Then the municipality stepped in,
So long as the Petersons had simply
starved, it had paid no attention. But
Peterson had cremated a body with
out first having obtained a permit
from the board of health. He was ar
rested tried, fined $25, and sent to the
bridewell. Pitiable as was his plight,
was far better off than his family. He
food and drink and fire; the wife and
child remained in their squalid room
with none OF these. But the law had its
course.
Some way the story of the Petersous
became known and a messenger of
mercy and justice fastened to Mayor
Dunno. That executive promptly real
lied that the need was %clemency. Pc
terson was ~pardoned inside Of an hour
and within a few hours after the story
was printed in the newspapers the con-
tributions began to flow in. Mayor
Dunno contributed $40. Others gavS
according to their means. The first
thing Mrs. Peterson did was to pay a
Doctors bill of $15, then to buy coal
and provisions, then to pay $4.25 long
past due on a time installMent clock.
The Petersons still live in the same
old, squalid quarters, but they have
been transported to a new world. They
are out of debt, the next meal is ar
ranged for. .
This is the story in it's barest out
lines. Balzac or Zolo never wrote any
realistic vignette that clutches more
tightly at the heart chords. Truth al
ways surpasses fiction.

Carmen EXPLAIN
WAGE CLAIM

Alleged statistics were printed in
the morning paper to prove that
the men in the employ of the w. w.
P. Co. are the best paid streetcar
men outside Butte and that the
only reason the men in Buttee were
paid more wages is on account of
the great cost of living in the big
mining camp. 1t was also stated
that the fare paid on many of the
lines" in Butte is 10 cents.
The facts in regard to Butte are
that the cost of living is less in
that city than in Spokane and you
can ride anywhere inside the city
limits for cents. Union men in
this city have statements sworn to
by Butte merchants to prove the
above claims. The wages paid in
Butte to conductors and motormen
is 35 cents per hour as against 20
cents here. 1t is also claimed that
the business done by the Butte
company is small as compared with
Spokane.
In regard to wages in this city
being better than in st. Paul and
Minneapolis the men in the employ
of the local monopoly say that 20
cents per hour in the Twin Cities is
much better pay than 20 cents or
even more here.

NEW LINE OPEN
FEB, |

After a trial trip over the Spo-
kane & Inland extension to Rosalia
yesterday, General Manager Inger-
soil announced that passenger and
freight service would be inaugur-
ated from Spokane to Rosalia over
the western division Feb. l. Three
through trains will be run each way
daily, with a fourth between this
city and Waverly. The company
has laid steel several miles beyond
Rosalia and will build on toward
Colfax as rapidly as weather condi-
tons permit.
Theh trial trip party yesterday
included President j. P. Graves,
Vice President F. l.. Clark and Gen.
eral Manager Ingersoll, with Clyde
NJ. Graves, general manager of the
city lines, and others interested.
The Rosalia line will serve 40 sta
tons. The distance covered is 46
miles and the company expects to
lower the schedule to less than
two hours when the roadbed is
worked down into better shape.

were so far removed from each 9th
err as to prevent the application of
the rule. Therefore, he says, the
employer should not be liable in
any case.
He could just as we'll have said
and it would have worked out
greater practical justice-that since
the two classes cannot be separat-
ed, the employer should be liable in
any case of injury through negli-
gence of a fellow workman, for it is
undoubtedly true that the cases in
which the workman is injured
through the negligence of a fellow
workman whom he has never seen
and of whose existence he was not
aware, greatly outnumber those
cases in which the workman injured
was able to observe the conduct of
the workman who caused the in
jury. Assuming that the employer
should not be liable in the latter
case, still the rule that he should
be liable in all cases would not
work injustice as often as it does in
its present form, that he is not IL

PORTLAND, Jan. 2S.-Elbert
Oleman, aged 10, who, because his
foster mother spanked him, shot
and instantly killed her while she
sat sewing, sits unconcernedly in
the county jail here, showing no
emotion, particular regret or fear
of the consequence of his crime.
On the evening of the crime.
while the head of the Ayres home
was absent in the hills, it became
the duty of the boy to attend to
certain chores. He did the work
unwillingly and in an unsatisfactory
manner. Mrs. Ayres scolded him
for this, and when he answered her
insOlently she spanked him and
sent him upstairs to bed. Instead
of undressing, he stole downstairs
again, after taking off his shoes,
seized a rifle from its rack in the
hall, and, as Mrs. Ayres sat sewing
in the adjoining room by the light
of a lamp, fired at her, the bullet
striking her in the back. She fell
to the floor, without outcry, and the
boy dropped the gun and ran tosthe
nearest neighbours home, where he
said his mother had been shot, and

able in any case. The option to
the workman to give up his job
is no remedy at ALL as we all know
Then, further, whenever a work
man is injured it usually means
that the support of the family is cut
off, and that means want and priva-
ton unless some other provision is
made for the support of his family
during his incapacity.
Now, although this is not an ar
gument in favor Of liability on the
part of the employer, still it is a
strong reason against cutting off
liability in case where the work
man has no knowledge of the other
workmen, simply because in some
other cases it might be difficult to
determine whether the injured
workman had means of learning
whether the negligent workman
was or was not competent. 1t seems
that the inclination to limit liabil-
ity, which is SO common In judges,
was allowed in this instance to out
weigh reason and justice.
Whether or not the rule as laid

