BIG AUDIENCE GREETS TAYLOR.
Ex-Governor Heard by 5000 People at
Auditorium.

Ex-Governor Heard by 5000 People a
Auditorium.
Although the audience which heart
ex Gov Robt. L. Taylor at the Rymal
auditorium on Friday night was not Al
large as that which greeted him fv'
months ago, it was magnificent assem-
blage There were not less than 8, 00l
people in the audience, only a small
per cent. of whom came from pointI
beyond the confines of this city. 1t wal
an enthusiastic crowd aud every thrus
of the speaker at his opponent, every
illustration, every spark of wit or hu
NOR we're enjoyed and cheered. AL
though it was evident that there were
a goodly number of Carmack support
ers in the the audience, an overwhelm
ing majority of those present wore the
Taylor emblem
The ex governor was in good voice
and appeared to a much better advant
age than he did in his opening speech
here, speaking without manuscript ol
notes. The speech was wholly charac
teristic of the man and abounded il
fun, song and anecdote. Nearly all the
points of the speech were illustrated
with story or an anecdote. On thret
occasions the ex-governor convulsed
his hearers and won great applause by
singing lullaby.
AFTER FRANK THOMPSON.
One of the sensational features of the
speech was the charge that he had beer
betrayed in the house of his friends by
Frank NJ. Thompson, Senators Frazier
and Carmack. He declared that he had
taken up Frank Thompson and elevat
ed him to a place of power only to be
betrayed by him. Senator Frazier
said Gov. Taylor, had been started Oh
the road to power and political prefer
ment by the speaker. Gov. Taylor de-
clared that he had removed the obsta
cles which stood in the way of making
Frazier the governor of the state, and
he also took a large share of credit fol
the election of Carmack to the senate
DIV xyaoro ono
Ex-Gov. Taylor began his speech by
beautiful tribute to spring time, anG
wound up by declaring that already ht
could hear the music of the hinges o
the senate doors as they swung wide tC
let him in. This statement was cheered
DIBRELL CHARGE.
In discussing the charge that he haC
" stabbed Gen. Dibrell in the vitals,
Gov. Taylor took occasion to pay {
well-worded tribute to the old Confed
crate soldiers. He declared that fol
fifteen years his sweat and money haC
gone into monuments for the Confeder
ate dead, while Senator Carmack haC
never given drop of sweat or dolla
for a monument to the Confederate
heroes.
Gov. Taylor made brief review o
his record as governor, laying specia
emphasis upon his approval of the p@
hibition amendment. and again charg
ed Senator Carmack with being the ex
champion Of the saloons. He ais
charged the senator with wobbling Of
the railroad rate question and will
having introduced an amendment in
imical to the rights of the "commol
people. "
AT the conclusion of the speech larg
number of the ex-governor's friend
went to the stage and warmly congrai
ulated him upon his effort.

HOT GAME AT PULLMAN

Washington and Idaho football
teams are scheduled to meet this
afternoon at Pullman to decide
who's at" In football, 1t Is the
ninth game between the rivals,
each having won four games prey
iously. Special trains are TO run
into Pullman, that from Moscow,
Idaho, carrying pretty much the
entire population. More intense
rivalry exists between these two
universities than any other two
organizations in the Northwest
The ground is very heavy on the
Pullman field, which gives the
Washington team the advantage,
as 1t averages 10 pounds heavier
than Idaho. The Idahoans made
overtures yesterday for post
ponement and were refused, but II
1t is raining today 1t is thought a
postponement will be had until Sa-
turday.

fQUEER' SUSPECT
CAUGHT IN
COURT

Soon after the trial Of Harry
Allison, the alleged boy holdup cap
tured by Patrolman Lawson, COM
menced this morning before Judge
Stocker, Lawson went among the
spectators and arrested George E.
Derr on suspicion of being the
boys pal. Derr seems a little off
in the head, and says he was un-
lawfully sent to the Medical Lake
insane asylum about a year ago
At the police station he gave his
age as 81 years and said he had
lived in Spokane since 1890. THE
following note, evidently intended
for newspaper, was found in one
of his pockets:
"Mr. Editor: Please forgive me
if | am intruding on your prem
ises, because my duty to God and
man cause me to come here. My
business is to try and cause the
tax payer and men who believe in
law and order to know OF sin
that is known by people who read
the papers in this city"
The names of George d. Nc
Quarrie and Laura Adams, of the
Jessie Shirley Co., with their tele-
phone numbers, were found on
slips of paper in Derr's possession

