LAW ENFORCEMENT MASS
MEETING DEVELOPS LIVELY
DISCUSSION OF ISSUE NOW
UPPERMOST IN SPOKANE.

A declaration that the mayor has
no right to exercise a choice in not
enforcing the Sunday closing law,
censure of Chief Rice for not
promptly aiding the efforts of the
closing advocates in serving war
rants sworn out against saloon
men and numerous expressions of
support for the closing movement,
are the fruits of the mass meeting
called by the ministerial association
at the Spokane theater yesterday
afternoon. A resolution embodying
the sentiment of the meeting was
introduced by r. l.. Collins and
adopted without dissent. DR..
House also introduced resolution
calling another mass meeting for
next Sunday to take further action
on Sunday closing.
The meeting yesterday was
unanimous in favor of Sunday clos
ing, the only opposition being fur
nished by Fred Schade, who bobbed
up to defend Chief Rice, on the
: lNea that Rice is entitled to consid-
Grafton for his efforts in raising the
amount necessary to complete the
Y. M. C. A. building while secre-
tary of the 10000 club.

their troubles before him. Anders
son said:
1--WE hold you to your promise,
mayor, which you made to us on q
former occasion when we asked
you to enforce the Sunday closing
ordinance At that time you said
that you did not wish to be
brought into the matter, but stated
that If outsiders would make for.
NAL complaint to the city attorney
you would see that the closing or.
dinance was enforced" ,
THAT is true" replied the mayor;
what is your pleasure?"
Mr.. Anderson then lodged com.
plant against the chief of police,
asserting that he refused to serve
the warrants.
1--WE demand" said Anderson.
that these warrants be served
forthwith"
Mayor Moore promised them that
he would talk with Chief Rice about
the matter, but stated that the chief
would probably make the arrest at
his convenience in the usual course
of police business.

BURGLAR BEATS
POLICEMAN
SHOTS AND SHOUTS FAIL TO
STOP MAN WHO PLUNDERED
DRUGSTORE OF SACkFUlL
OF SANTA CLAUSE GOODS.

About midnight people living in
the vicinity of Sprague and Post
were reused by the sound of two
revolver shots. The cause of the
disturbance was burly Patrolman
Phelan In hot pursuit of burglar
who had broken into rear door CT
the Demert drugstore and was
breaking speed records despite a
handicap suffered on account of his
being weighted with gunnysack
full of stolen goods.
Phelan pursued him for block
before deciding that he would be
distanced. Then he opened an ill.,
effectual fire upon the fast disap-
pearing form of the thief.
Phelan was making the rounds
in the vicinity of the drugstore
when w. H. Blanchard notified him
that two men, one carrying a sack,
had come out of the rear door Of
the drugstore and sneaked away
into the shadows Of other buildings.
While the conversation was going
on one of the suspects was espied
coming out of doorway where he
had evidently crouched while the
officer passed by. Phelan shouted
to him to halt, but instead OF halt
ing the suspect took to his heels.
Investigation at the drugstore
showed that SIS worth of fancy
holiday goods, 81 in stamps and S.
in cash was missing. AS each pa
trolman went on shift this morning
he was furnished with as good a
description of the wanted men as
Blanchard was able to give.

whom is to enter the lists for the
sheriff's job next county election.
1t is strongly suspected that Barn
harris announcement (minus the
picture for once) with regard to
his former aspirations for Judge
ship, is in the light of a trade with
the Pughs. 1t has generally been
supposed that the strongest can
didate for congressman from this
district will be j. d. Rockwell. 1t
may be that Mr.. Barnhart has no
other backing than his own aspira-
tons and personal estimate of HIM
self. If such is the case he may
as we'll be numbered now among
the dead ones. His record as county
prosecutor has been generally crit
icised and his recent effort at en-
forcement of the law has looked
much like the man who tries to
carry water on both shoulders. Else
why was it delayed until what
might be considered the suspicious
moment for candidate for con.
gress to project himself violently
into public notice, All the symp-
toms indicate that he is something
of a hurry, too, since law enforce
ment sentiment has become rife
among proviate citizens-who all
have votes.
Curiously enough, sudden pub
licity of Mr.. Barnhart blossoms
simultaneously with the news that
the state grange will fight the NOM
ination of J. ID. Rockwell for con-
gress. This comes direct from
Grand Master c. B. Kegley. He
does not go into details at this
time, but clearly intimates that in
his opinion Mr.. Rockwell is not the
proper man to represent the peo-
pie of this district in congress.
II Is expected that when the
proper time comes the grange will
be heard from and specific reasons
for opposing his candidacy an.
nounced.
1t Is generally recognized that
Rockwell Is one of the most able
men who have announced their
candidacy from this district to sue
coed Congressman Jones He is an
able speaker and campalgner. and
Is expected to show great strength
in the primaries.
But Rockwell Is classed as Part
Of the old republican state machine
that has been exceedingly amiable
to the corporation forces that ruled
the state, which may explain the
farmers aversion as expressed by
Mr. Kegley. If the line Is to be
drawn on that score, Mr.. Barnhart
also has something to answer for.
He is purely party machine work
er, and II there is any divorce de.
cree between corporation influences
and the machine of either party In

