JENSEN STARTS TROUBLE
Spokane Manager Wires Secretary
Farrell to Head Off Clark
Griffith.

Spokane, July H.-Where, oh where is
Pitcher Jensen?
President Dorsey doesn't know, Ferris
doesn't know, nobody seems to know. But
Dorsey does know that transportation was
wired Monday and the speedy southpaW
should have been here before this time
Word was received from Salt Lake last
evening to the effect that Clark Griffith
of the New York Americans has offered
Jensen trial and that the latter had
wired to send transportation.
This announcement stirred President
Dorsey OF the Indians into action and this
morning a telegram was sent TO Secretary
Farrell of the National association The
message was short but to the point. 1t
said:
Jensen. the Salt Lake pitcher, accepted
our terms July s.
Under the laws of the association this
puts the sOuthpaw out of the reach of
Griffith until Dorsey has had a chance
at him. Jensen has also had an offer
from the Pueblo team in the Colorado
league, but has announced that if he does
not go TO New York he will come TO Spo-
kane.
The trouble is that Jensen is badly
needed here right at the present mo.
ment Belt is not in condition yet, Frank
lin and Rush are a little lame, and Sam
uels didn't prove to be a wonder yester-
day as was hoped.

CHOSEN FOR PERILOUS RIDE
Engineers Will Drive Two Monster
Locomotives to Their Destruc-
ton Next Monday

From among all those who answered
the lure of exciting adventure two men
have at last been chosen to drive the
locomotives which will be sent into the
collision at Agricultural park next Mon
day afternoon. These men are j. f..
Stencer, whose reputation as one of the
most courageous and at the same time
competent engineers on the Salt Lake
railroad led to his selection, and p. NJ.
Raymond, whose run is from Needles
TO Los Angeles, hauling the Overland
express.
Both declare they will stay by the
throttles of the two engines until they
are almost upon each other and going
forty miles an hour.
Mr.. Stencer has been railroadng
many years. He was with the Union
Pacific until two years ago, when he
went to Salt Lake and had an engine
running over the Yellowstone division
when buffalo herds still roamed the
plains and were a constant source of
danger to engineers who had night
runs.
Mr.. Raymond has had all sorts of ex-
periences with washouts among the
New Mexican and Arizona canyons and
avalanches and wrecked snowsheds in
the Rockies. And both men have many
times been in tight places from which
they rescued themselves only by their
quick wits and courage.
A public exhibition of the two loco
tives in operation will be given at the
park Sunday afternoon and on Monday
Donatelli's band of 100 pieces will fur
nish the musical preliminaries to the
sensational show-the collision.

Option on More Frontage

1t became known yesterday that an
option has been secured on 100 feet
frontage on the west side of Broadway,
adjoining the Vogel block on the south,
between Seventh and Eighth streets.
This frontage is gilt-edged and will
doubtless be sold before the expiration
of the option.
The option on the Hotel Palms prop
erty, together with adjoining frontage
south, between Sixth and Seventh
streets, west side of Broadway, is still
held by real estate firm. The repre-
sentative of the Saulte ste. Marie, Mich,
firm, who has been figuring on using
the Hotel Palms lot as the site for
a big department store, has returned
from a trip east. Is is understood that
the eastern company regards Los An
geles S a very inviting field to engage
in business on an extensive scale. So
far as known the eastern people have
no intention of applying for a lease
on the new Tehama block. The Hotel
Palms frontage will afford the firm a
frontage on Hill street, provided they
can purchase the Y. M. C. A. lot at the
rear and frontage on Hill street.
There was considerable gossip cur
rent yesterday about the possible pur-
chase of the Vogel corner as a site
for the proposed Majestic theater, an
Improvement that was planned and
temporarily abandoned about a year
ago.

WILL REVIVE SCHMESS CASE
Police Commissioners and Mayor Are
~ Served With Subpoena In Li-
cense Controversy

Mayor McAleer was yesterday served
with a writ Of review in the William
Schmess case, and again the entire
story will have to be threshed out in
court. Members of the police commits
sion have been served with subpoenas.
The case involves the discretionary
powers of the police commission in the
granting of saloon licenses. June 5
the police commission granted Schmess
a license to conduct a Wholesale liquor
store at 5722 Central avenue. On the
following Tuesday evening a large dele
cation of property owners and resi-
dents of the locality appeared before
the police commission and protested
so hard that the commission revoked
the license. The license, although
granted by the board, had not been
delivered to Schmess.
The applicant brought suit for man
damus to compel the city clerk to issue
the license and lost the suit. The
writ of review is to bring 1T before
the court again. although what new
evidence will be offered is not known.
