Cancellation, saying she could no
longer endure McClammy's abuse
A most pitiable phase of the
tragedy yesterday was the little
boy asking for his father and the
presence of the little girl in her
mothers room.
The children were taken to the
Salvation Army rescue home to
await the arrival of a brother of
McClammy, who is coming from
Montana and is expected this even
ing. !.
McClammy was a gambler well
known in this line throughout the
Northwest. He was located in
Spokane for years in the wide open
days.
After being removed to a room
Mrs McClammy asked for the
baptism, which was administered
by Rev. G. William Giboney, of the
First Presbyterian church.
r.. J. Pedicord, proprietor of the
hotel, had seen the couple talking
in the hall on numerous occasions

the International Typographical
Union. At the monthly meeting of
the Spokane branch of the union
yesterday the members were no.
tilted that the strike assessment
that has been levied for many
months would be discontinued en-
tirely. Starting with 10 per cent
of the wages of each member, this
assessment has been gradually re-
duced until it amounted to but l
per cent at this time. The inter-
national officers announce the dis
continuance with the simple state
ment that the money Is no longer
needed, which is the surest indi-
cation that the printers have been
successful in their fight for eight
hours in parts of the country
where this schedule or better is
not already in effect. More than
S3,000000 has been raised and ex-
blended by the union in this fight.

HUSBAND DEAD
WIFE IS DYING
Mark McClammy Attempts Murder
and CommitsASuicide.

Failing to induce his wife to
consent to a reconciliation, Mark
McClammy yesterday afternoon
shot her three times with 3S cali
Der revolver in hallway of the
Hotel Pedicord and then fired a
bullet into his own brain.
Death for him was almost in
Simultaneous, but the woman is
still lingering, although physicians
believe she has no chance for re-
covery. She was shot through the
liver and under the heart. The 9th
err bullet struck her wrist as she
threw up her hand in effort to
shield herself.
Mrs. McClammy had been resid-
ing at the hotel for some time with
her six year old daughter, whom
she took when the couple agreed
to separate several weeks ago, CIV
ing McClammy the boy, age eight.
McClammy also came to the ho-
tel Feb. 16, seemingly for the pur-
pose of renewing his efforts to win
back his wife. Saturday he made a
trip to Occur d'Alene and had only
returned yesterday morning. In
the afternoon he met his wife in
the hall near his room and the
woman was seen to refuse his over
lures and to make repeated efforts
to get past him. Lucy Smith, a
chambermaid, heard McClammy
say, finally, well, this ends all be-
tween u.s." and the shooting TO-
lowed.
McClammy fell IN the hall, and
Mrs. McClammy made feeble eff
fort to start for her room but only
got a few steps. The chambermaid
gave the alarm and she was car
ried into room at the doorway OF
which she fell.
Mrs. McClammy left her husband
at Occur d'Alene last January ana
came to Spokane with her two chill
dren, taking $700. which she said
was all left of $4,000 she recover
ed from the city of Spokane for
personal injuries. McClammy fol-
lowed and had her arrested for alb
duction and embeZzlement.
At conference with Chief Rice
McClammy withdrew this COM
plant and tried to persuade her to
return with him. She refused. and
after continued effort he finally
agreed to take the boy and t O
separate.
Mrs. McClammy had filed a d.
vorce suit in Idaho, alleging drunk
enness and extreme cruelty. He
had once fired a revolver in the
house and had threatened to kill
her while intoxicated.

capacitated.
The assessment for maintenance
of the Union Printers home at
Colorado Spring. where sick mem
bers are cared for, has been raised
from 10 to Is cents per month per
member in order to keep the home
strictly up to modern standards Of
treatment.
From an original labor organizes
ton the typographical union is rap
idly expanding into one of the most
effective beneficiary orders in the
country. During the recent strin.
gency, when many printers were
thrown out of work by curtailment
of operating forces, the Spokane
and all other local unions OF the
organization saw to 1t that no
member suffered privation In con-
sequence.
The typographical union now has
$4,000 members in the United
States, Canada. Philippines and
Cuba. In thoroughness of organt-
cation and intelligent treatment of
it's affairs the printers are the
premier labor union of the world.

FULTON.
IS bUGH0USE

PORTLAND, Feb. 24.--George c..
Brownell, ex-president of the Ore
gon senate and the man who is
generally credited with being the
political genius that made Fulton
United States senator, this morn
ing declared that he thought Full
ton was out of his head.
'He must be-" said Brownell, "to
make the charges against me that
he does in his reply to Heney."
Brownell SHE'D his castor into
the ring of the Heney-Fulton con-
troversary this morning in an in
terview in which he makes a hot
reply to Fultons charges against
him. Fulton charged Brownell with
political duplicity and insinuated
that the one time republican boss
gave perjured testimony in the re-
cent Hall trial.
At the same time Brownell init
mates that he does know num-
Der of things about the senior SEN
ator from Oregon that would make
interesting reading, and that Full
ton will have a second dirty linen
cleaning contest on his hands I'M
less he ceases using Brownell's
name in his fight with Heney.

