At recent meeting Of the city
council Captain John Gray introduced
a resolution looking to the establish
ment of a municipal lighting plant
with the surplus power going to
waste at the up-river pumping sta
ton.
This resolution called upon the en-
Eineer's department for facts and fig
nres on this surplus power. From
City Engineer Mcintyre The Press
has obtained the following schedule,
showing the condition of things at
the up-river station:
Minimum power Of present dam,
2400 horse power; by raising dam 10
feet 1t would increase the power to
$500 horsepower; the proposed
pumping plant operated at its maxi
mum capacity will require 1903 horse
power, leaving for future extensions
and lighting purposes 1897 horse
power; present number of art lights
require approximately 220 horse
power.

CITY HAS TWO THOUSAND HORSE
POWER FOR ITS LIGHTING PLANT

originally appointed as one OF the
advisory board for Spokane's new
water scheme, discovered that the
city's plant at Cedar Lake had a
spurlus Of about $500 horse power.
He asked the city council for an ap-
preparation with which to erect poles
and string wires to the city, This
was granted and he at once secured
patronage from line which did not
extend to the heart of the city.
The appearance of this small work
had its immediate effect on the mo-
nopolistic plants of the private cor
porations Their rates tumbled down
from third to a half.
If Seattle can accomplish this very
desirable result Of reduction in
rates with 2500 horse power OF its
own, Spokane, smaller In population,
can do It with the 1000 horse power
indicated by City Engineer Mcintyre.
At least the overwhelmed taxpayer
of Spokane has the right to have the
plan tried and every citizen should
lend Captain John Gray every assist
ance possible In getting this munich
pal plant authorized by the city coun-
Gil.
What saving would this plant
mean?
with 80 additional lights added this
year, the city will pay $25,32e for
It's lighting.
A handsome return on the expense
of this could be obtained by the sale
Of the surplus l777 horse power.

Spokane Can illuminate its Own SITS.
and Have Seventeen Hundred H. P.
to Sell According to Engineer Me-
Intyre's Figures--Seattle's Success.

These figures prove conclusively
that it is possible for Spokane to
have lighting plant Of its own and
furnish competition for the monopoly
which has about everything its own
way hereabouts.
These figures mean that the city is
now developing 2400 horse power and
by raising the heighth Of the dam,
as the Washington Water Power COM
pany is doing at the lower falls in
the city. this power can be increased
to $500 horse power.
Then the city would have a sur
plus of 1897 horse power and only 220
horse power needed for public street
ighting-leaving l777 horse power as
nucleus for competition with the
water power monopoly in the open
market.
Perhaps the minimizing reader be-
lieves this would produce no results.
Let us look at seattle's efforts in this
line.

EYE WITNESS TELLS
HOW CRANE WAS SHOT

Mrs Sadie Lee proved this morning
very strong witness to the defense
of James Mayo, on trial for the MUIR
der of William Crane, bartender at
the Columbia hotel.
Mrs. Lee resided in rooms above
the saloon outside of which the shot
was fired which killed Crane. Mrs.
Lee said that she heard a racket and
much profanity issuing from the sa-
loon below.
1T was good, strong United States

She went to the window by the time
the scuffling had got outside the sa-
loon door. She saw Crane throw
down one of three men and knock
him down again. AS the victim of

the blow was trying to rise she saw
him shoot Crane. She identified Mayo
as this man.
The point made by the evidence
about the swearing is, that if it were
in the English language, it must have
come from Crane, as neither of the
three Italians could speak English.
If Crane were doing the swearing, he
was certainly in readiness for row,
and that would establish provocation.
The ensuing blow which knocked
Mayo down could be presumed to con-
stitute legitimate grounds for shoot
ing in self defense.
Testimony in the case will probably
be all in by night.

POLICE BOARD REHEARINGS.
Precedent Established Governing Mo-
lions in Cases.

