SPOKANE HEAD
OF BROTHERHOOD

vicar, participated in the delibera-
tions of the grand trustees this
morning.
They were called here by the
Spokane lodge as a result of the
desertion Of Grand Secretary
Wood, Seattle, who is charged
with trying to sell his brethren in
a job lot to the Order Of Owls. Gus
Mosher, Portland, who was elect
ed grand executive at the last reg
ular session of the brotherhood
has withdrawn and is under sus.
picion Of also going over to the
enemy.
Officers here today claim mem
bership of 10000 for the brother
hood, all of whom have been pre-
served to the organization by the
prompt action of the Spokane nest
when a movement to deliver them
to the rival Owls was detected. AS
the matter stands now, the
Brotherhood of Owls is home in
dustry exercising jurisdiction over
the rest of the world.

HAYES PARK
NEEDS water

In spite of city hall statements
that the water supply has been
raised to normal, the people OF
Hayes park, numbering hundreds,
have been without water nights for
three days. The arid hours are
from p. m. to 8 a. m.
Lawns in this and other remote
parts of the city are drying up.

cases are using water on lawns as

1t is within the power of the city
water department to order all

been done. The result is an In

portions of the city for which there
appears no excuse other than that
large property owners reside in

Is she married, or is she not
Pretty Dorothy Dayne, appearing
this week at the Washington
theater, stamps her foot to en-
phasize her denial. Moreover, she
will tear the roof off the newspa-
per that says she is and then sue
the remnants lCr damages. That's
what Dorothy told The Press this
morning, so there now.
It's all because of pretty little
baseball romance story sent out
from Detroit in which Jose Krick,
crack pitcher Of the Duluth White
Sox, Is signed as the lucky man.
Dorothy admits that she knows
Krick, but that is as far as she
will go. Everything beyond that Is
a mile wide Of the plate, she says,
and she claims to be the umpire in
this case. Jose can't put over q
matrimonial twist that looks good
for a minute to Dorothy.
The Duluth story has it that one
half hour after standing before the
altar of Hyman, Jose Krick, star
pitcher of the Northern league,
faced the batsmen Of the Brandon,
Canada, team, and pitched a game
of ball that was lost in the ninth
inning through errors by his own
teammates.
"Krick married Miss Dorothy
Bess Ford, an actress, known to
footlight fame as Dorothy Dayne.
She is the daughter of San Fran
cisco minister.
"The ball player is a member OF
the Duluth White Sox team. He
met Miss Ford in Chicago year
ago. He wooed and won the fair
girl and when she came to Duluth

Water SITUATION
NO WORSE

The water situation today is no
worse today. Reservoirs and
standpipes are full and the indica-
tor at Central fire station shows
that the 80 pounds average pres
sure is being maintained.
However, 1t Is still advisable to
save as much water as possible by
doing little sprinkling.
Chief Myers today stated that
people say What little sprinkling
do don't count much"
He says there are thousands of
people thinking the same. This
results in a big loss. Most people
use too much water, anyway, the
chief says, to the actual damage
of their lawns. The pumps will
be in shape Sunday.