POLICE DOUBT
HOLDUP STORY

The police disbelieve E. Wises
story of being held up at 450
O'Clock this morning. They want
to know what he was doing on the
streets at that hour and a whole
lot of other things. Wise lives at
1920 CORTLAND av. and yesterday
told the police that two men, one
armed with six-shooters, held him
up at the corner of North Monroe
st. and Bridge av. He said they
took $40 from him. Ten minutes
from the time Rose reported his
holdup Patrolman Willis called up
from the police box at the point
where the holdup is alleged to have
occurred. Willis was told about
the report. He replied that he had
been in that vicinity for an hour
and hadn't met anyone at all, much
less any suspicious characters of
the description given by Wise.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1907-01-28

that, hearing the noise, he had run
downstairs and had seen a man
running away by the barn.
No footprints were found to up
hold his story, and when he was
ordered to confess what had actual
ly happened, the boy cody told the
truth.
She hit me and it made me
mad" he said. 81 don't think |
meant to hurt her until | had Slip
ped down the stairs, and then all of
a sudden | saw the gun and | took
it down, and the next thing I knew
just shot her dead. That's all
there is to it.
This story the boy still tells,
through the bars, to anyone who
questions him, and in the telling
shows no more concern or emotion
than if he were mentioning a game
of marbles which he had PLAYED.
He is remarkably bright little fell
low with a pretty face. But there
seems to be something-an occa-
sional stealthy shift of the eye and
in his great, protruding ears-that
battles criminologists in the North
west.

which damages to the amount of

The board of public works has
had three public weighing scales in
the city yards on Sinto av. for some
time but is waiting until the
weather warns up to install them.
The frozen ground makes it diff
cult to put the scales in place and
adjust them. Work will begin to-
morrow on one at the corner of
Pine st. and Sprague av. A charge
OF 10 cents will be made on every
thing weighed. The city takes half
the fee and the man in charge the
other half.
The completion of this scale will
stop the robbery of the public by a
few coal companies alleged to have
been selling under weight. 1t may
take two weeks to complete the
first installation. Arrangements
have not yet been made for a man
to take charge of the weighing, but
the job will likely go to one of the
stores in the vicinity.

The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1907-01-28

down is just, it mas been followed
in every state. A workman while
employed cleaning cars for a rail-
road is injured through the negli-
gence of train crew of a special Of
the company for which he is work
ing. He cannot recover, for they
may never have seen or heard of
them but if the special happens to
be that of another railroad, he can
recover.
The injustice of this rule, was
soon apparent, and in 1880 the Eng
llsh parliament passed an act per-
hitting the injured workman to re-
cover; CD If the injury was caused
by defect in machinery, notwith-
standing the fact that the defect
may have been the result of negli-
gence CT a fellow workman; ca if
tie injury was caused by the negli-
gence Of a workman who had SUI
pervision and direction of the work,
and to whom the injured workman
owed obedience; or CD if the in
juries were caused by one in charge
of switch, engine or train.
A few years later the legislatures
of some of the states began to take
UP the matter. In 1898 Colorado
passed an act very similar to the
English act; in 1896 Alabama did
the same; in 1902 Massachusetts
and New York passed similar acts.
Colorado, by its act of 1898, having
tasted of the fruit, and found it to
its liking. in 1901 took another bite,
this time swallowing the whole ap-
pie, core and all, providing in sub
stance that the employer shall be
liable for any injury to his work
men, caused either by his own neg
ligence or the negligence of fell
low workman of the injured work
man. Such an act entirely does
away with the so-called fellow SER
want rule" and puts the law where
it should always have been.
President Roosevelt has directed
the attorney general to have APP
pealed the cases decided by Judges
Evans and Mccall. But, without
waiting for results of those pro-
ceedings, the legislatures of all the
states should pass an act similar
to the act of 1901 passed by the
legislature of Colorado. Because,
even if the supreme court reverses
the decisions, the federal act can
not apply to manufacturing and in
dustries generally; the application
of the rule to workmen in factories
is as imperative in one as the 9th
err, and only state enactments can
affect both classes Of cases and
bring relief. JOHN w. WEINIG.
