SAILORS WIN
RECOGNITION

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3.-In
the settlement of the sailors strike
the union wins recognition, but no
increase of wages. The non-union
crew of the steamer Topeka was
discharged this morning and union
memn employed. Similar action
will be taken on other vessels as
soon as full union crews can be
employed. Ship owners consider
the settlement a victory for their
side inasmuch as they can employ
experienced men at the same
wages paid inexperienced men.
A gang of non-union stevedores
was shipped back to Seattle on the
Spokane this morning by the Pa
cific Coast Steamship Co.

confined themselves largely to in
dividual repair work on weak spots

The Spokesman-Review was re-

year, but the early certainty that
such support meant more harm
prompted the republicans to i'm

THESE DEMOCRATS WON'T
DIG CAMPAIGN COIN

The Spokane democratic cam
paign managers are bordering on
several campaign uncertainties
They wonder what's the matter
with Huber Rasher, James NJ. Ger
agility and j. p. Hogan-all wealthy
democrats who have not donated
one cent to the campaign fund. The
managers say these men never
were so clean before" The fact is
these delinquints have the money
but they're also sore on DR.. P. S.
Byrne. Huber Rasher's particular
reason for not kicking in with his
customary 500 check is that when
he made the race for the mayoralty
some three years ago, DR.. Byrne
split his vote by running independ-
ent. j. M. Geraghty, who gets
$4,000 a year out of his job of cor
poration counsel, won't come
through because he's sore at every
thing in general. He wanted some
thing he couldn't get, It's said, and
this something was director gener-
al of the campaign. Therefore he
won't kick in" If he should, it

Spokane, is usually good for $3.50

have waited long and impatiently
and perplexedly; but there's moth
ing doing and they don't know
why.
About $1,000 was donated by city
hall employees, everybody assisting
except Major Gwydir, license in
spector, and AL Tillish Of the street
department. These two have no
particular reason for not donating
and consequently, 1t is said. there
are to be stumbling blocks for
them in future.
Only three republicans are en-
ployed in the city ADMINISTRATION
James T. ONO, com missioner, JUS
tice j. d. Hinkle and A. s. Mann,
his clerk. OF course they donated
to the republican fund.
Early in the campaign the mana
gers sent out cards to prominent
democrats asking for money. These
cards were divided into squares in
which were marked various sums.
Democrats were asked to sign for
certain amounts, some cards rang
ing from S. to $50 and others from
$50 to $500.

TAFT IN HEAT OF
IDAHO FIGHT

BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 3.-Secretary
Taft is making a tour of southern
Idaho today. His special train left
Pocatello at o'clock this morning.
Taft spoke from the train at Sho-
shone, Glenns Ferry, Mountain
Home and Nampa. At each place
large crowds were present.
His speeches were mainly on ma
tional issues and the necessity Of
supporting the hands of the ad-
ministration in it's war upon trust
combinations, railroad rebates and
unjust determinations by preserv-
ing the party in power in congress.
In his opening address at Poca-
tello last night, and in today's adj
dresses, Taft devoted most of his
time to the "law and order" ques-
ton in Idaho. He urged the cleo

ton of Gooding as an endorsement
of Gooding's part in the prosecu-
ton for the murder of Steunenberg.
He argued that the men suspected
of that crime would have a fair
trial and be released if proved in
nocent, but held that their arrest
should not be used as campaign
club against Gooding. Taft said
nothing about the polygamy ques-
ton, combining himself largely to
combating animosity to Gooding on
account of the Meyer and Haywood
cases. He said he had been sent
to Idaho by Roosevelt in the inter-
est of a law and order campaign.
According to Taft, the president
blames both sides for the miners
troubles in Colorado.

SUPREME COURT
FOR SPOKANE

The Spokane Bar association last
night formally started the cam
paign to secure state supreme
court sessions in this city. w. F..
Richardson, Judge Poindexter, Will
G. Graves and i NJ. Dudley were
appointed a committee to present
the proposition to the coming legis-
lature. The enactment of a statute
will be necessary to bring the
court over here for the two or three
annual sessions desired, as the
constitution requires that a full
bench be represented in a supreme
court sitting An effort will be
made to secure the adoption of an
amendment permitting the institu-
ton of an appellate department in
this city for East Side business.
The present plan contemplates ses-
sions of the full bench here until
other provision is made.
The bar association will en-
deavor to enlist the support OF all
the commercial bodies on this
side of the mountains. A commit
tee was named to take the matter
up with the Spokane chamber of
commerce and it is expected that
reports from the various bodies
within reach will be available for
consideration when the bar asso-
citation meets again Thursday
evening.
The reason for this move is the
heavy expense attorneys from this
side are pu to in going to Olympia
to argue cases.
