OOWNER RUN IN
AS USUAL

Dan DOwncr, suspected safe
blower, is once more in Jail as q
suspect, this time in Everett.
Downer's headquarters are in Spo-
kane, where he Is known as
jovial 1rishman and a happy go
lucky individual generally. He has
probably been jailed as a suspect
ed safeblower a score of times, but
the police have never been able to
get the goods on him. In Everett
his arrest was caused by Detective
Alec Mcdonald and Chester Ed
wards of the Spokane department.
A telegram they sent to local head
quarters contains the information
that Downer was arrested in COM
pany with Fred Torgeson and that
safeblowers' tools and three revolt
vers were taken from them.
The last arrest of Downer was
in this city when Harry Draper Of
bloodhound fame caught him rum
ming through an alley following a
report of a holdup. At that time
the police had description Of
safeblowers who had operated in
the Palouse with considerable sue
cess. Downer's general description
fitted one Of the suspects. The
police kept him in Jail several
days, then released him as they
were unable to secure any evil
dence sufficient to convict. Recent
ly he was arrested in Waterville
and again released.
The police say that Downer is
either the cleverest crook who
ever inhabited this section, or he
is peculiarly unfortunate indi-
vidual.

pUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR ADULTS

The civic bodies of Kansas City
will offer to the Missouri legislature
this winter a bill that will open the
school buildings to proper uses in
TIE way of adult education These
bodies will seek to make some pro-
visions whereby the school buildings
under proper regulation by the
board of education. may be used for
educational lectures and for night
schools where adults may be taught
such subjects as may properly come
cational. At the start, at least, there
Will be no expense to the school dis
trict, whether lectures be given or
night schools be taught by volunteer
teachers or by subscription. The law
will be condensed in very few
words and in the revision the right
to grant the use of school buildings,
subject to proper regulation, can
easily be put under the head of pow
ers of the board.
This opens the way to a similar
movement in other states-a move
ment that ought TO be encouraged
for the benefit of those adults in
every part of the country whose ed
ucation has been neglected. but who
are anxious to learn and who ought
to be encouraged in that direction.
