HOW SPOKANE
IS AFFECTED

According to the provisions of
the franchise given the Washing
ton Water Power company by the
city the company agrees to face
all suits for damages and has on
file a bond for $4,000 with the city
clerk to indemnify 1t in case any
claim for damages may arise on
account Of accident on the Howard
street bridge. Also by the terms
Of the franchise the company must
bear it's share of maintaining this
bridge and must keep in repair the
space between the outer rails of
Its tracks and for two feet on the
outside thereof during the life of
the franchise, which Is rs years !;
all the work to be done under the
supervision of the board of public
works.
And that's about all.

CENTRAL LABOR UNION Or
DERS COMMITTEE TO iNVES-
TIGATE NATURE OF AGREE
MENT AS TO KEEPING HOW.
ARD STREET BRIDGE IN RE-
PAIR.

The Central Labor Union last
night instructed the legislative
committee to ascertain whether or
not the Washington Water Power
company had forfeited its franchise
over the Howard street bridge, by
not having kept it's agreements
with the city to strengthen the
bridge SO it would be safe for cars
and other traffic.
Inquiries at the city hall and an
investigation of the franchises
would appear to show that the local
monopoly is safe and can retain
its grip on the new bridge when
ever the city can get one erected.
There is believed to be little
doubt but that the company could
be refused the use OF the bridge for
a long time to come, but there is
little apparent hope of anything of
this nature being done for every
city official with any real authority
is generally believed to be working
hand in glove with the big COM

NEW YORK, June 26.-When
Harry Kendall Thaw, New York
social favorite, was arraigned this
morning and accused of the murder
last night Of Stanford White, he
still wore his bedraggled evening
clothes.
1t develops that Thaw and White
were together in a restaurant Sum
day night in earnest conversation
until 2::30 Monday morning. The
past relations of White and Evelyn
Nesbitt is tile cause Of Thaw's
hatred.
He will likely enter plea of
emotional insanity.
Police Captain Hodgins hand
cuffed Thaw to him this morning
and took him to police headquar-
tiers, where he was measured and
photographed for the rogues' gal
lery. Lined up with petty thieves
aid pickpockets he was forced
through the routine which all pris-
Oners must pass.
Held Without Ball.
The proceedings before the coro-
ner were brief. On affidavit of
Patrolman Debs that Thaw said to
him 81 shot him." Thaw was held
without bail and sent to the Tombs.
He has engaged Dan O'Reilly, who
defended Nan Patterson.
After an all night search the
police today located Evelyn Nesb
Thaw, cause of the murder. She
was not mOlested, but detectives
will watch her until her part in the
tragedy Is explained.

INVESTIGATION OF HOWARD
STREET BRIDGE COLLAPSE
TO BE STARTED AS SOON AS
DAGGETT is ABLE TO LEAVE
HOME.

The entire city administration Is
so peculiarly situated that no one
connected dares say anything in
regard to the Howard street bridge
wreck, but Is known that Mayor
Daggett, as soon as he RECEIVERS
from an illness which has confined
him to his home today, will call for
an investigation for the purpose
of placing the blame for the col
lapse of the Howard street bridge
upon the party or parties respon-
sible.
A special meeting Of the council
will be called for that purpose.
Just who will be selected to
form this committee Is not known,
but It Is said there will be a repre-
sentative from the structural iron
workers union, the carpenters
union and city contractor, and
three members Of the city council
and the mayor himself.

IN The OVEN

A lady residing on the North
Side, who does not want her name
mentioned. having in the house
about $50 last Sunday and wishing
to leave home for the afternoon,
placed her pocketbook in the oven
Of the stove for safe keeping.
Not until next morning, after
breakfast was cooked, did she think
of the cash in the oven. Upon ex-
animation the purse was found to
have been reduced to ashes and
the money, which happened to be
gold and silver, lookeE as though
it had been through the San Fran
cisco fire. By dint of boiling and
securing the coins were restored
to their normal condition.

statement Of the present situation
regarding street improvement con-
tracts.
II believe that the public should
know how these matters stand. I
shall demand that the board let
the property holders know all
about each specific contract and
its progress. The main gist Of the
thing will be a report on the cen
tracts now in force, when they
were let, and at what tim0 the work
should be finished. Much work IL
in progress. Much has been COM
pleted. II there are contracts which
are running overtime, the public
should now know. II property
holders are paying now for work
which has not been completed
they should know it,"
Captain Gray said that he did not
know whether the resolution would
pass Or not.

If not they are the victims of an
unfortunate chain of circumstances
for past and present indications in
municipal affairs point to nothing
else.
The Central Labor Union evil
IDENTITY forgot to go on record last
night in regard to the action of the
city council in placing the expense
of the city engineering department
on the construction fund. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Gill accom-
panied by Engineer Mcintyre
waited upon the Central Labor
Union and tried to interest the
union men of the city in the fight
now on between Councilman Pratt
and Mr.. Gill.
AS local union men look at it.
it Is possible that the unexpected
collapse of the Howard street
bridge may have had the effect Of
reminding the union men of the
city of all the benefits which have
been handed the Washington Water
Power company by the present adj
ministration and have dampened
their ardor as far as producing the
hot chestnut from the glowing
Goals, but whatever the reason the

SUITS IN DAMAGE SUIT OF

A grave oversight on the part Of
city officials has resulted in Attor-

for damages In the amount Of $1,000
for injuries sustained by Walter
Haggman, age II. This boy was
struck on the leg by rocks thrown
from a blast on the contract which
Thomas Olson has Of tearing down

Olson, when he commenced this

from the blasting.

MAYOR Will TRY
TO PLACE BLAME

blame should be placed significant
ly point to the ordinance which
ordered the board Of public works
to allow the Washington Water
Power company to repair the
bridge.
At that time the city engineers
office refused absolutely to have
anything to DO with the matter
when the council turned down the
proposition to construct a new steel
bridge.
For several years past close
study of what has caused the col
lapse of bridges all over the coun-
try has shown that it has always
been reconstruction and the use
of the old timbering and steel.
Knowing this. the city council
ordained that the Washington
Water Power company should con.
struct the bridge.

Efforts are being made to Shout

mick, inspector Of bridges, but it
Is said that to all appearances the
bridge was safe and the fault lies

SHOT WITH The
SELTzER BOTTLE

A bartender in the employ OF
James Durkin at his Sprague street
emporium had narrow escape
this morning from serious injury
by the explosion of a seller bottle.
The glass cut through the mans
shirt sleeve making a hole In the
flesh as large as 10 cent piece.
All that saved his eyesight was a
quick duck when the explosion oc-
cured.
