POLICE ARREST TWO MORE
OPIUM VICTlMS BUT BESOT-

In raid on an opium joint kept
by a Chinaman named "Jim," on
Big sland, yesterday afternoon, Ser

Claude Thompson, locomotive en-
gineer, and Frank Wilson, a clerk.
Both were stupid from the drug. 1t

Percy Fish, travelling man, was
found dead from opium.
The police for some mysterious
reason, seem unable to cope with
the Chinaman. He has been ar
rested and fined many times for
keeping the joint, but he only pays
his fine and goes back again to
fleeing victims of his drug. The
police are, apparently, trying to
suppress the joint by arresting it's
patrons instead of running the be-
sotted chink out of town. Most of
those caught in the place usually
are strangers in the city.

MIKES
WITH SPIRITS
SEEMED TO LIKE 1T TOO TILL
THE GHOST BOSS STOLE HIS
PURSE AND THEN EVERY
BODY WENT TO JAIL.

There were queer things doing at
police headquarters about 8 o'clock
this morning. Everybody felt
creepy. They have an alleged spir-
itualist in jail. Also a Swede The
spiritualist is woman who holds
out in the Spokoma hotel. She
communes with the spook world for
you at so much per throw-also she
can read your palm, read the cards,
and in fact, tell you your innermost
thoughts without even batting an
eye. She's there strong, she is.
And the Swede knows it. She SO
worked upon his spirit that he
thought she was about the only wo-
man in the world. She had him go
ing. Just how he could tell her of
his love and other things, is mys-
terry to the police. He can't talk in
telligible English-his tongue just
sets to moving and words run off at
both ends. Perhaps the spiritualist
didn't need to understand any par
ticular language.
Anyhow the story is somewhat
hazy. They were pulling each
others hair at the corner of Main
and Howard at o'clock this morn
ing when Sergeant Sullivan and De-
tective Lister ran them in. The
spiritually is indignant. "Why,
she said, put NEE in that jail.'
Voc thov pnt hpr in And che
probably will be unless the spirits
get her out. The cops wouldn't be
surprised if she was to pass through
the Reynolds in a thin vapor of
smoke. Some of them believe in
spirits.
According to their story the
Swede, who has an unpronounce-
able name, not like Olson or John
son or the general run of Swedish
names, took her for buggy ride
late last nights. Spirits take no
note of time of day or night, she ex-
planned Well the Swede took her
out and they had returned almost to
the hotel when the trouble occur
red. When she got out of the rig
purse dropped from the folds of
her dress. 1t was the Swede's
purse, he claims. and he knew that
although the spirits might take any
thing else, they wouldn't be so
worldly as to take money. Oh, no.
The Swede grabbed it at the same
time the lady grabbed it. Their
heads came together in a bump.
She screamed. He shouted. Then
they tangled up for fair and the
Swede was getting some the worst
of 1t when the officers came on the
run.
She says her name is frankie
Richer true name, she says, and
no relation to Chief Rice.

STATE BUILDING
CONTRACT

L. P. Hornberger, member of the
Yukon, Alaska, state commission,
leaves for Seattle this afternoon to
attend a session of the commission
tomorrow at which the contract for
the erection of the Washington
state building at the fair will prob
ably be let.
The commission will also select
the site for the woman's building, q
project in which Mrs. H. w. Allen
of this city, as president Of the
State Federation of Woman's Clubs
has been actively interested. The
building is designed as an opportu-
nifty for the women of the state to
be represented at the exposition
with any sort of exhibit they may
wish to make. From the prepare
tions already under way this depart
ment is likely to be one of the great
features of the fair.

CHICAGO, May 20.-Chief of Po-
lice George M. Shippy is having q
sizzling time with the Chicago so.
cialists. Just at present the social
ists~have the laugh on the chief.
Shippy, in whose mind recollec-
tons of bread line riots and the al
legged attempt of one Aver
bauch to assassinate him were still
fresh, constituted himself a censor
of the socialist convention.
When w. H. Leffingwell of New
York was creating a little excite
ment in the vicinity of Brands hall,
N. Clark ST., by displaying contrast
pictures of rich poodle dogs and
poor tenement babies, the chief
scented anarchy, or something.
He called halt, created a censor

see whether there was any such
thing in the code Or not, he went up
to the convention and sternly for

HASTY ACTION
ON UNIT PLAN
BOARDS ACTION IN REJECTING
NEW IDEA IN SCHOOL CON-
STRUCTlON BECAUSE 1T is
NEW NOT ENDORSED.

