After many months of discussion

changes in the college game Of foot

and decided to double the penalty for
coaching from the side lines and to
eliminate some of the chances OF

on a player by directing the referee
to blow his whistle as soon as the for

stopped. Perhaps the rulemakers real

WASHINGTON THEATER.

Premier among 81 the vaudeville
attractions that have ever been
seen in the northwest is "Phroso",
the wonderful mechanical doll
which will be seen next week at
the new Washington theater. No
other act shown in vaudeville
houses in recent years has elected
so much favorable comment or so
much speculation. Whether "Phro-
so" is mechanical or really human
is a great problem, and one which
Spokane audiences will soon have
the opportunity of solving. Ger
tainly no enlightment can be ex-
pected from the mSnager of Phroso
for he maintains a discreet silence
on the subject.
Beside Phroso there will be an
all-feature show embracing such
artists as Vontella and Nina, pre-
mier Roman ring artists, Kenton
and Lorraine, high class musical
artists and Stephen Fitzpatrick
and his company of four people in
the playlet "The Welcome Guest"
In addition, VIM. Woodfall, who
has already become popular with
the patrons of the new vaudeville
house, will be heard in a new illus
trated song, and there will be an
entire change OF pictures on the
biograph.

MUNICIPAL
OWNERSHIP

SEATTLE, Dec. 16.-That NUM-

tant issue in the FOCAL municipal
election next spring is now a GER
tainty.
A mass convention of all citi-

held Jan. 1 in the labor temple, a
ticket being nominated at that
time.
1t will be called pursuant to reso-
lutions which were passed last
night by the Seattle labor council.
The local labor leaders are re-
sponsible for the calling of the con-
vention, which they declare, how
ever, will not be under the direc-
tion of organized labor, being pure

"SLAXES OE RUSSIA"

No doubt the drama, Slaves of
Russia" will be of great interest to
the theater gOers, as it shows the
crushing burdens Of militarism and
disagreement born by the unhap-
Ply people of Russia, brought on by
the bureaucrats and aristocrats.
The present uprising is probably
only forerunner o. great revolu-
ton not unlike the reign of terror
in France in 1912.
The period of this play takes
place when all peasants in Russia
were regarded as slaves, to the
owners of the lands they belonged
body and soul. Ivan Khorvich, a
supposed serf, but favorite of his
lord and master has become a IA
nous artist in Paris. He returns
to Russia to find that his master
has died and the son becomes the
master over all the serfs. This son
is one who he thrashed in Paris
for insulting countess at the thea
ter, so of course he is made to feel
his humiliation doubly by the son.
But as the plot unfolds we find that
he is the rightful heir, as Khorn,
an old slave, exchanged children
when they were infants. The story
is an interesting one and with the
comedy scenes will be one of the
strongest bills this season.

SET FIRE TO
HIS CLOTHING
Extinguised Flames : In An
Instant.


Z. 4. Hand, general agent for the
Phoenix Dry Powder Fire extin-
guisher, gavea spectacular exhibition
Of its usefulness in extinguishing
fires on the street last evening. A
large box with infamable material
was lighted. The flames we're shoot
ing thirty feet into the air, but were
extinguished in ten seconds by few
handfuls Of the powder. These fire
extinguishers are cheap and should be
placed in every home and business
house. They will do the work if used
in time and save the damage caused
by water, and possibly human life.
He also poured gasoline and coal oil
on his clothing and touched a match
to them. AS soon as the flames would
shoot up they we're instantly extin-
guished with the powder.
If stores, hotels, dwellings and 9TH
places were equipped with these ex-
tinguishers a fire Of any magnitude
during the day time would be almost
an impossibility.
