ject was secure. The reorganization
plan provides that the old bondhoIders
shall receive for their holding 25 per
cent. in the 5 per cent. bonds of the
new company, Is per cent. in it's pre-
ferred stock and 1919 per cent. in COM
mon stock. the balance, 37R per cest.,
being a total loss.
The bondEoders. however, put their
original holdings Of stock in the sub
sidiary companies on a basis of % per
cent. on 81, SO that their loss will not
be large.
The ron-assenting bondholders will
be paid off in cash at a price to be fix
ed by the court. The new company
starts off with a clean sheet. 1t has no
floating debt, and no interest charges
until 1910. The old floating debt of ST.
100000 is taken care of by the issuance
of short time notes, which become due
emi-annually and of these total
amounts 100000 have been taken by
the bondholders and the balance by
Boston banks and bankers The first
batch of these notes becomes due Jan.
1, 1909, and the last a year from that
time.
1t is expected that the new company
will be in active working operation by
Dec. Is, with headquarters in New
York. 1t has control of the Metropcli-
tan Line and eventually will probably
take that company under it's manage

of the Eastern Steamship Co., while it
is expected that this last named organ

ITALIANS SHOW RESENTMENT.
Don't Like Way Italian Students are
Treated In Austria.

Rome, Nov. 24.-Italians are showing
intense sentiment against Austria and
Austrians, because of the anti-1talian
riots which have taken place at Wen
ma These have been directed against
the Italian students in that city and
a number of the students have been
wounded.
Violent demonstrations have taken
place in several of the leading towns
and cities iii Italy, in the way of re
taliation, and at the demonstrations
her today, frey speeches were made
and The Austrian flag was burned. An
attack against the Austrian embassy
was prevented only by the energetic
attitude of the police, and a guard of
soldiers, and many arrests were made
amid cries Of Down with Austria
This renders more difficult the posi-
ton of the Italian government as a
member with Austria of the Triple AL
lance in the Balkans controversy.

likely to be the direct cause of a dan

Even though in our opinion the
financial loss to the public from the
destruction of this public fishery by the
dumping of the city sewage into the
water is not less than 100000 annually
the public health is of greater conse-
quence and should not be jeopardized,

such polluted areas.

HAS BAD
RECORD

BY indisputable facts it is estab-
lished today that J. w. Macarthur,
republican candidate for the legis-
lature from the Sixth district, is the
same Macarthur who was caught
trying to rob the county out OF
nearly $500 on the notorious stry-
chime scandal of April, 1893.
Macarthur at the time made a
complete confession and published
in the newspapers of the day a con-
fession of his guilt TO save prosecu-
ton.
Macarthur had a contract to sup
ply the county with 1000 ounces of
strychnine for poisoning squirrels.
e. A. Moxey. druggist of Spangle,
discovered that the strychnince
was being adulterated and that the
bottles were short weight and re-
ported the fact to the county COM
missioners. An investigation fol-
lowed, in which Macarthur, after
first protesting his innocence, then
pleaded guilty and replaced 312
ounces of strychnine distracted
from bottles sold to the county.

WOMAN DIES
AFTER SPREE

Following an all night debauch
with men in her room in the Ideal
lodging house, Nellie Peterson, age
80. died suddenly this morning, and
the circumstances have caused a
police investigation and arrest of
Frank Harris, alias Smith, age %.
He is booked at police headquar-
tiers on charge of vagrancy for
his alleged connection with the af-
fair.
Deputy Coroner Pope has not
yet examined the woman, but there
is a strong suspicion that she took
poison while drunk. Proprietor
Swanson of the lodging house
states that the woman had been
sick for three weeks. and that he
believed her death was from nat
ural causes. He admitted, how
ever, that she had been carousing
with several men all night.
A woman friend discovered the
Peterson woman too late to revive
her after she collapsed. When po-
lice reached the room they found
beer bottles scattered about the
floor and half empty glasses of
beer and whisky on chairs, tables
and the dresser

