LABOR ASKS CITY LIGHTS

Resolutions calling upon the city
council to investigate the question
of installing a light and power
plant at the up-river pumping sta
ton were adopted by the Central
Labor union last night. The reso-
lutions were introduced by E. A..
Cooney and were passed unani-
mously. This is the second time
that the Central Labor union has
asked for some action on a matter
of SO much importance to the peo-
pie of the city and to the future
growth of Spokane.
In speaking of the light and
power problem today Councilman
Pratt said he doubted If enough
power could be generated at the
water works dam. He said that
there was plenty of other places on
the river where power could be Sc
cured and that some action should
be taken to secure location for a
plant. He believed the city engi-
neer should be instructed to investi.

JONES COMING after
FEDERAL CONTRACTOR

Congressman Wesley l.. Jones is
to be in Spokane next month and
one OF his missions will be to see if
Contractor Maxwell, who is erect.
ing the federal building, cannot be
compelled to give Spokane labor a
chance to benefit to some extent by
the amount of money the govern
ment is spending here for construc-
ton purposes.
This information was given
George Won Eschen, of the carpen-
ters' union, by Postmaster Hart
son.
The federal building has been a
thorn in the side of local labor ever
since the first stone was laid by
reason of Maxwell's unaccountable
hostility to Spokane labor He has
been assured of every guarantee
against delays or trouble that
could be asked, but has evinced no
use whatever for workingmen OF
this city. An appeal to tSen. An

information that Ankeny could do

gate the entire proposition and re-
port to the council. He agreed that
no relief could be expected from
present high rates for light and
power from private competition, as
the corporation in the business OF
selling light and power had to have
dividends and would get them.
Mr.. Pratt said there was no OBJ
lection to the charge made by the
w. w. P. Co. for arc lights. He
stated it was generally recognized
that the company was furnishing
this kind Of light as cheaply as the
city could, but that in addition to
what is being paid for arc lights
there was about $1,000 per month
paid by the city for light and power
for buildings and other purposes.
The arc light rate does not offer
any relief to the private consumer.
Mr.. Pratt said he has figures
from Seattle which show that rates
for light and power are about twice
as high in this city as there.

HElNzE FIGHTS
Indictment

NEW YORK, Feb. 11--A motion
was made in federal court today to
quash the indictment against Au-
gustuts eHinze, former president
of the Mercantile National bank,
charging Decentralization of
checks to the Otto eHinze Co. A
demurrer was also entered in his
behalf. Judge Hough took the mo-
lions under advisement.
If he overrules the motion
Heinze must stand trial. In such
event the district attorneys office
will ask the court to put the case
on the March calendar of the GRIM
inal branch Of the federal court.

The visit of Congressman Jones
will be a welcome event to labor,
as he is recognized here as the only
member of congress from the state
that has ever shown any marked
friendship for labor interests.
1t is also stated that Jones has
been grossly misrepresented in
other matters as we'll as the labor
question, by forces either anxious
to defeat his fight for the senate or
to force him into false position
to suit their own interests.
AS an instance, Jones has been
represented as being on record as
opposed to the parcels post, where
as his reply to the chamber of COM
merce communication on the sub
ject contains these words:
IF the rural delivery parcel fea-
ture advocated by the postmaster
general could be enacted into law
/ am not sure but it would be a
good thing"
The prospects are that there will
be general clearing of the po-
litlcal atmosphere in regard to
Jones when he arrives.

