TAKE BRIDGE PLANS EAST
MAYOR AND COMMISSIONER
ROY TO HAVE JUNKET TO
CHICAGO IN ENDEAvOR TO
UNRAVEL MIDDLE OVER BE-
GINNING WORK..

Mayor Moore and Commissioner
w. T. Roy are to take all the bridge
plans to Chicago and there submit
them to the Wallace-Coates Engi-
neering Co.
This was decided today at a spe-
cial meeting attended by the
mayor, Commissioners Roy, Ono
and O'Brien, and Councilmen Pratt,
Funk and Gray, the special bridge
committee of the council.
There has been SO much difficulty
about suitable plans and so many
other suggestions and differences
of opinion about the Wallace
Coates plans, that it was thought
advisable to have the plans taken
to Chicago, hoping thus to decide
definitely and begin the already be-
lated work on constructing safe
bridges, something the city now
lacks. The committee will take the
original plans of the Wallace
Coates Co., City Engineer Mcln-
tyres, Engineer Lupfer's, OF the
Traction Co., and the plans OF the
Washington Water Power Co.
While in Chicago the committee
will engage a competent engineer
who will superintend the building
Of the concrete bridges under direc-
ton of the Wallace-Coates Co.
Tonight the mayor will submit
the scheme to the council in COM
mittee Of the whole. IL the sub
committees acts are endorsed by
the council tonight the mayor and
Commissioner Roy will leave for
the east before Saturday.
At this mornings meeting Engi-
neer Lupfer, Of the Traction Co., as
sured the committee that he was
authorized to guarantee that the
company would stand half the ex-
pense of temporary structure
over the river on Washington ST.,
which would be needed during the
course of the erection of the con-
crete bridge. This temporary
structure will be commenced at
once. The probably cost is $2700
The Traction Co. does not agree to
pay its share of this as soon as the
temporary bridge is built, but says
through the engineer, that the city
must deduct this cost from the
amount to be charged against the
company on the permanent struc-
ture. Just what part of this the
company will pay is not yet settled.

DRUNKEN DRUMMERS
SEND IN ALARMS

! A colored chauffeur and 3 drunk
en- drummers from Portland are
sought by the police on informa-
tion that these men are responsible
for the numerous false alarms of
FIRE turned in Sunday and Monday
nights which caused the depart
ment to cover many miles with
their apparatus and run the horses
until they were almost exhausted.
1t was thought tnat after Sunday
night the performances would not
be repeated, but last night at 10
O'Clock an alarm came in from
Second and Madison. The patrol,
loaded with police, accompanied
the department in hopes of appre-
hending the culprit.
No sooner had the apparatus
started back for the station than
another alarm came from the HolZ-
man Liquor Co. on the railroad a
few blocks from the scene of the
first. The department went there
only to find that the alarm was
false. The third needless run was
made up Cannon hill on Fifth av.
If the culprits are apprehended the
fun" they had will come high,
says chief Rice.

wards will stand for it claiming
that it's presence keeps down the

John A. Finch, the mining man,

to keep its heating plant. This
offer will be considered later on.
John Lang offers to negotiate
ground northwest of Fort Wright

action and buy it at some late date.
The fourth-warders urged that the
offers be accepted,

M'CLELLAND I'm TROUBLE

Captain ]. G. McClelland, pro-
prietor of Ondawa Inn, and so
called philanthropist, was arrested
last night by Detective Weir and
Patrolman Hogan and lodged in
Jail for the night to compose him.
self after fight with the detective.
1t is said that the philanthropic
captain was either drunk or in q
state of mind bordering on insan-
ity, all Of which the captain denies,
although he made no attempt to
explain his conduct. He started
the trouble by insisting on accom-
panying the officers, who were
about to go into the Pioneer lodg-
ing house. They did not desire his
company and told him so.
When McClelland tried to force
his company upon the officers
Weir took him by the shoulder and
demonstrated the doughty cap
tain's undesirability. This en-
furiated McClelland, who grappled
with the detective. The fight was
interrupted by Hogan.
Then the captain, belligerent
and frothing at the mouth, was led
to Jail. He asked for bail but was
refused, Captain Coverly saying
that in his state of mind he might
do serious damage to someone.
So the captain was compelled to
lay all night In a prison hammock.
He appeared much refreshed this
morning and asked for Chief Rice.
He was taken to the chiefs private
office and there met Mayor Moore,
who administered reprimand.
Then the captain was released on
his own recognizance and told to
appear in court.
McClelland has been more or less
of a nuisance around the police sta
tion for a long time. He was or
dered to stay away by Chief Waller
but evidently thinks he is now
privileged to do as he pleases. Few
Of the officers have any use for him,
as he is meddlesome and eccentric.