BROWNS STOCK STAYS

in the Montana Scotch-Bonnet Cop
per & Gold Mining Co. be recog-
nized by the directors of that COM
pany and that the transfer of his
stock certificate be recorded on
the books of that company when
ever the plaintiff so desires.
Mr.. Brown also asked judgment
against the company for $6,105,
which he claims he would have
made in September of last year had
the company not refused to recog-
nize the transfer of his certificate
to a prospective buyer. This was
disallowed by the court on the
grounds that no proof was rendered
to show that Brown had been act
ually offered the money for his
stock at the time of the alleged of
fer to buy.

HOW To VOTE
SPLIT TICKET

1t is expected that the method of
voting the ballot at the coming
election will cause some confusion
to voth voters and members of the
election boards unless they educate
themselves upon it thoroughly.
This is with reference to a split
party vote. Where the voter places
his mark at the top Of the party
ticket indicating straight party
vote and then wishes to exclude
some nominee for that on the other
ticket he must mark a cross for
every candidate running for that
Office If he wants the vote counted.
There are but two constables on
the democratic ticket where three
may be voted upon. In this case to
vote for three there must be three
crosses made If one from the other
party is chosen regardless of the
mark placed at the head of the
column indicating full party vote.

In a few weeks the great concrete
bridge over Wissahickon creek
will be declared open to the pub
lie. When this bridge is opened
two suburbs, formerly many miles
apart, will be brought close to-
gether. 1t is planned at the formal
opening of the bridge to have the
leading citizens of both suburbs
march from opposite directions and
meet in the center of the span.
The bridge is the largest in the
world of pure concrete without re-
enforcement, and is unique in many
other ways. 1t has attracted atten-
ton among engineers all over the
world. The chief engineer of Lon
don, Sir Maurice Fitzmaurice, who
inspected it recently, declared it
was worth trip across the ocean
to view the bridge.

RICHARDSON FOR The
SUPERIOR COURT BENCH

William e. Richardson, candidate
for superior Judge of Spokane
county. has served two terms as
superior Judge, from 1897 to 1905.
and. during that time established
a reputation for fairness and i'm
Partially that is generally ac-
knowledged by all the attorneys at
the bar. His support comes from
members of all parties based en-
tirely upon the record he has made
for judicial ability and uniform
courtesy toward attorneys and per.
sons having business in his court.
Because of the provisions of the
primary law he could not enter the
primaries, and the only way his
friends and supporters can vote for
him is by the use Of "stickers."
This methods of voting is referred
to by the recent decision of the
supreme court, of which the fol-
lowing is quotation:
"The legislature by this section,
whether wisely or not, has seen
fit to provide for placing on the
official ballot only the names of
those candidates who have been
nominated in the particular way
pointed out. This we hold the leg
islature had right to do, it being
a reasonable exercise of its mowers.
True, it deprives minority parties
casting less than 10 per centum of
the entire vote of voting for can
didates at the primary election,
whose names are entitled to APP
pear on the official ballot. and pre-
vents the people from selecting by
petition particular candidates and
having their names put upon the
official ballot. But 1t deprives no
one of the right to vote for the

Between the time of this in
dorsement and primaries, some
supposed CRATER got hold of about
5000 copies of this pamphlet and
erased Philips name and stamped
on instead that of II. Congleton.
The fact that l still had several
thousand copies of the original in
dorsement and distributed the
same over the Fifth ward, saved
the day for Phillips and McBroom.
Il didn't think / would have to
write Mr.. Phillips for his views and
support of the eight hour law. Fur
thermore, another fact that con-
tributed to Mr.. Phillips support
was the work of the Labor World,
additional copies of which were
circulated in Eagle precinct, on the
suggestion of Mr.. G.. G. Corbaley,
to save the day for Mr.. Phillips.
Now Phillips says he has no politi-
cal friends to reward and will not
say whether or not he will support
and defend the eight hour law. The
union men of this city certainly
cannot stand for any such handout
as that. And l think after the
votes are counted on November 3,
these gentlemen will certainly
have different view on the ques-
ton and will wish they had given
the people decided answer, either
for or against the eight hour law"

