IS
DEFENDANT
IN COURT
Sullivan and Two Attor-
neys of Gordon Cited
for Contempt.

The citation FOR contempt of a
superior court judge and two of the
attorneys for Judge NJ. J. Gordon
has caused some of the doubling
ones to sit up and take notice and
realize that Spokane county has a
grand jury that is attempting to
probe into the Root-Gordon scandal
in dead earnest.
Prosecuting Attorney Fred c.
Pugh has gone into the investiga.
ton with all the energy, force and
foresight which he possesses and is
determined that the investigation
shall be complete and thorough, II
It lies within his power to make It
such.
Fortunately, he Is receiving the
hearty cooperation of the grand
jury, which is impressed with the
magnitude and Importance of the
investigation under way and the
immense and seemingly insur-
mountable obstacles In the way of
thorough investigation Of the
Root-Gordon scandal, and the rela-
tions of the Great Northern railway
with the courts.
Prosecutor Pugh has incurred the
enmity of some powerful interests,
and II may be that he has burned
the bridges to his future advance
ment, but he is in the Root-Gordon
investigation to the finish.
When the hearing OF the proceed
ings for contempt of court institut-
ed Saturday afternoon against
Judge E. II. Sullivan of the super
ior court, his brother, Potter
Charles Sullivan and n. e. Nuzum
comes up before Judge Huneke to-
morrow at 1880, the question of the
secrecy of the grand jury will be
gone into as it has never before
been considered in Spokane.
Judge Sullivan has employed
Charles Voorhees, to appear for
him, in addition TO whom the full
battery OF counsel for Judge NJ. j..
Gordon will be represented. From
the charge of the grand jury, 1t
seems that the hearing before
Judge Huneke will largely by q
matter of law. as the question Of
fact can easily be determined. The
grand jury charges Judge Sullivan
with having told his brother. at the
latter's solicitation, what he had

HERE'S THE
WHOLE THING

The Review gave no space what
ever yesterday morning to the fol-
lowing communication:
TO THE WAGE FARMERS: To-
morrow the voters of Spokane will
select candidates for mayor and
councilmen. You will have a large
part in selecting these candidates.
Mr.. Fassett in his speech at the
First Presbyterian church last
Thursday. said:
"In selecting city officials you
should do the same as you would
do in selecting an employe for
|yourself-study your man., know
him, and select the man you be-
lieve to be the strongest and most
worthy"
And he might we'll have added
that you should study what they
stand for and who is backing them.
You might also look to the candi-
dates record.
II you take Mr.. Fassett's advice
1t is not at all probable that Fas-
sett will be nominated.
The Spokesman-Review is trying
hard to elect Fassett. Did the
Spokesman-Review ever do any
thing except from selfish motives?
Has 1t not at every opportunity
struck blow at the worker? In
reporting labor news has 1t not al
ways twisted the truth around in
such q manner as to show the
worker in the worst possible light?
The Review knows that in this
contest Hutchinson is stronger
man than Fassett. 1t knows very
we'll, too, that. ONO stands no
show of being nominated. Yet 1t
hopes by trickery to have Fassett
nominated. 1t is trying to confuse
the voter by claiming that the fight
is between ONO and Fassett and
in that way draw labor votes from
Hutchinson to ONO.
Do not let their ruse succeed. II
you want Fassett for mayor by all
means vote for him, but II you do
not unite on Hutchinson Fassett
will surely be elected as ONO can
not draw enough votes from the
business men to defeat him.
Outside of very few workers
who have swallowed his dope about
his being labor's champion. ONO
can only look to the saloons and
dives for his support and the day
of saloon control in Spokane is
past.
On the other hand Hutchinson
has the confidence of all classes
and can draw enough votes, which
when combined with the workers
votes, will elect him. 1t may be
true that Mr.. Fassett, II eletced,
would be a good mayor for the
workers, but when the Review and

both back candidate the evidence
is all against such probability.
The backing of either. should
convince you that he Is not the
man you want for mayor.
The Review and the Washington
Water Power Co.!
Ye gods! What a combination to
ask for a workers vote!
But then the Review or the
Washington Water Power Co. has
sufficient gall to ask for anything.
On the contrary, consider Hutch
inson's record Of public service
since 1891. Always in support Of
those measures that were for the

