WHY DID NOT
ENSLEY ACT?

was the one who gave the matter
publicity and investigation today
revealed the fact that Ensley, at
the time he says he heard a rum
pus In the next room which caused
him to call the police, occupied
room No. 8, adjoining, with a wom-
an called Hrs Fulton, an ironer at
the Eastern laundry, on Second
avenue, and was constrained to
call upon the police owing to the
fact that he had been disturbed by
the noise made by the four people
in the adjoining suite of rooms.
They had been drinking much OF
the night and awoke Ensley and
the Fulton woman with their
hilarity.
The landlady of the Olinda, re-
garding Ensley, said today. This
is the rst time anything Of this
sort has happened in my house, burt
Il have been thinking Of ordering
the woman in No. 8 to leave the
place, owing 70 the fact that this
man Ensley is in her room at all
hours of the night, and did not
like the looks of things"
E. H. Ensley was arrested on
February q on charge of may
hem, preferred by E. p. Fulton, the
husband of the woman with whom
he was in room 8 In the Olindo
building. The arrest followed a
fight in front of the Wentworth
Clothing company's store on River
side avenue in which Ensley
severely chewed one of Fulton's
fingers.
Ensley and Mrs. Fulton were
walking down the street together
when Fulton approached the cou-
pie. Words lead to blows and in
the melee Ensley got Vlton's An
ger in his mouth and badly LAGER
ated it.

STREET PAYERS
COME TO BLOWS

TACOMA, June 8.-A pitched
battle occurred last evening when
the Tacoma Railroad & Power
company started a crew to work
preparatory to constructing tracks
on Commercial street from Ninth
to Seventh to get ahead of the
Traction company which was last
night granted permit to build on
this street. The Independent Paw
ing company, which was paving
the street, learned of the move of
the street car company and rushed
teams, wagons and laborers to the
scene to prevent track laying be-
fore the paving was completed, and
the crews came to blows.

MARRIAGE IS
ANNULLED

DRESDEN, Germany, June s.
On petition of Prince Frederick Of
Schoenberg- Waldenburg, the pope
has declared the marriage of the
prince to Princess Maria Alicia de
Bourbon, youngest daughter Of Don
Carlos, the Spanish pretender, null
and void.
The marriage was contracted In
1897, at Venice. The union was not
happy, and the couple separated in
1908 after precipitating one of the
greatest scandals of recent years
among the European nobility.
The princess, who eloped with
her coachman. is by no means q
pretty woman. but she is tall and
graceful and of a refined and viva
cious temperament. In a suit to
recover possession Of her young
son, which had been awarded to
Prince Frederick, she made the as
sertion that the prince Is not the
father Of the child.
Another daughter OF Don Carlos
eloped some years ago with a paint
er named Folchie.

ASSESSMENTS
AREEQU|TABLE

A committee from the Taxpayers
league will wait upon the city and
county commissioners when the
levy for taxation is made and ask
that the levy be kept as low as
possible. The levy last year was
81 mills, but the assessment this
year is over 33 per cent more than
that of last year.
THE assessment this year will
be between $4s,OOO,OOO and $50, OO0,-
000," said County Assessor Dayton
Stewart today. "A levy of rs mills
will produce as much revenue as
was produced by the levy of 81
mills on the old assessment. A levy
of q mills would produce enough
revenue to provide for the natural
increase in city and county ex-
penses."
The committee Of prominent
property owners who visited the
county assessors office yesterday
reported last night that they had
found the assessments just and
equitable. Assessor Stewart in
formed the property owners that
as he has nearly completed all Of
the assessments ne could not COM
ply with their wish to keep the
assessments down.

They were signed in a hurry and
that explains how Duffy came to

part of $1,000 to bet against $3.50
that the OKeefe-Mellody fight
would be draw, and then saying
the frame-up could not be put
through, was not brought out last
night, but members Of the board
of directors, individually, had iG
placed before them before the reg
ular board meeting. Other affairs
of a shady nature in which Mooney
had been the leading spirit were
aired before the session.
The directors also resolved that
no more fights should be pulled of
at the club during their administra-
ton, which lasts until January,
1907.
The investigation of the charges
against Quinn closes that incident
so far as the club is concerned, as
most members were confident the
charges would be proven ground
less and without foundation.

APPOINTMENT CREATES
ILL FEELING

The sole topic Of conversation
from politicians today is the news
from Washington that the name Of
Samuel A. Wells has been sent to
the senate for confirmation as re-
ceiver Of public moneys at Spo-
kane. Since early in the year a
fight for the position has been
waged by Mr.. Wells and e. j. Hyde,
the present incumbent.
After a long, bitter struggle, Mr..
Hyde displaced Mr.. Wells as re-
ceiver of the local land Office here
in the fall of 1902. Since then
Mr.. Wells mas been working to be
reinstated.
The announcement of the success
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1906-06-08

of Mr.. Wells has created a good
deal Of bitter feeling among the
supporters Of Mr.. Hyde. They
charge that Senator Piles violated
an agreement in writing made at
the slime the Spokane Legislative
delegation went to the support of
Mr.. Piles and secured his election
as United orates senator. This
agreement in writing provided that
all of the federal Office holders
in the eastern part of the state
should be renominated.
The sending of Mr.. Wells name
to the senate is attributed to the
efforts of Senator Ankeny in his
behalf as Senator Ankeny promised
Mr.. Wells the place.
