WON'T ENDORSE
ANY CANDIDATE

According to a Seattle dispatch
friends OF Senator Ankeny hope the
coming convention of the State Fed.
Grafton of Labor will endorse An
keny's candidacy for reelection to
the United States senate.A 1t is re-
ported that plans have been laid to
secure the support of number OF
labor leaders.
Local labor men state that they
do not expect the coming conven-
ton to go on record for any parti-
cular candidate for United States
senator. They contend that for the
convention to- endorse Ankeny
would do more to injure his cam
'paign, and labor, than to aid him.
1t is well known that Mr.. Ankeny is
one OF the wealthiest men In the
state and to endorse him would
lead many to believe that he had
been able to buy up the conven. or
enough of the convention to ensure
him a majority. According to dele
gates from this city 1t is probable
that II an attempt Is made to en-
dorse Senator .Ankeny 1t will be
quickly smothered.

passed and the defendants. have
lost. standing on appeal. If any
other recourse is left the saloon
men 1t is one with which the or.
binary citizen or lawyer has no ac-
quaintance. Attorney Nuzum, for
the defendants, held in open court
Monday that the saloon men were
back before Judge Hinkle for furth-
err disposal, and only the reluctance
of the city attorney and the court
to take up the cases at that time
prevented final action.
Meanwhile, in the opinion of Cor
poration Counsel Hamblen, express
ed at meeting yesterday in Mayor
Moore's office, the saloon men are
now serving time, because, when
the appeals were dismissed and the
saloon men gave themselves up and
offered to go to jail, they were from
that time in the hands Of the po-
lice authorities. Thus, according
to the corporation counsel, the sa-
loon men will by Friday have
served five days of their time with
out ever being near the city Jail or
deprived of liberty. Each Of the 218
saloon men were fined SIS. At the
rate Of 81 for each day of confine-
ment In jail $40 of the fine has
been served out. Although the
men have not served time in Jail,
1t is argued that they are entitled
to the time consumed since Mon
day morning. This doctrine APP
piled to all cases would eliminate
jails entirely and render judicial
procedure useless.
But attorneys differ in their
opinions as to this. c. G. Pence,
who represents the Law Enforce
ment league, contends that no time
Is being served because the statutes
state that the culprits must be
confined" one day for each 81 of
the fine imposed.
Is this all joke, or what Is 1t?

new PLAN FOR
SUNDAY LID

Councilman Estep has scheme
to regulate the saloons whereby he
proposes to repeal the Sunday clos.
ing ordinance and substitute a new
measure putting the lid on saloons
alone at midnight Saturdays and
leaving 1t on until $50 Monday
morning. He intends to submit
such an ordinance to the council.
Estep's object is to accomplish
Sunday saloon closing, but leave
amusements and necessary places
of business open. The present or
dinance makes no distinction If
fully enforced.
1t has developed that the Sunday
saloon closing movement has no
little support among the bartenders.
who are now compelled to work
seven days week except when
they can find a substitute or the
proprietors take their places. They
want one day off. but can't support
the move openly without risking
their Jobs,

City Attorney Adds Complication to
Sunday Closing Middle.

The disposition apparent in Ger.
tain quarters to muddle the Sunday
saloon closing cases and bring the
whole matter to fiasco Is being
continued in spite CT an, express
statement by Judge Sullivan that
his dismissal Of the appeals on mo-
ton Of the saloon mems attorneys
sends the cases back to Police
Judge Hinkle tor further action on
the penalties inflicted by that court
and from which the appeals were
taken.
The Spokesman-Review daily
cites courthouse attorneys" by

Ing Attorney Barnhart's Office. In
support Of It's theory that the ruling
of the superior court dismissed all
action against the saloon men on
motion of their own counsel with
out the prosecution having had a
chance to be heard.
Such position amounts to a
species of contempt of court in that,
II taken seriously, 1t would hold
Judge Sullivan's bench up to ridi-
Guile and would brand the city
prosecutors either as incompetents
or openly in league with the de-
tense.
The cases are now back to Judge
Hinkle for action on the course
adopted by the saloon men in be-
Ing surrendered by their bondsmen
and In refusing to pay the fines the

will take this matter up Friday. I'm
der the law, as interpreted in all
cases of violation of statute,
nothing further, apparently, re-
mains but to commit the defen-
dants to Jail to serve out their
fines. Whether the saloon men
will actually submit to prison in
preference to paying fines remains
to be seen.

mates Of the dividend and inter
est payments to be made today are
found to have overshot the mark
by nearly S$15 100000. A compila-
ton just made places the, amount
of the payments at $1S5, 900 900.
Last January they amounted to
$3.50. 000,0 900.
The increase of $5,000,0 900 in IA
vor Of January, 1908, is due to the
payment of interest on the large
amounts of bonds and other securi-
ties fioated during the year.
Dividends on stock are smaller
than a year ago by $1,200,000. The
decrease would be larger, but for
the fact that the panic came near
the end OF the year.
Thirty companies have passed or
deferred dividends, and 20 have re.
duced their dividend payments.
