IS IN SIGHT

A letter received from Frank
Morrison, secretary of the A. F. of
L., by Local Organizer E. A. Cooney
was laid before the central body.
In the communication Mr.. Morrison
stated that the International repre-
sentatives Of the Hold Carriers
union and the Cement Workers
union were In joint session in an
effort to settle the jurisdiction of
the two unions and that the entire
trouble would be arranged in a
satisfactory manner in few days.
The state federation sent the cen
trail body a communication outlin-
ing the work being done for the va
rious laws now before the legisla.
ture in which the working men Of
the state were interested, and ask
ing the local unions to aid in every
way possible in securing the enact.
ment of the various measures.
Mitchell Bros. were up again be-
fore the central body, several of the
local unions asking that they be
placed on the unfair list on that
ground that the firm had broken
its agreement recently made with
the unions.

He FACES
HIS FINISH

"The multiplicity Of the duties Of
the secretary Of the 10000 club"
unused Rem H. Rice this morning.
Mr.. Rice holds that position and his
success in such things as raising
the small sum of 100000 to COM
plete the Y. NJ. c. A, selling $4,000
worth of booster buttons in day
and numerous other small under
takings has drawn the attention OF
housewives to him.
Rem, since his appointment to his
job some years ago, has grown
quite bald in spots. not from the
arduous tasks, exactly, but from
hard study of knotty problems. He
never did throw up his hands and
quit on any suggestion, but he now
mutters about doing so at times
quit and stay quit. You see, Mr..
Rice has been asked to solve the
servant girl problem and Mr.. Rice
was at first game to tackle 1t. But
greater heads than even Rice's own
have become all out of whack
through this study. Even more
popular people than Mr.. Rice have
found themselves and their popu-
larity chilled by failure in a solu-
ton of the problem.
However, after further study,
Rice today announced that notwith-
standing the wrecks of numerous
failures before him, he will grid
him about with winsome ways,
smiles and data and tackle the
proposition, probably about Feb. 8,
when a hired girl mass meeting
is to be held at Masonic temple. To
solve the servant girl problem Rice
asks the assistance of women-all
women. He says he is practically
taking his future in his hands but
he willingly does 1t in such a great
cause. He believes there are more
living martyrs than dead ones, and
intends to offer himself up for sac
rifice.

INJUNCTION
DISSOLVED

Judge Poindexter this morning
dissolved the temporary restrain
ing order issued to Frank P. Hogan,
who claimed the Spokane Western
Traction Co. had laid streetcar rails
over his property a few miles down
the river from town. This is the
case where the new corporation let
the Washington Water Power Co.
lay a wonderful four mile railroad,
which 1t Is impossible to use, as evil
dence of the good faith of the cor
poration in securing the franchise
and to close this right of way to the
Graves interests, which are INSTALL
ing a powerful electric plant at
Nine Mile rapids.
Hogan asked for a permanent re-
straining order but he was unable
this morning to prove his title to
the property.
Judge Poindexter's decision prac-
tically means that the Spokane
Western Traction Co. holds the
right of way 1t has used, and this
will necessitate the Graves people
building their line over a right Of
way which will cost thousands or
dollars more by reason of difficult
engineering work necessary.

CARMAN THROWS LIGHT
ON ". ". P. METHODS

Cali the wrecks that have occur
red on the lines of the Washington
Water Power Co. during the past
year are due directly or indirectly
to inexperienced men," said an old
employee of the company today. ut
Is the policy of the local monopoly
to discharge their old employees TO,
trivial attractions of the rules and
in this way the company is enabled
to keep down expenses, as the older
man grows in the service the
more money he is supposed to earn.
The places of the old employees are
filled with cheaper inexperienced
men, many of whom are 'floaters'
here to look the country over.
9TH statement of the dead
motorman, Nickerson," said the old
employee, may have been exception
al, as 1t Is not unusual tor the
brakes on the cars of the company
to be out of order. If you don't be-
lieve this statement, ask some Of
the other men. The air pipes con-
trolling the brakes frequently freeze
up. Mine have to be thawed out
nearly every trip during the cold
snap, and you can see men with
blow pipes engaged in thawing pipes
all day at Riverside and Howard,
This might have been the cause Of
the accident on the Minnehaha line.
1.-THE action of the company in
burning up the wreck is evidence
that they were onto the fact that
the brakes were faulty and they
wanted to destroy all evidence that
would substantiate the claims of
the dead motorman. The statement
of the conductor is not entitled to
much consideration, as he was not
in a position to know what the con-
dition of the brakes really was.
I'VE often find our cars In bad
condition after we take them out
and IL we refuse to run the car we
are generally reprimanded and Oft
entimes laid off as a punishment.
| have no doubt but that Nickerson
found the rails slippery and at
tempted to use sand. The sand fur
nished is of such a poor quality
that 1t packs and will not run
freely and it is not unusual for the
pipes to be out of line with the rail
several inches so we cannot get the
sand on the track even II 1t does
run.
Another thing that detracts
from the service Is the fact that
the men become discouraged. II
you had to work 10 or more hours
every day. and Sunday included, and
could only earn from 81 to $3.50 per
day at that, you would not grow
enthusiastic over your job but
would soon come to realize that
common labor Is much better than
running a car for the local monop.
oily, as you call It." =

The difficulty of maintaining a
stock of goods with the present

house stated that his firm was en-

Thaw party were present at the
trial this morning The prisoner
was in an apparently happy frame
Of mind in contrast to his morose
attitude yesterday. The roll of 100
new talesmen was called and ex-

examined, but unsuccessfully.
During the examination of the
veniremen, Evelyn read a number
of letters. Thaw read one that
pleased him greatly and he
chuckled audibly number Of
times.
John S. Dennel, travelling freight
agent, was selected as the tenth
juror at 11:45.