The action of the board of educa
ton in rejecting the unit school plan
offered by r. c. Sweat was resent
ed last night by the Mems club OF
Plymouth church. Mr.. Sweat ex
planned the design and won the ap
prevail Of the meeting. 1t was the
sense of the club that if any section
preferred the unit plan its desires
should be accorded by the board.
The boards objection is that the
plan is in too much OF an expert
mental stage to be tried here, that
other cities should take the lead
and If the plan proves successful
Spokane should follow.
The real objection of the board is
believed to be a desire to erect only
imposing school buildings. The unit
plan is more on the park idea, the
classrooms being separated and
grouped about hollow square
which forms the play ground. The
merits argued for it are that the
separate class rooms can be made
more sanitary and comfortable and
in addition are absolutely safe from
fire damage as all would be one
story. The board has erected some
fairly imposing buildings, but none
of them are provided with adequate
facilities for avoiding panic in case
of fire. The board thought they
were but learned different on inves.
tigation.
The unit plan has been endorsed
by the 10000 club, City Engineer
Ralston and citizens generally. TIC
the average citizen it appears to be
the proper solution of the question
of securing healthy and safe school
rooms with every opportunity for
artistic design, relieved from the
brick pile effect such as now dis
tinguishes the high and other school
buildings of this city. 1t is claimed
that the unit plan, room for room, is
also the cheapest in construction
cost. On this account 1T is sur
missed that building contractors are
opposing it.

FORAKER FINALLY ADMITS HE'S
A PRESIDENTIAL LMPOSSLBLLI7'I
Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 20
A straight, broad-shouldered man
with an eagle eve and whitening
hair, walked down the corridor out
side the senate and glared at a
sightseeing bride and groom. Wash
| ington is filled with honeymOoners
| this spring.
Passing on, the man fixed his ca
gle glare on the uniformed messen-
ger at the door. Inside, where the
smugly genial Fairbanks already
sat in the senate pulpit, regarding
his polished finger nails, the man
with the eagle eye glared at page,
which is just small boy.
He swung his head slowly around,
and in one sweeping, panoramic
glare he took in Fairbanks and the
dozen senators already in their
places.
The man with the glare was Sen
ator Foaker. There's no reason to
think he doesn't like brides and
grooms There's no reason to think
pressing defiance of the small boy
page.
He need not have been feeling es-
pecially cross. He may have been
feeling quite cheerful, though
presidential boom, dead in it's hot
house, is not pleasant to think
about.
It's just Foraker's way.
Foraker glares TO the same rea-
son Cannon, posing as Old Hickory,
With Boots On, wears his vest un-
buttoned. Foraker is living up to
the role Of Fighting Foraker. The
eagle eye marks the part like "Ha!
Hal" and curling lip marks the
villain of melodrama.
When Senator Foraker was Fire
Alan Foraker" he had himself pho
tographed with his chin in the air
and his eagle eye fixed banefully on
the photographer mans pretty bir-
! die.
The same old photographs are
still printed in the country newspa-
pers at campaign time.
| But oraker as We saw him IN
the senate doesn't look much like
them any more.
When he stands he still throws
his chin up in the air in the same
old photographer attitude of noble
| defiance. But in the senate, per
haps, when he is less on show, he
sits back on his shoulders with his
chin down in his collar, glazing out
from under his eyebrows.
1t is no less a fighting face she
presents. The dropping curves Of
white mustach, like walrus tusks
even heighten the impression. But
there Is less of the melodramatic
noble eagle in 1t.
We saw him first from the senate
gallery two weeks ago. when mes
sage from the president was being
read. 1t was a reference to men
whose faces have grown hard and
cruel" There was more to the sen
tence. The rest couldn't apply to
Foraker.
Foraker sat hunched down with
a printed copy of the message in
his hand. Two other senators had
come over to talk to him. Foraker
held up the sheets in front of him
and stabbed the paragraphs with a
stiff, bare finger.
And glared.
This face alone would have prov
ed that he is not presidential can
