j. 3. COFFMAN, WELL KNOWN
BUSINESS MAN OF SPOKANE,
DEFENDANT IN SENSATION.
AL SUIT FOR $4,000.

T. b. Coffman of the Howard
Coffman Co., we'll known bust
ness man of this city, is being sued
by Jeanette NJ. De Camp for $685.
600 for having failed to keep his
promise of marriage to her and
having accomplished her ruin, she
alleges.
Mr.. Coffman is out of town today
and could not be seen. His attor-
ney, Mr.. Dudley of Cullen & Dud-
ley, made this statement in behalf
of the accused:
THE suit is simply blackmail.
There is nothing to it. That is all
we care to say for publication.
The woman's story, as told in
the complaint, begins back in 1903
when the two met. They soon be-
came engaged and upon promises
of marriage, Miss De Camp alleges,
their conduct was that of husband
and wife. She was then 20 years
old and, she states. inexperienced
in the ways of the world. 1t was
while still living at home with her
parents in 1908 that Coffman ac-
complished her ruin, she alleges,
after which he persuaded her to
leave home and assume the man
agement of rooming house where
they lived together as man and
wife for seven months. As Il result
Miss De Camp says she is still suf-
fering from the effects of an oper-
alton for which the defendant is
responsible.

COUNTY WATER METER
HAS Been CHEATING CITY

An inspection of the water meter
at the court house, against which
vigorous complaint had been
lodged by the county commission
ers, shows that the county, instead
OF being worsted, has not been pay
ing its full share of water revenue
to the city.
1t was found that the county's
meter instead of being too diligent
in its work of scorekeeper was
not going fast enough. The meter
was overhauled. oiled up, and now
will run with greater ease than
ever before.
Water Commissioner Wetzel
says it is mistake to think that
meters ever run too fast, for as
q rule il there is any fault to be
found 1t is because meters do not
run fast enough. Meters in use for
number of years must be over
hauled occasionally to keep them
in order. This is found necessary,
as meters are generally found to
begin to lose when not attended
to regularly.
The investigation of the court
house meter showed a loss of 8
per cent, it is said,

FORAKER ADMITS
GETTING MONEY
Says He Supposes Standard Oil Letters Are
Genuine Articles.

CINCINNATI, Sept. Ex-senator
Foraker today gave out state
ment saying he supposed the let
tiers from John Archbold, of Stan
dard Oil, to him, read last night at
Columbus by Hearst, are correct,
though he was not positive.
Foraker explained that he was
engaged by the oil trust in con-
nection with affairs in Ohio, where
the Standard was being attacked
in the legislature.
He denied that anything in the
letter referred to pending legisla
ton.
Foraker explained that "At that
time to be employed by the cor
poration was not discreditable"
that his employment by the STAN
dard ended before his first term
in the senate expired, and he has
not represented the Standard since.
Hearst said the letters referred
to bills before congress and made
a bitter attack upon the senator,
charging him with being an agent
of Standard OIL.

tiers purporting to have been writ

JAPS PAY FOR HITTING
MAN in FIT

When James Griffin, an epileptic,
fell in a fit at the table in a Jap
restaurant several days ago the
Japs thought he was trying to es-
cape paying for his meal and as
saulted him. Yesterday the Japs
were hailed before Justice Mann,
who fined two of them $40 and
costs each, and two of them ST and
costs each. The heavy fines were
imposed on the proprietors of the
place.
Griffin testified that he knew he
had one of his customary fits, but
nothing about the Japs attacking
him. Others testified that the Japs
treated the unfortunate man rough
ly at first, but desisted when they
realized his condition.

Information was this morning
filed by Deputy Prosecuting Attor-
ney Fred c. Pugh against Frank
Barker, charging him with the
murder in cold blood of Ira Mes
singer at Medical Lake last July.
Barker, who will soon have an ar
raignment to be followed by his
trial next month, was a soldier at
Fort Wright when on a visit to
Medical Lake, the evidence shows,
he cruelty beat the old man over
the head with an iron pipe, caus-
ing his death.
Pathetic indeed Is the letter re-
ceived by the prisoner just after
heb went to Jail from his old moth
err, whose home is at Stone Fort,
Inninois. 1t seems she had pre-
monition of impending disaster to
her boy before the deed was done.
The letter was written the same
day the murder was committed and
addressed to Fort Wright. 1t was
then re-addressed to Barker at the
county jail. The letter, in part,
follows:
II hope you are well and doing
well. Frank, want you to have
some pictures made, will you
please? Ma and Charley want to
see how you look with your uni
form on. All the soldiers will be
here next week that are in the