MINISTER CONDEMNS THE
CRIME LICENSE SYSTEM

DR.. Van Osdel, at the First
Baptist church last evening, took
for his topic a subject that the pull
pit is somehow overlooking in its
reformation fight and which is a
greater evil than all the rest OF
civic Affections rolled together. He
discussed parasitism as THE
Crime of 1907" His attack on this
evil was vigorous and broad, in
GLIDING under five separate heads
the divisions of the crime that in
clude all it's various ramifications.
In the first division Dr.. Var Os-
del classed men who employ others
only for mercenary gain regardless
of their intellectual and moral well
fare. In the second those who use

fore guilty Of a breach of trust. In
the third he listed the crime Of hu.
man sacrifice by great corporations,
railroad and mining, for the sake OF
increasing wealth through the
jeopardy and sacrifice OF the lives
of workmen and the people who
patronize them. Under the fourth,
more distinctly specializing the
crime of parasitism, he designated
the crime of living on the earnings
of immoral conduct, and drew no
distinction between individuals
and cities that accept portion Of
these earnings in the form of IL
cense or fines. The minister at
tackled the whole process of levy
ing license or immortality prevail
ing in the brothel and saloon and
placed the city government in the
same category as the unnameable
human being who collects such
tribute for his own use from fallen
women.
The fifth, lawlessness, was
named as the great crime embrac-
ing all others-offic ial corporation
and individual. mis- he held to be
destructive to government of man

crime of sacrificing little children
in the mill and workshop. Blame

DEMAND SUNDAY CLOSING

toms Of a desire to throw Schade
out became noticeable, but the
speaker asked Tor order and then
explained that he had no intention
of attacking Rice except in his Of
fetal capacity. DR.. c. o. Kimball,
who followed, defended the speak
ers against the charge of personal
feeling, and entered vigorous re-
pudiation of the idea that any COM
promising with wrongdoing should
be entertained because of money
donated to Christian institutions.
He aligned himself in the opposi-
ton to receiving "tained money"
Rev. M. e. Dunn, of the First
United Presbyterian church, pre-
sided. Among the other speakers
in favor of Sunday law enforcement
were r. F. Hanke, of the Trustee
Co, Fl. c. Blair and Mrs. Frank At
kinson, oh the Women's Christian
Temperance union.
The audience was enthusiastic
and the several speakers were Wig
orously applauded. Chief Rice sat
in the back of the theater and heard
himself called upon to resign, but
displayed no intention of doing so
or of replying to the attacks on his
official course. Mayor Moore also
came In for rub now and then for
his negative attitude in regard to
Sunday law enforcement.
Neither official cared to discuss
the matter today and gave no indi-
cation of change of policy as a re-
suit Of the meeting.

KAISER'S OWN SISTER
IN BIG LIBEL SUIT

BERLIN, Dec. 23-Interest in the
Harden libel suit was worked to a
high pitch today when the name Of
the kaiser's sister, Princess Char
lotte Of SaXeMoiningen, was
dragged into the case. The prose
cution alleged that Harden made
his statements against Won Moltke
upon statements made to Harden
by Counselor Klenholtz, who is the
princess personal counsel.
The defense then requested the
princess be called. The demand
caused a stir in court If the prin-
cess is called she will be examined

LAW ENFORCEMENT PRO-
TESTS TO MAYOR BECAUSE
LAST BATCH OF WARRANTS
HAS NOT BEEN SERVED.

The Law Enforcement league,
which is represented by Messrs.
Pence, Anderson, Atkinson and
Sanders, Is hostile over the fact
that the warrants issued for vio-
lators of the closing law last Sun
day have not yet been served.
When the warrants were turned
over to Police Chief Rice last
Thursday he informed the leaguers
that they could no longer expect
him to take his men off other duties
in these times to run down more
than 200 saloon men, and that the
serving of the warrants must wait
until the police could capture the
culprits in the usual course of bust
ness.
Not one of the warrants were
served last week. When none was
served last night the league mem
bers were up in arms over what
they considered a deliberate af-
front to their cause at the hands
of the chief This morning Pence,

SLOT MACHINES SHUT TIGHT.

previously served notice that they
were to be closed Dec. q. The ac-
ton Jared the slot machine men,
but they promptly closed and
draped the machines in black.
The accepted theory accounting
for change in the original order is
that the prosecuting attorney sus.

left in law enforcement, now that
the issue has become thoroughly
alive.
The psychological moment, po-
litically speaking, Is too near at
hand for an aspiring county can
didate to take any risks of a city
administration forging to the front
in a reform movement.
Whatever the reason, the ma
chimes are idle. Constable Wood
went around and served their
death warrants this morning. No
disposition to fight the order has
been manifested.
All of which is PROOF that prose