HAVOC OF LOVE AND THE PISTOL
is STARTLING even new YORK

NEW YORK, Nov. Am almost
incredible record Of crime as an
outgrowth of tangled love affairs
has just been written down by the
police of this city.
In the brief space of one week
three men murderously shot down
women with whom they were in
love. Two completed their cow
ardice by taking their own lives.
During these same seven days
there was veritable storm of
suicide and violence, all traceable
to the hot fury of disappointed
love.
Here follows, in brief form,
the remarkable record of seven
days:
For several years Louis r.
Brown, a handsome young fellow
and son of wellIto-do parents, had
been in love with Laura Osten, a
nurse. They dined at a fashion
able hotel and started out for a
cab ride on Broadway Suddenly
a pistol shot caused the driver to
stop. He investigated and found
that Brown had shot the girl in
the face.
After his arrest Brown said : 81
don't know why | shot her. l must
be crazy. l love her" She may
recover.
Louis G. Hampton, 60, married,
financier, shot and killed Victoria
Taczkaw. 80, corset model, because
she pressed him to carry out prom
Use to marry her, and committed
suicide.
Frank Dorsey shot Josephine
Schmidt. a fellow clerk, who re-
fused his love. He committed sui
eide. She will recover.
Daniel Sullivan ate ground
glass and then jumped into the
East river. His sweetheart had
renowned him.
After a quarrel with his wife
Frederick j. Sieber shot himself
dying instantly.

of the Twentieth Century Athletic
club, handled Scaler's business,
and Biddy Bishop, Longs. Scaler
will be managed, trained and sec

man ought to be a one to two shot
over the blonde haired scraprer.
Long will be trained by Joe Cor.
man. Both Long and German ate
now at Palouse, where Saturday
night Long meets Kid Harrison in
20 round bout. Long is in very
poor shape. as he holds Harrison
cheap. His training for Harrison
is but a workout to what he will
do preparatory TO meeting the To-
cal Italian. Last time they met
Long had just finished whipping
Herrera in three rounds, and
Scaler, who was brand new at the
game and as awkward as a pet
bear, stayed four rounds and show
ed decided gameness.
Freddie Weeks writes from
Cripple Creek, Colo, that on the
10Th he meets Jimmy Walsh, of
Boston, at 122 pounds. Freddie,
who has done some great boxing
around Colorado. says he is favor
lite over Walsh in the betting. If
he wins he will go to California,
where Abe Attell has promised him
a licking. Freddie made Abe's
brother, Monte, look like a two
spot, and Abe telegraphed please

HORSEMEN
CAN'T RUN
THE FAIR

Shareholders of the Interstate
Fair association met yesterday af-
ternoon at the Hotel Spokane and
agreed to pool their stock for the
purpose of preventing the racing
element gaining control and maxi
ing a private money-making racing
meet. The pool holds for a term
of 10 years and makes sale OF
stock impossible without consent
of other holders.
Aside from this decision the i'm
portant feature of the meeting was
the election of officers. Robert H.
Cosgrove will again be secretary
and manager: George T. Crane
succeeds Howell W. Peel as presi-
dent; Cartier Van DisseN takes o.
L. Rankin's place on the board of
trustees on account of Mr.. Ran
kin's removal to Seattle; j. L.
Smith succeeds H. G. Summel as
second vice president; D. L. Hunt
ington remains first vice president
and j. A. Schiller, treasurer. Fol-
lowing is the list of trustees:
Howell w. Peel, H. G. Stimmel. ].
A. Schiller, D. l.. Huntington,
George T. Crane, T. S. Griffith, F.
w. Branson, Robert lnsinger, ]. l..
Smith, D. T. Ham, E. F. Cartier
Van Dissel, J. Goldstein, R. ].
Hurd and Robert H. Cosgrove.
In regard to making the race
track a mhle instead of half mile
1t was shown that additional
ground would cost about 100000
and the track $4,000 more, which
amounts the association was in no
shape to assume at this time. The
DIES fvored for next yer were the
same as this, September % to Oc-
tober 6. The financial report
showed on hand s24,200 as against
$14,240 last year. There was ex-
pended on improvements this past
year $19,131, and only s4,259 last
year. This year the gross receipts
were s91,955 against $65,923 last
year.

Client Rome wore the skins Of bears on
the field Of battle to make them look
fierce. For the same reason they put
figures OF frightful beasts on their
shields and helmets. From this odd
custom spring modern crests and ar
mortal bearings. The idea OF soaring
the enemy by such devices has been
perpetuated up to quite recent times.