Never in the history Of Spokane
has labor been in such demand as
at present. 1t is almost impossible
to secure any kind Of help and the
need of skilled mechanics In the
building trades was never so great.
The scarcity Of labor can be ex-
planned only by the great prosperity
now existing throughout the coun-
try and the fact that labor Is as
we'll paid in eastern cities and In
some cases better than right here
in Spokane.
For many years Minneapolis was
spoken of as being about the cheap
est city in the west from wage
standpoint. but 1t is fact that the
building trades In the Twin cities
are now receiving as good wages as
are the building trades in cities
further west. The result Of the
increase Of wages in the east has
checked emigration to the far west,
resulting in almost famine in the
labor markets of western cities.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 30.--It
is persistently reported that
Schmitz last night appointed Is
men to take the place Of supervis-
ors who resigned. The county clerk
is said to have sworn these men in
secretly, but he denies 1t. Schmitz
threatened this action some weeks
ago.
II the report is true the existence
of sets of supervisors will cause
hopeless tangle. Two of the old
board who were permitted to re-
tain their seats announced their in
tention not to sit with the board
named by Taylor.
The report spread like wildfire
and others soon followed, one be-
ing to the effect that Schmitz's
board attempted to seize the coun-
Gil chambers, aided by Chief Of Po-
lice Oman, who refuses to recog-
nize Taylor as mayor.
Oman and Police Commissioner
Hagerty held a secret conference
early this afternoon, supposedly for
the purpose of making police ar
rangements. Langdon hurried to
the hall Of justice, where the board
of supervisors holds its meetings,
to await developments.
Late this afternoon Schmitz con-
firmed the report that he had APP
pointed second set of supervisors.

LEFT IN JAIL

BOISE, July 30.--Moyer is jubi-
liant today over his release from
prison on bond, and his attorneys
say he will never be called to trial.
Orchards story is the only evil
dence against him. During the
Cripple Creek trouble Meyer was
in jail and could have had no part
in them. He said today:
"You may tell the readers of the
United Press l am grateful to the
friends who have encouraged and
assisted me and my associates in
combating the charges against us.
am going to return to Denver.
"Pettibone will also be acquitted
if they ever dare try him."
Pettibone was brought into
court at 10 o'clock and formal mo-
ton made for his admission to bail
Judge Wood denied the request and
there was no argument. PettibOne
had little hopes of securing favor
able action on the motion and was
not surprised. On Darrow's mo-
ton for an early trial of Pettibone

Meyers bond of $4,000, furnish
ed by the miners unions, was back
ed up by a guarantee of a 100000
cash personal bond offered by Tim
othy Regan, a resident property
owner.
Haywood expects to rest at the
cottage where he joined his fam
lily until Thursday, when he will
leave for Denver. Meyer and Mrs.
Meyer will probably travel with
the Haywood family. This will
leave only Pettibone and his wife
in Idaho of the families that have
occupied so much public attention
in the past few months.
AS the time for his trial is short
Pettibone will probably be kept in
the cell he now occupies until cali
ed into court The attorneys for
the defense have no doubt of being
able to clear him. He was not a
member of the federation.

Cured.
Draper saw him about Z o'clock
IN the Fountain saloon, corner of
Monroe st. and Sprague av. AS
soon as Downer saw Draper he
went out the front door and on the
way was joined by Meeker. The
men ran through alleys until they
reach First av., then went into the
Gambrinus' saloon, where they were
captured. Downer gives as the ex-
cuse for his conduct that he knew

SALOON FIGHT ON TONIGHT

number of 1900 have petitioned the
council against granting the Ii
cense. The business men along
the avenue are divided on the
question, but the residents are
clearly against the saloon.
Yesterday afternoon William
Ganninger applied for a license at
E140S Sprague av., just block
closer to town than the other ap-
plication. This matter Will not be
considered until the finance COM
mittee meets next Monday after
noon. However, if the council takes
adverse action on the Kronenberg
application Ganninger will probably
withdraw his.
The action of second saloon
man in attempting to crowd in
while the first application is under
fire seems to indicate an under
standing that the council intends
to grant the license notwithstand-
ing the strenuous opposition to it.
The brewery interests have been
hard at work in an effort to make
an opening in Union park, and un-
less the complexion Of the council
has undergone an alteration OF
some magnitude the breweries are
likely to win out.
