FOR
DAY LABOR

The contract for the installation
of the big force main from the up
river pumping station to the cor
ner of Division and Jackson which
is calculated to supply water for
the northside, was not awarded to-
day, and probably will not be owing
to the fact that In each instance
the bids were considerably higher
than City Engineer Ralston's esti-
mate Of $4,000. The bid of James
Broad, the lowest, was approx.
mately 100000.
Commissioner J. T. O'Brien this
morning said there is probability
of readvertising. Union men are
preparing to induce the city coun-
Gil to order the work done by day
labor, and have only the necessary
pipes and valves submitted to pub
lie bid.
This is job which will give EN-.
ployment to several hundred men
for many. months. Commissioners
O'Brien before the board of works
decided to submit the work to con-
tractors, favored doing it by day
labor, but was outvoted by Com
missioners Witherspoon and Wet
eel. When the city council ordered
the board Of works to proceed with
the job, it did not specify whether
it be done by day labor or con-
tract, but left that matter to the
board.
In the event that it is decided to
readvertise for bids for labor and
material, federal union No. 11,624
will probably bid.
Through misunderstanding last
time, Thomas Maloney, representa-
tive of the union, did not get in a
bid. He presumed the bidding was
to be only for material and the
job was to be under the day labor
system.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today sent to con-
gress special message regarding
the Brownsville affair. including
evidence. He suggests the rein
statement of all soldiers who will
truthfully tell what happened in
the riot, those who will aid in fix
ing the responsibility, and those
who can show that they were not
implicated. The message reads:
Il enclose the report Of the in
vestigations made by Herbert j..
Brown, employed by the war de-
partment with Captain Baldwin, in
investigating the Brownsville af-
fair. The report enables us to- fix
some criminal and murderous
shooting. 1t is an established fact
that the colored soldiers did the
shooting.
THE investigation has not gone
far enough to enable us to deter
mine all the facts. but there is no
question that practically every
man In Companies G and ID had
knowledge of the shooting done by
the soldiers of Company B."

ASPHYX|ATED
SHADE TREES
INTERESTING QUESTION or
PROPERTY RiCHTe IN oRNA-
MENTAL sHRUBeERY TO az
DECIDED IN PRATHER SUIT.

An interesting question is raised
In the suit of Judge L. II. Prather
against the Spokane Falls Gas
Light Co., trial Of which was begun
by Judge Warren, Of Davenport,
and jury in the superior court
this morning. Judge Prather Ia
suing the gas company for $500
damages for the destruction OF
some large shade trees in front OF
his residence.
The claim is based on the DAM
age to the property and not on the
intrinsic value of the trees. Five
trees were killed, also a lot OF
shrubbery and lawn grass, by gas
escaping through the earth from
the company's mains.
The defense, being conducted by
Attorney Thayer. is based on the
theory that as the ground where
the trees grew was public domain
and that Prather has no right Of
recovery beyond the actual dam
age sustained by the cost of having
to replace the trees.
The municipal corporation had
the right at any time to 60 onto
Judge Prather's strip of parking
and cut down his trees, the defense
contends, thereby showing that the
judge had the trees there. not by
matter of right. but as a matter
of suffrance.

Increases Reward for Bandits Who Have so
Far Eluded Chance Of Capture.

The Great Northern railroad this
morning posted an additional re-
ward of $4,000, making a total of
$4,000 from the railroad for the cap
ture of the two bold bandits who
held No. mile and a half from
Hillyard and robbed the mail car
of the registered matter sent
through from Seattle.
Holdups of Great Northern
trains have been frequent the last
few months and the company is
induced to post the larger reward
on that account. Although ac-
curate descriptions of both the
bandits were telegraphed to all the
surrounding cities the detectives
profess to be no further in hopes
of their capture.
