WANTS $4,000 FROM
COWLES PAPER 1 4

The case of e. F. Quinn against
the Review Publishing Co. for $780,
900 damages for libel. is still being
holly contested before a jury in
Judge Sullivan's court. The plain
tiff finished his introduction of evil
dence yesterday afternoon, and the
defendants witnesses were being
heard today. 4
Quinn asks damages because Of
being charged with grating in two
editorials in the Review. The newb-
paper is trying to justify it's posi-
ton. by showing irregularities h
the city sidewalk inspection depart
ment, at the head of which was
Quinn until his dismissal by tile
board of public works last June.
Quinn says the Review will NIT
show anything dishonest connected
with his official relations with the
city, and it is this charge that he
is suing on. %

PESTER COUNTY'S
ONLY "CHINK"

PRINEVILLE, Ore, Noy. 1S.-
The only Chinaman in Crook
county, imported about two weeks
ago to do the laundry work at the
Prineyille hotel, is being annoyed
these nights by young hoodlums,
who gather and throw stones at
the window of his bedroom, in "a
small room on the second floor of
an old building back of the hotel
John Chinaman has threatened to
shoot the next white man who
comes in sight armed with a rock,
and matters are likely to grow seri-
GUS unless the city marshall inter-
feres. The white boys seem deter
mined to drive the Celestial out of
town, but the hotel management is
urging him to remain.

DR.. ALLEN SAYS
NOTHING
MERELY BANGS THE PHONE
WHEN ASKED FOR STATE
MENT ON SCHOOL SUPPLY
PURCHASE CHARGES.

DR.. HI. w. Allen, when called by
The Press this morning. respond
ed by hanging up the receiver with
a bang. The Press wanted to ask
the doctor about the charges that
Ware Bros, of which firm he is a
member, has sold supplies to the
Spokane school board. of which
DR.. Allen is also a member and
president, contrary to state law.
But the doctor didn't wait to
hear what The Press wanted
Since facts and figures in the case
had been given, the doctor evil
IDENTIFY had nothing to say.
Request for the doctors version
of the school charges would have
been made sooner but for the fact
that since the doctor has closed
his Office ne is rather hard to
locate.
Citizens who are interested in
the investigation expect after to-
day to have the case in shape to
go ahead. There is no personal
animosity 4. expressed against DR..
Allen, who is popular lodge man.
Another member of the board is
suspected of not being any too
cautious in respect to selling goods
to the district.

X-RAY REVEALS
NEEDLE IN
FOOT

In the suit of Mrs. Harriet A.
Tucker against Nose Oppenheimer
for $4,000 damages for injuries to
the plaintiff because of being run
over by Oppenheimer's automobile,
the defendant, by order of Judge
Huneke, was last night required to
submit her injured right foot to an
X-ray examination by DR.. w. w.
Potter, an expert.
To the great surprise of Mrs.
Tucker, it was found that her dis
ability was due to a.needle in her
foot between the first and second
toes, which had evidently been in
her foot for years. The needle
stood recent and hda worked it's
way to within an eighth of an inch
of the skin.
This morning Mrs. fuckers at
torneys compromised the case by
the nominal payment of $3.50, as
they saw 1t was useless in face of
the verdict of the X-ray to further
prosecute their suit.
Mrs. Tucker does not know when
the needle entered her foot. 1t
gave her no pain until her contact
with the automobile. She says she
will not hav 1t removed.

SOLDIER REFUSES TO
PULVERlZE ROCK

Prisoners who receive SEN
fences on the rockpile must earn
their feed by the sweat of their
brows and no exception will be
made in the case of Allan McKin-
non, a soldier who was sentenced
yesterday by Justice Mann to serve
20 days on the rockpile.
McKinnon tried to organize an
attacking force when Patrolman
Phelan arrested a man on Main
avenue several days ago. He cursed
the officers when he himself was
arrested. Justice Mann in passing
sentence said he should be
ashamed to wear the uniform of
the army.
McKinnon went to work on the
rockpile this morning with the rest
of the changing. This afternoon
he refused to go out with them and
was locked up in 49," the
gloomiest cell in the jail. Chief
Rice was notified and this after
noon will put it up to the soldier
to either work or subsist on bread
and water. Usually after a day on
the homely diet they are glad to
work

SO-CALLED LAZZESTMAN
MARTYR TO a REPUTA TON

MELVILLE, N. J., Nov. 49,
Death ended the career OF Richard
Simmer, long known as the 'lazi.
est man in Millville," but with his
death comes the announcement
from physicians who attended him
that the unfortunate man had been
grossly misrepresented.
Simmer could not be induced to
work. He, said he felt too tired.
Efforts to have him do something
for the support of his wife and Ave
small children were unavailing. His
little ones went out to beg and the
authorities caused his arrest. It
was no use. He simply could not
be induced to reform, and he was
sent to jail. That accomplished
nothing, for when the man emerged
the situation was not improved.
Once. not long ago, charitably-
inclined residents who wanted to
do something for the suffering fam
lily, sent Simmer load of wood.

TRACT INDEX IS
TENDER POINT

Nothing worse than apparent
harmony prevailed last evening at
the Spokane county legislative
delegation caucus in the chamber
OF commerce, but it was judged
necessary to hold another session
Saturday evening. Nothing definite
was accomplished on organizing in
support Of candidate for speaker,
the tract index question having put
damper on the boom for Slayden
OF Pierce county. State Senator
Rosenhaupt is suspected on the
outside of being the man largely
responsible for this. He couldn't
understand why the state senators
should be vitality interested in the
selection of speaker of the lower
house. Jesse Huxtable, newly
elected to the senate. is as much
concerned apparently as If he were
still a member Of the house, and
seems to have local charge of the
Slayden boom. Slayden happened,
by coincidence, of course, to be
handily In town when Huxtable
called a meeting to line up on the
speakership. Rosenhaupt is said
to have pointed out in the course
of this session that the forces fight
ing the tract index bill were evil
IDENTIFY deeply concerned in the Sc
lection of Slayden as speaker.
For this reason the speakership
was a delicate subject yesterday.
although Huxtabie presided over
the meeting. Spokane county was
the only county in the state main
tanning indexes from which titles
could be looked up at little ex-
pense. Since the indexes were
knocked out by a decision of the
supreme court holding that no law
exists providing the necessary ap-
preparation for keeping up the in
dexes at county expense, a steady
movement has been kept on for
the passage of a law authorizing
such expense. This law came with
in two votes of passing at the last
session, and L. P. Hornberger, who
defeated it, has been beaten for re-
election, but he is credited with
being an active agent to defeat the
law still, although he disclaims any
financial interest in the abstract
trust now dominant in Spokane.
This combine controls all the
county records, having purchased
the tract indexes for a song from
the county commissioners.
The significance of a choice of
speaker from the Spokane county
standpoint, if the index matter be-
comes an issue, is that while a
senator can send bill he intro
duces to any committee he desires,
the speaker of the house assigns
bills to committees, regardless of
the wishes of the member intro
ducing it. His choice of committee
might or might not be friendly to
the bill.
