Reduce Peddlers' Tax.

The tax of $500 on peddlers, provided
for in the ordinance which the Mayor
vetoed because of his opinion that tho
taxes on saloons and pool-rooms were
inadequate, and the peddler's tax pro-
hibtive, was reduced to n tax OF 500;
any person acting as peddlers as defin-
ed by the State law being required to
pay that amount of license tax for each
vehicle used in such pcddling. This
does not apply to people who pay II
censc tax under the section fixing the
rates on hucksters.
The amended ordinance passed this
afternoon represents success to the an
ti-liquor people to the extent of the
$125 increase of the tax on retail deal
ers including hotels where drinks are
sold During the many discussions of
the question the anti-liquor party FREE
quently ntimated that next year they
would attempt to secure another In
crease The new ordinance now goes
to the Board of Aldermen for concur
renee. and then to the Mayor, whose
approval of the measure is by no means
assured, as his reasons for vetoing the
first measure were especially emphatic
on the subject of pool-room restric-
lions.

SPOKANE.-A sensation has been
sprung here by the statement of Cap
tain w. S. Swain, assistant manager of
the Thiel Detective agency, in which
he states the escape of Haywood from
the gallows is the result of the work
of James MCFARLAND of the Pinkerton
Detective agency, who jumped into
print prematurely with the Orchard
confession. He states that If McPar-
land had kept quiet with the Orchard
confession practically every detail Of
the confession could have ben cor
roborated with evidence, but as the
details of the confession were sent
broadcast over the country the defense
has had ample opportunity to break
down the prosecution and the confess
sion of orchard.

Cuffy faded him by searching long
and IabOriOusly through his clothing
for another coin, which he at length
found and placed beside the one ON the
roof. Then the shooter picked up the
dice and juggIed them III the hollow Of
his hands, blowing upon bis fingers fer
luck. When they ratified back TO tie

one fearfully, the other exultantly and
jeering.

Shack looked at him curiousIy,
standing on the defensive. Indeed,
there was usually good reason for
