lice as n protection to our places

to know where he is 1t ought to
be easy for Sidney Kahn, the tout,

SAY LAUNDRY
IS TOO DIRTY

Complaint has been made to the
health department Of filthy condi-
lions alleged to exist at the Ideal
Steam laundry on Front avenue.
An inspector will be detailed to look
into the report. 1t Is said that dirt
covers the floor and the health Of
the women is endangered by these
conditions. 1t is also asserted that
when the soap is boiled it emits
nauseating smell which makes the
women employees deathly sick. The
boiling is done In the Mushroom,
where there are many employees.
Some of the employees claim that
on account of these unsanitary con-
ditions and also because they are
compelled to work more than the
lawful 10 hours a day, and with no
additional pay aside from the $3.50
daily wage, the women contemplate
striking.

A "REPUb' BUT
CAN'T VOTE

The troubles of Frank Stelletto,
Italian, are being discussed today
by politicians. Frank has lived 16
years in Spokane and has an Amer
lean wife, but he cannot write
English and speaks it but little.
Clerk Flemming yesterday refused
to allow Frank to register, despite
his frantic assertions about his be-
ing a "repub." Frank claims that
he voted for "Mckin," which puts
him in the position of an ex-voter.
Frank was naturalized by Judge
Richardson October 10, 1902, The
new registration laws says that to
vote this year one must have been
naturalized prior to June /, 1901.
Franks inability to write his own
name was what first caused the
city Clerk to turn him down.

Hi HIM ON
THE HEAD

Before Justice Hinkle this after
noon Harry Younglove, motor
man on one of the new Greenwood
cemetery street cars Of the Wash
ington Water Power company, was
charged with assault and battery by
Fred West, conductor of the car.
Younglove was released on a $50
bond and the hearing set for Oc-
tober II. The trouble occurred at
1890 o'clock last night on the cor
ner of Riverside avenue and Wall
street. 1t Is claimed by West that
he gave the motorman the bell to
stop before passing the Traction
company tracks. This made Young
love mad because it was the "Owl"
run and he was anxious to get
home. He stopped the car" says
West, land with the controller
handle in his hand came to the
rear and swore at me. Then he
struck me over the head"
Bystanders say the assault was
brutal. West is much smaller than
Younglove. He was daZed from the
blow land shouted "Murder!" Peo-
Pile On the street at the time took
up Z orv Patrolman c. Rolf ar
resteu Younglove, who was allowed
to take his car home after deposit
ing $50 bond.

11,624 who are working on the

day. 1t is said that the delegates
to the Central Labor union will
stand by the action of the executive
committee of the body and will ask
the union to withdraw it's dele

1t is also likely that charges will
be preferred against the union, and

MEAT MUST
Be INSPECTED

The bureau of animal industry of
the United States has issued cir
cular of directions under the new
law requiring inspection of meat.
Whether shipped by packer, retail
er or farmer, all meat must be &C
companied by certification that
inspection has been made. Trans
portation companies as well as ship
pers are held under the new law,
the latter being prohibited from &C
cepting meat known to be not Of
ficially passed upon.
Although the law became effec-
tive October l, previous notice had
not been given and it is expected
that more or less trouble for meat
dealers will result. Transportation
companies have received the gov
eminent notices and are expected
to inform shippers of the provisions
set forth.

LITTLE CHILD
SHALL ROB
Them

The pol Q are still looking for
two masked boy highwaymen who
at o'clock last night held up the
Keystone bar, 0l002 Howard street,
and robbed the cash register of 80.
Anton Green, the proprietor, and
four men were playing cards when
the young bandits made their APP
pearance. Both robbers wore red
handkerchiefs over their faces. The
first to enter commanded that all
hold up their hands, and all hands
went up. While that boy kept a
bead on the men before him his
partner rifed the register.
They departed by the back door.
The proprietor then telephoned the
police and Sergeant McPhee, De-
tectives Weir and Macdonald re-
sponded. There are no clews and
the police today are baffled.

HE May BE
BURGLAR

Strangers claiming to be looking
for work have been applying at
hot IS in residence sections Of the
city lately. The police say look
out for these fellows. They are
pretty likely to be burglars or
burglar assistants looking up likely
territory for night visits.
In most cases only women are
at home when the man looking for
work" appears. He tells a hard
luck story about not being able to
find employment downtown and
figures that the place to look for
a job is up in the residence part.
During the outpouring of his
troubles he manages to size up the
place, whether or not dog Is
handy, and often gets a good idea
of the interior of the house. II
the prospect appeals to him as
promising anything in the line Of
plumber the person who listened to
him is apt to miss something the
next morning, or else awake to find
burglar in the house and busy at
his trade.
There are plenty of opportunities
downtown for a man out of job,
if he cares to look for one. The
story told at residences Is very
thin, but it usually arouses the SYM
pathy and disarms suspicious OF
the average woman who hears It.