In connection with the overruling by the
police trial board Of the application of Pri-
vate Charles H Bray for rehearing on
his case precedent governing motions for
rehearings Of police cases before the board
has been established upon the recommen-
dation of Assistant Corporation Counsel A.
Leftwich Sinclair, chairman of the board.
The rules proposed by Chairman Sinclair,
which have been approved by Commissioner
West are as follows:
"The application for a rehearing in police
cases should be supported by affidavit clear
ly showing that the newly discovered EVIL
dence is material to the issue and will prob
ably change the result If the case is re-
opened.
1.-The nature of the newly discovered evil
dence and the names of the witnesses
should be stated, in order that the board
may determine whether the evidence al
legged to be material is in fact competent
and material, and will probably change the
result if the case is reopened. Facts must
be stated, and not mere conclusions.
'In addition to the affidavit of the appli-
cant, the newly discovered evidence must
be established by the aff1davits of the new
witnesses, setting forth the facts to which
they will testify.
1.-The reason for requiring the affidavits
of the new witnesses is to guard against
unfounded applications and to present the
best rather than hearsay evidence of what
such witnesses will relate"
Private Bray was found guilty by the
trial board of intoxication and insubordina-
tion and the board recommended his re-
moval from the force. The recommendation
has been approved by Major Sylvester and
Commissioner West.

DECISION OF GEN. DAVIS.
Major Fowler May Retain Office Until
Gov. Brodie Succeeds Him.

Judge Advocate General Davis has rem
dered a decision to the Secretary of War
in the case of Major George S. Fowler.
assistant chief CT the record and pension
office, to the effect that he may legally
retain that Office until such time as the
President signs the commission of Major
Alexander o. Brodie, recently confirmed
to that office by the Senate, after the
nomination of Major Fowler had been
withdrawn by the President. Major Fow-
Ter was appointed to the Office August 1,
1904, and has been on duty at the War
Department ever since. His appointment
was made during the recess of Congress.
and like all such appointments, was to run
until the close of the succeeding session of
the Senate.
Early in the present session the President
sent his nomination to the Senate with the
view, 1t Is stated. of appointing Major
Brodie to the Office when Major Fowler
should be promoted by the retirement of
Lieut.. Col. John Tweedale in May next.
While Major Fow1er's nomination was
pending legislation was enacted that when
the office of assistant chief of the record
and pension office next became vacant it
should be filled by detail from the line of
the army. Inasmuch as that provision
would preclude the appointment of both
Major Fowler and Major Brodie, the Presi-
dent withdrew the nomination of Major
Fowler and sent in that of Major Brodie.
The latter nomination has been confirmed,
thus legislating Major Fowler out of Office.
Major Brodie desires, however. to serve in
his present capacity as governor of Arizona
until the 10Th instant, and. as the judge
advocate general has decided. with the ap-
prevail of the Secretary of War. that his
appointment to the army does not become
effective until mis- commission is actually
signed by the President. it has been decided
to defer that action until February Is.
Major Fowler will therefore serve until
that date, and it is understood that the
President will appoint him to some other
good federal office outside of the army.

THE SENATE.

Al the beginning Of the session today the
Senate passed the House joint resolution
authorizing the director of the census to
publish additional statistics relating to cot
ton. Il also provides for gathering statis-
tics relating to marriage and divorce.
Mr.. Bailey presented the credentials Of
his colleague, Mr.. Culberson, for the term
beginning March next.
Mr.. NeWlandS spoke on the question Of
railway consolidation basing his remarks
upon his resolution for the appointment Of
commission to formulate national rail-
road incorporation act.
He charged that most of the railroad
stock is watered. but said that the country
could afford to legalize present watering
to prevent watering in the future
The agricultural appropriation bill was
then taken up and its reading continued
The amendment imposing a fine for grazing
live stock on forest reserves without q
permit was disagreed to.
There was quite an extended debate over
a provision in the bill relating to forest
reservations, in which Messrs. German
Proctor, Fulton. Clay, Hansbrough, Hey
burn, Patterson, Teller and Platt (Conn)
participated
Mr.. Fulton suggested that the government
was going too fast in the matter of forest
reservations, and Mr.. Teller said the forest
reserves We're becoming curse rather than
a blessing
at o'clock the consideration of the ap-
preparation bill was suspended in order to
permit the joint statehood bill to be taken
up, but before that was done the Senate
adopted resolution calling upon the Sec
rotary of the Interior for information as
to the reasons for postponing the opening
OF the Uintah Indian reservation in Utah.
Mr.. Long spoke at length on the state
hood bill. He devoted his attention espe-
eially to Oklahoma 5 claims to statehood,
saying that by every test and standing it Is
entitled to admission to the Union.
