Finland

The Diet considered the day before
yesterday the motion brought in by
the Social Democrats. which aims at
the improvement of the position of the
Jews in Finland. 1t recalls medieval
conditions. When Finland fell into
Russian hands in 1909. the Films al
lowed the rescript dating from the
Swedish period to become law, where
by no Jews might dwell in this coun-
try. The relations with Russia led to
a considerable alteration in the actual
circumstances, inasmuch that an edict
issued in 1858 allowed retired Russian
soldiers to settle under certain condi-
tions, in Finland. Among these ex-
soldiers were many Jews and their
families, and in this way Finland OBJ
tanned its Jewish population, which
is principally restricted to Helsing.
fors, Abo, and Wiborg. The Finnish
authorities, however, made things as
unpleasant as possible for these inhab-
tants. In 1889, the Finnish senate de-
creed that all resident Jews must OBJ
tain, at a high fee. authorization to
remain; this authorization was for six
months. its renewal being dependent
on senatorial sanction. Many Jews
were. in course of time. relentlessly
expelled. Some thirty years ago, a
proposal was made in the Diet for the
alteration of these conditions, but
came to nothing owing to the opposi-
ton of the Old Finnish party. AS, at
the present moment, the Social Demo-
Gratis are the strongest party and may
reckon on the support of the Liberal
groups there is some prospect of the
Jewish question being satisfactorily
settled. The measure has been rele-
gated to the constitutional committee.
In the course of the debate, the leader
of the Old Finnish party, Yrj6-Kos-
kinen. said that the committee had
in the first instance to safeguard the
true welfare of the people. In all the
countries where the Jews had obtained
rights they had wrought untold harm.

A Study In Comparatives

There is a proverb which says that
a Greek is more counning than ten
Jews, and an Armenian more cunning
than ten Greeks. The saying may be

LAUNDRY
MERGED
POOR MANAGEMENT AND CUT
THROAT CON PETITION
FORCES SALE TO ANOTHER
INDEPENDENT CONCERN.

The union laundry has been alb
sorbed by the Inland Laundry Co.
and the cooperative fight against
the local trust has ended. The In
land establishment is independent
and is to employ union workers,
the crew of the cooperative laundry
having gone there to work.
The deal covers payment Of IL
per cent of the union stock taken
over, the unions to pay an indebt-
edness of $4,000 against the union
plant. This will probably be paid
out of the earnings on the stock
absorbed.
The management of the union
laundry up to the time H. Winde-
bank, of the carpenters union,
took hold of it, was the subject of
sharp criticism by committee ap-
pointed to audit accounts.
The committee concluded that
enough money had been taken in
for work to have made the coopera-
tive plan a success had 1t been
properly accounted for and eco
nomically used. No charges of
crookedness were made, but there
was evidence of careless handling
of cash according to the commit
tees report. Mr.. Windebank is
said to have had the business prac-
tically back to paying basis
when the consolidation with the In.
land was effected.
The union laundry had to meet
fierce competition with the laundry
trust, reductions of as high as %
per cent being made by the lat
ter to get business away from the
union establishment.

original itinerary, saying they have
to take the speakers as they are
sent. Thomas Maloney, congress
sional committeeman, is the man
blamed for leaving state speakers
of note out of Spokane. Whatever
may have been the reason, Mr.. Ma
loney has awakened suspicion in
various quarters that he is not at
tending to the Spokane end of the
campaign as 1t should be attended
to. There are a lot of people here
besides democrats that would like
to hear Goodyear this campaign as
well as Cotterill.
The latter is one of the most
energetic men of the state In re-
form movements, and is considered
one of the most convincing speak
ers. He challenged Jones to a de-
bate in the senatorship fight, but
Jones declined.

