bROKAW IS
ARRESTED

Joseph Plastino has caused the
arrest of G. L. Brokaw on a charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses in that he holds notes of
Plastino's and 26 others amounting
in all to $4,000. Paastino says Bro
kaw agreed to locate himself and
his rs colleagues on government
land and that he would find a pur-
chaser for the land who would pay
$1,000 a claim for It. Brokaw has
since that time failed to get the
buyer. This whole matter is now
in the courts, having been before
the federal government at one time.
The whole deal is so badly jumbled
up that there seems to be no head
or tail to 1t. Justice Stocker has
set the date for hearing for April 3.

STRIKE NOW CERTAIN
HOGAN GOES
TO JOIN PAL

The sentencing of Thomas Hogan
this morning to seven years in the
penitentiary completed the good
work which has been done on the
Davis store robberies by the pro-
secutor's office. These robberies
long mystified the police. Hogan
had a partner named William Naive
and the last time they robbed Day.
is place they were caught selling
some of the knives taken therefrom
and were Jailed.
At the time Naive was sentenced
to serve seven years, he plead
guilty and exonerated Hogan. Some
time ago Deputy Prosecutor Pugh
received information that while
both men were in the county Jail
here they were heard to admit that
they had done several robberies.
Hogan was then at large. Pugh
then got a confession from Naive
which implicated Hogan and the
latter was once more arrested. He
plead guilty. and Judge Poindexter
gave him the same sentence of
seven years which had been melted
out to his pal, Naive.

STOCKTON, Cal, March q. -
The authorities are busy running

which Mrs. LeDoux killed her for

Wears life insurance.
The authorities are not certain as
to the manner Of McVicars' death.
1t was first stated he was sand
bagged to death. Then a poison
theory was advanced, carbolic acid
and laudanum being suggested as
the instrument Of death. But the
cause of death is not definitely set
tied.
Some still hold to the theory that
there was man in the case, but
others maintain the woman did the
deed alone.

Through the efforts of The Press
an ordinance will be presented to
the city council in the near future
to pension all police officers who
have been in the police service for
20 consecutive years. The salary
paid to the retired policemen,
should the ordinance be passed, will
be one-half of their regular pay.
The city charter provides for half
pay for retired police officers, but
1t has been deemed necessary to
have an ordinance passed by the
council to make this provision OPP
erative. This ordinance, this paper
believes, should be introduced and

SHOE FACTORY PLANS

A corporation win be formed
within the next few days with q
capital stock of $4,000. but the
names of the incorporators will not
be given out at the present time.
1t Is a certainty, however, that a
majority of the capital will be local.
The addition Of $50 to 800 well paid
shoe workers will be a substantial
addition to the monthly pay roll Of
this city.
One of the gentlemen interested
in the enterprise in speaking of the
matter this morning said: Eve be-
lieve that Spokane offers an ideal
location for first class shoe fac
tory. The immense mining and ag-
ricultural territories tributary to
this city, offer a field for the class
OF goods which we propose to make
that is unsurpassed. We would ex-
pect, besides supplying the local
demand, to reach for the Occur
d'Alene country trade first, after
which We would turn out attention

OFFICIALS USE PASSES

law does not apply to the police or
fire departments, but only to public
officials. The franchises given the
street car companies makes provi-
sions for giving free transportation
to the police and firemen. 1t is
claimed that the street car COM
panies use this small matter of the
granting of pass as a wedge to
open up larger negotiations. How
ever, there is no proof for this. 1t
is a very petty action. Some Of
the officials have refused these
passes, but there are others who
use them and the practice should
be stopped.
The constitution in this respect
reads:
Article II, Sec. 39.-It shall not
be lawful for any person holding
public Office in this state to accept
or use a pass or to purchase trans
portation from any railroad or 9TH
err corporation other than as the
same may be purchased by the gen.
eral public and the legislature shall
pass laws to enforce this provision.
