sugar factory, who boards at the home
of Mrs. Lizzie Dobson, 165 South MAR
street, has been in terrible agony since
Saturday as the result of swallowing two
shingle nails while at work in the cooper
shop. 1t was thought possibly that hs
would have to be removed to the hospi
tai and an operation performed. MI
Cook was one of the night foremen ir
the factory and the work in the cooper
shop was not one of his regular duties
Hence it came about that for the frs
time in his life he put nails in his mouth
while at work with the barrels. d.
Woods who is attending him says thai
it is not an unusual thing for shinglers
and fathers to swallow nails and thai
| they usually escape serious consequences

Special Correspondence Of The

LONDON, Dec. 11-With an an
nual salary of s17,500 a year, the
United States ambassadors in Eu-
rope are spending between 100000
and $4,000 annually to maintain
socially the dignity of America
Never before has America been
represented in the principal Euro

of ambassadors. Whitelaw Reid in
London, Charlemagne Tower in

and Geo. Won L. Meyer in St.

what was wrong from the Press.
Now there are several things in
this letter which we wish to call
attention.
It is written by Alrich, himself,
and is exceedingly polite and al
most as humble" as an Urah
Heap epistle.
This politeness has come to Mr..
Aldrich and other employees of the
gas company since the Press ar
ticles on gas have been appearing.
Some months ago Mr.. Simpsons
appeal ter rstice would have met
but a cold reception and it would
have been many a day before he
would have secured a letter signed
by the great Aldrich, himself
There are few such letters extant
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-12-11
admitted BY ALDR|CH

This letter writer would have
the public believe that such in
stances are rare-that it is not a
practice-that men get fired" for
doing such things.
But we can assure the public
that there were other cases-that
the company knew them to exist
that they were not investigated
when reported and that no one was
''fired" for doing the job.
But the Press had not exposed
this little game at that time.
Mr.. Aldrich leaves the recipient
of this letter under the impression
that if the perpetrators were still
in the employ of the company he
would be summary dealt with.
That looks like shifting RESPONSE
bility upon a poor gasfitter.
Why don't Mr.. Aldrich tell why
this custom of making connections
through" another mans meter
is not stopped by general order.
1t looks like very dangerous
practice even though reported to
the office. And, the Press knows
of employees of the gas company
having been fired for knowing too
much about that self-same office
and it's methods, but never a one
for robbing customers for the COM
pany.
In concluding this tale of the
Gas company's woe, it is pleasing
to be able to present some sub
stantial justice which one poor
consumer has gotten from this
company-it is so rare it is worthy
of note. The following statement
accompanied the above letter:

The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-12-11

The above letter speaks for
itself. 1t is an acknowledgement
of a practice which The Press has
exposed on two or three occasions,
1t is an acknowledgement over the
signature of W. A. Aldrich, general
manager of the Gas company.
The practice consists of making
one person pay for his own and his
neighbor's gas by taking the neigh,
boris gas from the pipes after il
has passed through the first mans
meter The neighbor also pays
for the gas he consumes. His gas
Is twice paid for.

was discovered through the doub
