ASK COUNTY DADS
FOR A FRANCHISE
TO BUILD INTERURBAN RAIL WAYS
Frederick Elmendorf and Others
Make What Seems to be Fair
Proposition.

Through their agent. 7. A. Noble,
Frederick Elmendorf and others of
Spokane have filed with the county
commissioners a franchise to be act
ed on this week. This franchise was
asked for yesterday and is for the
right to construct and operate a sin
gle track, standard gauge railway
along county roads and across coun-
ty bridges, wherever this may be
practicable. The trains over this
road are to be run either by steam
or electricity.
The company agrees that if the
franchise be granted they will COM
mence work within 80 days or for
felt a deposit of $4,000, and have
five miles of railway in operation by
the first of January, 1908. After
January l the county is to receive
l mill for each car mile operatc6
from that time on.
1t seems to be the intention of the
company to build first into the
Mckee, on into the upper Mckee and
finally across the Priest rapids on
the Columbia. This scheme has been
under consideration for some time
and everything is now in readiness
to go ahead with it. The company
has plenty of money and are anxious
to put in this new line

CONSTITUTION NOT VIOLATED.
So Says Justice Harlan in the Matter
of Deportation of PcttibOne.

WASHINGTON, Dec. An de-
Gliding that the United States court
has TO jurisdiction in habeas corpus
proceedings of Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone, who are incarcerated at
Boise in connection with the muroer
of Former Governor Steunenberg,
the United States supreme court,
speaking through Justice Harlan to-
day said that the appellate court
could not perceive anything done in
Colorado in connection with the ar
rest of petitioner and his deporta-
tion, however hastily or inconsiier-
ately done that can be adjudged to
be in violation of the constitution or
laws of the United States. He said
the governor of Colorado is not COM
PEELED to demand proof beyond that
in extradition papers and his failure
to do so cannot be regarded as an
infringement of any right of the pc,
titioner. The court said If petition

APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT.
Hostile Demonstration Followed u
Forced Advance i'm Price of Meat.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Following
the recent demonstrations by their
customers due to the advance in the
retail price of meat, the Hebrew Re-
tail Kosher Butchers association
met today to decide what could be
done to appease their patrons.
Speakers declared they are helpless
to lower the prices asked by them,
as they were obliged to pay increased
prices at wholesale.
1t was finally voted to appeal to
President Roosevelt and ask the
chief executive, through the press
and public, to fight the beef trust.
1t was agreed to make an effort TO
secure joint action with all the
butchers in Greater New York.

TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF.
Man Said to be Yakima Ranchcr
Cuts Throat i'm Seattle.

SEATTLE, Dec. An a fit of de-
spondency over a prospective loss in
real estate proposition near his
home in North Yakima, Henry Buzz
man, wealthy rancher of that place,
attempted to commit suicide this
evening in the Stevens hotel by swal-
lowing large quantity of quinine
and later hacking his throat with a
penknife.
Buzzman came here Saturday in
company with a Yakima politician
named Linbarker, for the purpose of
disposing of $22,O 900 ranch through
local agency. He learned today
that he did not really own the prop
erty which he intended to sell, and
before he could sell it he would nave
to stand loss of $500 in the profit
he had anticipated. The prospective
loss drove him into an acute but vio-
lent attack of dementia, and after
writing a letter of farewell to his
wife and turning over his personal
effects to Linebarker, he seized the
only weapons of self destruction in
sight, the quinlne and the small
knife He is now in the insane ward
of the county prison.-Seattle Spe-
cial to Tacoma Ledger.
(The name of Buzzman seems to
be unknown here, and the only per-
son who might answer the descrip-
ton of the real estate man is l.. H.
Linbarger. He was out of town last
night, however, and no particulars
could be learned.)

Forsyth, Tetreau and Fred Shaw Highly COmpll-
mented by Vote They Decentralization
was Very Strenuous One

The campaign that closed with
membered in this city. 1t was one
of the hardest fought the city ever
passed through. 1t was bitter at
times, and yet it was never without
its ridiculous features. 1t resulted
in almost complete victory for the
business mems ticket because the
policy of this party was nearest the
will of the people. It's over now,
and everybody that took the slight
est interest, even, in the issues, is
glad.
The election passed off very quiet
ly Voting continued in all the wards
in an even and steady manner. The
polls closed promptly at Z, and an
hour later the result was known to
a certainty. Two hours more and all
who were anxiously seeking the re-
turns were gratified at being able to
get them in full. The Herald was
besieged with queries by phone until
after midnight, and many were the
expressions of satisfaction heard
when the result was told. The total
number of votes cast was slightly be-
low 1900, out of a registration of
1640. The successful candidates
were: O. A. Fechter for mayor. w.
l.. Steinweg for -at-large,
Chas. E. Forsyth for attorney, Thos.
Tetreau for health officer, j. c.
Brooker for clerk and c. r. Donovan
for treasurer; for councilmen, Fred
Shaw in the First, Nelson Smith in
the Third and Harry Null in the
Fifth.
Mr.. Fechter should certainly feel
gratifed with the splendid endorse
ment given him by his fellow towns
men, especially in view of the hard
| fight made against him-a fight
backed up by interests that few men
would dare to oppose. For the same
reason every man on the ticket
should feel the same way.
The following figures show now
| the voting went. 1t will be noticed
that Mr.. Armbruster's home ward
gave him majority of As, where he
figured he would get 80 per cent
of the votes cast. His friends claim
ed he would be elected by a major
ity of $50, but they, like he, were
| mistaken

