CHICKEN FEED
COUNTERFEIT

Somebody with a genius for
making things that look like silver
dimes is imposing on the con-
fidence of the unsophisticated
candy boxes on the backs of the
alter chairs. Being of the same
thickness as the real dime, the ma
chine takes them at par value and
faithfully disgorges it's package Of
candy in return. Then it gleefully
shells out the counterfeits when
the owner comes around to collect
the proceeds of performance.
Two of these limitations taken
out of boxes at the Empire have
been given a perfect dime stamp,
although the metal would be de-
tected were an attempt made to
pass them over the counter. They
are made of an alloy somewhat
lighter than the legal coin, but the
stamp has been taken from gen.
uine dime and must have been
made with die.
AS there was no necessity of put.
ting on the stamp were the counter
feits designed solely to swindle
candy boxes, it is suspected that
bad money makers are experiment.
ing in this city and merely bum
coed the box by way of recreation.
An alloy closely resembling silver,
with the same stamp, would prob
ably pass, and search has been
started to trace the source of the
bogus money.

HURRY UP THAT
NAVAL TROPHY

A Press reader wants to know
what has become of the money sub
scribed by citizens which the cham
Der of commerce was to use In the
purchase of suitable cup to offer
as naval shooting trophy,
Assistant Sec. Dresher, of the
chamber Of commerce, today said
that the amount, $257.25, is now in
the hands of the secretary and will
not be used for the purchase of a
cup until the subscription has been
increased to $500, which would buy
a more suitable and better cup
than the sum thus far subscribed.
1t is expected that an effort to in
crease the subscription to $500 will
be begun soon
The reader suggests that the
chamber get a move on, as the
fleet will soon be on the Pacific
coast.

AFTER KING EDS JOB

Then there is body of English
enthusiasts who claim that neither
Edward nor his family have any
business to rule over the British
empire. They are supporters of the
house of Stuart, and claim that the
real sovereign of England is Ba-
varian princess named Mary, who
ought to be queen with the title of
Mary III.
The last Stuart to be king of
England was James II. who was
driven out of the country to make
room for William of Orange. The
male heirs of this house have all
died and Mary is all they have left
to offer. A small newspaper is pub
lished in London in the interests
of the Stuart restoration. and some

HUGHES TALKS
OF BIG STICK

CHICAGO, Feb. Ex-Governor
Hughes, in delivering a Washing
ton birthday address before the
Union League club today, urged a
settlned governmental policy as the
only means of restoring public con-
fidence in the commercial world,
He declared federal and state laws
should be definite and applied with
precision to practices sought to be
reached.
Enforcement of just laws has no
terrors for those engaged in legiti-
mate business. The way to get
rid of abuses is to attack them di-
rectly," he said.

If L. P. Hornberger. state repre-
sentative from the Sixth district,
which includes portion of the city
west of Monroe ST., is reelected this
fall Spokane will probably have
the speaker of the next house.
Advices from the coast are to the
effect that Speaker Falconer is
working for Hornberger as his sue
cessor, and that number of west
side legislators are backing the
movement When asked about the
prospect Hornberger suggested
that it might be wiser to waive dis
cussion of the matter until he was
reelected. 1t is necessary to be a
member of the house to be eligible
for speaker, and although Horn
berger is a candidate he makes no
claim of having the district in his
pocket. He figures on having
something of scrap on his hands.
e. X. Erwin, county treasurer,
has lately returned from the coast,
where he found the prospects for
his election as state treasurer en-
tirely promising. The west-side
lineup is perfectly willing Spokane
should have the Office, and Spo-
kane Is certainly entitled to that
and then some. George Lamping,
of Seattle, has come out for state
insurance commissioner. Matt
Gormley will not run for treasurer
and will throw his support to Err
win.
There is yet the Office of secre-
tary of state to be filled, and that
ought to come Spokane's way.

gets up meeting and claims that

There has been a perpetual dis

all the English Edwards, from the