100000 OFF
ESTIMATES

II intend to make a fight for
reductions in department estimates
all along the line Tuesday night
when the council gathers in execu-
tive session." stated Councilman
Baldwin of the Second ward this
morning. II have been informed
that the amount of money If raised
on the present estimates would re-

want to cut this down to nine or 10
mills, an din order to do that we
must lop off approximately 100000
from the department estimates.
II am unable to say just what
departments will be cut or how
much they will be cut.

the matter yet, except at the few

some of us expressed ourselves to
a limited extent"

ROME, Oct. 19.-It is officially
announced today that the engage
ment of Duke Abruzzi to Katherine
Elkins is not broken and the duke
has wired the king he would con-

1t was reported last week that
the king informed the duke that
unless he gained the consent of
his brothers, Duke Aasta and
Count Turin, and the dowager
queen, the wedding would not be
permitted. Abruzzi gave up, but
changed his mind and Is deter
mined more than ever to wed the
girl.
The Elkins family has also been
quoted to the effect that no engage
ment exists and that Elkins wants
his daughter to marry an Ameri-

PATT|SON
HAS CHANCE
STATE DEMOCRATIC CHAIR
MAN WRIGHT COMES OVER
TO LOOK UP PROSPECTS IN
EASTERN PART OF STATE.

George P. Wright of Tacoma,
chairman of the democratic state
committee, came to Spokane this
morning to look over the political
situation in eastern Washington.
Mr. Wright says the outlook for
the democrats has greatly i'm
proved in the last ten days, and
thinks John Pattison stands a good
chance OF being elected governor.
''The late primary, because of a
lack of interest among candidates,
hurt the democrats as well as all
minority parties said Mr.. Wright.
1T has taken some time to recover
from its effects, but the recovery
has been made and the state and
national tickets are growing
stronger every day. If the national
committee had made the fight in
this state that 1t is making in New
York and Indiana nd other eastern
backgrounds, the state of Wash
ington would roll up a substantial
majority for Bryan.
THE election of John Pattison
for governor would not surprise
me, as / find that Pattison is MAX
ing a great race and is everywhere
making votes.
''Our greatest difficulty this year
is the lack of funds to make a
fight In the state. The situation as
you find 1t in this particular in
Spokane county is the same else
where over the state. All of the
funds raised have gone east for the
fight for the national ticket, leav-
ing the state, congressional and
county committees with practically
no money for the most necessary
campaign expenses. The only out
side speakers we have had so far
are Senator Gore, Congressman
Bell and George Fred Williams.
while we seem to have been
left to our own resources by the
national committee, the democracy
of the state of Washington will
nevertheless give good account
of itself, and there may be sur
prises in store for the people when
the results of November are civ
en- out"

CAME LONG WAYS
TO BE DIVORCED

Another blow in the abrupt ter
mination of the international ro-
nance of Agnes Thompson and
Charles b. Thompson was dealt to-
day when Agnes Thompson filed a
suit In the superior court against
her erstwhile husband to force the
return of money which he forcibly
borrowed from her, she says.
Thompson induced the woman to
come to Spokane from England.
They were married here and, ac-
cording to the complaint, he pro.
ceeded to get rid of what money
she had. He deserted her about a
year ago.
The complaint states that in Oc-
tober 10 of last year while she was
drawing some money from the
bank, Thompson stepped up to the
teller's window and grabbed $3.50.
She demanded its return, she
says, but he refused to disgorge

H|LLyARD MADE
BAD GUESS

BECAUSE a few of the merchants
of Hillyard protested against the
introduction of free city delivery
into that place for fear Spokane
would absorb the Hillyard town
corporation. the working people
and the citizens of the town in
general are to be deprived of the
benefits of city delivery when the
Spokane service Is to be extended
to the very doors of Hillyard on
November 1.
1t was proposed to make Hill
yard substation of the Spokane
postoffice, from which the carriers
for Cannondale, Lidgerwood, Ken
wood, Monroe Park and territory
west of Hillyard would be served,
Three city carriers would be given
to Hillyard proper, which with the
two for the district west and two
additional mail clerks, would make
seven more employees for the Hill
yard postoffice, whereas now they
will get none.
To accomplish this 1t would not
have been necessary for the town
of Hillyard to lose Its identity and
the Hillyard postofiice could still
retain Its distinctive title. But
some influential folks of Hillyard
saw in the move an effort to annex
them to Spokane, and as a result
sacrificed a most favorable oppor-
tunity to get on line with other
progressive cities of its class.
