REPUBLICAN MAYOR
CAN'T CAN DENIS,

TACOMA, April 10. Mayor
Lincks efforts to transfer the spells
of city Office has hit a snag in a
civil service amendment to the
charter putting the fire, engineer
ing and water and light depart
ments under civil service rule. The
new mayor announced the appoint
ment of a republican fire chief and
intended to name a city engineer
from his party. The democratic
incumbents intend to hang onto
their Jobs Under the amendment
they can be discharged only by rea'
son of stated offenses and then
upon a two thirds vote of the city
council.

NOT TOO CRAZY TO
GET HIM A WIFE

CANTON, O., April 13.-Prof. Os-
car Lowell Tpigg, who won consid-
cradle notoriety while member OF
the faculty of the University of Chi
cage by saying that John D. Rookie
Teller was a greater man than
Shakespeare, was married to Miss
Addie Beall Cox, 26 years old, at
Turlock, Cal. This is of interest
because Triggs was known as an
advocate of free love.
Miss Beall's parents live at Can
ton. Last August Triggs was di
vorced from his wife and at thai
time his declarations in favor Of
free love were made. The new Mrs
Triggs was a pupil of Triggs while
student at Chicago, and since
then has been interested in settle
ment work in the East.

Special Correspondence to The Press.

NEW YORK, April 13.-The VIM.
Reed Hollow Earth Exploring club
has just been incorporated. The
purpose of this strange organiza-
ton is to prove by experiment that
the earth is hollow and that such a
thing as north or a south pole
does not exist.
1t is the theory of the men plan
ming the trip to the inside of the
earth that there's hole where the
north pole ought to be. By means
of balloons, submarine boats, gyro-
scopes and high explosives they ex-
pect to slip over the edge of the
earth's crust into the inside of the
shell and there find continents and
kingdoms yet unseen.
The executive committee of the
club has talked of two starting
points for their explorations. One
is in Norway and the other in
Greenland. Roy Knahenshue, the
aeronaut. has been asked to take
charge of the balloon experiments.
VIM. Reed, the former insurance
man who heads the club, says it is
prepared to spend $1,500,000.
Its time for action now-not a
time for mere talking" said Reed
when seen at his home. But the
earth is hollow and our investiga
tons will soon prove it. The poles
so long sought are but phantoms
There are openings at the southern
and northern extremities of the
earth. In the interior are vast con
tinents, oceans, mountains and riv
ers. Vegetable and animal life is
evident in this new world. And il
is possibly peopled by races yet un
known by jewellers on the earth's
surface"
Our equipment is to be nothing
but the best" said w. S. Rookey
the business manager. I'VE shall

COUNTESS A BURGLAR

NICE, April 13.-Following a Sc
ries of the most daring hotel rob-
berries, the police have captured a
countess and accused her of being
the burglar.
Strong boxes of hotels and the
guests rooms have been suffering
for months from the depredations
of cunning thief. The police fol-
lowed clew that led to the apart
ments of the Countess Monteil in
the Cite Gaillard in Paris. Here
they arrested the woman. In her
rooms they found gold and notes to
the amount of 1000 francs and
jewels worth 10000 francs. The
woman Is we'll known character
on the Riviera.

submarines, subletting the con
tracts to the Fore River Ship
building Co.
| The boat company. capitalized
for $S,000,000, had seven attorneys
at different times lobbying in Wash
| ington. These attorneys often man
aged to draw up motions and bills
to be later reported by the naval
affairs committee. They were thus
able to have the committee recon-
menjations so worded that all COM
petition was shut out.
Lilley filed with the committee
series of letters which he said
were genuine. between c. E.
Creecy, attorney for the boat
company in 1896, and former Sena
tor Butler, of South Carolina,
which shows the system of pro-
cedure in procuring prominent
men as lobbyists. The following
is sample letter from Creecy to
Butler:
Il inclose herewith copy of a
letter from John T. Holland Tor
pSuO Dual W. tHdlllC ldtCi
changed to Electric Boat Coz to
the chairman of the committee on
naval affairs of the senate, asking
for an amendment providing for
six Holland submarine boats at a
cost of not exceeding $4,000
each, and hereby associate your
firm with me In the matter, and in
consideration of your services
promise to pay you the sum of
81 500 on each boat under this bill
that is contracted for by the navy
department, this lee of $4,000 on
each boat being contingent upon
the price bein gpaid our company
of $150,000.
'If the price paid our company
be more than this amount, your
fee is to be increased proportion
ately, and, if the amount paid our
company be less than $150,O00,
your fee is to be diminished pro-
portionately."
Former Senator Butler admitted
on the stand during the pres
ent investigation that he was at
one thine counsel for the boat
company, but took exception to
the charge he did any lobbying"
He was unable to recall definitely
how much money the boat company
had paid him.

weapons. He was fined only 500.
Puren is only big boy. He was
out of work and had no money or
friends. He became hungry and
saw only one way to prevent him
self from starving. Surrounded on
every side by plenty, there was
none upon whom he could call for
the paltry few cents which it
would have taken to stop that hor-
rible feeling of emptiness in his
stomach.
He left note giving his name
and stating that he took the milk
because he was starving. He then
gave himself up. 1t is presumed
that this is what he was really pun
ished for. He had never been ar
rested before.

HERE'S WHAT THEY EXPECT
TO FIND AT THE NORTH POLE


use HOLLAND boats, dirigible bal
looms, wireless telephone and tele-
graph and the gyroscope-in fact
anything that will be of value"
The gyroscope is to be used in
place of compass for the reason
that the compass has been proven
unreliable by previous explorers.
John P. Holland, inventor of the
submarine, and Hiram Maxim, the
maker of explosives, have been
asked for their opinions on the ex-
petition. Holland believes his boat
can operate under ice, and Maxim
says it can be liberated by the use
of nitrogelatin.

SUSPECTS CAPTURED

Dan w. Downer and Orville Con-
ners, believed to be safe blowers,
were arrested at Hatton, Wash,
yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Lyle
and last night were lodged in Jail
here for safekeeping. They answer
descriptions of the men who some
time ago blew a safe at Coulee
City. Downer has long been sus-
pected of mixing in these things,
and several times has been taken
up on suspicion but afterwarl re-
leased. At Hatton yesterday some
dynamite, revolver and overcoat
were found in the bushes, and
Downer, it is claimed, owned the
revolver. He denies the charge.

PUT IN PUMP PLANT

The Commonwealth Land Co. is
installing a pumping plant at Wash

The county commissioners have es-
tablished a short road to run
through the park and a force OF

This will make short cut to town.
Washington Park is three and one
half miles from Howard and River
side on the Medical Lake line.
Many of the people who have

THE USUAL REMINDER

1t is apparently an easy
matter for a reader to sit
down and write out his ideas
on some subject that seems
to need a dark brown roast
ing, but it is usually an i'm
possibility for the same
writer to sign his or her
name to the communication.
Whereupon it becomes ex-
ceedingly simple matter for
the editor to drop the name
less production in the waste
basket. What the average
reader thinks makes up the
public sentiment that gov
ems this country. But it is
not an anonymous form of
4. government. Neither is the
newspaper business legiti-
mately conducted on that
principle.
