MAYOR WATTS
ON NEW YEARS
THEN THE SPIRIT WILL MOVE
HIM TO PROCLAIM DECISION
ON TO RUN OR NOT TO RUN
QUESTION:.

Mayor Moore says that he is
waiting until New Years day to
make resolution as to whether
or not he will run for reelection.
If all the signs are right, 1t is re-
garded as pretty certain that the
resolution will be in the affirma-
tive, Notwithstanding previous de-
clarations to the contrary.
1t is surmised that some of the
mayors friends of the last election
rather oyerdid things in their
anxiety to show why the mayor
could not afford to give time and
talent to second term. His large
business interests and other han
dicaps to Official life were enumer-
ated, possibly without consulting
the mayor in the matter. At this
his honor began to experience the
Missouri feeling, it is suspected.
The mayor Is very appreciative of
the concern exhibited over his in
ability to make the sacrifice neces-
sary to longer tenure in Office
and also just a bit curious. Peo-
pie coming and talking over a good
man to put up on the assumption
that no more Moore is considered
by all hands excite his curiosity.
And his honor likes a little bit of
poker-not with cards, of course,
but political poker. He may ask
for a showdown. And he may have
an ace or two tucked away in his
sleeve, all of which is according
to Hoyle in political poker. 4
Meanwhile there is man named
Hutchinson-but that is another
story.

SAYS COSCROVE
MUST RETURN

Attorney General Atkinson has
ruled that Governor-elect Cosgrove
will have to return to this state
from California in order to legally
take the oath of office. According
to an announcement from Paso
Robes yesterday, Mr.. Cosgrove in
tended to take the oath of Office
there and return at his leisure,
leaving Lieutenant Governor Hay
to act as executive until Mr.. Co.'S
groves health permitted him to
come to Olympia. The attorney
general holds, however, that Gov
ernor Mead will continue in Office
until Mr.. Cosgrove returns and
properly qualities. He also rules
that Mead will remain in Office I'M
til another governor is elected in
case Mr.. Cosgrove fails to recover
before qualifying.
1t Is held that the governor-e elect
may return to the state and assume
his Office any time within the four
years period of his legal term.

JUDGE TO DECIDE
WHEN DOCTORS
DISAGREE

An interesting quarrel between
husband and wife. in which the
state of Washington, through it's
insanity laws has ben drawn into
the fight to aid the husband, is
being heard in Judge Sullivan's d.
vision ofg the superior court.
1t is the habeas corpus case Of
Grace Paukshen. who seeks to be
released from the Medical Lake in
sane hospital, to which she claims
to have been "railroaded" by her
husband, r. A. Paukshen.
The husband. the real defendant
in the action, sits among the wit
nesses in the court room, while his
battle is being fought by the state,
as represented by DR.. ]. NJ. Sem
pie, superintendent of the insane
hospital at Medical Lake. Attorney
H. M. Brooks represents the attor-
ney general in the proceedings,
while Paukshen is assisting the
state to the extent of employing
one attorney, Mr.. Hibschman Of
Davenport, to aid in keeping his
wife in the asylum. Poindexter &
Moore and III. M. Martin of Daven-
port have charge of Mrs. Pauk-
shen's interests.
The testimony shows that Mrs.
Pankshcn had come to Spokane
last summer from her home near
Govan. Lincoln county, aud had en-
gagged counsel to bring nan, action
for divorce against her husband,
when he go. wind of the fact
through visit to the Office or his
wife's lawyers, In which he repre-
scented himself as her brother and
very much interested in the, case.
BY all sorts of promises Pankshen
then induced his wife to return

TOWN FULL Of
TEACHERS
TheAtwenty-secOnd annual con-

TheAtwenty-second annual con-
vent of the Washington educa-
tiQ( association convened at
this afternoon at the South
htral high school. The conven.
Zion was called to order with every
foot of space available in the audi
toriHm taxed to it's utmost.
It is estimated by County Super
intendent Mcfarland this after
noon that there are at least 1900
to 1900 teachers in the city, which
number he expects will be increas-
ed to from 1000 to $500 by tomor-
row evening. Educators are said
to be looking forward to the pres
ent convention in Spokane as the
most successful and profitable in
the history of the association.
A reception will be given the
teachers and visiting educators to-
night at the Masonic temple, under
the auspices of the Women's club.
There will be music, oratory and
something good to eat.
The joint institute by the teach
ers of Spokane county and city,
Stevens and Lincoln counties clos
ed today noon. Resolutions were
adopted favoring a simpler and bet
ter plan of certifying teachers, and
also asking the legislature to main

ance of permanent licenses to

months, 36 of which were in the

HUTCHINSON !.
HAS 'EM ALL

State Senator Hutchinson last
night scored a complete victory in
his fight for endorsement of pfesi-
dent of the senate this session.
Even Senator Rosenhaupt voted for
Hutchinson, making the endorse
ment of Spokane unanimous.
Will G. Graves was endorsed for
the craftsmanship of the judiciary
committee and Rosenhaupt n for
chairman of the apprppriaA Hons
committee. y IA
Hutchinson now has all but!two
senator's from east of the ID bun
tains, and If he is really in eakhest

is after. It's habit he has.

