SAYS GRAVES

1t was lately suggested by some
Of Senator Will Graves friends that
he look over the Oregon initiative
and referendum law and satisfy
himself that it Is one he could sup
port, providing he is reelected to
the state senate, and that he pub
fish a statement to that effect. Mr..
Graves, however, refused to do so
or to make any statement further
than the one he has made to the
local referendum league. He said
he has always stood for the reforms
advocated by the league; that his
position on these issues at various
times in the past has helped to
make possible the present agita-
ton in favor of thee laws; that he
has always given labor its due and
stands ready to rise or fall on his
past record in the state senate. He
believes that to modify his letter to
the league in any way would show
weakness on his part.

lice department. Detectives were

Word has been received from
Word has been received from
Detective Macdonald, now in Port
land, Ore, that he IS being greatly
assisted by detectives Of that city
but thus far nothing has developed
that would point towards the MUIR
derer. Pinkerton, Thiele and local
detectives have thrown up their
hands on the highwayman theory
and are giving general attention to
Reno Hutchinson's past, his court
ship of Mrs. Hutchinson and bust
ness connection. There is some be-
lief that the courtship will develop
revengeful sweetheart of Mrs.
Hutchinson's and thereby offer a
clew to insane jealousy as the mo-
tive.

BOARD FILES
ANSWER

Assistant Corporation Counsel
Winston this morning filed a mo-
ton in the superior court to set
aside the restraining order granted
Julia V. Costello against the Spo-
kane board Of public works. She
alleged that bids on Cedar street
Improvements effecting her prop.
erty had been opened by the board
contrary to city ordinance, and Sc
cured temporary injunction. In an
swering her complaint the board
contends there is not facts enough
to warrant action. Commissioners
Roy, ONO and O'Brien filed affida-
Wits stating that Contractor Peter
Costello was really the one behind
the complaint and not his sister,
Julia v. Costello. These aff1da-
Wits stated that bids had been
opened in accordance with the pro-
visions of the ordinance and that
Peter Costello bid $3.50 on tho
work and H. L. Mllienthal $1,150.
Then Costello claimed to have
made a mistake in his figures and
asked that his bid be withdrawn.
Each member of the board denied
having a penny's interest in the
contract. 1t Is further charged
that Attorney John A. Pierce, who
brought the action for Miss Cos
tello, is really ePter Costello's at
torney and In the contractors pay

mounted POLICE
TO GUARD CITY

A stormy session resulted when
the city council met last night in
special session to consider In
creased police protection. After
considerable discussion, Council
man Estep's proposition for force
of 80 patrolmen, 10 Of them mount
ed, was modified and an agreement
reached to add 10 mounted men to
the present force Of 3S patrolmen.
The proposal to employ but two
detectives was buried, and 1t was
decided to keep the five detectives
now on duty. The ordinance will
be passed Tuesday night. Salaries
for mounted police were fixed at
SIS per month for the first year,
with an allowance Of SIS per month
for horse feed. The men are to
supply their own mounts.
Councilman Pratt provoked ap-
plause from the spectators by say
ing that If the present police force
would work as 1t should there
would be no need Of an addition to
the force. He said there are so
dives where no heed is paid to the
law, and that If 20 men he could
name on the department were given
free hand they would rid the city
of the tough element in hurry.
Following the action of the coun-
Gil, Chief Waller gave orders that
his men should go forth with the
intention Of arresting every person
having no visible means Of support.

saloons that have boxes.

averse to arrestlng the white

litical influence they pretend to
