DR.. c. V. Genoway, head of the
health department, said today that
he would instruct his inspectors to
board street cars and arrest and
prosecute anyone caught expec-
torating on the floors. The city i'm
poses a fine of $40 for expectorat-
ing on sidewalks or floors in any
public building or conveyance
These orders are the direct result
of complaint to the health depart
ment about train No. IA on the
Washington Water Power Co.'S
line between here and Medical
Lake.
The matter was called to the
health departments attention by
The Press in behalf of residents
along the line. The steps of the
car complained of had become so
foul with tobacco juice that women
who boarded it could not avoid
soiling their dresses, and the con-
ductor apparently considered this
a very humorous proceeding. He
made no attempt to enforce the no.
tice posted up in his car.

SAY MURPHEY
QUEERED EN-

Some local republicans are sore
about something today. They say
Alonzo NJ. Murphey simply sug-
gested last night in his Civic club
speech that the churchs join with
the saloons so as to elect him. They
say it was political suicide for Muir
phey and maybe hoodoo for the
whole party. That makes Muir
phey smile.
A hot time is already brewing in
the Fourth ward, which is now rep
resented in the city council by
Nick Laumer, democrat. and Will
liam Horn, republican. Laumer is
said to be shy of taking the job
again. Horr. however, likes it.
Horr will be opposed for the place
by w. F. Wood, j. w. Macarthur
and other ambitious republicans.

RAILROADS IN
MORE TROUBLE

All trains on the main line of the
o. r. & n. are this morning an
nulled as the result of Monday
nights Chinook wind and yester-
days rising temperature. The
greatest trouble is reported in
Hays canyon. Pendleton is entire
ly cut off from traffic and many of
the streets are under water. The
Umatilla river has swollen till it is
nearly as high as it was at any time
last week, when it reached the
high water mark. All the new
roadbed of the 0. r. & n. at
Havana has been destroyed by the
overflow of Wild Horse creek.
No traffic on the Northern Paci-
fic can proceed further west on the
main line than Ritzville, as a
washout has occurred near that
place. Trains from this line are
being run over the Great Northern
line west today. No washouts are
yet reported on the Great Northern
today. No. l from the east is seven
hours late, while trains coming in
from the west are only about an
hour behind time. Heavy trains of
freight have been pulled over this
road for the past few days, and 1t
Is reported that nearly all that had
been delayed have been released.

Col. ]. M. Firch followed with a

candidate that would separate the
vicious element from participation
In city government. He criticised
the present administration severely

home. Col. Firch favored working

porting an independent ticket.
w. w. Tolman, democrat. urged
the club to become a special inter-
est in support of good government
as the w. w. p. Co. and other cor
porations constitute special inter-
ests' political enterprises. Corpor-
ate influences, he said, are at the
bottom of all the trouble In govern
affairs today and are permitted to
remain so because Of the indiffer-
ence of the people. He argued for
the election of men who will make
the welfare Of the public their spe-
cial interest as opposed to officials
who place the interests of their
private employers before all else.

FORGOT ABOUT
Arbitration

The arbitration proposition to

posed of, President Funk, who is a
member Of the Carpenters union

port the resolution, moved an ad
journment. The only members vot
ing against adjournment were Pratt

ton. 1t is presumed that his

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Jerome
today resumed the cross eXamina-
tion of Evelyn Thaw. 1t is evident
ly his intention to try to impeach
her evidence in many particulars,
especially as to the scenes she de-
scribed between White and herself
Today h endeavored to entrap her
on numerous statements as to her
past life, but in each case the wit
ness foiled his efforts. explaining
away any seeming discrepancies.
She was extremely nervous. how
ever, all through the ordeal.
Prompting himself from state
ments by Evelyn's mother, which
he held in his hand, Jerome then
closely questioned the witness on
her acquaintance with James A.
Garland, who got a divorce several
tmonths before the witness met
White. She admitted that she and
her mother had spent many Sun
days on Garland's private yacht.
In speaking of her mother the
witness said they had always been
pleasant until they had quarrel.
In reply to a question she said in
a startled manner that she had no
reason to believe her mother would
sacrifice her for money. She
thought if she was the victim of
her mothers indiscretion it was a
matter of misuidgment.
The first tangible evidence that
Howard Nesbit Is assisting the
prosecution came out next. Jerome
reverted to the time Evelyn was a
member OF the Florodora company
and presented a letter asking Eve
Ign If she could identify it as her
brothers handwriting She did so
and Jerome suddenly asked an adj
journment until afternoon.
In the course of the examination
Jerome showed Evelyn series Of
checks supposed to have been paid
by White to her when she was out
of employment. The supposed in

$25 weekly. She identified en-
dorsements on seven as her own
and five her mothers signatures.
AS Evelyn left the stand she re-
ceived a note of approval from her
husband that made her smile and
almost skip from the room.
1t is reported that Jerome has
something to spring tomorrow that
will put very different aspect on
the case from the states stand

SKIM LARD OFF

Samples of sausage which refuse

ed to see the meat curl up and get
spongey and tough like sole leath-
er. The samples were given to In

ance of State Chemist Fulmer, at

unique explanation: There Is no
grease in the sausage for the rea-

The Civic Improvement club
banquet at All Saints cathedral last
night brought out several individ-

M. Murphey aroused considerable
interest by going at length into the
proper qualifications of a mayor,
and tacitly announcing himself a
candidate on the republican ticket,
subject to that party's approval.
His idea Of the right kind OF ad-
ministration is a course laid out to
suit, as far as possible, all factions,
in line with the trend of the gener-
al public's idea of law enforcement.
He was against church, union
labor, open town ticket, or any spe-
cial interest arrayed in the field
with an issue. AS Murphey outlined
1t, he favored a plan upon which ev-
cry interest could be reconciled and
the principles of good government
conserved at the same time. He
also pointed out that good govern
ment forces could control conven-
tions Of any party II they would
only work and vote to that end. He
opposed a third ticket as a means
of re-electing Mayor Daggett. The