which resulted in her committal to
the asylum.
The defense claims that Mrs.
Paukshen is still afflicted with
paranoa, and dozen or more doc
tors have been called to give their
opinion on one side or the other
The hearing of Mrs. Paukshen's
side of the case will occupy all of
today's session, and will conclude
with the testimony of Mrs. Pauk-
shen herself. She is present in the
courtroom and appears as sane as
the average woman in such trying
circumstances.
Medical works on insanity bur-
den the table at which the lawyers
sit, and doctor is at the elbow
of each of the examining lawyers
to prompt him when he gets into
too deep water.
Paukshen and wife own real es.
tate said to be worth 100000 to
$4,000, which is the chief bone Of
contention in the case. In the
event of Mrs. Paukshen (regaining
her freedom she will probably sue
for a divorce and a division of the
property, which is not possible
while she is under lock and key
at Medical Lake. She alleges that
it is to forestall the division OF. this
property that her husband had her
committe. 1t will remain for the
Judge to decide whether or not the
woman is justly held in the asylum.

SUNDAY At BAT

Billy Sunday went to bat again
today. preaching this afternoon on
the publican and sinner. Tonight
he will preach on the text, why
callest thou me. Lord, Lord, and
doest not the things that l say?"
In this sermon Sunday does a few
things on his own account to the
folks who are long on protestations
and shy of action along the same
lines. Those who have heard it
describe the treatment as consider
able of a skinning match.
To hear Sunday talk he expects
to make the gospel killing of his
career in this city from the sort
of reception he has so far re-
ceived.

accountable to the state for fees
collected unlawfully, but to the
persons alone from whom the col
lections were made, the Oregon SUI
preme court today reversed the
case against F. l.. Dunbar. former
secretary of state, who was prose-
cuted by Attorney l.. H. MacMahon
of this city to recover over 100000
alleged to have been exacted I'M
lawfully during Dunbar's admins
tration. The opinion, written by
Justice Eakin, says:
ut is commended that fees re.
ceived for filing articles of incor-
poration, issuing commissions to
notaries, appointment of commits
sioners of deeds, miscellaneous
commissions, and warrants of ar
rest were unauthorized but were
collected under the code. The fees
received as ex-officio insurance
commissioner were to compensate
him for services rendered as such,
and are not to be construed as
collections for the benefit of the
state. Unauthorized exactions of
fees by an officer cannot operate
to give the state or county title to
the money so received. They are
the property of the persons from
whom they were illegally exacted.

AVENUE
BRIDGE AGAIN
OLD FIGHT ON PROPOSITION
TO REGRADE FRONT AVE-
NUE. AND LOWER PRESENT
STRUCTURE IN CONFORMITY

The city council at its next meet
ing will again be confronted with
the East Olive avenue bridge prob
lem, which will be brought before
it by the board of public works,
which will submit profile and
ordinance to re-establish the grade
of Front avenue from the east line
of Division street to the. west line
of the bridge.
City Engineer Ralston has pre-
pared plans and specifications for
asphalting- and sidewalking the
avenue at the estimated cost of
$4,000.
According to an opinion of Cor
poration Counsel Hamblen, the
cost of lowering the bridge, to
conform to the new grade, must
be borne by the property owners
in the district This added cost is
estimated to be $3.50.
For months there has been plans
before the council for both steel
and concrete bridges at the point
where the old wooden bridge now
stands. This delapidated struc-
ture is unsafe for street cars and
barely safe for other traffic. It
was closed to car traffic months
ago. When the council submitted
to the Traction Co. a proposition
to join the city in paying for a
new structure. Jay P. Graves offer
ed $4,000. The county offered to
pay $4,000. The cost of con-
crete structure was estimated at
$4,000 and steel at $S1 900. Op.
position arose to both steel and
concrete, with the result that the
matter now stands where it first
stood.
The opening OF a new bridge at
this point would establish a new
entrance to the city for farmers
who live to the northeast of town.
The county has completed the
Trent road, which would furnish
the direct connection. Property
interests along the avenue desire
to build business houses as soon
as the bridge work is under way.
Olive avenue would then become
business street similar to East
Sprague avenue.
Notwithstanding this. the oppo-
sitiOn from certain property own
ers has been sufficient to hold up
any new work. The Traction Co.
offer of $4,000 was withdrawn
when it's steel plans were turned
down. A special bridge committee,
which was appointed to try and
arrive at some agreement with the
Traction Co., decided that the
company should be required to pay
third of the total cost, instead
of $4,000. which was little more
than one tenth.

One More Day for the Final Windup Of
High Grade Pianos at Cut Prices
and Special Christmas Terms.

The Eilers store set out Decem-
Der 1 with a determination to sell
80 pianos during the month of De-
cember and thus make their in
crease of sales for the year great
err than any other Eilers store in
western America. This record was
made before Christmas day, and
they are now encouraged to make
the number 100.
SalesmenN and agents have been
given authority to make any rea-
sonable price concessions to bring
this about, as the pride of the Or
ganization is to break the Spokane
record.
You can readily appreciate what
an opportunity this means for
piano buyers. The large business
done by Eiiers- this year has al
ready made for them a nice profit,
and from now until January l.,
1909, 1t is more question of vol
ume of sales rather than profit.
They are taking drastic measures
to sell the 100 instruments.
High grade, standard makes
have been reduced $76 to $194, and
the most extensive line of pianos
and the finest makes in the city
are selling at prices ranging from
$16S upward.
Pianos that regularly sell for
