A wordy battle was narrowly
averted in the council last night
when Councilman Fred Baldwin &C
cused Arthur d. Jones, the real es-
tate man who is supposed to be
close to the Washington Water
Fower Co. interests, with speaking
to the grandstand when he said
the city was big enough to demand
that the w. w. p. come to it, in
stead of always sending commit

Baldwin intimated that Jones was
talking for the benefit of visitors
Jones replied that he would make
no further talk because there was

DENNIS DEAL
KNOCKED OUT
CITY HAS NO RIGHT TO GIVE
BIG PIECE OF WORK ON
SPRAGUE ST. TRESTLE TO
INTERESTED CORPORATION.

An opinion submitted to the
council last night by its legal ad-
wiser, H. l.. Hamblen, settled the
attempts of George E. Dennis to
secure payment of about $4,000
from the city for the Improvement
of property on E. Sprague av. by
filling in the trestle. The opinion
was to the effect that the city had
no right to give Dennis company
the contract without bids first be-
ing called for.
Still Mr.. Dennis was unsatisied
and harangued the council for
about 20 minutes, repeating over
and over again the financial re-
liability of his corporation, sim
cerity in the welfare of the city,
and finally admitted that his de-
sires were prompted mostly on ac-
count of enhancing of the value OF
his holdings. Despite the opinion
of the corporation counsel, he ask
ed the council again to pay him
$4,000 to put in the fill Someone
told him they were already aware
that this was illegal. He subsidized
then on that subject Dennis was
asked how much of the expense
was to be borne by the w. w. P.
and the Inland Empire system,
and in reply said the former had
agreed to pay $1,000 as its share
and the latter would pay half the
expense of the steel trestle over
its tracks, which would amount to
about $12 $500.
Then arose the question Of how
much the city could force those
companies to advance if the city
does the work. The corporation
counsel's opinion held that, accord
ing to the franchise of the w. w.
P. it was compelled to pave, ma
cadamize or otherwise improve"
the bridge. From this the coun-
sci took it that the company could
be forced TO pay the actual cost of
the work between its rails and for

RIOT OF LOVE, MARRLAG AND DIVORCE
BECAUSE OF A WOMANS VIOLET EYES
Special Correspondent to The Pres

opeciHA correspondent TO Vne ffeBSs
PARIS, Oct. 3.-Here is a story
of millions and marriages, loves
and divorces, the steel trust and
Yokohama, Paris and Pittsburg, 35
lady's maids and a Spanish royalty,
Denver and the Angel Gabriel.
1t revolves around the beautiful
daughter of Col. Geo. W. Baxter, of
the South. sub, also ex-governor
of Arizona. She was known as
Beautiful Uornelia." Sne had vio-
let eyes.
Years ago this young girl came to
Paris for finishing touches. Paris
went crazy over her Grecian fea-
lures, her blond hair and the violet
eyes. Besides, Gen. Baxter had
much of the ready cash. She was
engaged to Gerald Hughes, wealthy
clubman, but four weeks before
the wedding she Tilted him. This
was while she was visiting San
Francisco. Almost before Hughes
could recover from his surprise,
the beautiful Cornelia had married
Hugh Tevis, who had inherited mil
lions made in silver, copper and
gold. They sailed away for the
orient and six weeks later Tevis
died at Yokohama.
So her was beautiful and
wealthy widow with violet eyes.
In the meantime, two youthful
scions of Pittsburg's elite were
qualifying to break into the story.
One was Lawrence Cowles Phipps;
the other was Hart Mckee. Young
Pnipps was second vice president
of the steel corporation. Mckee
was a Princeton graduate. Both
had genuine Pittsburg fortunes, be-
cause nobody from Pittsburg is
ever poor.
Phipps married slender, 19-year-
old Genevieve Chandler in 1898,
and took her to live at Grandview,
a show place of SmOkytOwn. She
had Titan hair and a complexion
made of roses and cream. Mckee
married lovely Lydia Sutton, of

The Canadian Pacific owns the
Spokane & International railroad,
extending from Spokane across the
Canadian border, possessing 81 per
cent of the stock as well as a 25
year option on the remainder.
Canadian Pacific trains are now
being operated out of Spokane to
st. Paul and Minneapolis via the
Canadian line, and with the 500
lire already developed as far as
Columbia Falls, Mont, close to the
Idaho border, the entire line of the
Canadian Pacific in the United
States is expected to be concluded
WITHIN few years.
The North Coast railroad will
run parallel to the Great Northern
tracks through Washington. and it
is this route that the Canadian Pa
cific will use from Spokane at the
time of the fair in Seattle Con-
nections with the 500 line will
probably be made in 1910.

HINT AT SCANDAL
IN BARNEY SUIAIDE
Reported That He Was Deserted By
Woman Who Was The Cause For
Divorce Being Granted BY
Mrs. Barney.


New York, Nov. 15.-Former Ptesi.
dent Charles T. Barney Of the suspend
ed Knicgerbocker Trust Co. who died
yesterday from selfinficted pistol
wound, leaves an estate estimated at
over S2,0o0,000. Friends still insist that
he shot himself accidentally but the
truth will probably not be known for
several days when an inquest i com.
pleted. The coroner win direct inquiries
less into Barneys financial affairs than
toward domestic troubles. He will seek
grounds for the divorce which IL was ex-
pected his wife was soon to secure and
the nature Of his relations between him
and woman who, acquaintance say,
won his affections and then deserted
aim in the time of trouble.
Ernest Thalman, one of the receivers
for the Kniekerboeker Trust Co.. said
today, $50 far as ! can see the death Of
Mr.. Barney will not materially effect the
interests Of the knickerbocker Trust
company, although his personal know
ledge might have facilitated adjusting
certain details, the receivers have al.
ready got the affairs Of the company
pretty well in hand Arrangements were
made previously for the adjustment of
his personal liabilities and assume that
his estate viii be administered in mucn.
the same as it would be were he alive.
