ATTENDANT.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.--Mrs. Gay
Robertson, who was a member OF the
party which Senator and Mrs. Plat
took from New York across the con-
ttnent in the Senator's private car last
wear when the estrangement arose
which is now said to be the cause oil
divorce proceedings which Mrs. Plat
will institute against her husband,
lives in this city, 1912 Sixteenth
street. northwest, the fashionable sec
ton of the city. She is handsome
woman, whose beauty is enhanced by
white hair, which contrasts striking
" with her beautiful face.
Mrs. Robertson was 10th to dis
cuss the unfortunate trip which has
led to the scandal. Speaking of the
trlp Mrs. Robertson said that she had
never seen the slightest evidence OF
any friendship between Mrs. Plat and
the coachman Hedges during the trip
Hedges position. she said, during the
tourney was that of Mr.. Platt's con
fidentfal man, rather than his coach
man. and, therefore, he was shown
courtesies which would have been out
ri the question had he been the coach
man He ate at the same table with
the entire party, because the dining
room of the private car was small ahc

ing TO Senator Platts extreme feeble
ness and old age, it was Impossible
for him to accompany the ladies' on
the visits and the little excursions and
sightseeing trips they made at Vari.
Gus places where the car remained
for several days, AMI It was inevitable
that Hedges should accompany them
He was. therefore, a courier and a
Guide: and, as the Senator was Ill on
several occasions during the. journey
line responsibilities naturally fell on
Hedges.

Still Badly Mixed Up On
Bridge Payment

had notified him of its willingness
to heed the wishes of the council
in fixing responsibility for the How
ard street loss.
Today Chairman Roy says this:
I'VE received orders from the
committee of the whole Of the city
council commanding us to go to
work, fix up the Howard street
bridges and collect half of the
amount of the cost from the Wash
ington Water Power company.
"At the next meeting of the city
council resolution was passed to
the effect that the Washington
Water Power company should pay
all of the cost | do not know what
arrangements will be made with
the Washington Water Power COM
pany. They have agreed already
to pay half of the cost of recon-
struction. The late action of the
city council, to my mind, Is rather
indefinite"
From this it appears that Mr..
Roy must be satisfied that the
councils action meets his approval
before it can accomplish anything.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1906-07-20

There seems to be something
rather peculiar In the Howard
street bridge matter now incubat-
ing at the city hall.
Anr Chairman w. r. Roy of the
board of public works seems to
be peculiarly interested in what
ever is going on.
The board displayed no percept-
ible reluctance in agreeing that the
city bear half the cost of the Wash
ington Water rover company's
carelessness in letting the bridge
totter into the river.
When this astonishing demon
stration of municipal benevolence
and charity toward corporation sins
was repudiated by the city council
the board of public works seems
to have developed pronounced
case of reluctance.
1t did not know whether 1t could
carry out the councils instructions
or not. 1t experienced a desire
for conference. Soon afterwards
Chairman Roy became authority
for the announcement that the

PUTS HIS MONEY
BACK IN GROUND

MOSCOW, Idaho, July 20.-Jerry
Day, the well known mining man
and resident of Moscowfi who is
part owner of the famous Hercules
mine. has just placed part of his
wealth back into earth from which
he secured his fortune. The an.
nouncement has been made at Wal
lace that he has secured an option
on the Gold Run company's ex-
tremely rich Pilot property, located
near hurry, Idaho. Report has it
that the price was 100000 and
that Mr.. Day paid 10 per cent, or
$4,000 down.
Fourteen years ago, Louis Prayer
Of Spokane paid $3.50 for a third
interest in the Pilot and he will
now receive nearly $4,000 as his
share.

WHAT IS THE MATTER
WITH CHAIRMAN ROY

At this juncture 1t might be ad-
visable for Mr.. Roy to outline just
what would meet his approval.
Is this city governed by a coun-
Gil or the board Of public works?
The. latter body bears an uncom-
fortably large share of RESPONSE
bility for bad bridges. Is it anxious
to shrink credit for any anything
commendable in that line?
This is what Councilman Pratt
says:
The board can have no difficulty
in understanding my resolution. 1t
directs that the cost be assessed
to the Washington Water Power
company. Previous action taken
by the council in committee of the
whole is neither official nor bind
ing. the members who then agreed
to pay part of the bridge cost
thought differently when called up
On to consider the question official
ly. The council meant just what
it said"

ORGANIZED LABOR IS
OUT after M'KERNAN

has brought about the present petit
ton. 1t is argued that 1t is OPP
tional with the city officials as to
whether they granted the special
police to the Washington Water
Power company during the present
trouble, or not, and the claim is
made that the regular police could
have afforded all the protection
necessary, especially as the line
men themselves were most anxious
to avoid a clash of any kind. 1t is
also pointed out that Commissioner
Root refused an application for
special police during the telephone
strike on the ground that the reg
ular police could maintain order.
Such a man as McKernan can,
the union men say, create more
i'll feeling in one day than the reg
ular police would in a life time.

COUNTY TAILOR LOST
BRAND new TRUSTY
Man In for Long Term is
Still Missing

One year in the county Jail and
a fine of $500, was the sentence
meted out by Judge Poindexter to
w. H. Moore last January.
Moore escaped from the county
sill on the 26th of last month and
no one of the sheriff's office and
jail force has heard from him since
though they are keeping a lookout
for him.
Sheriff Doak. when asked about
the escape referred the matter to
Jailor Biglow.
Biglow said that he had sent
Moore in company with two old
TRUSTEES" to the rear of the Jail
building to saw up some four-foot
slabs into lengths which would mt
the jail cook stove. Moore became
thirsty and went into the main
courthouse building for a drink and

years and has made himself parti-

After that Breen came to his

but thus far without success. Luz

MAD DOCS
ARE THICK

FOREST, O., July 20.-Thomas
Nelan, the night marshal of the
village, has died in commissions
from mad dogs bite, and six per-
sons have been hurried to the
Pasteur institute in Chicago to be
treated for rabies as the result of
an epidemic of hydrophobia here.
Alarmed at the spread of the
malady, the chief of police and
deputies are searching the village
and surrounding neighborhood for
dogs without muzzles. Over 80
have been shot.
The infection began several days
ago in an unknown manner. Sew
eral dogs were bite and becoming
rabld, began attacking persons.

back.
Yes, we're on the lookout for
him. He'll be back here" said the
jailor. He's a quite inoffensive
fellow and we thought we could
trust him"
Yet the fact remains that a man
who had to serve 10 months of a
sentence imposed by the superior
court of this county is at liberty
1t has not been the custom to make
a prisoner a trusty until he has
proven himself. Generally no man
with any considerable length of
time yet to serve Is given the privi-
leges of roaming about the big
building and bunking in the "trus-
ties apartments.
In this instance it seems that
the authorities were the victims of
a misplaced confidence.
Moore had pleaded guilty to
stealing a coat from Charles H.
Hopkins.