SHORT WEIGHT FLOUR
PAID FAT PROFIT

Here are some more figures
showing the probable extent of the
robbery perpetrated by the Centen-
NAL mill management in selling
short weight -four. l.. G. Shinn,
grocer at EGGS Webster, has just
weighed four sacks of Gold Drop
-four left in his stock and found
them short weight three pounds to
the sack.
In apologizing for the wholesale
shortage discovered last week by
Inspector Powell in the output of
the Centennial mill, Samuel Glas-
gov, secretary of the company, de-
clared that the shortage could have
prevailed only for a short time.
The -four that Mr.. Shinn found
short was purchased last October,
four months ago.
Counting four sacks to the barrel,
the company's output in Gold Drop
and Big Loaf, the two brands found
short, has run IL pounds short TO
the barrel for four months that can
be traced and how much further
back the shortage extends is a mat
ter of conjecture. The inspector
found instances in which the short
age ran down to six pounds to the
sack, which would mean "a pounds
to the barrel. There were numer-
Gus other sacks four and five
pounds short.
Mr.. Shinn, on the shortage that
he found. has figured out a short
weight profit to the company of
$3.50 per day in addition to legiti-
mate profit on an output of 600
barrels for the Centennial mill, pro-
viding the same ratio of shortage
prevailed in the total output. The
days product would run SO barrels
short of what the trade would be
led to believe it was getting for the
money paid on basis of full
weight. 40 pounds to the sack.
The grocers' association, which
makes strong claims to being con-
stantly alert to short measure,
made no specific mention of -four
last night, although the work Of In
spector Powell was endorsed in a
general resolution. Mr. Shinn and
several other grocers acting indie
pendently, have decided to handle
no more of the Centennial brands
found short weight until they can
be absolutely certain of their in
tegrity. The Centennial company
has made an effort to call in all the
short weight sacks, but with the
shortage running back to- October
so far as definitely known, the flour
swindle becomes the biggest graft
in the short weight line that has
probably ever been inflicted on the
! Spokane public.

DUBLIN PALACE

the castle these visitors began to
make themselves completely at
home. They had the freedom of
the entire palace as guests and
made the most of it, They were
treated with the utmost confidence.
Incidentally they inaugurated a
series Of orgies which decency does
not permit of mentioning. This was
after they had been shown the
crown jewels by Sir Arthur. and
was with deliberate forethought.
Their plan was tot involve the
members of the household of the
office of arms, the immediate guard
ians of the jewels, in situation
which would compromise them If
an exposure were made.
Moreover, they knew, as does all
Dublin, that for years the castle
has been VIGOROUSLY corrupt moral
ly, and resting as it were upon a
smoldering volcano, likely to break
forth in public condemnation at any
moment.
They had little difficulty in learn.

kept when not attached to the Cir
die of the Ulster king of arms. AS
little difficulty was experienced In
obtaining 1t and the jewels. While
the festivities of the reception were
on they fled with them.
Irish leaders recognize the cas-.
tie as hotbed of villainy. Know
ing 1t was maintained for political
purposes alone, lrishmen of all
classes have always wanted to get
ri dof the castle and it's ways. The
cost of its maintenance, borne
wholly by the Irish people, is epor.
nous. For instance, the lord lieu.
tenant draws 100000 year
prlncely salaries are the rule with
all the officials.
Approaching this condition 1t is
not surprising that the govern.
ment desires to suppress the facts
The Irish parliamentary party
however, is also in possession OF
the facts, and storm is likely to
break at any moment in parl!a'
ment.

WoMAN's CONFESSION IMPLI-
GATES SCHOLES IN MURDER
GUS DESIGN AS WELL AS
NUMEROU LESSER CRIMES.

A plot to kill Detective Lister
was unearthed last night follow
ing the arrest of Mrs. Ellen Mullen
as an accomplice with her husband,
Pat Mullen, and Walter Jensen and
William Jones, who are charged
with many thefts, burglaries and
holdups. The woman made con-
fession of many crimes committed
by the men.
The plot against the detectives
life was Matched by J. J. Scholes,
says the Mullen woman. For some
reason or other, Lister was singled
out among all the police officers
who have been on the trail of the
robbers. Mrs. Mullen said Scholes
intended to kill Lister if it was the
last thing he ever did.
Following the arrest of Jensen
and Jones, who are under age, for
stealing two sacks of goods out Of
the Broadview grocery in Hangman
creek settlement, Mullen, who put
the boys up to it, was arrested All
yesterday afternoon Detective Lis
ter endeavored to take Mrs. Mullen
out of the Jones home north of
Minnehaha park. The woman de-
fed him to arrest her and led a
chase around the house, in and out
of it, throwing obstacles into the
path of the bulky detective. Once
she placed dining room table in
front of him and he sprawled his
length upon the floor; again she
grasped the end of rope and

