SPOKANE EVOLVES A
SNOWFALL STORM

A SNOWFALL storm has nature
fake sound. but that, or something
nearly related to 1t, Is what Spo-
kane got last evening by way of
reminder that the year is waning
into winter. Gobs of snow-it is
difficult to otherwise describe them
came down, large enough to scat
ter around when they struck the
pavement. Being hit in the back of
the neck by one produced sensa-
ton somewhat similar to impact
with the genuine article.
Naturally the weather man can
account for it all very scientifically,
but an easier explanation might be
framed on the theory that some
curious little creatures of the upper
air were having fun taking pot
shots at humanity with ammunition
snatched from the clouds. Classical
fairy tales have had less substantial
foundation.

TAKES
BROAD SCOPE

The first meeting OF the Spokane
male chorus for the coming season
will be held in the assembly room
of the chamber of commerce Mon
day evening at s o'clock. The
active membership at present con-
sists of SO members, and it is the
purposes of the management to in
crease the same to 100. Each men,
Der is urgently asked to propose a
new member, who will agree to at
tend all rehearsals and take active
interest in the organization of a
first class male chorus. Applicants
must be men of good character, re-
ceive the Endorsement of two mem
bers, be examined for musical fit
ness by the director and admitted
to membership at a following meet
ing.
1t is the purpose of the executive
committee to ask number of
prominent gentlemen of this city
to become honorary members, who
by their connection with the or
ganization will promote and foster
a love for male chorus music. With
the increased active membership
proposed, the chorus hopes to take
a prominent place in the musical
work of this city. This year will
be the third of the organization.
At the coming meetings the di-
rector, Professor N. A. Krantz, will
outline the music it is desired to
take up for rehearsal.

special Correspondence to The Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-When
John d. Rockefeller's National City
bank moves across Wall street
early next year it will be to occupy
the handsomest banking building
in the world.
The removal will also mark the
final chapter of scandal involving
cabinet officials at Washington.
The whole contract between the
bank and the government for the
transfer of the old custom house
site is tainted with the appearance
of fraud.
There was once congressional
investigation, intended to disclose
the ways and means by which this
favored bank was able to bid in the
property, eight years ago, for a
fraction of what 1t was worth. The
price paid was $3,265,000, and the
first taxes paid were assessed on a
valuation Of $5,500,000. That was
last year. For the seven preceding
years the bank had actual owner
ship of the property, but escaped
all taxes by reason of the fact that
it's legal advice was so astute as to
recommend that instead of paying
over to the government the whole
purchase price, balance of $50, 900
should be allowed to run at 4 per
cent interest, pending the time the
government was prepared to va
cate the building and take posses
sion of its new custom house in
Bowling Green.
The assessors department of the
city put the property on its books
against the National City bank
when the contract for the purchase
was made, in 1900, but the corpora.
ton counsel, on the theory that the
city had no taxable interest, be-
cause the actual deed had not
passed, caused its transfer to the
exempt Its" which, during the
seven years effected an actual cash
saving for the Rockefeller bank of
approximately $4,000, to say
nothing of probably 100000 more
in water rates saved on the same
pretext.
BY holding back the $4,000,
therefore, the bank. by payment of
per cent interest on this, or $4,000
annually, was able to save an aver
age of nearly $4,000 a year in
taxes and water rates, fat enough
profit to merit John DIS well
done" for his efficient lieutenants.
AS matter OF fact, it is hard to
See where the government received
much of anything for this site
which, foot for foot, Is one of the
most valuable in America. For dur.
ing the seven years occupancy fol
lowing the deal the government
paid the bank as rental per cent
on the purchase price, or 1914, zoo

THEATER
sPoKAN e.

With Lee Willard in the famous
Sol Smith Russell play, "A Poor Re-
lation," the play goers of Spokane
are promised charming play en-
acted by a superior company, to-
night and Saturday evening. The
part of Noah Vale is said to be
entirely consistent in the sunshine
and shadow of the circumstances
through which it passes. Pathos is
delicately dimmed in comedy in
this character.
George M. Cohan's musical play,
THE Honeymooners," which has
proved one of the most popular at
fractions during the past summer
in New York, where it has played
for three months, will be presented
at the Spokane theater Sunday and
Monday, with a large chorus and
the original production.

On the face of It,. it looks as II
the government paid money to
John DIS institution for the priv
ilege of furnishing the site for its
new home. There probably was
never a time since the deal was
made when the government had
less than the purchase price on de-
post with the bank without in
terest.
No wonder the bank can afford
to put 100000 cold dollars in the
reconstructed building.
Lyman ]. Gage, who was secre-
'tary of the treasury at the time the
contract was made, and through
whom it was carried into effect,
left the cabinet shortly afterward
and became president of the
United States Trust Co., while his
then assistant in the treasury de-
partment, Frank A. Vanderlip, was
made vice president of the Ma
tional City bank itself and is today
its acting head These circum.
stances have been unkindly re-
ferred to In the press and even in
the halls of congress.
The city is reaping belated re-
ward. Last year it collected $S1, $50
in taxes on the property, and this
year $S5,542. In 1899, with the new
structure completed and on the
present tax rate, the city will re-
ceive about s125,OOO, for the as.
sessed valuation ON the block of
ground, 1877 by III feet, with the
building, figured at $7,SOO,O0O, or
thereabOuts.
