members of the Legislature behind

"COWBOY PREACHER" HERE

Rev. Samuel G. Bettes, free
will Baptist parson, known the
country over as the cowboy
preacher" was In Spokane yester-
day looking up relatives here. He
returned to the coast last night in
tending to 60 to California and
later to Australia. For the past
Ave years he has been working in
the gulf states In the interests OF
temperance and religion generally.
In that tint the South has gone
prohibition.
b. Rev. Bettes became nationally ia
nous during the West Virginia coal
strike when he worked In company
with Mother Jones" In alleviating
the sufferings Of the miners. He
was included in the blanket injunc-

coal company, but when II was

BY JACOB WAlDECk

CHICAGO, June 13.-For many
years there was but one issue that
concerned the republicans of the
solid South and prompted them to
keep up the resemblance of an or
ganization. 1t was public office.
Now they are wrestling with a
new and more serious problem. 1t
Is the elimination of the negro.
Less than dozen years ago the
lilly white" movement, which
meant control by the whites, made
its appearance. 1t was not given
encouragement by the republicans
in the North. They had no race
problem on their hands and they
had little patience with complaints
of conditions in Dixie. Not that
they cared so much for the welfare
of the colored men down South,
They feared that discrimination
would cause the negroes in the
North to desert the party, and per
haps result in the loss of doubtful
states.
Despite the attitude of the
northerners, however, the southern
republicans have shown steadily
growing disposition to draw the
color line. This year they have
gone further than ever before.
1t has been the contention of
southern republicans that II ne
gro control could be removed they

too jealous In the cause against
the miners the court made no
further effort to enforce this par
ticular order and Rev. Bettes was
permitted to talk, a rare privilege
at that time and place.
While holding meeting In Louis.
vile. KY, Rev. Bettes noticed the
celebrated Col. Watterson In the
audience and invited him to speak,
The colonel complied, stating that
there was no room on earth for
drunkenness, but at the same time
combating prohibition.
The cowboy preacher" earned
his title honestly by putting in six
years on the Texas ranges. Since
his wife died he has worked about
the country on his own hook and
as he expresses 1t, has had lots of
fun. He Is big sunshiney man,
full of humor and evident sincere
purpose.
One of the first questions he ask
ed about Spokane was how does
1t happen that all the magnificent
water power of this city is monop-
olized by one corporation. He
seemed TO be OF the impression
that the Creator had not made IL
especially and exclusively for the
financial benefit of the w. w. p.
Co, but he, of course, must be
visionary on some points.

KICKERS HAND CITY
HALL HEAVY JOLTS

Some characteristic kicks were
registered by the Kickers' club. of
the First ward last night. The
club goes after things rough-shod,
somewhat after this fashion: 1t
appointed Messrsh Whitmore and
Maloney a committee to have the
sand sidewalk placed by the Dag
gett-Gill-McIntyre ring" removed
and replaced by cement. The Ma
loney, by the way, is Thomas, dem
ocrat and not exactly deadly en-.
envy OF Daggett.
Then the club went into discus
sion of the torpid state of affairs
at the city hall and the upshot of
that was the appointment of r. A.
Hutchinson and J. w. White to con-
fer with the park commission re-
garding the placing Of swings and
hobby horses In the children's play
grounds at Liberty park for the eX-
elusive use Of city officials. The
kickers reasoned that the city Of
ficials might as we'll swing, as they
have nothing else to do, apparent
ly, and that they must have used
up all the city hall hobbies by this
time. And this wasn't all.
A resolution was passed request
ing the police department to sta
ton an officer at the corner of
Eighth and Helena to stop the

ONO LASTED
/ ONE MINUTE

The seven republican members
OF sithe city council following the
franeup against Commissioner ].
T.. ONO, met last night and in less
than one minute deposed ONO and
substituted w. w. Witherspoon.
The three democratic councilmen,
Funk, Baldwin and Gray, were not
ON hand to witness the execution.
ONO was not there.
Just how the necessary votes to
fire ONO were secured would make
interesting reading. It is claimed
that the stubborn councilmen who
refused to fall in line with the
plan were threatened, but to what
extent they will not say Each one,
Dalke. Lambert and Schiller, form
er ONO supporters, maintained
that they only gave in when they
saw there was no longer any hope.
ONO is not in the city today. Last
night he announced that now, since
relieved of the cares of his office,
he was going fishing and would not
be back until Monday, at which
time he will move"

GIRL NOT SURE
Of THREAT

Esther North, the girl who e. T.
Montgomery is accused of running,
this morning was recalled by the
defense after the states case was
reopened last night for the purpose
of eliciting further information that
was not hitherto brought out. The
girl, pale and red-eyed from CON
slant weeping, testified that Prose
cutor Pugh had threatened her that
he was going to send her mother.
Mrs, May North, to the peniten-
tiary for alleged relations with
Montgomery.
On cross examination by Mr..
Pugh this testimony was shaken
to the extent that Pugh had stated
that he was going to send Mrs.
North to the penitentiary and that
Esther had only considered it a
threat.
MIR. Pugh declared that Attorney
Birdseye's continual returning to
the subject Of alleged threats was
like dog returning to its vomit.
Theh court prevented a heated re-
ply which Birdseye started to
make.
Following the closing OF both the
prosecution and defense yesterday
a physical examination Of the girl
was held by DR.. Witter and the
state reopened its case to introduce
the evidence. This morning the
girl stated on the witness stand

EVIDENCE OFFERED
FOR ANDERSON

The preliminary hearing of A. E.
Anderson, the Merchants police
man who Is charged with burglar
izing Jim Papais' cigar store on
Sprague av., was continued this
morning. The state introduced the
testimony of Police Chief Rice,
Capt. Coverly and Sergeant Nc
Phee to show that the Greek had
informed them practically along the
same lines as he testified yester-
day: Anderson entered the door
with a passkey, apparently put his
hand in the cigar case, ratified
some change and was confronted
by the Greek and his companion.
Ed Miller, the saloonman at the
entrance of whose ginmill the
Greeks cigarstore is, testified that
when he closed his saloon he tried
the door and was sure 1t was
locked.
This afternoon the defense will
introduce James Boult. lock expert,
to show that the lock was defective
and would not lock securely, where
fore Anderson entered to make
sure no burglars were inside.
A list of 227 places which were
found open by Anderson and re-
ported to police headquarters will
also be introduced. At some Of
these places 1t is claimed Anderson
could have stolen thousands Of
dollars worth of money and valu-
ables, were he SO inclined.

LEFT DOOR OPEN
FOR BURGLAR

The Spokane Paint & OIL Co.
was burglarized about o'clock
this morning and $50 which was
concealed in sack was stolen.
The police were informed by peo-
pie at the Madison hotel that some
one had broken into the place. A
patrol load of police hurried to the
scene.
While Willis and Berto guarded
the alleys, Merchants Policeman
Overmiller entered the front door.
He made the mistake of not lock.
ing the door after him. Following
his entrance people watching from
the hotel windows saw the burglar
come out the front door and escape
down the railroad track. They
gave the warning, but the thief got
away.

The secretary was instructed to

The request is made on the DEM
