KIDS MISTAKE FLAG DAYFoR FOURTH

Flag Day is being generally OBJ
served all over the city. Schools
and public buildings are flying the
Stars and Stripes and many of the
business houses are observing the
day with decorations in red, white
and blue bunting and flags.
AS usual, the small boy and his
firecrackers are the most faithful
observers. He got up early with
the notion that a regular Fourth of
July program was the proper thing.
Hundreds of boys prepared them
selves last night with noise-makers,
and at an early hour the slumbers
of the lazy bones were rudely dis
turbed. The telephone at police
headquarters echoed with com
plants of the irate.
AS soon as Chief Rice reached the
station he Immediately ordered the
day shift to arrest offenders against
the quietude of the town. The first
offense was to result In reprimand,
the second, arrest But not an ar
rest was made. There were all
kinds of reprimands and lots Of ef-
forts at arrest, but in each instance
the small boy proved too feet for
the blue-coated pursuers.

FEDERAL UNIONS AGREE

The controversy between the 2
federal unions over enforcement of
the new common labor wage scale
of $2.75 per day was practically

A dangerous w. w. P. mantrap
was revealed at 6:10 o'clock
Wednesday night at the corner of
Riverside av. and Post St, when
William N Day, manager of the Pa
cific Life Insurance Co., was
crushed between 2 Washington
Water Power street cars and almost
killed.
A south bound car had just turned
onto Riverside off Post, and as Mr..
Day stepped ahead Of 1t to cross the
street. a northbound car began to
make the turn onto Post. This
swung the rear of the car against
Day, who was crushed against the
northbound. Not even small man,
much less a large man like Mr.. Day,
could have escaped, on account Of
the narrow space between the 2
tracks.
Day shouted to the carmen when
h eesaw his danger, but before the
N0torman stopped he was rolled al
most from one end of the cars to
the other. His body was so badly
squeezed that when released he fell
in dead faint. DR.. F. p. Witter.
company physician. and also coro-
ner, was called and had Day re-
moved to his Office in the Traders
bank building, where he worked
over him until an ambulance ar
rived. Then Day was removed to
his home at 2012 Pacific av.
Owing to the congested traffic at
that corner, and the danger of be-
ing run over by street cars, Chief
Rice his detailed Patrolman II. c.
Rolf to keep people out Of the way
of the cars.
Since the Monroe st. bridge was
closed to street cars, the w. w. p.
his been running all It's cars over
Post st. This makes additional traf-
fic at the corner of Riverside and
Post, which now is one of the most
dangerous centers in the city.
Street car men say they have had
instructions, since the accident on
Wednesday night, to take particu-
lar care to see that they have a
clear track before getting in mo-
ton.
When these curves were built
they were put in at much sharper
angle than there was any need OF.
II extended somewhat, the tracks at
this point would be far enough apart
so that in case person was caught
between 2 cars he might escape by
standing still. AS 1t Is now, there
Is no possibility Of escaping dan
gerous squeeze II caught as Mr..
Day was.

sion this afternoon, officially &C.
cepted the 10000 clubs census of
Spokane, which set it at 77,707. 1t

pay for postmen, and as Spokane is
shown to have more than $4,000 peo-
pie, $3.50 year will be added to
the wages of each of the 40 post
men. The census, sealed and au-
thorized by the council as official,
will be sent to the secretary OF
state, who will send it to Wash
ington. A special meeting of the
