PARIS REGAINS A NOBLE CITIZEN.
Prince Relie Fails to Obtain Much Notoriety
in Press of Capital.

Paris April 19-Prince Hello de Sagan who ar
rived at CherbOurg and disembarked early this
morning from the steamship St Paul, instead of
coming direct to Paris. left the steamer train at
EvreuX, about sXty-fve miles from this city,
after having requested his fellow passengers not
to mention his plan. At Evreux he resumed his
journey to Paris by automobile.
The prince declined to grant interview to the
newspaper men, who finally discovered bin, and
refused TO answer questions relative to the
ment published in the "C'ri de Paris that he and
Mme. Anna Gould already were married.
The passengers the steamer. with whom the
prince freely talked during the voyage say that
he told them that he regretted he could enter
tain them in Paris, he expected soon to leave
that city, going probably to Italy. Some tce
passengers added that the prince seemed be
devoted TO n young English girl throughout the
voyage.
The French newspapers generally ignore the de
Sagan- Gould affair except where they ridicule
the prince recount Of his reported interviews
and his conduct in the United States. and express
the hope that the international farce will soon
be ended.

BOIL the WATER
IF IT'S TOO HARD

If the city water Is hard boil it.
If that doesn't do the business put
in some sal-soda. This is pre-
scription from DR.. Grieve, city
health officer. The city water, he
explains, is the temporary hard
kind only. The lrand of permanent
hardness is more difficult matter
to deal with. There has been some
complaint from the washer-lady on
the water but nothing serious.
The we'll is holding at an exact
level in spite of the heavy drain Of
the warm weather. 1t has not been
closed at the top yet, as the depart
ment wants to be sure the supply
Is sufficient before walling it up.
A decrease will mean only that the
gallery will have to be extended a
bit. There is no limit to the amount
of water in the ground. A tempo
rary covering will be put over the
well.

CANDIDA TIES TAKE CHANCES

There is not apt to be an unseen
ly scramble for first place in filing
declarations of candidacy on July
10 In Spokane county. Auditor
Green is against anything of the
sort and Spokane candidates are
not built that way. In this they are
in marked contrast to King county
and other barbarian regions else
where in the state. The plan here
is to round up the bunch OF candi-
dates and each draw lots for place.
The deal will lie arranged shortly
and settled before the date of filing.
The theory behind the rush for
first place or thereaobuts Is that
the voter is apt to cast his ballot
for the first name that catches his
eye. The names go on the ticket in
the order filed. That is the sort of
compliment to the voter that ought
to be sufficient to defeat any man
possessed of such notion.
The matter of precedence Of can
didates was not discussed when the
direct primary ill was before the
legislature except to suggest that
the names be alphabetically ar
ranged. But those far down in the
alphabet demurred and the matter
was left In the air.
State Senator Rosenhaupt said to-
day:
"You can just bet that this thing
will be settled next session and it
wont be up to the state secretary
or any county uditor, either"

INTENDED
VICTIM OF DEADLY BOMB

Mrs. Pine was again closeted
with Chief Rice and Detective Nc
Dermott this morning and repeated
her story that she had been a for
mer companion of Domono and two
months ago married Pine, since
which time her old lover has re-
peatedly threatened her. Indica-
lions are that the bomb was of like
construction to the bombs used in
anarchist outrages. Pieces of scrap
iron, burrs and bolts were picked up
around the premises and particles
of tin were found imbedded in the
woodwork. 1t is presumed the bomb
was made of bolts and scrap iron
and wrapped in tin so as to resem-
BILE an innocent-looking can not I'M
usual for a man to carry.
This morning 1t was ascertained
that on Friday afternoon DomOno
went to the Pine home and finding
no one there went next door to Mrs.
EJohnson's. He inquired of Mrs.
Johnson for Mrs. Pine. He was
wild looking. Mrs. Johnson was
frightened and said she had not
seen Mrs. Pine for week.
Domono went to the Pine resi-.
dence again, it is alleged, then back
to Mrs. Johnson's once more. When
he left finally he declared:
Marie (meaning Mrs. Pino) l
kjlla herr"
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1908-07-06
Marie! | killa her!"

Marie! / killa her!"
These words form the principal
thread of evidence gathered by De-
tective McDermott today against
James Demono, who is in solitary
confinement in the city Jail on a
charge of attempting to murder Mr..
and Mrs. Alphonso Pine by throw
ing bomb onto the doorstep OF
their home at 01917 Division ST.
about o'clock Saturday morning.
The name was originally given as
De Mott in the official report.
Information which leads the po-
lice to believe DomonO has a pre-
vious police record and is denger-
GUS bombmaker was given this
morning by several Italians.
The claim is made that Domono
has been a bombmaker for years
and is skilled in the manufacture
of destructive missiles. Another in
formant says Domono constantly
goes heavily armed with a revolver
and knife for no apparent reason,
and it has been the belief among
Italians that he belongs to the MUIR
derous Black Hand society.
Ordinarily the police would have
fiiven little credence to these re
ports. But Saturday morning the
Pine home was the scene of bomb
explosion which nearly killed Mrs.
Pine and partly wrecked the house.

IN
WATER FIGHT.

Judge KEENAN, this morning de-
cided the case OF Twitchell VS.. the
city in favor of the city. Twitchell
brought suit to prohibit the city
from diverting from the water re-
ceipts to pay for other city ex-
penses. The courts opinion was
short and in effect that the city had
the right to exact a water rent and
to use the money so raised for any
municipal purpose.
w. s. Lewis, attorney for witch
ell, says the case will be appealed.
The complaint sets forth that rates
are made exorbitant and extensions
impossible by diverting the water
fund to general uses.
