JOYCE TURNED
DOWN

The mayors appointment of
Thomas Joyce as inspector of
weights and measures was not con-
firmed by the council which met
last evening. Following the read
ing of the mayors communication
naming Joyce. Councilman Gray
moved for confirmation and the fol-
lowing vote resulted:
Ayes, Gray, Baldwin, Laumer,
Dalke, Pratt; noes, Phillips, Brown,

who are interested in securing the
position got busy with the council
men whenever they left their seats
Councilmen made no comment
either for or against the mayors
choice.

view it, Joyce has lost out. Wheth.

MRS. DE|BEL BOUND OVER

evidence had not shown that she
was implicated for the reason that
little Emma's testimony was not
corroborated He argued at length
on the injustice of binding his
client over on any such testimony,
which he said was suggested to
the little girl.
Prosecutor Webster jumped to
his feet when Attorney Powell de-
clared in some heat:
The prosecution desires to hold
Mrs. Delbel as blind while 1t
searches for the real culprit."
The prosecutor contended that
the little girls lies We're told to
protect someone. He referred to
the mysterious return of the dia-
mond and other jewelry while En-.
ma was in jail and stated that this
was an indication that outside par
ties were implicated. In closing
he stated that the prosecution
would have others behind the bars
before the case was ended.
Attorney Powell then stated that
he did not wish to make any de.

SHACK AWAY OUT
IN SAGE Blush

Albert Nolan and w. A. Fergu-
son, arrested last night by Patrol
man H. G. Rolf, this afternoon con-
fessed to Sergeant Herndon that
they are robbers. When arrested
at the New York saloon they had
a sack full Of silverware, blankets,
quilts and fine linen The claim to
be tramps who were hanging
around in the sageprusn country
near Mesa. They say they came
to a cabin miles from any other
habitation. They found food there
and remained a day. When they
left they took what they believed
they could sell. One of the men
stated that he found note which
read:
The Dents have moved to Spo-
kane for the winter"
The police are making efforts to
locate the family. Nolan stated
that the house was one room
place and that it was furnished
with a piano, expensive furniture
and carpets. He said there must
have been $500 worth of finely
bound books there.

SAY MOTHER LED

A mother and her daughter were
fined $50 each in police court this
afternoon by Justice Hinkle. Ser

testified that the mother took her
child out Of school and taught
her'to rustic boxes" and walk the
streets for money. Sergeant Sulli-
van declared that no punishment
possible for the court to infiict

when arrested, gave the name of
Olive otoner and the daughter
Agnes Kelly.
The mother upon the witness
stand denied the charges, and with
tears In her eyes told about being a
Woodworking woman. The daugh-
ter also denied the charges. The
evidence of the officers, however,
that the mother and daughter fire.

together, was taken as sufficient for
the imposition of fine. The daugh-
ter was given into the care of the

there until the court orders her re-

was the edict which went out from
the board of health Office this
morning to the company officials.
That an evident desire to be some
what decent has been experienced
by the company was attested at
the health board meeting last night
by Dr.. William l.. Hall, who told
about placing his feet upon one OF
the seats the other day and being
promptly told by a conductor that
the car had then been swept and
busted twice and that the only rea-
son it had not been given third
sweeping was because the conduc-

The cars since the boards pre-
vious order are in much more
sanitary condition, but all of them
need scrubbing and must be
scrubbed at least once day.
Conductors do not take kindly to
orders to sweep their cars. There
is some talk as to whether or not
the company will insist that they
also scrub them.

CITY SALARY JOB SHOP
GR|NDS MERELY ALONG

A policy Of entrenchment was an
nounced some time ago at the city
hall, but this plan appears to have
no bearing on the process of Great
ing salary jobs. Enough progress
in that direction had been made al
ready to inspire belief that all po-
litical obligations were taken care
of, but such an idea appears to be
erroneous and the end is not yet
apparently. Where there are no
more jobs assistant jobs, are to be
created.
Every individual and private
business concern in the country is
exercising careful economy this
time of the year, and the reason
why the same rule does not prevail
in city offices is a question that
ought to interest the taxpayer.
1t should also be remembered in
this connection that there has been
a noticeable diminutiOn of men
employed on the streets and in
other city labor departments. The
public has to wade mud in the in
terests of civic economy. The rule
that he that has a job shall lose 1t
and he that has none shall be given
one seems to prevail-provided he
that has not is possessed of the
propr pull.

POLICE RELEASE
ONE SUSPECT IN
SCHULTZ CASE

The police this afternoon re-
leased ole Gregg, the bartender
who has been held with Curtis
Hawkenberry as suspect in the
case of Perry Schultz, the
Traction motorman who early Sun
day morning was found dead in his
roo mat the Kaiser hotel. Gregg's
statements We're thoroughly inves-
tigated and were borne out in each
instance by corroboration.
Detectives Brilcy and Weir are
especially assigned to the case, and
ever since the arrest of the two
suspects have devoted their time
to verifying the statements they
made to Chief Rice. Hawkenberry,
however, will be held, as his actions
and statements are so mysterious
that the police today are more
than ever of the opinion he Is i'm
plcated. That the murdered man
was robbed, the police say is GER
tain.
No inquest has been determined
on yet and Coroner Witter today
stated that there might be none at
all, as the prosecuting attorney and
police desire to keep secret the
extent of their Investigations.

ARE new LIGHTS
COMPULSORY?

Can the Washington Water
Power Co. be compelled to furnish
electric light on demand? Coun-
Gilman Pratt believes so, and to
that end last night introduced a
resolution requesting the corpora
ton counsel to look into the law
on the question and to report back
to the council at the next regular
meeting.
Corporation Counsel Hamblen
had little hesitancy in saying that
1t was a matter for determination
by civil suit, but Pratt was insis-
tent that the question should be
gone into officially and immediate
ly. He said many persons COM
planned that the company refused
to install lights when requested,
Notwithstanding there were poles
and wires in their vicinity and the
company would be put to little ex-
pense in furnishing the desired
service.
The company's reluctance to add
more lights is hard to understand
when II is remembered that sepa-
rate five years contract attaches to
each new light installed.

TROUBLE

GOLDFIELD, Dec. 1.-THE inn
preston is growing at Goldfeld

1t is regarded as significant that

but not to supersede Reynolds.
Applications by thousands have

ORCHARD TELLS
HIS STORY
AGAIN

BOISE, Dec. 11.-For the second
time Harry Orchard has begun a
recital of his crime-stained life to
jury in the Boise courtroom. 1t
was the same story he had told in
the Haywood trial with a single
deviation. Except for seeming
willingness to tell all without re-
serve. his attitude on the stand is
similar to that of the first trial.
The courtroom was crowded with
women today. Orchard entered
with a brisk step and held his hand
high as he took the oath.
In passing he glanced casually at
Meyer and Pettibone, but was well
along in his testimony when his
eye met theirs. His face did not
show an expression, but his eyes
dropped and he changed position.
Today is the first time Orchard
had seen either men since he left
them in Colorado. Orchard told of
his early life in Colorado, his in
fatuation for the wife of another
man, their elopement, his forsak-
ing the woman and child and COM
ing to Idaho. His description of
the blowing up of the Bunker Hill
& Sullivan mines was precise. He
admitted that he touched off the
fuse. From this act he went into
the Colorado troubles and of his
meeting with Haywood and Petit
bone.
The noon adjournment was taken
with Orchard still on the stand.
