SON" BLUFF
FAILED TO WORK

F. w. Vaughn, age 23, of South
Bend, Ind, succeeded In buncoing
the chamber of commerce into en-
PERTAINING him yesterday by repre-
senting himself to be the favorite
son OF Secretary of War Taft.
Vaughn arrived at the Spokane no.
tel the night before and registed,
"W. H. Taft. jr." Soon afterward
he borrowed 500 from Alexander
Flick. travelling man from Oma-
ha, and announced that he needed
It to go to Portland and meet his
illustrious father.
He was finally found out to be a
fraud by the character of his
clothes, which caused suspicious
ones to intimate that the portly
secretary's son wasn't so much the
dandy as. 1t would be natural to
suppose. Detective Weir was call
ed and scared the young man into
admitting that he was bogus.
Mr.. Flick. who was gullible
enough to loan $40 to the "secre-
tary's son." thought it a good joke
and refused to cause Vaughn's ar
rest. Vaughn left town last night.
1t is believed, because he has not
been seen today.

MESSAGES
IN STACKS

Correspondence received by the
tS44graphers' union from Chicago
puts a different version on strike
conditions in that city from those
given by the newspapers affected
by the strike. An illustration Is
shown the Postal Chicago manager
being interviewed just after he
claimed he had turned away over
800 operators clamoring for jobs.
His Office was refusing business at
that time because it could not
be handled.
Instead of counting the messages
that accumulated the check boys
stacked them up and measured
them. The Postal had a stack of
messages for San Francisco 81
inches high and another stack 5
feet 10 inches high for New York.
The Western Union was even
worse swamped. Messages for any
points within $500 miles are being
relayed via United States mails.
Company versions Of the strike
take precedence over all other
business. Investigations of COM
plants that railroad operators
were plugging the wires proved
that the trouble was caused by in
competent operators hired to
break the strike.

CL0WRY VETERAN STRIKE BREAKER

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Robert
c. Clowry, president of the West
ern Union Telegraph Co., has had
experience with striking telegraph
ers before.
The last time was in 1888. At
that time he was general superin-
tendent OF the western division,
with headquarters at Chicago.
BY a diplomacy which has since
been condemned he induced scores
of men to remain faithful to the
company, and he is trying the same
tactics now.
Mr.. Clowry was born in Will
county, Illinois. near Joliet, and
will be So years old Sept. s.
Like Andrew Carnegie, he com
menced life as messenger boy,
and, like Carnegie, he was a Civil
war telegrapher, serving under
General Arson Stager. who was
one of Grants telegraphic chiefs
in that conflict.
In 1865, at the age of q years,
Mr.. Clowry was brevetted lieu
tenant colonel for faithful service
for the government during the
war
Mr.. Clowry's commercial inter
ests lie in 3 countries-the United
States. Canada and Mexico.
Besides the Western Union, he is
president and director in the fol-
lowing companies: American Dis
trict Telegraph Co., of New York:
American Telegraph & Cable Co.;
American Union Telegraph Co, !;
American District Telegraph Co,
of New Jersey; Gold & Stock Tele-
graph Co; international Ocean
Telegraph Co.; New York Mutual
Telegraph Co.; Pacific & Atlantic
Telegraph Co.; Southern & Allan
tic Telegraph Co: American Speak
ing Telephone Co. and the East
ern District Messenger Co,
He Is also director in many
other enterprises.
Mr.. Clowry belongs to several
clubs in New York /. and Chicago,
His residence is S01 10th St. New
York, and his office is at 1875 Broad
way.

MAYOR MOORE May
Be HOME SATURDAY

Mayor Moore and Commissioner
William T. Roy ale expected home
from Chicago Saturday afternoon.
Although several letters have been
received from either l or the other
of them, no intimation came as to
a selection of supervising engi-
neer for the new bridge building
operations to be understaken here.
This leads people to believe that
the trip in this particular will be
reported as unsuccessful, and the
city will fall back on the previous
agreement of the Wallace Coate
Co. to furnish man. 1t is also
possible that ]. G. Ralston will be
recommended to supervise the
work. Ralston is mining and
civil engineer who has operated ex-
tensively throughout the north
west. At present he is an invalid.
The mayor favors him for COM
missioner in place Of James T.
ONO, at present at the head Of
bridge affairs. uBt the democratic
councilmen refuse to Dust ONO.