FRANCHISE IS IN
THE DARK

The city council at its special
meeting last night called for the
purpose Of discussing the Graves
subway franchise, failed to consid-
er the matter at all. None of the
Graves interests were represented,
but others interested in having GER
tain amendments added were pres
ent. The Graves people, it is said,
did not have enough support in
sight, and therefore were not there.
On the start it is said all the coun-
cilmen looked with favor upon the
franchise, but since then after
studying it have voiced their dis
approval of the way it is worded.

lived in the same house with Evelyn
and her mother when the latter
came to this city. Mother and
daughter we're in hard straits and
Mrs. Game helped them. All efforts
to find Mrs. Game have failed so
far.
Before he returns to his cell to-
night Thaw may know the states
case against him. Jerome expects
to fill the jury box this afternoon
and to tell the Jury what he expects
to prove. DR.. Flint, principal
alienist retained by the state, kept
the prisoner under closest scrutiny
today and made notes Of his OBJ
servations. Juror Dennel said his
former home was in Louisiana. He
had reach much of the case be
cause there was little else to read
in the papers" but had formed no
opinion. Much comment was
caused when Jerome accepted Den
mel because the latter Is from
Louisiana where the "unwritten
law" is supposed to play as equal
a part in some cases as the statutes.
This afternoon the fourth and
sixth jurors, Arthur Campbell and
Harold r. Faire, were excused by
consent of attorneys for both sides.

PUBLISHED WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOR
FORCE CHILDREN
FROM FATHER

Instead of resigning himself to
hard circumstances and giving up
his children to the Home Finding
society, as reported yesterday, W..
e. Emery was compelled to give
them up. J. w. Williams, of the
Home society, and Deputy Sheriff
Butler, took them away in spite Of
the fathers protest.
The children were removed
through the Associated Charities.
Emery was called there to get some
clothes and when Williams appear
ed was told that the children would
have to be provided for at the
home. The father objected to this,
as he had them there once before
and removed them because the ply
stefan attending one who was i'll ad-
vised him he could do nothing for
the child unless it was given more
nourishing food.
He was willing yesterday, how
ever, to have the children put in
private homes, but this was re-
fused him. The society took three
children, but found the other too
sick to remove and another would
not leave its father.
Today many offers were received
from families willing to take care
of the little ones until Emery
could support them. but the society
refused to give them up, claiming
it would hold them until an order
was issued by court.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1907-01-29

Emery has secured a job with
the Union Iron works and expects
to be able to provide for the chill
dren If he can get them away from
the home finding society again.
He has six children. the oldest
being girl of Is and the youngest
a child of less than four. A girl
aged 10 Is sick at the little house
he lives in out at 124 North Helena.
Emery lost his wife a year ago,
and since then has been having a
fearful struggle with adversely.
With the children off his hands a
little while he hopes to be able to
catch up, but he objects to having
them taken against his will to the
home where he claims they were
not we'll treated when he was pay
ing for their keep before.
None of the children want to
stay there and the little girl called
up from the home today to say a
lady had been there to offer homes
to two of them and they wanted to
go. But the society refused to let
them.
This afternoon Emery Is going
out there again to see If he can
get one Of the little ones a neigh
Dor wants to keep. The home is at
S07 Chelan.
If refused he will have to wait
until the matter Is brought before

WRECK CASE
CLOSED

The motorman is dead; the car
burned; the injured are recovering.
There is nothing to investigate.
This sums up the attitude of the
county coroner on the Minnehaha
streetcar wreck Sunday night.
In this respect the case Is exact
ly similar to the collision on the
Great Northern some time ago. In
each case the blame was laid on
the dead, although both with their
last breath placed the responsibility
elsewhere. And it is commonly be-
lieved that dying men do not lie,
The engineer on the switch en-
CINE that struck the Minnehaha car
was quoted as saying that he was
not looking ahead when he reach
ed the crossing.
There seems to have been no in
quiry into that point either. AS
far as the coroner Is concerned the
case is apparently closed. Railway
men believe that something more
than superficial examination
should have been made in this
case.
1t Is asserted that the switch en-
CINE was carrying no headlight
nor red lanterns.
All nine victims of the wreck are
doing as well as could be expected
today. Mrs. j. e. Hegberg, of
Mead, and the Long sisters, Of Es-
merald av and First ST., are severe
ly injured and their recovery is
slow. DR.. N. M. Baker is attending
them.
