MAN AND WOMAN
BOTH IN JAIL

A family squabble between Mr..
and Mrs. Herman Lanphere has
landed both in custody, she in the
county and he in the city Jail. Last
night Mrs. Lanphere drew a gun
on her husband when he came out
of the courthouse, where he and
Probation Officer Lee had taken
her two children. The trouble
started IS months ago, when Mrs:
Lanphere swore out a warrant for
her husbands arrest on a charge
of disorderly conduct. The police
never apprehended him. He went
to Tacoma. In the meantime she
secured divorce, although not le-
gally welded, and the custody Of
the two children. The pair were
never married, but had lived to-
gether for more than nine years.
Bystanders notified Sheriff
Doak when Mrs. Lanphere pulled
the gun and he took both of them
to jail. This morning Lanphere
was served with the old warrant
and taken to the city Jail. The
woman was trying to arrest him
on this charge, since the police
seemed unable to do so.

Women and children in Lidgerwood addition are today
actually suffering for water.
The supply failed out there early and there not
tho day.
City hall officials promise relief for three four
days The shortage is caused by breakdown at the pump
g station that has put all but two pumps out of
mission
The breakdown was caused by inadequate foundation
mat has settled allowing the pumps to sink out of place
Either the plan of the pumping station faulty
the customary skimping material in city work has
been practiced in building the foundation.
The result is water famine that is likely to reach
appalling proportions before the damage is repaired
The southern part of town is supplied from the stand
pipe but the two pumps at work will scarcely be able to
keep it filled.
All street of water and park sprnkling has been
stopped and the water department that private lawn
sprnkling be abolished until the pumps started again
Extraordinary should be taken with fire also as
it would be extremely difficult and perhaps impossible to
successfully combat conagration under existing cond
tons.
The faulty foundation of the pump station not dis
covered until the pumps crippled The city may pay
fearful penalty for carelessness permitting such state
of affairs.
How the dry portions of town to get water enough
to drink is problem the administration makes attempt
to solve.
Late this afternoon the main reservoir and standpipes
were reported empty.
Fire Chief Meyers emphasizes the vital necessity of
guarding against fdre and outstanding every drop of

WETZEL BOUND TO
KNOCK OUT WELLS
AND RUIN CITY SITE

furnished by wells of the sort
which now alone is supplying the
city In the hottest summer for
years.
Mr.. We,zel's idea that raising a
dam and thus increasing the vol
ume and amount Of water pres
sure for the power plant will not
provide more power Is something
new In engineering. 1t prompts
curiosity as to why the w. w. P.
Co. raises its dam when the water
Is low.
1t also prompts curiosity as to
whether Mr.. Wetzel Is not very
much afraid that an adequate
.ower supply for the city might
infringe upon the w. w. P. Co.'S
assumed monopoly Of all the power
of the Spokane river.
Mr.. Wetzels apparent desire to
let the city power site go to waste
also looks very much like a care
fully planned design against the
municipal light plan project He
stated today that there was no
power lOT SuCH purpose ana seems
disposed to see that no provision
is made for securing power for
that purpose by preserving what
the city owns.
The mayors ideas on the city
water supply from wells is shared
by other officials who have knowl-
edge of the matter and by citizens
generally. The we'll water has
proved entirely satisfactory and
what 1t has saved in life and
health In view of the unusually
warm weather of the past month
could scarcely be estimated.
Sewer water Just now would be
something even the most umcom-
promising enemy OF the well sys-
TEN could hardly desire.
But Mr.. Wetzel has decided that
the wells won't do and the city
power site Is worthless, and ap-
pears to believe that is all there
Is to say on the subject.
In view of this peculiar attitude
1t would certainly be interesting
to know whose pull put Mr.. Wet.
eel In Office.
The Spokesmln-Review was his
spOnsOr.

father about it. Both then went
to the house but were informed
that Mrs. McCarty had gone to
Cheney. Then they went to Che
ney, only to find that Mrs. McCarty
had not gone there at all. They
returned to Fish lake again. Dur
ing their absence their house had
been entered, furniture and every
thing, even salt, pepper and new
ly purchased steak, were taken
out.
BY inquiry McCarty learned that
two young men had kept his wife
in a bachelors shack all night and
then brought her to Spokane. He
has followed them here.
Mrs. McCarty is described as a
striking woman with hair so black
and glossy that the contrast with
her light hazel eyes attracts par
ticular attention. She is five feet
five inches tall and weighs 156
pounds. MeCarty's age is so; his
wife is 80. They married in In
diana, and year ago last April
came to this state for Mrs. Nc
Carty's health. The first situation
he found was with County Auditor
Green. Then he went to Fish
lake.

There Is a vast difference be-
tween the estimates of Mayor
Moore and Water Commissioners
Wetzel as to water supply from
the city wells. Both gentlemen
were interviewed this morning and
a comparison of their views shows
that each holds opposite opinions
relative to almost everything con-
nected with the system.
Mr.. Wetzel, who of late has been
industriously booming lake sup
ply and a meter system, declares
that the present wells will furnish
enough water only for about a
year longer ami does not advise
digging more for the reason that
he believes the supply is not
there.
The mayor holds the opinion
that the wells will furnish enough
water for this city for years, and
that by running tunnels from the
present wells the supply can ge
greatly increased
Mr.. Wetzel s:ys he does not be-
lieve that by increasing the
heighth of the dam enough addi-
tional power would he added to
the pumps to supply the city at it's
greatest need.
The mayor says that If the dan.
be raised power enough to run sew
eral more pumps will be made
available.
Mr.. Wetzel srys that the leak.
age from the dam now Is only a
small matter AMI there is no need
Of repairs.
The mayer says the leakage and
consequent loss of power Is con-
siderable and repairs should be un,
dertaken at once.
He adds that this would cost
probably $4,000.
Mr.. Wetzel's ideas on city water
supply, of which he is now sup
posed to be the head, are sufficient
ly ridiculous without comment.
His contention that more wells
do not mean more water Is dis
proved by every we'll irrigation
system put in Up the valley. The
underground supply is unlimited
