last March. and the failure upon the
part of the city council to insist upon
the enforcement of its provisions, has
been the subject of much comment by
the citizens and business men of the
city for some time. and they have
long contemplated taking some action
In the matter. They feel that their
rights In this matter have not been
protected, but have been completely
trampled upon and ignored. and fully
realize that from the attitude taken
by the city's chief executive upon
this matter no steps will be taken TO
protect their rights as against the
violations OF the company until com
PEELED to do so by appropriate action
taken by them. They are now de-
termined to see TO II that action is
taken and intend invoking every legal
method known to the end that both
the council and company are made
to live up to the requirements of the
law on the ordinance books and fin
the statutes OF the state. The sign
ers of the petition are composed of
representative citizens and business
men OF the town. and this afternoon
liz signers had been secured, and
large number more is expected to be
obtained before the circulation OF the
petition is at an end.

Mrs. Mark McClammy. who was
fatally shot by her husband, who
after shooting her committed suicide
by shooting himself, in Spokane sun
day afternoon, died yesterday after
noon at 4:4S o'clock In her room at
the Pedicord hotel.
The end came peacefully. A few
hours before death came she revived
from the state OF coma into which
she had fallen shortly after the
tragedy. Her little boy and girl, who
shortly after the tragedy had been
taken TO the Salvation Army bar
racks to be cared and provided for,
expressed a desire to visit their
mother and were again brought in.
Upon their entrance Mrs. McClammy
did not observe them, nor afterward,
until the little girl offered her mother
an orange which she had brought for
her. After a brief visit the two chill
dren We're taken away and she was
again left alone with her attendants.
She fully realized that the end was
near, but made no statement to those
surrounding her during the closing
hours OF her existence relative to the
trouble that had precipitated the
tragedy. Neither did she make any
statement to them concerning the
care and provision to be made for the
little girl and boy who were soon to
be left motherless as well as father
less, nor uttered any word OF censure
or blame against the man who had
taken her as well az his own life.
She made but one request prior TO
the coming OF death, saying: II
know the end is near, and under no
circumstances is my body to be
buried with that OF my husband"
After this statement she again re-
lapsed into state OF unconscious
ness. and shortly afterward passed
away peacefully and serenely, aud
the last work OF Mark McClammy.
the gambler. murderer and suicide,
was complete.
The body was taken to the under
taking parlors OF Buchanan and de-
posted In the same room with that
OF her husband. The dying request
OF the woman is to be respected and
she will be given a separate funeral
and a separate grave.
Wife Feared Death.
From facts developing after the
tragedy II Is learned that the wife
had feared death at the hands OF the
husband, and that Il was because OF
this that she procured rooms AT the
Pedicord. where she could be sur
rounded by friends. Facts have also
developed which indicate that Nc
Clammy had deliberated for some
time over the commission OF the
crime. and that he had intended not
only to murder the woman and then
kill himself. but also had intended TO
take the lives OF her attorneys in this

LEWISTON, Idaho, Feb. 25.-In
banding down the decision in the IA

supreme court effectually closes
every saloon on the Nez Perez Indian

An Appleton man who was among

the bear and cub remained on the

when the engine men climbed from
the cab and threatened TO drive the
animals. The only move they made
then was TO walk toward the men In o

