HOWARD DISMISSED
ON FIRST CHARGE

j. w. Howard, the merchants po-
liceman accused of beating May
Reed, was discharged in Justice
Manns court yesterday. Arthur
Davis, Miss Reeds attorney, told
the court that several efforts had
been made at times to secure war
rants against Howard. Deputy
Prosecutor Kizer was called from
the courthouse and interorgated
about Davis assertion and admitted
that was true and stated that the
Reed woman had not told him at
the time that Howard gave her a
beating, but that he was bothering
her and flashed his dark lantern
in at her window at nights.
Howard denied he assaulted
Miss Reed He is still to face
hearing before Judge Hyde on Miss
Reeds application that he be
placed under a peace bond.

FORSAKEN
VICTIM OF LIFE OF HARDSHIP
AND DRINK, MARY McDON-
AID GOES TO THE COUNTY
FARM At THREE SCORE.

"Over the hills to the poor
house" for poor Mary Mcdonald,
age So, who last night appealed to
the police for place to sleep.
Mary Mcdonald is an unfortunate
specimen Of humanity shIpwrecked
by drink. She has been in court
more times for drunkenness than
perhaps any other person In tho
city. Tho poor old woman has been
addicted to the habit 90 long there
are little hopes Of reforming her.
Usually she can earn a living
taking In washing or helping
around cheap restaurants, but at
last hardship and alcohol have
broken her down, and now she Is
unable to work If she gets a
chance.
She was born In Canada, but
does not remember when 1t was
she came to Spokane. Her husband
died eyars ago, leaving her child
less. She took to drink soon after
his death.
This morning she was sent to
the county jail to await meeting
Of the commissioners, who will
send her to the poor farm at
SpangIe.

SPOKANE SCHOOL FIRE ESCAPES Will LOOK LIKE THIS

When Spokane's school fire es-
capes are installed they will resem-
BILE the escapes shown in the illus
tration, which is a pattern now in
place on a Cleveland school. Es-
capes are now almost completed on
the southside high school, and Sec
rotary E. A. Thomas of the school
board, this morning stated that
those for the other schools will be
shipped from Portland this week.
1t will probably be in December
before all schools are properly
equipped.
The contractors have been urged
to hasten the work and have prom
Used to put large force on the
job as soon as the escapes reach
the city. The equipment of the
high school is most complete, es-
capes lining the south, east and
west sides. On the south heavy
platform has been extended from
the stairways directly onto the
street, which on account of an
ascent is on line with the second
story.
AS soon as the work is COM
pleted fire drills will be practiced
under direction of Fire Chief Myers
for the purpose of accustoming
pupils to the escapes. Regular fire
drills have been practiced in the
past, but as there were no escapes
the pupils became accustomed only
to the stairs and Railways. Com
plete reorganization of the drills
is necessary for escapes.
The high school escapes, which
are the model to be used on all
schools, are entered through hall
doors, and corridors line the build
ing onto which pupils may escape
through windows. These corridors
lead to the stairs which reach the
ground.
The equipment differs from the
Cleveland plan in that instead of
being built eight feet out from the
wall it is built flush with the sides
of the building.

HERE'S DEMOCRAT
WAR SONG

Here is a campaign song the
young democrats have evolved to
be sung by a quartet at the Gore
meeting tonight or at any other
time that seems safe. The identity
of the author is hidden, but there
are said to be two of him. 1t fol-
lows to tune that will be instant
ly recognized:
Bill Taft he Is a handy man,
He walks around all day.
Roosevelt rises every morn and
Tells him what to say.
He tells him how to dot his is
And how to cross his is,
And how to write tariff speech
Just so that it will please.
CHORUS.
Everybody works but the magnates
and they lay around all day.
When Billy Bryan is elected he'll
put them pitching hay.
The farmer works at his harvest,
and so does the hired hand;
Everybody works in the nation, but
the CRATER man.
And when he writes a great big
speech,
No matter where he be,
He hikes right down to Sycamore
To let Mars Teddy see.
He's famous for Injunction
Against the working man.
He boasts about the dinner pail,
Which is an empty can.
There Is Billy from Nebraska;
He is every inch a man.
He'll fry the fat from big Bill Taft
To fill that empty can.
He stands for bank deposits,
And equal rights to all,
And each and every interest
Shall bow before the law.