REPUBLICANS BOLT JOHNSON

Believing that City Councilman A. NJ
Sproesser was euchred out of the Republican
nomination for Congress in the Third Con.
gressonal district, Is of his friends. without
his knowledge, met Monday night at 1853
South Charles street, Baltimore, and adopted
resolutions favoring Harry B. Wolf, the
Democratic opponent of Mr.. William W.
johnson, who was given the Republican
nomination.
The Is Republicans who took this action
last night comprise the white membership of
the George Nj. Creighton Republican Club of
the Twenty. second Ward, which also has 80
colored members. Mr.. George M. Creighton
said Tuesday, that he thought the colored
members would be influenced by the Clubs
official action.
"Mr. Sproesser was in no wise party to
the decision we reached not to support Mr..
Johnson" said Mr.. Creighton. "We are all
friends of Mr.. Sproesser's, however, and we
feel very sore at the way he was frozen out of
the running in this district. He deserved the
nomination and should have had it. Mr..
Johnson may be all right, but he doesn't look
good to US, and, in order to place ourselves
on record in opposition to him and to the
boss methods which made his nomination
possible, we decided TO support Mr.. Wolf"

State Treasurer Berry, of Pennsylvania,
is giving the Republican machine of that
State much-needed lesson. Berry is a
Democrat, but he is supported by the
Philadelphia Press, and the Lincoln Re-
publicans, as well as the Democratic party.
He is sitting the charges Of extravaganza
and graft in the building of the new Capt.
tol to the very bottom. He has exposed
much fraud and corruption and has called
upon Attorney General Carson to prosecute
the Pennypacker Board of Public Build
ings and Grounds and demand an account
ing. President Roosevelt may plead for
the grafters, but he can't save them.

Democrats to Gain in the West.
From the Baltimore Sun of October II.


So strong is the sentiment in favor of a
change of tariff schedules in some of the West
ern States, as in Iowa and Wisconsin. that
Republican candidates find it necessary to
repudiate the stand.pat policy OF their party.
In the Wisconsin primaries Republican can
didates were defeated for nomination because
they were identified with the stand pat policy.
All the Republican candidates in that State
are committed to revision, though their party
is against any sort of revision. While this
sentiment finds more open expressions in
Iowa and Wisconsin, it is common throughout
the West and, for that matter, practically
throughout the country.
The Democrats ought to gain three or four
members of the House from Illinois, five from
Indiana, four or five from Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Iowa, five in Missouri and the
South, four in New Jersey and New England,
six or seven in Kansas, Nebraska, California
and Colorado, and four in Ohio. Several of
the fusion candidates, as opposed to the Re-
publican regulars, should be elected in Penn.
syvania.
Even these gains would not alone give the
Democrats the next House, but with nothing
to check the drift favorable to tariff revision
or to distract attention from other issues the
Democratic gains might 60 far beyond any
thing indicated by these figures.

French Submarine Sinks.

B1sERTA, TUN1s, Oct. 16.-The French
submarine boat Lutin left here this morning
for plunging experiments. Signals received
at 10 clock tonight reported her disappear
ance. Two torpedo boats and three tugs
have gone out in search of the submarine.
1t appears almost certain, according to
news received al late hour tonight, that the
crew of the Luin has suffered fate similar
to that which overlook the crew of the sub.
marine Farfadet here last year. The crew OF
the Lutn numbered IA men, under command
of Lieutenant Phoepen.
The Democratic advocate., 1906-10-19

IF the Administration would do some
thing to stop the tariff protected trusts
from constantly advancing prices, there
would be general rejoicing. The plan
adopted of fining few of the trusts, vir-
tually finse the American people, for the
trusts get even by putting up the price of
their products. The Republican plan of
standing pat and thus lodging the real
trust issue, may have the advantage of
making the trusts subscribe to campaign
funds, as it leaves the road clear for the
'soptirfed plundering of the consumers
sspst high prices.
