who saw the fash agree It came from
the south side OF the track.
Sheriff Charles Henderson. accom-

Tacoma's Health Onlcer starts Cam

TACOMA. Wash. May 2.-Heaith
oficer sargentich proposes to make
his campaign for cleaner Tacoma"
widespread. While he is compiling
his circular. which provides sanitary
rules for grOcers, butchers. bakers.
cOnfectioners and other dealers In
edibles. he is planning to cleanse the
barber shops.
The barber shop is one place
where diseases OF every nature may
be spread, says the health officer, and
ne will demand that each brush. mug
and razor be thoroughly sterilized
after each shave and scissors must be
sterilized after each haircut. No
towel must be used on two persons.
DR.. sargentich figures that It will
cost the largest shop In Tacoma less
than $3.50 a month to carry out his
idea and many OF the BARRIERS have
spoken favOrably OF the new rule.

CHEERS FOR TAFT


Gather at Banquet.
SPOKANE, Wash, May 2.-"Will-
lam H. Taft has been described as
the 'feet-footed elephant Of modern
world politics." declared Everett ].
Smith OF WaIla Walla last night to
the plaudits OF 400 guests gathered
to attend q banquet given, at the
armory by the Spokane Taft club.
I'VE of the state OF Washington
are cosmopolitan people. We keep
uppermost in our minds the selection
of that man for president who can ac-
complish the greatest good to the
greatest number, the man who can
accomplish most for the welfare OF
our state and nation. For the big
stick we would substitute the crow
bar. with the 500 pounds OF william
H. Taft on the outer end. This ma
tion has bought into a game Of in
ternatiOnal politics with a big stack
OF chips, and we want Taft for presi-
dent because we look upon him as the
man with the coolest head and the
steadiest hand to sit In the game. :"
Political Event Of Year.
Last nights banquet was the po-
litical event of the Taft campaign in
this state, the most important gather
ing yet held in Washington this year.
OF the 400 guests present more than
so were from outside Spokane, and
nearly a score came from other coun-
ties. 1t was a veritable love feast OF
unanimous good feeling, with not a
single incident to mar the equanim-
ity of the occasion. Among the
guests were Mayor c. H. Moore,
United States District Judge Edward
Whitson, two ex-governors, two can
didates for governor, the four Spo-
kane candidates for congress from
the Third congressional district and
many of the prominent republican
leaders. With one voice the gather
ing united in applauding with ringing
cheers the achievements OF President
Roosevelt and the presidential quail
fications of his natural successor,
Secretary Taft.

TWO YEARS FOR
ROY AND CHURCH
Young Criminals Sentenced to Brit
ish Columbia Penitentiary

Chief OF Police McGovern received
a message this afternoon from w. J..
Dewitt at Nelson. B. G.. advising him
that Arthur Church. n. &c. Roy. who
has been travelling under the alias OF
Pickrell. and their two confederates,
Bridges and Bonnie, were convicted
this morning at that place Of bur
giaTy. and each sentenced 10 serve a
twO-year term in the penitentIary.
Church aud Roy both were well
known to Occur d'Alene people and
both were known as hard characters.
Church had been under arrest two
years ago, together with a number OF
others. on the charge OF arson. but
the case never came to trial because
OF lack Of evidence. After this
charge against him was dismissed
and he was released from Jail. where
he had been confined for about q year
while awaiting trial, he became q
source Of annoyance and trouble TO
the police OF the city. From time TO
time petty thefts were committed and
buildings we're entered and articles
stolen, and while the police felt con-
fldent that II was the work OF Church
and his pals. they we're never able to
secure Euiicient evidence against him
to bring about a conviction. He was
arrested last January ON the charge
OF rape on the person OF Hazel More
house, a minor. The girls evidence
was. however. all that could be pro-
dnced against him. and under the
Idaho law that was not suficient 70
convict and the case was dismissed.
Roy &C the same time was arrested
on the charge OF being an ineorrtgi-
BILE and his case was tried in the pro-
bate court. Sentence. however. was
suspended pending his good behavior.
After his release on the suspended
sentence the police offiCerH discovered
evidence showing conclusively that be
had entered a hamburger stand In the
city, together with Church. and taken
from Il various articles. Roy In some
way found out that the police were
on his track and fed TO the state OF
Washington and remained until he
and Church departed for British Co
lumbia.
After crossing the British border
both young men continued their
criminal career, and one OF the first
acts done by them was TO enter and
burgiarize, together with the two
other men convicted. a section house.
A number OF articles OF value we're
taken by them, but this time they
were unable TO make their escape
from conviction. as the police who
arrested them found stolen articles IN
their possession. Both Church and
Roy maintained their innocence at
the time OF their arrest and during
the trial, but were unable TO give a
satisfactory account of their where
abouts after crossing the line. aud I'M
able to explain away the guilt at
taching to them By reason OF their
possession OF the stolen articles, and
their conviction and sentence fol-
lowed.
