THREAT TO KILL DRAPER
MAN-HuNTER RECEIVES WORD
OF MURDEROUS NOTICE
POSTED BY CRIMINAL AT
RITZViLLE.

Harry Draper will be murder
ed sometime between Jan. 3 and
Jan. s."
Police officers of Ritzville,
Wash, telephoned this communica-
ton to Spokane headquarters last
night. The man who was seen to
write the notice in the rear of a
Ritzville saloon is the man who
Monday robbed a citizen of Ritz
vile of 1913 and with the money
bought a ticket for Spokane. All
yesterday local police officers
sought somebody answering the
description of the hunted man
from Ritzville but failed to find
him.
There is a desire on the part of
the police and Harry Draper to dis
credit the communication Draper
acts a little nervous over the mat
ter, as several times before he has
been warned to remain on his
guard against his enemies. The
fact that his two bloodhOunds,
with which he hunts out criminals,
were stolen Sunday night from the
kennels on Superior st. seems to
indicate hidden activity against
Draper.
Hereafter he will not go about
alone. but will have either local
detective or private policeman by
his side most of the time. He is
employed nights as guard at the
Traction Co. barns.

CHAsES THIEF. DOWN STREET

Unusual excitement was caused
on Front av. last nigt by the porter
at the Monica hotel in dead chase
after thief who was detected in

secured an open face silver watch
and $11 in cash and was leaving
the room stealthily when the porter

LABOR WILL ENDORSE
POSTAL SAVINGS BANK

In reply Morrison says he will
have the resolutions introduced
into the convention. He said it
would be necessary to have some
delegate bring them in, but that
would be done. 1t is very likely
that Cooney's resolutions will be
adopted by the convention and the
big labor federation placed square
ly on record for this needed reform
in our banking system.

TO KEEP MOToRMEN WARM

Portable when the cold days ar

been supplied with electric heat

at the end of the run or make a
loop. In this way the motormen
are not subjected TO the cold at
any time.

Congressman Prince of ILL.,
noiS (Rep.) Does Not Ap-
prove CorteIyou'S Action.

Chicago, Nov. ia dispatch to the
Inter Ocean from Galesburg. ILL.,, says:
Congressman George Prince, member
of the house committee on banking
and currency, in speaking yesterday of
the issuance of Panama bonds and debt
certificates. said:
I'VE owe $500, 900, 900 of interest-bear-
ing debt. We have in the hands of ma
tional banks, and drawing no interest
for the government $24O 100000.
Cannot Be Justified.
THE present policy of the secretary
of the treasury is to all intents in times
Of peace adding to the interest-bearing
debt of the people $780, 900, 600 1t is not
justifiable under existing conditions. l
think that the $50, 900, 600 needed for
the construction of the Panama canal
should be taken out of the S240. 900, 900
in the banks, and not be raised by bond
issue. AS to the other s1OO 900 900
which is proposed to be raised by debt
certificates, ] 40 not approve of the
plan at all. First, because the money
is worth to 6 per cent interest, and
no one is going to buy a government
note that draws but 3 per cent interest.
The Deal Explained.
Second, because the purpose of the
per cent note is to realize money from
the sales Of these certificates, the
money arising from the sale to be de-
posted in the national banks What
does this mean? 1t means, if l under
stand it correctly, that the people are
to borrow 100000 600 and pay g per
cent on it and hand it over to the ma
tional banks, to be by them loaned
without a dollars cost to them, to the
people at the rate of 5 to 10 per cent.
according to the rate where the banks
are located"
Mr.. Prince also said he disapproved
asset currency, unless it was proposed
to deposit in the treasury assets secur-
ing the issue.

Washington, Nov. 19.-If sympathy
and pity should be factors in determin-
ing the verdict in the Bradley case, the
effect Of the defendants testimony to-
day will result in her being set at lib

crowded the court room, was evidently

Face DeathIy White.
Mrs. Bradley rose almost quickly
when her name was called. She took
the oath and mounted to the witness
chair. But as she sat and faced the
court room her courage seemed to de-
sert her in a flash. She was deathly
white, and her answers to preliminary
questions Were given in such a low
voice that the stenOgrapher had to re-

that Mrs. Bradley could not muster

no avail, and for some minutes it
seemed that she would not be able to
so on.
Could Not Control Herself.
Mrs. Bradley broke down for the first
time when the name of Arthur Brown
was brought into the case. When
Judge Powers asked Mrs. Bradley to
describe the character of her relations
with Brown, Mrs. Bradley broke down
completely. She was unable to answer
the question. Tears streamed down
her face, and she shook her head after
making several attempts to answer.

Judge Powers exercised great consid-
