TRAIN AGAIN
GRAzES CAR

The need for grade separation at
the Division street crossing of the
o. r. & N. and International tracks
was plainly shown yesterday after
noon when an o. r. & N. passenger
train only escaped blowing into a
street car by reversing and turning
on the air.
The conductor ON the street car,
like a great many others, was in
a hurry and dashed across the
track without looking to the west,
from which direction an o. r. &
N. train was coming at high speed.
The car conductor motioned for the
motorman to proceed and the
street car nd just cleared the track
when the engine struck the cross
ing.

BIG OWNERS WANT
IMPROVEMENT

At the regular meeting OF the
North Division Street Improvement
club held last night progress was
reported in the work of securing
signers for paving nearly a mile
and q half of Division street, from
Boone avenue, where It will con-
meet with the proposed viaducts
across the railroads, to Empire
avenue. on top Of the Lidgerwood
hill. The gratifying feature of the
matter is the support given the
paving proposition by J. ]. Browne,
DR.. p. S. Byrne, Malmgren & Jas.

property owners on the street.
This work, IL carried out, will re-
suit In great improvement on Di-

A number of objections are urged
against the new plan OF the North

that the grade is a much harder

and convicted on a charge of bur-
glary in the superior court October
IL, this morning was sentenced by
Judge Sullivan to a term of from
three to IA years In the peniten-

known that he had been confined

out having been charged with an
offense. He was arrested last
May for the robbery of the house

In addition to a fine spread, the
railway mail clerks banquet last
night was little more than a re-
publican rally, called with the un-
derstanding that the, railway mail
service men were to be told which
side was the proper one to sup
port in the election next Tuesday.
The comedy of the situation de-
veloped in the suggestion made by
Congressman Wesley L. Jones in
which he favored the placing of
the postmaster general under civil
service, presumably so that politics
might not interfere in his work.
The democrats in the employ of
the railway mail service must
have had an inkling Of the char
acter of the meeting, as only As
of the 10 clerks running into Spo-
kane were present.
A few weeks ago a circular was
received In the Spokane headquar-
tiers of the railway mail service
threatening dire visitation on the
heads of all railway mail employees
who undertook to mix into politics
or contribute to political cam
paign funds. This injunction evil

CENTRAL LABOR UNION
STANDS BY COMPERS


Organized labor of Spokane rep
resented in the Central Labor
union, last night went on record
as to their stand In this campaign
by unanimously indorsing the po-
litical program outlined by Presi-
dent Gompers of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
The Gompers plan is to admins
ter a rebuke to the enemies of or
ganized labor by supporting the
platform and candidates Of the
Denver convention.
Some speculation had taken
place as to the probable ction of
the Spokane central body on the
Gompers program, and doubt had
been expressed In some quarters as
to Its endorsement here.
The sentiment for the support Of
Mr.. Gompers In his great fight has
grown In the last two weeks, espe-
cially since the activity of the fed
eral courts In the Danbury hat case
and Buck stove case has been
taken under consideration by wage
earners.
The action of the state fedora.
ton In endorsing Mr.. Gompers
plan has lso had weight, and the
visit here last week Of Charles
Perry Taylor of Tacoma, secretary
treasurer Of the state federation,
solidified the sentiment and result.
