Washington, d. c., Feb 5.-When
Mr.. Taft becomes president he will
ride in an automobile furnished by
the government. That question was
settled by the adoption of the report
OF the conferees on the urgent def.
cheney bill. which carries an item of
$4,000 for the purchase. care and
maintenance of automobiles for the
use of the president"
President Roos avelt vetoed the bill
providing for the thirteenth and sub
sequent decennial censuses. on the
ground that it permitted agents of
the census bureau to be appointed by
sthe spells system rather than for
merit. He urged a strict civil serv-
ice rule for the appointment of clerks
and other employees. With practi-
cally no debate, the message of the
president was referred to a commit
tee for appropriate action.

Washington, Feb. 9-The senate
became involved in discussion of the
type of canal that should be con

tredge, chairman of the committee on
interoceanic canals precipitated the
debate by bringng in an adverse re-
port on the Hopkins bill, authorized
the secretary of the treasury to issue
bonds to the extent of $500 GEO 900
Tor the construction of the canal.
Reading a statement of the expeudi
lures on the canal ND to date, he de-
clared that the completion of the lock
canal would cost $400.000000 and in
sisted that a great mistake had been
made in not adhering to the plaD for
building a sea level waterway across
the isthmus, which he said would be.

Foraker and Teller both joined Mr..
Kittredge in declaring a belief that
a sea level canal should be construct

DRAWS TEARS FROM MANY EYES
WHEN HE TALKS TO A CROWD
OF FIFTY-NINE PROSTITUTES
IN SPOKANE.

Il will not permit this degree Of
crime to be carried on in Spokane as
long as l am judge Of the police
court, II l have to issue the warrants,
prosecute the cases and impose the
punishment myself alone" sternly
declared Judge Mann to So inmates
of the Ideal, Pioneer and Monica
lodging houses today.
The women were each charged
with vagrancy and all but two plead
ed guilty. A squad of officers under
direction of Chief of Police Sullivan
took them in a raid on the three
lodging houses, just across the corner
from the city hall, last nigth.
Il don't know what to do with you
women" his honor continued. Il
know it has become a general impress
sion that you would be allowed to
flock to this district, but the impress
sion is false 1t is true that the pO-
lice have been driving you out of
the more respectable districts. /
know that you will lead the same
sort of career in any locality in which
you were driven. I know that Seat
tie, Portland, Tacoma, Butte, Wall
ace, North Yakima and other cities
and towns all around have forced
you out and flooded Spokane with
you.
Il don't believe it right to drive
criminals and lawbreakers into other
communities to get rid of them, but
you cannot practice your shame in
this degree here. You cannot buy
your way to that privilege. The city
does not want your money.
Il am frank to say that myself
and Chief Sullivan and others of the
! city officials have been offered large
sums to overlook you. We did not
take umbrage at the offers, because
we know that in some cities it is the
practice to fitch money from you un-
| fortunate creatures, but money is no
consideration here in Spokane under
| this administration.
1T is not right that landlords fitch
your money from you. In conclusion
II want you all to strictly understand
that we will not permit this here.
Your names will be kept on file and
if ever again we find you here your
punishment will be greater. This
time l shall fine you SIS and costs
each and sentence each of you to the
city Jail for ten days.
There were tears on the cheeks OF
many of the less hardened in that
gaudy crowd, and occasionally, when
other sounds were hushed genuine
sobs came from the throng. There
were faces there that looked far out
of place; faces that were beautiful,
the kind that would have cheered a
| home and made honorable men s
hearts happy.
All semblance of vulgarity and
boisterousness that marked thai
crowd as they filed into the police
station the night before in charge OF
officers and again as they passed
down the aisle before the court van
ished before Judge Mann.

mountain and stocked 1t with many
barrels of whisky.
1t was then that Bill announced
his purpose. He issued proclama-
ton, so to speak. and had it printed
on dodgers and distributed the coun-
try over for miles around. In this
proclamation Bill announced that on
June 18th he would throw open the
doors of the Tennessee Oasis" and
would supply booze in any quantity
desired. He explained that his bust
ness would be perfectly legal; that
there was not a schoolhouse within
four miles OF his cabin; that he had
leased the land for five miles in every
direction, and would allow no school
house thereon; that in order to put
him out of business the legislature
would have to amend the prohibition
law; that the legislature would not
meet for two years, and that in the
| meantime he would be glad to serve
all his old friends and contract new
| ones.
True to his proclamation, Bill
opened up the "oasis" on June 10.
Armed with a United States internal
revenue license, Winchester rife, a
heavy revolver and a bowie knife, he

Ever since the opening the grove
around the oasis has presented the
appearance of camp meeting
ground. The rush became so great
that on the third day Bill Conger de-
clared he must have some help; that
he had worked both night ana day
and the end of the procession OF
thirsty ones was not yet in sight. So
Bill employed Jack Cunningham as
bartender.
The mountain knob on which the
"oasis'' is situated is a barren hill
adorned with a scrub underground
and a few shaggy trees. Not soul

Conger built his log camin saloon.
The nearest railroad is at this city,
