SPOKANE GETS SHOOT
Continued from Page One)

In addition to the large number OF
amateurs there will also be entered
number of professionals. The last
named will be permitted to shoot Tor
targets only from handicap DIS
tances as allotted by the committee
headed by Elmer E. Shaner of Pitts
burg. Two trophies, with $500 added
by the interstate association and the
Spokane Rod and Gun club Will be
awarded as prizes. The trophy in the
preliminary handicap is sterling sill
yer vase, the award in the Pacific
coast handicap being a sterling silver
loving cup.
The official program just issued by
Mr.. Shaner, secretary and manager OF
the interstate association. says that
the great northwest has claims that
cannot be ignored and, accordingly he
moves that Pacific coast handlcaps be
transferred to Spokane. The first two
tournaments took place in California.
Conditions Of Handicap.
Conditions governing the Pacific
coast handicap call for 100 targets at
16 to % yards; high guns, not class
shooting. There will be 5000 added to
the purse, the number of moneys to be
determined by the entries received. The
entrance moIey is SO. In addition to
the first money the winner will receive
a trophy. Regular entries must be
made on the grounds before o'clock
on the afternoon of September II. In
terstate association trapshooting rules
will govern all points.
The division of money in the pre-
liminary handicap provides two places
for each 10 entries or fraction of that
number up to $50 Not more than two
manufactures representatives will be
permitted to shoot in any one squad,
provided the number of entries per-
mits of this arrangement.
May Shoot for Targets Only"
The handicap will be at 100 targets,
unknown angles, open to amateurs
only, but agents and representatives
may also shoot for targets only. The
handicaps will be from Is to % feet,
high guns. One hundred dollars is adj
ded to the purse and the winner will
receive a trophy presented by the in
terstate association.
Mr.. Shaner says in the foreword OF
the program that the Spokane Rod and
Gun. club of which A. F. Wieseman
is secretary, is one of the best organ
izatiOns of the kind in the country. It's
members have gained a reputation OF
being one of the most cOLgenial lot OF
sportsmen that ever formed shooting
organization, and, as the interest in
trapshooting throughout the north
west was never greater than this sea-
son, it is confidently expected this will
be one of the best tournaments ever
given west of the Rockies.

 Washington, April 29.-The supreme Court of the United States today oe- cided that in effect that the railroad commissioners In the State or North Carolina can compel a railroad com pany operating in that State to So ad- inst its schedule as to accommodate messengers on other lines from any particular part of the State.
 The opinion was delivered by Justice White in the case of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company vs. the cor poration Commission of North Carolina: The case arose out of an order issued by the commissioners directing the railroad company to make connection at Selma at 2:25 D. m., with train on another line running from the eastern part of the State, with the object or accommodating passengers whose des- tination was Raleigh.
 The railroad company resisted the order on the ground that It could hot be complied with without putting on A speical train, which would involve extra expense. This, it was contended, amounted to taking property without due process of law.
 The commission justified it's course on the ground that compliance With the order was necessary to accommodate the large majority of the public
 The Supreme Court of North Caro- lima held against the railroad company and its decision was affirmed by today 8 action of the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States on the ground that the or der of the commission does not affect rates but 1t a proper act of State reg ulation.

 In connection with the street car outrages. Organiser 8. K. Fleming yes terday gave out the foll- wing state- ment:
 I desire to go on record again, as have often done before, that the man. agement of the street car strike does not in any way, shape or form condone the outrages being perpetrated by some outlaw in putting dynamite upon the tracks of the Traction Company. and Is unalterably opposed to any act of violence in order to win this strike.
 T desire to state further that any sympathiser who commits such acts. though he might intend to befriend us, Is an enemy to our cause and to organ ized labor.
 While gave up active management of the strike on April 13 to Local Pres- ident A. V. Custin, Financial Secretary R. B White and Board Member G.. w. Huckaby, and have assisted them since that time only in an advisory manner, I do not entertain for a moment the idea that the strikers are committing these outrages, after having taken the solemn VOWS they did upon inau -urating the strike to commit no violence and to prevent any one else fioni doing so, If in their power to do so."
