KEPT AVERY MOVING

Considerable stir was created in
police court yesterday afternoon by
A. G. Avery, Washington Water
Power Co. attorney, who refused to
get out of the seat reserved and re-
spected as belonging to the prose-
cutting attorney. Bailiff Edwards,
when Justice Hinkle took the
bench, asked Avery to allow AS
sistant Corporation Counsel Rhodes
to take his seat. Avery wouldn t
at first, but did when Justice Hin
kle gave him a glance over the
rim OF his spectacles. Then Avery
planked himself down into a re-
porter's seat and was once more
asked to sit elsewhere. He fatty
refused this time and interrupted
the business of the court to ask if
he was not entitled to a seat some
where. Justice Hinkle told him he
was, but not where he was then
sitting. Then Avery hitched his
chair a little way from the table
and allowed thin reporter a place
to squeeze in.

DURKIN SPRINGS HIS
MASTERPIECE

Jimmy Durkin has added another
extension to his reputation as the
most persistent and industrious adj
vertiser in the west. And this last
stroke of Jimmy's is a masterpiece
of the publicity art. BY reason Of
it Jimmy has made sign boards of
all the show windows within a
block of the Sprague and Wall st.
corner and the owners of these win
dows can't help it. Jimmy simply
annexed them and here is how he
did it:
Every inch of outside space on
the building he occupies at Spra-
que and Wall has been covered
with signs in all colors and the con-
trast effect is something you can't
get away from. 1t makes a home
run impression every time it lands
on your eye.
And the sun falls on this riot of
color just right to throw the re-
Election on all the show windows
across the street for a block. jim
my didn't arrange the sun that
way, but he figured and developed
the idea. If you look in a grocery
store coming along you read there
in of the virtues Jimmy claims for
his whiskey and with quotation
from preacher that Jimmy is on
the square. In the hardware he is
still telling you about his beer. He
catches you coming and going. You
look around to account for all this
and Jimmy's idea sheds a variagat-
ed glow all over you. Every bit Of
glass in, range echoes his scheme.
OF course there have been kicks
and talk, Just as Jimmy figured
there would be- He's loaded for
'em. The proprietor of the bog Nc
Gowan hardware store, across the
street, complained that the sign
display dazzled his clerks eyes. It
made them feel the need of goggles.
Jimmy promptly offered to furnish
the goggles if allowed to inscribe
his name over each eyehole. But
he fell down on putting through
that enterprise.
But he has homesteaded all the
windows and the great issue in that
part Of the city now is how to dis
possess him.

The saloon resolution denounces
the liquor business as an evil, re-
cites former attempts to establish
it in Union park, and declares
against any further extension of sa-
looms outside of the fire limits. The
pool room protest introduced by
Mr.. Tyson endorses and supports
the action of the council and
mayor in making the pool room or.
dinance effective all over the city,
and declares in favor of leaving
the ordinance untampered with.
Resolutions of appreciation for
the support accorded the movement
by the Spokane Press and other
daily papers of the city were also
adopted unanimously. The com
mittees named to circulate the pro
test petitions began work today
From present prospects the only
names missing from these docu
ments will be the few already in
scribed as endorses Of Kronen
berg's license.

REFUSAL MEANS SHORT RE.
NEWAL CONTRACT AND IN
CREASED EFFORTS ON BE.
HALF OF CITY PlANT-lAT-
TER MEANS SAVING OF
THOUSANDS.

The probability of a municipal
lighting plant in the near future
is more apparent than ever. The
5-year contract of the Washington
Water Power Co. to furnish the
city with lights expires August 81
and the council, unless the w. w.
P. gets particularly busy with a
substantial reduction in it's 81 rate,
will limit the term of the next con-
tsact to l year. In the meantime
some definite action toward the in
stallation of a city piant may be
taken.
Five years ago the board of pub
lie works gave the w. w. p. fat
contract at 81 a month for each arc
light. There was no opposition
from any other electric company
because there is no other cleo
tricity producing company in Spo-
kane.
Although extremely high, the
board let the contract. At that
time there were 249 arc lights dis
tributed about the city at various
street corners. But since then
about 100 more have been put in at
various times. The council order
ed the board to install 8 additional
at l time in each ward. In 1903, on
recommendation of l.. Frank Boyd

