D[f[N5[ HAS DIFFICULTY
IN GETTING IN [V|D[N([

DR.. Mary L. Latham's defense was
opened this morning before Judge
Poindexter and ran against a snag
in the very first witness called, w.
ii. Maloney, insurance man.
The witness had been called to tes-
tify regarding the insurance on tho
property at Mead, but the court ruled
that such testimony was not admiss-
ible.
John Fl, Messner, veterinary sur
geon of Mead, was next called. His
testimony related to the removal OF
his property from the store a few
hours from the time of the BURNING
of the building and to the manner OF
his acquisition of some property
which had been DIR. Latham's. A bill
of sale was introduced as evidence Of
the purchase by him on April last
of all personal property. horse and
cow, lumber, household goods, type
writer, etc, from DR.. Latham.
Attorney Henley then tried to in
troduct evidence regarding an assign
ment of Mrs. Latham for the benefit
of creditors. A question bearing on

this point asked of DR. Messner was
objected TO by Prosecuting Attorney
Barnhart and the objection sustained
by the court.
ION what ground is this objection
made and on what ground sustained?"
peremptorily asked Mr.. Henley
Il do not like the tone of the de-
mand for the reason of the courts
ruling" said Judge Poindexter, his
eye flashing, but the court will say
that the reason is that there is moth
ing in the evidence regarding any as
signment."
MIR. Henley then tried to introduce
document. Objection was made
that there was no proof regarding
the document ana the objection was
sustaited.
Absbt the only figure the supposed
assig Ament cut in the testimony of
DR. Messner was that because of a
knowledge of its existence he re-
moved his property from the Latham
store few hours before the fire, SO
that his belongings would not be
mixed up with the property said TO
be assigned.

From this the city secures no re-
turn. 1t pays for the privilege of

1t is this problem which must be
solved. 1t is a question of what to
do to punish these Migrants, to drive
them from the city and make Spokane
a place to be stunned by an undesir
able class.
Judge Hinkle is agitating the ques
ton of restoring the rock pile. He
favors the installation of the old sys-
TEN of punishment by which a cons
victed vagrant is loaded with a ball
and chain and compelled to carry
rocks from one pile to another.
But this system is not remuner-
alive to the city--is nonproductive
and borders on the farcical
To break stone is method which
appeals to many who have considered
the vagrant problem.
Another proposition is to place the
convicted Migrants in gangs with
guards ana have them cut the weeds
throughout the city, remove rocks
from the streets and in a general
way benefit the municipality and ac-
tually earn their board
All through the city there are large
weed patches and boulder strewn

The cutting Of these weeds before
they go to seed would be a sanitary
measure of great benefit.

Judge Hinkle today, that former
Chief Witherspoons idea of having
the men carry rocks back and forth
is salutary measure and decreases
the vagrancy cases. Yet there are
some objections to that plan as it is
nonproductive.
ITO produce something through Ia
Dor is apt to create discord through
the protests of laboring men who
might be affected.
"There is no doubt that cutting
weeds and cleaning up the city would
be beneficial in more ways than one.
The only objection to this plan is
the eyesore of chain gangs working
in residence districts and in public.
but would certainly prove beneficial
to the city and assuredly reduce the
number of Migrants, who would shur,

were AZ vagrancy convictions. About
one-third of this number were given

or doing petty thievery because they
do not fear the mild punishment OF
being boarded at the city's expense.
In addition to these there are petty
larceny cases against the Migrants
and a long daily list of DRINKS, most
of whom are Migrants. In none of
these cases does the punishment deter
the offenders.
1t is time that the Migrants are
punished in manner which will
drive the hundreds now infesting the
city to some other quarters. Only a
rock pile or a chain gang will do II.
The evil Is growing so rapidly that
stringent measures must be taken at
once.

Judge Hinkle Is Planning Some Way
to Clear the City of an Undesirable
Glass and Reduce Expense Of the
City Prison.

What to do with the Migrants and
hoboes is a question which is con-
fronting the city authorities. 1t is a
problem which Police Judge Hinkle
insists must be solved before the
present deplorable conditions grow
worse.
At the present time it Is safe to
say that Spokane Is burdened with
more Migrants than any other west
ern city aside, possibly. from Port
land. where the fair Is attracting I'M
usual numbers. Not one of these
Migrants contribute a penny toward
the municipal support or add to the
community interests.
On the contrary they are a menace
to public safety, an evil with which
the small police force is almost pow
erless to cope, fostering. corrupting,
filthy burden on the taxpayer.
The mild treatment of Migrants in
Spokane makes this city mecca for
hoboes. When tramp feels the need
of square meal the city prison af-
fords him a boarding house which,
through familiarity, is just as good
to him as restaurant.
So that when vagrant is arrested,
found guilty, and fined by Judge
Hinkle, 1t is present of living to
him. without the payment of work.
1t Is present to the vagrant of
$25, or $50, or SIS. according to the
amount of the fine imposed

coat, from King Edward and Queen

rubies and diamonds, and from the
prince and princess Of Wales a beau
