PRATT'S PLAN

The city council next Tuesday
night will consider water rent prop
ositions. Councilman Pratt has pre-
pared a plan which it Is generally
believed will reduce the present
rate from 10 to 25 per cent without
falling below estimates for water
department expenses. Mr.. Pratt's
scheme Is to reduce the residence
gallonsmeter rate Of Is cents per
1000 gallons, now in effect, to 6
cents, and allow the use of auto
matte sprinklers two hours in the
forenoon and two hours in the aft
ernoon. He expects to effect this
by making heavy consumers down
town pay their proportion for water
used, something not true at the
present time. The income from
water rents this year are expected
to reach 100000.
Since the installation of the new
waterworks system and the big
reservoir, there will be plenty of
water. Last year, before the COM
pletion of the new system, the city
was forced to establish rules that
no lawn sprinkling was to be done
by automatic sprinklers. but those
who wished to sprinkle their lawns
must hold the hose nozzle in their
hands, a move which called forth a
storm OF indignation.

Demand RELEASE
OF CHILDREN

When the county commissioners
meet at the court house at 10

will probably be a delegation Of
neighbors and friends of w. E.
Emery present to contest the claim
]. w. Williams, Of the Home Find
ing institution has filed on Emery's
three children
Names and references of families
willing to provide the children
homes as desired by the father will
be submitted to the commissioners
with petition that Wlliams be di-
rected to release the children he
took against Emery's wishes.
AS an outgrowth of the trouble
a demand may be made for investi-
cation of the Williams institution,
which receives $50 from the
county.
w. J. Clifford today stated that he
has charge of small comfortable
house in the neighborhood of EN-
ery's work that he would give EN-
cry until May 1 free of rent to help
him out.
This solves the house question
for the unfortunate man until he
has had a chance to earn some
thing.

JEROME THROWS OUT

NEW YORK, Jan. Silt is ex-
pected that the Thaw jury will be

CLAIM PARK Plan IS
A COUNTRY CLUB GRAB

That there is large and greedy
colored gentleman in the woodpile
is alleged by opponents of the
chamber of commences plan for
governing the city parks by self
perpetuating board named from
among it's members. Because of
this the opponents claim they are
lined up solidly and this is how
they explain their opposition:
The park board plan proposed, it
is claimed, came originally from H.
l.. Blocker, secretary and political
agent of the Washington Water
Power Co., E. F. Cartier Van Dis
sci, of the Sawmill Phoenix, and
l.. MacLean, a real estate man. 1t
was first proposed at bridge whist
game at the Spokane club, an or
ganization Of the wealthiest men
of Spokane That was about the
first week in May, 1905. The min
utes Of the chamber of commerce
show that it was endorsed and
Blocker, Van Dissel and MacLean
appointed a committee to draw up
a proposition. The minutes of the
chamber of commerce further show
it adopted the plan May 80, 1906.
The 10000 club was not there
mentioned. In order to work the

WILL FIND HER
LOVER DEAD

Miss Grace McClain will arrive
in this city from Sunnyside tonight
to find her lover. Elmer H. Lutes, a
suicide. His body was found in the
snow late yesterday afternoon near
Fort Wright by two soldiers, Miss
McClain today telegraphed Miss C.
Lutes, an aunt of the deceased, that
she would be heer tonight. The
couple are said to have been en-
gagged but the cause of Lute's act
is still mystery.
He was 25 years of age and re-
sided with his aunt and his grand
mother, Mrs. E. Findley, at 1922
Deane av. He was a mining man
and held the position of superin-
tendent Of the Orofino mine at
Butte. On Jan. s he went down
town to get the mail and was seen
no more alive. The aunt waited a
week and then notified the police
The search made for him baffled
the officers and only chance reveal
ed the young mans fate.
He had evidently shot himself
with a % caliber revolver, the
bullet striking him in the heart
The revolver was found by his side.
On his person were letters and a
pint flask. The coroner and family
refused to disclose the contents of
the letters, claiming they merely
pertained to business matters. The
coroner pronounced it case of sui
eide, but Miss Lutes is unable to &C
count for the young mans death
on this theory, as he was of a happy
disposition and seemingly had no
serious trouble. He had complain
ed somewhat of poor health, which

elusive, idea of the 10000 club
and with this backing 5000 names
were signed to it on account of the
rising popularity Of the organization
whose objects, on the start, were to
boost Spokane's population, but
whose objects of late are pointing
toward politics, it is urged.
Here is the deep scheme alleged
to be back Of it all. The Country
club, a millionaire's organization
which sometime ago petitioned the
city council to give it water at the
same rate as served to hospitals,
sch ools and other charitable insti-
tutions, is backing the park scheme
so as to eventually have it's grounds
turned into a park and improve
them at the expense of the public.
There is need of a real estate boom
in that section of the city, and if
the Country club grounds could be
turned into a city park a boost in
the price Of real estate in that sec
ton would necessarily follow.
OF the 10 men named to have per-
petual control of the parks, not one
is from the First ward, and in con-
sequence taxpayers of the First
ward are against it on that account
if for no other reason.

tain them.
Oscar A. Pink, a salesman, was
chosen as possible twelfth Juror

Manufacturer accepted as thir-
teenth selection. Eleven men are
now in the box, the twelfth and
thirteenth taking the two vacant
places. The acceptance of one Of
these men will complete the jury.
DR.. ]. T. Deemer, of Pennsyl-
vania, is present in court. He is
expected to testify that two
brothers of Mrs. VIM. Thaw are
weak minded and one was confined
for a time in an asylum.
Reports were current during re-
cess that another juror, believed to
be Deming Smith, foreman, will be
dropped this afternoon. A long de-
lay in opening the afternoon ses-
sion was caused by a conference
between Jerome and counsel for the
defense. Half hour after the stated
hour for opening the attorneys
filed in. Jerome's face was clouded
and Partridge frowned and nerv-
ousfy bit his lip.
Following peremptory chal-
lenge by the defense of Henry w.
Hubbard, secretary of missionary
board, the court called the attor-
neys to the bench and a long, mys-
terious conference ensued. Thaw
excitedly asked Peabody what it
was all about. At the conclusion
of another conference Jerome arose
and said they had decided to excuse
Kleinberger on account of the state
