MAYOR MOORE
DARK SUSPECT
CANDIDATE COSGROVE HAS
BEEN TO SEE HIM, AND MEAD
MEN WOULD BETTER WAKE
UP.

Here you Gov. Mead republicans,
get busy with Mayor Moore, S. G.
Cosgrove has been to see him. A
man who peeked in the window
says he saw Cosgrove making
hypnotic passes over the mayors
honorable pate. All this happened
in the city hall, where republicans
and democrats now dwell together,
but where republicans aspire to
dwell exclusively hereafter forever.
Mr.. Cosgrove is Mead's opponent
for governor and he is taking it
seriously, too. Over in Seattle he
has organized Cosgrove club,
1900 strong, right in the town
where lives Mcbride, Spokesman
Review candidate for governor, and
John l.. Wilson, who is more or
less responsible for Mead.
Very likely Cosgrove plots a
club here, hence those hypnotic
passes at Mayor Moore. The latter
would attract some attention as
president of such an organization
in T. D. Rockwell's town. wouldn't
he? For Rockwell is out for con-
gress, marching bravely in, the
Mead procession. 1t has been gen.
orally understood that he had the
support Of both the county and city
organizations, but this seance with
Mayor Moore looks suspicious. 1t
ought to be investigated
Here's another dark circum-
stance. Mr.. Cosgrove remarked that
he didn't expect to have to do much
campaigning in Spokane on account
of the many friends willing to look
after his interests, beaming love
ingly on the mayor all the while.
The mayor looked still dizzy. It's
time to send for Gov. Mead and
hold a consultation. Mr., Cosgrove
has been able to hypnotic him.
self into the idea that he is to be
the next governor, and there is no
telling what he might be able to
DO with good natured man like
the mayor.

GOES WOES TURNED
TO REJOICING

F.. M. COe, the veterinary who
was charged with horse stealing
by Henry Davis, was discharged in
police court yesterday after a heat
ed trial in which considerable of a
romance was almost brought out
with success by Deputy Prosecutor
Kizer. Goes chief witness was
Davis divorced wife. Davis said
she ran off with Coe. She testified
that Davis was penniless when he
married her and her lodging
house. She gave him money to
buy the horse which Coe afterward
sold for her. She said she divorced
Davis because he was lazy.
Prosecutor Kizer and Attorney
Roche for the defendant engaged
in wordy battle when Kizer ask
ed Mrs. Davis if she did not run
away with Coe and tour Canada
with him.
Roche jumped to his feet and de-
manded: ...
your honor, | desire that you
reprimand the prosecutor. He is a
young man and probably has not
yet learned the cOurtesieS with
which attorneys commonly treat re-
spectacle women"
The court sustained Roche's OBJ
lection but by wording the ques-
ton in a different way Kizer finally
secured a negative answer from
Mrs. Davis.

mUROERERS LEAVE
VICTIM ON TRACK
Body Found in Time to Reveal Cold
Blooded Crime.

A dastardly attempt to cover up
the murder Of Frank Moreau, a rail-
road laborer, by placing the body
on the railroad track near Cheney,
was frustrated this morning by the
section boss on the Northern Pa
cific. who reached the body just
in time to drag 1t off the tracks be-
fore an east bound passenger train
whiZzed by.
The man had been shot in the
head and his pockets rifled. He
was employed in a railroad con-
struction camp near Cheney. Early
this morning the section hands had
worked near where the body was
found Later a farmer who was
driving by on the road saw the
body laying across the tracks, and
whipping up his team, arrived with
in hailing distance of the section
men and notified the foreman.

ADMIRAL EVANS
WORSE TODAY
BATTLE HERO PAINFULLY IN
JURED BY GETTING LEG
CAUGHT IN WHEEL CHAIR
WHILE OUT FOR AIRING.

PASO ROBLES, Cal, April o.
Admiral Evans is very much
sicker man than the public is lead
to believe. Last night was his
worst since leaving the vessel, and
this morning he looks very i'll. He
suffered a painful injury to the
left ankle, which was most affect
ed, when his leg caught between
the wheel and body of his chair
yesterday while taking an airing.
The injury caused much pain and
loss Of sleep.
The admiral's digestive organs
are in bad condition, due to admin
istration of powerful drugs to kill
rheumatic pains while at sea. The
doctors state there is little chance
of curing the rheumatism until his
system is built up. 1t is admitted
that it will be many weeks before
the admiral can be declared in a
state of health again.

UNION
BID BEATEN

The board OF works this after.
noon awarded the contract for the
E. Sprague av. sewer from Erie to
Napa SITS. to Contractor Mayer,
who bid 5000. The estimate was
$500.
Thomas Maloney, business agent
of Federal union No. 1924, bid
$S,0S4.
The contract for paving E..
Sprague av. from Ivory to Napa SITS.
was awarded to H. l.. Lillienthal,
who bid $32,365. The estimate was
s35,722. The Barber company bid
s35,04S and the Independent COM
pany bid $34,500.
Whether the contractors got to-
gether on a low bid for the Sprague
av. job in order to shut out the fed
eral union is something the menu
bers are specializing on. Thomas
Maloney says the successful bidder
is welcome to the work at the price,
as it is too low.
In addition to handling the Ninth
av. sewer and smaller city job in
good shape, union No. 1854 has
gone into private contracting and Is
now at work on a retaining wall

nificant and may mean an attempt
to divert Oregon from the Taft col

Lodges statement also caused a
surprise, as Lodge is supposed to
act as the voice of Roosevelt in

This is taken by Fulton's friends
as an indication that the reputed
anxiety on the part of Roosevelt
to see Fulton defeated Is unbound
ed and that Fulton is again in ia

CHIEF TO MAKE EXAMPLES
OF SILVER GRILL AND CLUB
Proprietors Are Arrested for Selling
Liquor to Young Girl.

arrest Of the restaurant men. Goldie

chief thought that in the best in
terests of society it was time that
he made an example of the accused
restaurant men as a warning
against others.
A close watch of Pfister's resort
on Sprague av. might reveal Other
infractions of the age limit rule
for it Is not an uncommon sight tC
see girls drinking there who look
younger and more unsophisticated
than Goldie Moore.
And the noted Davenport's res
taurant might not escape on this
score. 1t is in these places and not
the tenderloin that girls first learn
what liquor tastes like. The pro
prietors couldn't be expected to re-
quire birth certificate from every
girl patron, but they can be more
strict than they have been in the
past. Inquiries as to age have
never bothered parties out on dis
sipation bent in this city.