TO HELP
OPERATORS

Although union telegraphers IN
this city have made no request for
financial assistance they have not
yet begun to draw strike benefits
from their own organization and
there is a growing disposition on
the part of other unions to extend
them any help they might need.
The matter will probably be
brought up at the next meeting OF
the Typographical union, and
other organizations are holding
themselves in readiness TO furnish
something more substantial than
sympathy II the occasion arises.
One effect of the present strike
may be the affiliation of the opera
tors employed on newspapers with
the International Typographical
union. A committee has been APP
pointed by the latter union to work
on the proposition. A combination
of that sort in trouble like the
present would prevent newspapers
from receiving and also printing
messages until a settlement was
reached.

STOCKHOLDERS
MAKE GOOD

At meeting held in Judge Poin-
dexter's courtroom last night,
stockholders Of the Spokane Relish
& Catsup Co. decided to raise
money among themselves and pay
the company debts contracted by
N. o. Harvey and j. H. Wright,
president and secretary, who dis
appeared mysteriously. The stock
ordered will be taken care of as
far as possible.
Some interesting figures as to
these gentlemen's expenses we're
brought forth. Among them were
$34 for an automobile trip to Occur
d'Alene; 50 for 3 gallons of wills
key; $1,000 for weeks trip east
and $115 for rocking chair and
buffet. There was also $40
dressmaker bill charged to the
company on Harvey's account.
Most Of the stockholders are
poor people. The company prop
erty is at Trent, where a lot of GU
cumbers and tomatoes have been
sailed down for the manufacture of
catsup. The foundation of the fac
tory is all that is completed. The
books show that almost $4,000 has
been received for stock in the
last few months and only $4,000
legitimate expenses can be ac-
counted for.
Wright and Harvey controlled
the majority of stock by crediting
themselves with $4,000 worth of a
"catsup recipe" which they owned.
The new management expects to
be able to apprehend the fugitive
Ulcers and recover as much as
possible from them on behalf of
the stockholders.
G. H. Clairmont and c. F. Dan
vers were elected trustees, and an
advisory board chosen as follows:
H. Pierce, DR.. c. p HENDERSON
and l.. r. Lambert. They will take
charge of the company's tangled af-
fairs and endeavor to put it on it's
feet

prices asked for light and power in
Spokane are more than twice ask
ed by the Seattle Electric Co. in
Seattle. Small manufacturers are
paying more than twice as much
for power in Spokane as is paid by
similar concerns in Seattle.
AS the situation stands now, tax
payers are bearing the burden of
monopoly prices and neglecting to
use the available weapon in their
hands to force relief.
The committee of the central
body will take the matter of NUM-
cipal light and power up with the
city officials once more, and it is
certain that every member Of the
city government who plays into the
hands of the local monopoly on this
question at this time will be COM
PEELED to explain his conduct to his
constituents should he ever again
wish to hold Office in this city.
1t was promised the people OF
the city when the present city
waterworks was installed that the
city would generate it's own light
at the up-river dam. This can be
done today by raising the dam 2
feet higher. Engineer Tanning
gave it as his opinion that the dam
could be raised more than 2 feet,
but If even 2 feet were added there
would be power enough to generate
all the light necessary for streets
and public building, and then
some.

TRY TO BUNco UNION

That the telegraphers' strike has
pushed the companies to the last
resort is shown by the fact that
the Associated Press is trying to
start a number Of fake news
agencies in the middle west in or.
der to induce old operators to work
for their former employer without
knowing 1t. The men refuse to &C.
cept employment until a general
settlement has been made with the
national union.
At st. Louis the women opera
tors are just as enthusiastic in the
strike as the men. One of the de-
mands of the union is that the
women operators be paid as much
as the men, as they are compelled
to do the same work and have been
paid but about half the salary.

Organized labor as represented
by the Central Labor union is OPP
posed to any contract being made
by the city with the Washington
Water Power Co. for lights for
streets and public buildings for a
period of more than l year.
The central body has repeatedly
gone on record as favoring NUM-
cipal lighting plant, and last night
that position was reaffirmed in the
appointment of special committee
to protest against entering into any
contract with the local monopoly
extending over l year.
Working men generally believe
that the w. w. P. Co. charges for
arc lights to the city are fairly
reasonable, but are certain that
the charges for residences and
small manufacturing plants are eX-
orbitant. 1t Is pointed out that in
some cities the lighting companies
serve the city gratis wit ha large
number of street lights in consider
alton for their franchises, which
naturally tends to discount the
local power monopoly's contention
that it is particularly generous
with this city.
What Is desired Is reasonable
rate for lights for homes and small
manufacturing plants, and the city
should secure these conditions for
citizens.
Since the installation of NUM-
cipal lighting plant in Seattle the
cost to consumers has been re-
duced more than W per cent. The
