COUNCIL
IS SATISFIED

Councilmen this morning visited
the Mission avenue concrete bridge
on invitation extended by City En-
gineer Ralston last night. Mr. Rails
ton today stated that they express
ed themselves satisfied at the pro-
gress thus far made and the man.
ner in which the work is being
done. The visit was the outcome of
request of the council that the
engineer submit a report on
changes made on the original plans.
Mr.. Ralston told the council last
night that he could explain better
by having them visit the structure.
The original plans called for a
structure to cost $4,000, but as
work progressed it was found that
the bridge could probably be con-
structed for 100000. Councilman
Mohr raised the question of the
legality of changes without authori-
zation of the council. The changes
shown councilmen this morning
will probably be embodied in a
written report.

CAPTURED

SEATTLE, Nov. 11.--After, ,elud-
ing determined armed posses for
16 days, during which he was the
spectacular figure in several bold
flights for liberty, Leo Bezmer, who
October rs chained e. p. English, a
wealthy logger to a tree and de-
manded $4,000 for his release, was
captured by Deputy Sheriffs j. w.
Wheeler, Joe Hill and Steve Meek
at 2 o'clock this morning at the
home of David Fay, a farmer. He
is now in Jail in Seattle, j. B. John
son, farmer, recognized Bezmer
on the road from description, and
notified the authorities.
Bezmer was sleeping soundly at
the Fay home when the deputies
entered. When aroused Bezmer
wantd to know if he was wanted
for murder. In a fight with the
posse two weeks ago he shot Dep
uty Sheriff Durham. Bezmer sup
posed he had killed him. He was
relieved when informed this morn
ing that Durham was not seriously
wounded.

est of a national election. Yes. It
looked hopeless. Practically all Of
Judge Lindsey's friends and former
supporters advised him not to try.
They said 1t was useless. The pow
ers of evil they felt were too strong
for him.
But there were few who had
courage. And Judge Lindsey had
courage. IF / go down, will go
down fighting" was his verdict,
and he announced himself candi-
date for reelection. Then the peo-
pie of Denver rose up in their
might and smote the corporate
bosses hip and thigh" Lindsey's
vote was SO overwhelming that the
party workers and election officials
have not dared to count him out.
1t is great victory. 1t is great
victory for the people. Judge Lind
sey has his share in the honors, as
he did in the fight, but the real vic
tors are the people. They have
shown the corporation bosses that
there is still democracy in Colo
RADIO. They have shown that even
money can be overthrown. They
have shown that bipartisan con-
spiracy, backed by forms of law
and rotten courts, will not always
win. They have shown that the
plain man and the plain woman
will still take a stand and make a
fight for decency and right-for the
children and the protector of the
children, and for one who tells the
truth and refuses brides.
The whole nation may well take
a lesson from this Colorado Incl
dent. The people do want honesty.
The people do appreciate their
friends. The people do recognize
real merit and the people will, in
the end, assert their will in spite. of
all obstacles. 1t is as Senator Hoar
once told the senate, in discussing
the election of senators by the
people.
Whenever" he said, 'the Amer
lean people has made up its mind,
when it's judgment is formed, when
it's will is determined, that will is
sure to be carried into effect.
Whether through senates or over
senates, through courts or over
courts, through presidents or over
presidents, through constitutions
or over constitutions, the irresist-
ible current will make is way"

PEOPLE WANT DECENCY AND HONESTY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-No
greater moral victory was won in
the late election than that achieved
by the people of Denver in the re-
election of Ben b. Lindsey, judge
of the juvenile court.
Here is a case of right triumph
ing over might.
The corporate powers which rule
Colorado had sentenced Lindsey to
private life. He had offended them.
He had become a reformer in poll
tics as we'll as of children. He had
told the truth about Denver's rot
ten government. He had published
pamphlets about Colorado's bought
judiciary. He had delivered
speeches about the county's bribed
officials. He had shown up the
sale of senate seats, the franchise
thefts, the ballot stuffing and the
wholesale corruption of election.
And he had mentioned names and
dates.
81 don't mind his general talk. -
said the president of the telephone
monopoly, in discussing Lindsey.
He is at liberty to abuse our cor
poration if he wants to. But when
he mentions me, and says that I'm
to blame, then l object"
And SO this corporation chief,
one of the three corporation kings
of Denver, gave orders that Judge
Lindsey be left off both party
tickets. And it was so.
1.-The leaders of both parties take
advice from me-" boosted the presi
dent of the telephone monopoly.
my advice is influential" And he
might have added that the leaders
of both parties took money from
him, and that his money carried
influence of a sort.
So a couple of men of whom no
body ever heard were put on the
republican and democratic tickets.
And it was frankly conceded that
Denver's world famous juvenile
court was to come to an end.
That was the situation which
Judge Lindsey faced. The question
was what to do. To run as indie
pendent seemed hopeless. He had
the machines and money of both
great parties against him. He had
all the newspapers except the Den
yer Express against him. He had
to overcome a complicated ballot
law, and the overshadowing inter

SQUARE
FEET Of FINE

A bulletin issued this morning by

tee in charge of the Spokane apple
show gives the following compre.
hensive resume of the enormous
development of the exhibition pro-
ject since it was started a few
months ago largely as local af-

Entries received from several
foreign countries, as we'll as from
nearly every apple producing state
in the United States, has made the
national apple show, to be held in

will all be represented. Up to No

by 81 states in the United States.
There will be in all nearly $4,000
square feet of apples on display.
This will undoubtedly be the grand
est exposition of fruit ever made
anywhere. Every variety of apple
grown will be exhibited. Demon
STATIONS touching every line of the
apple industry will be made, and
every machine and implement in

cation.
The prizes at the national apple
show aggregate $4,000 dollars.
They include everything Of interest
to the apple grower. Cash, orchard
implements, nursery stock, medals
and diplomas comprise large part
Of the list. But more valuable than
these are IA orchard farms with
apple trees with which to set them
out.
In order to insure fair treatment
for every exhibitor, the matter of
Judging the contests has been left
entirely to judges of national repu-
tation of both the United States

less than one fare and a third with
first class tickets from all points
in the country.

WOMAN DENIES
KNOWLEDGE

Mrs. ]. Nj. Mcdonald was call
ed before Judge Sullivan in con-
tempt proceedings today on the
ground that she possessed knowl-
edge of the whereabouts of her
niece, Lois Mcdonald, who was
stolen away by her sister, Made
line, to keep her out of the par
ents' hands.
Mrs. Mcdonald testified that she
knew nothing as to the present
location of Lois Mcdonald or her
sister, Madeline Mcdonald; that
she was in no way aiding in Sc
GREETING the children and had no
hand in their mysterious disap-
pearance.
The fact developed in the exam
ination that the Mcdonald children
disappeared on Tuesday night of
last week instead of Wednesday
night, as testified to at the hear
ing before Judge Sullivan last
Monday.
Judge Sullivan is apparently in
no pleasant mood over the con-
tinued disappearance of the chill
dren and today said that someone
will be made to suffer if the chill
dren are not brought into court
soon.
Sheriff Pugh, who has placed the
case in the hands of his deputies,
said today that someone was aid
ing in secreting the children, and
that If one or two of the parties
connected with the case were
thrown into Jail the children would
soon be brought into court The
girl had previously threatened to
drown herself and little sister.
Attorney Stern, who is represent
ing the parents of the children in
their efforts to recover the young
er girl, says that no aspersions on
the character of Mrs. Mcdonald
were made in the divorce suit in
which she and her husband were
separated, and that the woman was
granted the divorce instead of the
husband.
