GRAFT DECISION
APPEALED

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14.-In
petition couched in the most re-
spectful language, the state,
through Attorney General Webb,
Francis J. Heney, Charles w. Cobb
and Joseph Dwyer, asks the SUI
preme court for rehearing of the
decision of the appellate court that
the extortion proved against Mayor
Schmitz and Ruef does not consti-
tute a crime under the laws of
California.
The appellate decision is attack
ed as fallacious in logic, unsupport-
ed by reason and the highest au-
thorities. 1t is pointed out that no
decision has aroused so much pub
lie resentment and argued that op'
portunity for full discussion Of the
case will establish the fact that
levying blackmail upon licensed
business by the mayor and political
boss is crime under the state law
and should be punished.

AID BOARD To
MURDER RATS

The health department is will
ing to promote rat determination
to the extent of furnishing the poi
son and even placing it where it
will do the most good. If you are
afflicted with rats call up the de-
partment, phone 1874, and leave the
information as to the location of
your private rat colony. The in
spector will do the rest with his
strychnine bottle.
Poison signs will be furnished
gratis also, and every effort made
to plant the dope where dogs and
cats won't get IL. The board is out
to do up the rat and all the as
sistance it asks is little detective
work in locating lairs.
The disease dope used by the
board for the purpose of innoculat-
ing unsuspecting rodents with a
fatal malady has worked first rate,
but it is unequal to the occasion. 1t
spreads disease enough to kill a
dozen or so, but the rat birthrate
runs too far in excess of that
ratio.
If citizens who are posted on rat
habitations will cooperate with the
board a campaign will be inaugur-
ated that will clean the city with
out resorting to heavy expenditures
for bounty.

down the ages to them in tribal
folk lore.
Further fortifying the theory
that the garden lay in this valley,
and was the scene of earliest
civilization, come the traditions Of
the tribes of the Muskingum val
ley. Archeologists claim the
Moun-builders and THE Peoples Of
the Serpent" were Dolicocephali,
or long heads" so-called by rea-
son of the great length of their
skulls, indicating advanced brain
power.
The peope Of the Muskingum val
ley were Brachycephali, or short
heads" of small intelligence, and
with short skulls. They became
subject to certain banished leaders
of the people of the Serpent" &C.
cording to tradition.
And here fiually comes the bible
to the rescue, Genesis iv, 16: And
Cain went out from the presence of
the Lord and dwelt in the land of
Nod, east of Eden"
The Muskingum valley lies east
of this region.

can continent was all but connect
ed with Europe and Africa by the
island Atlantis. Plato, in his Tin
aeus, tells of great army COM
ing out of the west across this ISL
and to invade Europe. 1t was
driven back by the Athenians.
According to Plato the peoples
of the west were ruled by three
kings. These armies merely fol-
lowed a trail blazed centuries be-
fore by their intrepid forefathers,
who spread into Europe and Africa.
Via the Boring strait other valor-
Gus adventures crossed into and
peopled Asia.
The Jesup scientists contend
that ages and ages ago the SciotD
valley was the seat of the highest
civilization uncovered anywhere In
the world, a civilization it would
require ages to develop. 1t origin

tainment. Here in 1000 mounds
is it's mute story today.

LAWYERS LOYAL
TO ROCHE

The Spokane County Bar asso-
citation threw down the glove to
the insurgent attorneys led by
Frank r. Post last night in the an
1ual election of officers. The fire
works began with the nomination
for president of A. E. Gallagher,
who was named by Joseph Nc
Carthy. The latter explained that
Gallagher was a member of the in
surgents who have founded a new
association. and that brought Judge
L. H. Prather to the floor with his
Irish in the ascendancy. To go to
the enemy for officers, he said,
would make the old association
look like a pack of yellow dogs.
The judge made it plain that he
harbored no saffron colored ca
nine instincts. He had no fault to
find with Gallagher personally, but
, he wouldn't stand for his connec-
tiOns.
John r. Roche, whose presidency
of the old association was made
yelled excuse for the new organiZa-
ton, had refused to accept the Of
fee again after it had been forced
on him. He nominated Judge l.. B.
Nash instead, and the latter was
unanimously elected. Other of
fcers elected are Judge Prather
vice president, H. M. Brooks sec
rotary, A. G. Kellam treasurer,
Judge S. c. Hyde. David Herman
George A. Latimer, OHM L. Wiley
executive committee.
In spite of the fight made to dis
rupt it, the old association last
night accepted the membership ap-
plications of J. M. Collins, ]. l..
Bailey, John C.. Howe, H. A. Phil
lips, Elihu Adams, E. B. Huffman.
The tactics of the silk stocking
organization, as the new associa-
ton has been dubbed, were severe
ly criticised in the remarks made
by numerous members. There was
a unanimous desire to display con-
fidence In Roche by rejecting him,
but Roche wouldn't have it.

MAKING PLANS
FOR BIG FILL

Plans are being prepared for the
Sprague st. fill and Commissioner
O'Brien said today that he hoped
they would be ready to present to
the city council when it meets in
committee of the whole next Tues
day night. There is a possibility
that the entire matter will be held
up pending the return to the city of
Councilman Leonard Funk, who is
absent in Washington, d. C. If the
council is in the proper humor ac-
ton may be taken on the plans i'm
mediately.
Several councilmen have stated
that they are in favor of the city
doing the work under the day la
Dor plan and in starting operations
as soon as possible in order that
men now out of employment may
be put to work.

SUICIDE SUSPECT
A, r. PETERSON

A careful perusal of the note and
memorandum found in the pockets
of a coat which was found on the
third Howard st. bridge last night
leaves no doubt but that the owner,
who is supposed to have leaped
into the river and committed sui
eide, was Andrew r. Peterson. The
first report was that he was l. R.
Peterson because he wrote A. like
|. Both the note and the memoir
andum asked that Mrs. c. A. Craig,
of Missoula, Mont, be notified. The
police telegraphed this morning.
The note also gave Petterson's de-
scription as five feet seven inches
tall, weight about 1877 pounds.
All day long interested citizens
and the police watched the river
for the appearance of the body,
which was not found ePtterson is
believed to have been a transient.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14,--A-

NIT murder and is already serving
a life term, ]. w. Finley must hang
according to decision just rem
dered by the state supreme court.
He was sentenced for murderous
assault on a prison official in an at
tempted outbreak at Folsom. The
statute prescribing the death pen
atty for life term convict who as
saults another with murderous in