BUFFALO, July 16.-Like a
well-known brand of soap, Mrs.
Fra Elbertus Hubbard is declared
by her Philistine husband to be
1914" per cent what the perfect
woman ought to be.
All the famous women of history
must take to the woods, says the
hirsute Fra, because he opines that
Sapho was a low-brow, Cornelia an
adherent to race suicide, Hypatia a
nincompoop, and all the other no.
table ladies Of past ages mere ap-
ordinations, when compared with
the wife whom he now pledges
undying affection and the gross
revenues from the wrapping-paper
periodical and the Roycroft shops
where Roycroft persons do very
Roycroft things in an Utterly Roy
croft way.
The Fra expresses his opinions in
so garrulous pages of new book.
"She laughs at all my jokes" he
solemnly asserts, land l do the
same for her"
Epitomizing this perfect woman
and perfect wife, he writes: "As-
suming that 100 is a perfect STAN
dard, a judicial rating would place
Alice Hubbard somewhere near
the figure 80 in the following: AS
mother, housekeeper, economist,
methodiZer, diplomat, financier, or
ator, writer, reformer, inventor, hui
manitarian, teacher, philosopher. "
The Fra says he has loved her
for II long, passionate, burning
years. AS matter of fact, they
were married some 4 years ago,
and the public heard of the second
Mrs. Elbertus for the first time
when the original wife of the &c.
centric pen-pusher applied for di.
vorce and stood sponsor for a spicy
bill Of particulars reproaching the
woman who had stolen her hus.
bands affections and had borne
him children.
Il have written ner 1900 letters
gushes the Fra. Knowing the
great women of the world, and
having analzed their characters
and characteristics, still believe
that Alice Hubbard, in way of men
tai reach, sanity, sympathy and all
aroun ability, outclasses any WON
an of history, ancient or modern
mentally, morally and spiritually

UNION PARK ON
WARPATH
BIG MEETING OF REPRESENTA-
TIVE CITIZENS DENOUNCE
ATTEMPT TO ESTABLISH SA
LOON AND START ACTIVE
CAMPAIGN.

Anybody burdened with a notion
that saloon keeping is apt to be.
come popular form of enterprise
in Union park could have absorb.
ed a lot of useful information
touching the fallacy of his views at
the Improvement hall mass meet.
ing last night. Residents Of that
part of the city were so full of
fighting spirit they had plenty to
spare to the Interstate fair man
agement's effort to prolong the life
of pool gambling graft.
The tangible results of the meet.
ing were resolutions and the or
ganization of a protest movement
through which petitions against
the gin mill promoted by j. Kron-
enberg will be filed with the city
council before next Tuesday even
ing when the license application
comes up for consideration.
Whether the license is granted
or not depends upon Councilmen
Funk and Brown, who are from the
First ward, where Union park is
located and who compose the ma
jority of the license committee.
Funk, with his customary shrewd-
ness in matters Of state, merely ex.
planned that he was there only to
learn what his constituents wanted,
but Councilman Brown could not
hide the sore spot caused by his
defeat for reelection. Browns a
butcher, but the business hash t
thickened his hide a bit. He want
ed to call somebody a liar for in
timating that he was supporting
the threatened saloon invasion.
Browns words didn't hitch very
well with his action later in being
! of the 8 that voted against the
protest resolution. They were in
the minority by about 800 votes.
DR.. Penn, as chairman; Rev
Brown, Rev. Seberger, Father
Pupers, J. S. Moore, r. A. Tyson,
w. M. V. Winans, r. F. Collins,
were among the speakers who
earnestly and effectively opposed
the saloon. Morris Croker arose
to befriend the project on the
ground that it would raise realty
valuations, but Crocker hadn't
much more than propounded this
novel theory than he noticed a tor
nado proceeding rapidly in his di-
rection and beat it to the cyclone
cellar. What the anti-saloon men
did to his ideas on valuations was
not far from homicide without
bloodshed.
