w. II. Cowles, owner Of the
Powell block on Riverside av. just
next to the site of the new federal
building, has broken faith with the
government. When the property
was sold to the government it was
accepted on condition that 70 feet
be torn off the east side of the
Powell block and that work begin
the day the contract was made for
the erection of the federal building
This contract was made 2 months
ago, but as yet no work of tearing
down the Powell block has started.
According to the plans of the fed
eral building, it will be absolutely
necessary to tear down portion OF
the Powell block to make room. Ii
work on this does not soon start,
erection of the government building
will be hindered. There is no bond
up for the tearing down of the
Powell building and the owner of
it can harass the government at
will and take their time in carrying
out their agreement. 1t is merely
a breach OF business agreement.
The board of public works this
this afternoon approved the federal
building plans and authorized the
contractor, w. II. Maxwell, to begin
construction of the 100000 build

Postmaster Harrison assured the

BECAUSE BOY LIED

Justice Hinkle yesterday after
noon fined T. F. McGregor, a 16
year old boy, $40 and costs for be-
ing drunk. The boy will serve out
the fine in the juvenile Jail. He
was arrested Wednesday night in
the Main block by Patrolman Pear
son.
No action will be taken to bring
to justice those who sold liquor to
the boy on account of the varied
stories the youth has told. Justice
Hinkle made this announcement
this morning. At first the boy
stated that for several weeks he
and his father, railroad man in
Missoula, had been estranged. He
said they met in Spokane by ap-
pointment and went from saloon to
saloon, where the father bought the
liquor and passed it to his son.
After telling that story the boy
confessed to Captain James Coverly
that he had lied. He said he forged
his fathers name to an order for
bottle of whiskey and was given it
at Durkin's saloon. This story, the
boy said was the true one. For
explanation of his presence in the
notorious Main block, the boy said
he had an appointment there wiz.

/ FRANCHISE
(Scripps News Association.)

SAN FRANCISCO, May "a
There is practically no change in
the street car strike situation today.
The city is waiting the supervisors
action in the movement to forfeit
the United railways franchise.
Consideration Of the resolution to
revoke the franchise of the United
railways for failure to operate cars,
.precipitated a fist fight before the
board Of supervisors last evening.
Patrick Calhoun, president Of the
united railways, attacked e. P.
Troy and nearly knocked him out.
Troy is a municipal ownership advo-
cate and in an address to the board
;called Calhoun a liar. The latter
landed on Troy. Chairman Boxton,
of the board, who is accused OF &C
cepting brides from the United
railways, then started for Troy,
but was prevented from doing any
damage by other members of the
board. Troy tainted Boxton with
having taken Calhoun's money.
+ Several members of the labor
council spoke urging the revocation
of the company's charter. Calhoun
argued against the action, denounc-
ing it as a plan to help the strikers.

STANDARD OIL
BATTLE BEGINS
(Scripps News Association.)

ST. PAUL, May 24.-The first
government suit against Standard
Oil began today. The question at
issue is whether the government
can investigate wrongdoing of the
octopus earlier than 1899.
Judge Johnson, of Philadelphia,
and Judge Milburn, of New York,
attorneys for the Standard, de-
clare the Standard prosecution is
only display of spectacular
prejudice and has no merit in law
because the present Standard Oil
Co. was organized in 1899. The
alleged wrongdoings were not made
Iillegal till 1900, it is argued.
The government Is represented
by Milton e. Purdy, of Washington;
f. B. Kellogg and c. B. Morrison, of
81 Paul. They will oppose any
change in the governments bill
filed in 1906 at st. Louis, insisting
that history of the Standards OPP
Grafton since 1910 Is necessary to
establish a conspiracy to restrict
trade, which the company sought
to hide under the New Jersey law.
