter up to that department, Notwithstanding the
fact that DR.. Genoway had served notice the
council that the cesspoo must be attended to by the
council or the commissioners.
