LOCAL BANK OFFICIALS IDEN-
TIFY MONEY FOUND ON
THEM AS THAT TAKEN
FROM G. N. EXPRESS CAR
LAST MONTH.

There is not the slightest doubt
but what we have captured the
right men," stated Chief of Police
Rice today regarding the arrest
last night of c. Mcdonald and Ed
Smith, who were taken into Gus
tody early last night by Sergeant
McPhee, Detectives Briley, Nc
Donald, Ryan and Enright, on the
Great Northern westbound passen-
ger train as they sat at dinner in
the diner en- route through to Sc
attic.
Officials of the Old National
bank of this city, to which the
stolen $4,000 from the Commercial
National bank of Chicago was con-
signed, have positively identified
the packages as that usually sent
out by that bank. 1t is in bills of
denominations ranging from S. to
500 and is mostly United States
money. Each package was wrapped
and sealed. The dates on them
were Sept 6, 1907, and each pack
age as 1t was counted and wrapped
was countersigned by the receiver,
who endorsed IS" on each
wrapper.
The men made no resistance and
were unarmed when captured. The
first word received regarding the
suspected men came late yesterday
afternoon when the chief received
a telegram from Tom Riley, a bar
tender in the dancehall at Boomers
Ferry, Idaho, that two suspicious
looking men were spending money
like water. exhibiting packages of
money and were to take Jesse
Howe and Riley out for O. good
time"
Both Riley and Howe suspected
the men of holding up the G. N.
train at Rondo, Mont, Sept. IL. and
determined to accept the invitation
to accompany them on the chance
of sharing in the reward of $4,000.
First Riley wired his suspicious.
The four men were sitting at a
table when the officers boarded the
train at Hillyard and just after the
city limits were entered the cap
ture was made at the point of the
officers revolvers.
Neither captive will talk and
Chief Rice has given orders that
no one shall see them, not even an
attorney, until the police are
through with their Investigations.
The men deny the robbery and
claim they had sold a claim at
Butte, the name of which is not
given.
The money they had with them
totals s14,375. This morning the
chief took it to the Union Trust
Co. and had 1t counted by the
bankers. Then it was locked up
Every effort will be made to Sc
cure a confession. 1t is believed
generally by the police that the
robbers hid near Boomers Ferry,
where the country is wild, until
Thursday, when they decided things
were quiet enough and the hunt had
ceased so they could make their
escape.
The story of their capture is told
by Tom Riley, whose wife assists
him in the management of the
dancehall. This place is notorious
and many characters who stop at
Boomers Ferry visit it. The sight
of man spending hundreds of dol
lars causes no excitement as rule,
but these men both exhibited pack
ages of money. They associated
with the women and attracted the
attention of Mrs. Riley. She was
told of her husbands suspicious

HARR|mAN'S

NEW YORK, Oct. Pc H. Har-

which broke down, is again work
ing, and after it has been allowed
to run a few days Prof. Elton Full
mer will be asked to make the test
which Thursday he refused to make
on account of the unclean condi-
ton of the well.
DR.. Grieve pointed out that the
| river is even now in bad condition
for drinking purposes and this con-
dition will be made tenfold worse
If the city is not prepared to OBJ
tain water elsewhere. Physicians
generally agree that to attempt to
use the rived water here after the
sewer is put in operation would be
the worst thing that could happen
: to this city from a health stand
point. The distance from Occur
d'Alene to Spokane is far too short
to permit possibility of the water
purifying itself to any beneficial
degree.
Unless Spokane is able to secure
| water from the underground source
now being experimental with, the
only means of safeguarding public
health will be to induce Occur
d'Alene authorities to postpone use
Of their sewer system until sanitary
| arrangement can be made here.
Spokane has had ample warning,
however. and the present danger
Is purely the result of official
negligence, for which city officials,
with the exception of the board Of
health, are clearly responsible. The
board has done everything in it's
power to hasten the procuring of a
pure water supply, but it has en-
cOuntered numerous obstacles,
chief among them being the unac-
countable lack of interest in the
matter displayed by City Commits
sioner Roy. who is supposed to
have charge of the water system
and to whom was entrusted the re-
sponsibility of aiding the board in
every way possible.
In this connection 1t will be re-
called that the Spokesman-Review
has belittled the movement to pro-
tect the city from bad water in ev-
CT way pooolDIC. WI MILL III Vic
terests of costly filtration plant
that is out of the question for other
reasons aside from the sufficient
| one of the enormous expense such
a plant would entail.
If Mr.. Roy can manage to keep
the pump going for few days it
will be possible to make a chemical
hot lA of
the purity of the water. The
health board has no doubt Of this
purity, but desires to be scientifical-
ly certain. Prof. Burr has pro-
nOunced the location of the well
ideal for an underground water
supply and his opinion is based on
experience and learning that quail
fled him as consulting engineer on
the New York public water pro-
ject, the greatest undertaking of
the kind in the world.
The question is one that should
arouse the energetic cooperation of
the city council and result in stern
requirement that the most effec-
tive measures possible be carried
out with the least delay. Otherwise
Spokane will be left to the mercy
of typhoid and all other diseases
resulting from use of impure water.
The city has paid for first class
water system and failure of officials
to provide 1t under the presen
threatening circumstances would
be serious enough to be classed
under the head of criminal liability.

Eleeting 0. S. Senators.

The United States Senate is the
great Obstacle in the way of elect.
ing Senators by popular vote Five
times the House of Represents
tives has passed the necessary reso.
luton preliminary to making the
change, and five times the Senate
has voted it down. But the SEN
ate is not absolute master of the
situation. A serious and powerful
movement is now under way to
come at the reform from the other
end. That will require the request
of thirty-one Legislatures. Thirty
two have at one time or another
asked it before, but the present
attempt is the first concerted action
that has been taken. Already sew.
eral states have practically adopted
the direct election plan, and in
others the voters have tried to tell
the legislators whom to select,
though not always with success
1t is probable that direct election
of Senators is one of the reforms
which the near future will see
accomplished.
