AN OFFICER
Is Trapped and Admits He Is Not
Son of Sheriff DOust

Your name Is not Doust and there
is not any truth In the statement
that Sargent Sullivan of Spokane
came over the other night In an aut-
omobile and together with you made
midnight arrest OF a man at the
Hotel Normoyle, and, then took him
back to Spokane. There IL not any
truth in that, is there?" That was
the question propounded by Chief OF
Police McGovern to Charley Smith
of Spokane this morning. who came
to the city the other day and by his
demeanor and action lead the officers
to believe that he was a special dep
uty from the Office OF Sheriff Doak
OF Spokane, and that his name was
Doust, and he was son OF Sheriff
Edwin Doust OF Bonner county.
Smith admitted that the chief was
right. MY name Is not Doust," he
said. but Smith. why did you

chief. ''and not permit yourself to

me agency 81 postal savings banks.
The additional opportunities for
saving that can be Afforded the peO-
pie BY postal savings banks in this
country are made apparent by the
tact that there are 6O.e24 postonees
10000 Of which are money-order
postofHces. Postal banks would
operate principally in a territory not
now covered by private enterprise.
Evidence Of the Demand.
As an evidence OF the demand for
postal savings banks We have reports
from postmasters that they have been
compelled to refuse to accept de-
posts offered by foreigners for safe
Keeping, and also that our own peo-
pie have bought postal orders during
the last year payable to themselves
to the extent of sS.1O4.447, on which
amount fees of $4,000 were paid
These money orders were bought to
the greatest extent In Arkansas, Col

Oregon, Texas and Washington.
A postofhce inspector has report
ed that one family residing near a
small postofice in the state Of Wash
ington has s11. 900 on deposit in the
postal banks of British Columbia.
Under the bill now before the
senate, with a favorable report from
the committee on postofice and post
roads, the money would be widely
distributed, as It would be placed in
the national banks Of the districts
where the deposits were first brought
to the postofices. The government
would not 80 into the banking bust
ness. The national banks are to pay
2A per cent for the deposits, the
government in turn to pay the de-
positors 2 per cent, retaining Y OF
per cent in order that the system
may be self-sustaining. No interest
would De paid by the government on
deposits over $500.
The deposits would be guaran-
teed by the government, as it would
make itself responsible by receiving
them.
Postal savings banks would foster
thrift and increase the habit Of >sav-
Ing in many states and localities
where opportunities do not now exist
and would in the end serve as feeders
to the regular stock and mutual saw
ings banks, where greater returns
would be received. Thus they would
be real benefit not only to the PEG.
pie, but also to existing financial In
stitutions."