candidate of his choice at the gen.
1ral election. He may write or
paste the name of his candidate
thereon and have the same counted
as rightfully as If his name we're
printed upon the ballot. This is a
right the courts are uniform in
maintaining" ..
1t thus appears that the only
way Judge Richardson can make
this campaign Is by the use of
stickers or by having his name
written on the ballot by the voter.
One OF the reasons why he is re-
ceiving such general support at
this election is that there are
many fair minded men in each po-
liticai party who recognize the in
justice and unfairness of those pro-
visions of the primary law which
practically debar minority parties
from its benefits.
THE American people are dis
posed to be fair and especially re-
sent any degree of unfairness In
the election laws" said Judge Rich
ardson. II expect to receive a
generous support from the farmers
on account of my able but unsuc-
cessful championship of the cause
of township organization before
the supreme court.
THE vote cast at the last elec-
ton, which was nearly 4 to in
the country districts. and nearly 8
to in the whole county, was suffi-
cient under the constitutional pro-
vision, but the supreme court held
that it required not only the ma
jority of all votes cast upon that
subject, but also a majority of all
the votes cast at the election, in
GLIDING the votes for public Off.
GERS"
The method Of voting by stickers
requires careful attention. On a
separate slip, gummed on one side,
will be printed the name of VIII
liam E. Richardson, with small
square at the right. This slip must
be pasted on the official ballot I'M
der the title Mon Partisan Judici-
ary," and in the right hand column
of that title under the heading,
Judges Of the Superior Court"
These stickers will be furnished
at each polling place by man, ap-
pointed by the Richardson commit
tee. If no stickers are available,
the voter can write the name of
William E. Richardson In the blank
space at the bottom of the list
of superior judges and mark a
cross opposite the name. Do not
fail to make the cross, otherwise
your vote will not be counted.

DEMOCRATSFOR
EIGHT HOUR
LAW

Z. A. Cooney, second vice presi-
dent of the Washington State Fed
Grafton of Labor, has received re-
plies from the four candidates for
county commissioners for Spokane
county, and is preparing to lay
these answers before the general
meeting of the union men of the
city next Monday evening. q
There is an effort on foot by the
County Commissioners association
of the state to repeal the eight
hour law for bridge and road work.
Being authorized by the State Fed
Grafton of Labor to ascertain the
standing of the candidates for COM
missioner of this county on this
question, Mr.. Cooney addressed a
letter to the various candidates
asking them to pledge themselves
to maintain and enforce the eight
hour law, if elected.
Answers to these letters have
been received from William Pittan
of Pleasant Prairie and w. r..
Parks of Marshall, the democratic
candidates" said Mr.. Cooney this
morning, land they have unquali-
fiedly and unreservedly pledged
themselves to support the eight
hour work day for all county road
and bridge work.
j. S. Phillips, republican candi-
date, made no answer whatever,
while w. X. McBroom, republican,
returned my pledge unsigned, but
enclosed with it a statement signed
by himself and Phillips, outlining
their position on various other mat
tiers.
"McBroom and Phillips end their
statement saying they have no po-
litical friends to reward. How
very soon these men forget. l
think if it had not been for myself
and some other union men. Mr..
Phillips would not have been on
the political map today. If the
gentlemen would not mind going
back to the primaries and finding
my small paper of that date, called
Suggestions to Voters, by E. A..
Cooney,' they will find on the last
page an advisory ballot gotten out
by the political committee of the
Central Labor union In this ad-
visory ballot. Mr., Phillips and Mr..
McBroom were Endorsed for county
commissioners.
