Arrest of Socialist Speaker at Spo
skane, Wash.

Arrest of Socialist Speaker at Spo-
skane, Wash.
One of the widest demonstrations
ever witnessed on the streets of Spo-
kane took place Saturday night about
10 O'clock when a frenzied mob of
over 1000 people surged about the en-
trance to the police station furiously
clamoring for the release of Mrs. Ida
Crouch Hazlett, a socialist orator, who
before by Patrolman Thomas Lister,
under circumstances that tested the
officers nerve to the utmost. Mrs.
Hazlett was charged with violating
the city ordinance which prohibits per-
sons from obstructing sidewalks and
streets, although many socialists who
were present assert that she had a
permit authorizing her to lecture on
the streets.
Lister and the woman were followed
to the station by a bowling mob,
which increased in numbers as the pair
approached the station. Shortly after
they entered the door feeling ran so

mob was intent on storming the 'bas-
tile. Sergeant John Sullivan, with a
squad of patrolmen, quelled the rising
riot and no violence was attempted,
although the rabble continued to cheer
their heroine and denounce the police
in smothered murmurings.
The crowd stood about the entrance
to the station and fire headquarters,
and was strung south On Howard street
as far, as Front avenue and east and
west on that thoroughfare for over 80
yards. The patrol wagon and the fire
apparatus were called out in an effort
to dispense the rabble, but the excited
populace paid no heed. When Mrs.
Hazlett was finally released on fur
nishing a $25 bond. the mob went wild,
as, bareheaded and without a jacket,
she led a triumphal procession up
Howard street to her quarters at the
Central lodging house, between River.
side and Sprague avenues, on Howard
street.

Francisco-Loss viii Amount 10
$50, ooo-over Half Insured.

San Francisco, Sept. S.-The ia.
nous Cliff House of this city, San
Francisco's first attraction for tourists
was burned to the ground Saturday
evening. Fire broke out in the build.
ing about /4:45 o'clock, and an hour
later blackened heap of ruins was all
that remained of the historic struc-
ture. The house was built of wood
and famed by the lively ocean breezes
the flames made such headway be-
fore the nearest fire company arrived
that it was realized that the place was
doomed, and more attention was paid
to saving adjoining property than to
the burning building.
The Cliff House had been closed for
some time, as the new lessee. John,
TAFT, was remodeling the interior
Workmen were about the place until
noon, and then departed for the day.
How the fire started is mystey.
This was the second Cliff House to
be destroyed by fire. The building
which was burned today was erected
by Adolph Sutro, of Sutro tunnel fame
30 years ago. 1t was owned by the
Sutro estate and was valued at $50 900.
TAFT estimates his loss at $4,000. on
which there is $4,000 insurance.
The Cliff House was ranked as one
of the best known resorts of America.
Located on rocky promontary beyond
the Golden Gate, directly above the
lashing waves of the Pacific ocean. and
affording a close view OF the seals dis
porting on the rocks near shore, it was
a strong attraction for visitors, and
from its broad porches hundreds of
thousands of people obtained their first
view of the mighty waters. The mag.
nificent Sutro baths near by were not
damaged.
The house has stood for years as one
of the monuments to the late Adolph
Sutro, once mayor of San Francisco
popular more because of his enterprise
in providing pleasure for San Fran
ciscanS and pretty scenes for the visit
ing tourist than for any other reason
The visitor to San Francisco who fail
ed to see the Cliff House, it was always
regarded, had seen but little of the
beauties of the city by the Golden Gate
This resort with the bathhouse and
museum and other architectural adorn-
ments Of Sutro Heights, ranked as the
first attraction Of San Fancisco.
For years the only means of reach
ing Point Lobos, on which Sutro chose
to make the premier beauty spot of the
western coast, drawing the attention
of visitors from every corner Of the
world was by novel looking dummy
engine which drew two small passen-
ger coaches. The travel became so
heavy finally that Sutro constructed
his own trolley line from the city, one
Of the first. if not the first, overhead
trolleys ever put in operation in San
Francisco.
The Cliff House was the first view
of land that greeted the incoming ship
from the Orient, being visible for miles
at sea.