TORTURED JUROR
ASKS DAMAGES

The hardships which the jury in
the case Of the state against A. T..
Dodson was compelled to put up
with has resulted in claim against
the county for $1,000 by E. G. Mer-
chant. The petition says that dur.
ing zero weather the jury was
kept in an unheated room, foul
smelling and dirty. The jurors suf-
fered during the night, and Mer-
chant was seized with erysililas,
which confined him to his bed for
four weeks. At II o'clock, he says,
the bailiff was notified that there
was no heat, but paid no attention.
George Sweet was bailiff then, but
claims he was not notified at all

Since that time two jury bed
rooms have been fitted up on the
top floor of the courthouse and
hereafter jurymen will have hotel
accommodations at the county's ex-

MINISTER'S SON AND ACTOR
STOLE IRISH CROWN JEWELS
Special Correspondence to The Prose

Special Correspondents to The Press
DUBLIN, Feb. 11-Who stole the
crown jewels regalia of the Order
of st. Patrick from the strong room
of Dublin palace?
Will the vice regal commission,
named by the government, be able
to keep the facts from the deeply
interested public of Great Britain
and Ireland?
These questions have agitated
England and Ireland since the dis
appearance of the jewels six
months ago, and the later appoint
ment of the commission to make
@ the inquiry.
Today this commission has made
little Roadway, seemingly, and the
impatience of the public is grow
Ing hourly.
Behind the theft is hidden a scan
dial which threatens to engulf the
inner official circle of the family
In notoriety fully as despicable
as the Won Moltke- Harden affair of
Berlin.
Both the commission and the
government know the truth in con.
nection with the theft. Both are
concealing II.
The Jewels, consisting of huge
star, a badge, crown and five cob
lars, all made of the finest Brazil
ian diamonds. and valued at $780,
600. were stolen from a safe in the
palace strong room last July.
The government tried to hush up
the story Of the theft, then put in
circulation story that the jewels
had been returned, and finally ap-
pointed a commission to inquire Sc
cretly into 1t.
All eyes naturally turned to Sir
Arthur Wears, Ulster king of arms,
who had charge of the jewels. Now
the government Is trying to make
q scapegoat of Wears in order that
the threatened revelations of re-
voting immortality in the palace
may be suppressed.
To this end the commission Of
Inquiry determined upon secret
meetings. Wears, fully appraised OF
the plan, revolted, and has refused
to appear before the commission
unless the complete facts are per-
mitted to be known.
SO the matter stood until a few
days ago, when Wears, who had
held the post of Ulster king of arms
for 10 years, was removed upon rec

corner.
The elder Jones, who had been
to police headquarters and was told
by Sergeant Sullivan that he was
to go out and get Mrs. Mullen SO
that her husband might talk to her,
arrived and induced Mrs. Mullen to
accompany the detective to head
quarters. Mrs. Mullen had declared
she would make the officer carry
her. The house is 10 blocks from

The shrinkage is accounted for
by the fact that 16 inch length pile
tighter than the four foot lengths
will. Knots and slivers on the
long stick serve to open up the four
foot cord. and the total result is
surprising.
For this reason, careful wood
dealers don't sell by the cord, us.
ing the rick as a unit of measure
ment instead. Were the city in
spector to measure up a cord after
it had been sawed there would be
trouble right there for the dealer.
And there are dealers who are
mighty careless as to what they
call a rick.
Inspector Powell intends to rem
edy this by offering an amendment
to the ordinance naming the rick
as unit of measurement instead of
a cord measurement of 1913 cubic
feet, or four feet high, eight feet
long and 16 inches wide.

The truth in the robbery is given
here for the first time. Last July,
when Dublin was preparing for the
reception of King Edward. two
young men, well known in London
society, were invited by Shackleton
to spend a week or two IN Dublin
castle. One Is the son of Church
Of England minister the other a

son had been mixed up in several
cases that savored strongly OF