the last year American merchant
ships on the Pacific had been re-
duced from Is to eight.
"The American merchant marine

forfeit any title to the property.
In reply Receiver A. w. Meier
this afternoon said that he has an
unrecorded instrument which will
refute the physicians statement.
Mr.. Meier said he did not wish to
go into details as to the contents
of the instrument, or the banks af-
fairs. The committee appointed to
secure a purchaser has not yet re-

Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
The first trial in Kansas of the
"Texas" commission system of gov
eminent will be made at Leaven-
worth. Kansas towns demanded
the Texas law from the legislature,
but, after getting it only this city
has thus far taken advantage of 1t.
Leavenworth literally celebrated
its victory with blare of trumpets.
When it was certain that the new
order of things was to prevail there
was celebration. The business
men paraded the streets In the
rain, while bells weer rung and
whistles footed.
The new law provides that the
authority of the municipal govern
ment be centered in mayor ana
four other commissioners. The
mayor is the responsible head of
the fire and police departments.
He presides over the commission,
but has no veto. One commission
err has charge of finance and rev.
enue, including the preparation of
the annual budget, the levying of
taxes, etc. A second has charge OF
city-owned waterworks and street
lighting. A third has charge of
streets and public improvements
and is overseer of the engineering
department. The fourth is the
commissioner of parks and public
property and has charge of the
health department.
All other officers, formerly elect
ed, are now appointed by the COM
missioners. These include the city
attorney, clerk. treasurer. auditor,
engineer, assessors and such other
heads of departments and assist
ants as are necessary.
The commissioners are to be
elected on the first Tuesday in
April of each odd-numbered year,
and are to serve for term of two
WARS. The vote is general so that
wards and precincts may be abol-
ished.

this same effort of Luther's:
"The long columns of print and
the big pictures of bottles, dives
and sordid dens are all devoted,
with an air of judicial detachment,
to showing that AN impartial in
vestigation proves that prohibition
is not a success Who paid the
expenses of the impartial investi-
CATION? Whose money paid for
setting the type and making the
plates? Can it be that the harried
brewers are initiating Standard Oil?
Careless and indolent editors there
are who thoughtlessly use such
stuff; others there are to whom ap-
peals the saving OF the expense of
setting a page of type; and all Of
them serve the interest of whoever
is back of this philanthropic enter
prise" -...
No reputable newspaper associa-
ton would handle such stuff as
news nor would a newspaper work
ing on the principle of giving it's
readers exactly what it pretends to
give them furnish space for such
stuff. An artistically dressed adj
vertisement of this sort slipped in
as news is able to accomplish for
the interests 1t favors what thou
sands of dollars worth of space
purchased outright could not ac-
complish And the reading public
is buncoed accordingly. Mr.. Luther
evidently has an opportunity for
steady employment at high prices
along his special line since there
are some papers in the country
who are willing to aid his enter
priSn
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1908-02-24

The stuff is designed, of course,
to show that prohibition in the
leading prohibition states of the
Union Is failure. That is why no
charge Is made. 1t is not difficult
to trace the actual expense to the
liquor dealers. Luther is writer
who appears to be peculiarly adapt
ed to this sort of publicity as he
regularly afflicts editors with his
contributions on various topics that
need a deceptive sort of advertis-
ing they are unable to get direct
from fair-minded publishers. All
his contributions are furnished
without cost, which is in itself a
sufficiently suspicious circum-
stance. The Press waste basket has
received many an unsolicited con-
tribution from Mr.. Luther. So far
his attack on prohibition has gen.
orally failed to find space, although
1t costs nothing.
When he tried the Spokesman
Review. however, ne had better
luck. His whole connection appear
ed yesterday in that paper as part
of its alleged special Sunday SER
vice.
Possibly this publication, de-
signed for Sunday consumption
along with the Sunday school les
son and other elevating literature,
has a peculiar need of matter that
fills space and costs nothing. Pos
sibly there were other incentives

HEW HOME FOR
ORPHANS

The 10000 club has embarked
with it's usual vigor upon the I'M
dertaking of raising money to
build a new home for the Home OF
the Friendless. At luncheon this
noon, which was attended by about
so, it was decided to further a
great athletic tournament. the pro-
ceeds of which will be added to the
home fund. 1t is proposed to get
all the local athletic associations
to engage in contests at the armory
at some future date. Such tourna-
ment, it was argued would attract
many people of an athletic bent,
and many others who would attend
to contribute their mite towards
swelling the fund.

CHANGERS KICK
ON MILITIA

SALEM, Ore, Feb. 24-The
state grangers today filed argu-
ments against the free pass bill
and an appropriation of $4,000 for
four years for armories. The
grangers assert that the only NC
tive service to which the militia is
ever called is to settle differ ences
between large corporations and
employers, and that the former al
ways evade, if possible, payment OF
taxes; and that an additional ap-
preparation would probably result
in grating.