TAFT'S BROTHER
HENRY IN YEAR
COT S11,872
FIRST OF HIS THREE JOBS FOR
THE GOVERNMENT WAS IN
CONNECTION WITH A PHILIP
PINE CONCESSION.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2S.-The rec
ords OF the department OF justice show
that Henry w. Taft was on the pay
roll OF the department OF Justice while
his brother. william n. Taft. was head
or the war department. He was one
OF the large galaxy OF special attor-
neys hired to prosecute the trusts.
Tobacco was his speciality.
According TO the records he receiv.
ed $11,s72s0 within less than a year.
Some OF II was paid as reimbursement
for expenses incurred and some an
salary.
His first employment was on Jan.
20. 1905. during the height OF the ne
gotiations for the Philippine railroad
concessions. The second bidding for
the concessions, at which Speyer &
Co. won. was on Jan. 20. 1905, fvo
days before Mr.. Taft war employed.
His compensation was to be deter
mined by the attorney-general, but
$1,000 was given him as retainer.
That employment lasted until April
18, 1905, when ne received $672.80 as
expenses.
On Dec. /, 1905. he was again en-
ployed at a stipend to be determined
by the encouragement on completion
OF the service. The allowance on that
occasion, on July 2, 1906, wae $4,000
as salary. with no expense allowance.
On July 2, 1906. the third and last
employment OF Mr.. Taft was begun,
and that time, too, he was dependent
upon the good will OF the attorney
general for his compensation. The
employment lasted until Jan. 81, 1907.
Mr.. Bonaparte had by that time be-
come the head OF the department OF
justice and payment was more liberal.
First he got $1,000 as salary, then he
got $1,000, and finally 5000 as ex-
penses, making In all the total above
stated.
There Is no explanation In the rec.
ord Of why Mr.. Taft was shifted
around from one Job to another.

Small Audience Greets
New York Orchestra

The opening concert Of the Detroit
Orchestral association series took
place Tuesday evening In the Light
Guard armory, the New York Sym
phony orchestra, under the direction
of Walter Damrosch, presenting the
program. Although the sale OF sea.
son tickets had been satisfactory. the
audience was not as large az was ex.
pected or hoped by the public spirited
Detroiters who are responsible for
bringing these big orchestras to this
city. The New York orchestra is be-
lieved by many well-known music low
ers and critics to be the peer OF any
like organization In the country and
the tickets have been placed at such
a price that students and patrons OF
music may attend. However, 1t Is
said that many people have not yet
returned to town and that the other
concerts will undoubtedly receive the
patronage and encouragement they
deserve.
Mr.. DamroscI always provides q
program that is pleasing and diversi-
fled enough to satisfy all tastes. The
First Symphony" by Beethoven
opened the program and was given q
delightful Interpretation by the Or
.chestra.@ The-big number was decid-
eddy satisfying and while. naturally,
it has not the marks of popularity
about 1t of some of the later offerings,
il might be repeated again and again
and still give the auditor something
new, something uplifting.
Mr.. Damrosch's admiration for De-
busy was again demonstrated In the
rendition of The Afternoon OF the
Faun." which has an air of romanti-
cism about 1t that Is delightful. An
extra number was a short, but wholly

n. Y. Post Says Sherman
Charges Can't Be Ignored

NEW YORK. Oct. 2S.-The Evening
Post says editorially:
1.-The Worlds revelations in regard
to Congressman Sherman are so de-
tailed as to make 1t impossible for M.
Sherman or the Republican managers
to overlook them. The charge Is that
Mr.. Sherman, with Los Angeles law
yer, Edmund Burke. and several othei
persons, conspired to obtain 100000
acres OF New Mexico land by means OF
several thousand individual applica
lions signed by brewery employees In
Milwaukee; that to grease the ways
for the launching of this fraudulent
scheme they paid $500 to two members
of the New Mexico land board and
s., 900 to its third member. Gov. Otero.
subsequently, the individual appli-
cation method proving unsatisfactory
and dangerous because Of the suborna-
ton OF perjury It involved, 1t IL
charged that Congressman Sherman
prepared and had passed by the house
a bill making II possible for New Mex
leo to sell land In large quantities, thus
drawing and passing legislation to
beneft himself pecuniarily.
ut Is In this feature Of the case that
the Worlds story seems most nearly to
affect Mr.. Sherman. II 1t Is suscep-
tible of proof. Mr.. Sherman's vice
presidential candidacy becomes a dis-
grace to the Republican party. Every
candid man will reserve judgment
until Mr.. Sherman 10 heard from. II Is
undeniable, however, that the gross
blunder made at Chicago In placing
Mr.. Sherman on the ticket has already
cost the Republican party thousands
OF votes. He stands too obviously for
the old-time fat frying type Of Re-
publican statesman"