The spokesnan-Revlew gave
frat page prominence yesterday
morning to the following communi'
cation:
To the Editor Of the Spokesman.
Review: l notice that j. T. ONO
in his campaign Is claiming the
support OF labor, both organized
and u?organized
l fail to see upon what grounds
he bases his claim. He certainly
can not base it upon his past rec
ord. for while in the city council,
although he had ample opportunity
to champion the cause of labor he
never showed any initiative in that
respect, and, while can not say
that he ever showed any hostility
toward labor. his lukewarm sup
port was such as one would expect
from any politician who was look
ing to his political future.
And after a careful consideration
Of his platform fail to see in 1t
anything of interest to the worker.
He promises in his platform
some things that are in force al
ready, such as Sunday closing OF
saloons and free employment Of
fee, which latter. by the way, is of
little service to the worker. as the
private employment offices have
almost monopoly of the work, ex-
cepting short jobs which the pri-
vate Offices do not care to bother
with.
On other points OF his platform
he is very indefinite. He speaks of
a concrete bridge at Monroe street,
but does not say II it Is to be built
by contract or day labor.
II Il was to be built by day labor
Is 1t not reasonable to suppose that
he would say so? The East
Sprague flll Is a fair sample of
what benefit to home labor the con-
tract system Of doing public work
is; where until recently word Of
English was seldom heard.
II Is true that he says In his plat
form that he is for home labor on
all public work, but surely he will
not pretend that he Is unaware OF
the fact that the corporation coun-
sci has held that such a provision
can not legally be Incorporated in
a contract.
He also says that no franchise Is
to be granted without sufficient
remuneration" to the city. Anoth-
er very indefinite statement. Who
p is to be the judge of what consti~
tutes a Sufficient remuneration"
Is Mr.. ONO and the company re-
ceiving the franchise to determine
that between themselves?
AS to another point in his plat.
form, the removal Of all poles with
in the fire limits, he does not say,
when this great reform Is to be ac-
complished, nor show In what re-
spect this masterpiece of legisla-
ton is of vital interest to the
worker.
] wish to speak of one more
point In his platform--the free pub
lic'baths. wonder II that would
be farce like the free employ
ment Office, or does he think the la
borer is In such desperate need of
an application of soap and water
that he can make 2 winning CAM
baign on such an Issue?
In fact my opinion is that his
best excuse for his candidacy
would be frank admission on his
part that he is at present out of Of
Ace and wants to be in, and since
his ward repudiated him as a coun-
Gilman he has determined that the
only way back to Office is by way
of the mayors office, Respectfully,

Schools WILL
Open AUGUST 80

The public schools of the borough
will open on the last Monday of Aug
this year, which implies that only a
trifle over three weeks of vacation re-
main.
1t is fact that an enormous amount
of work in the way of repairs, clean
ing, &C., remains to be done in the
short interim. The extensive repairs,
including calcimiuing and painting.
are being pushed ahead as rapidly as
possible. On next Monday night at the
regular meeting of the school board
the contract for cleaning the buildings
will be awarded, after which especial
attention will have to be given to that
branch OF the work in order that the
buildings may be placed in proper con-
dition for the opening of schools.
AS TO VACCINATION
The same rules and regulations re-
lating to vaccination that have gov.
erned the schools for several years past
will be enforced this year. Notwith.
standing that much agitation has been
set on foot looking to amendment the
law relating to vaccination is still in
force. All principals and teachers are
obliged to refuse admission of any
child to the schools under their charge
or supervision except upon certific-
ate signed by physician setting forth
that such child has been successfully
vacoinated or has previously had the
small pox.
The certificate as above described,
Of course, is not necessary except in
the case of those pupils who have not
attended the schools before. In the
case of all those who attended our
schools last year and previously the
question of vaccination has been salts
factorily settled.
Obviously only little time remains
for those who need a certificate to at
tend to vaccination and they should
see physician Immediately; other
wise a delay may occur before they
will be admitted TO the schools.

MOSQUITOES NEVER

The mosquitoes were never worse in
Danville than this summer. The in

SONS who desire to sit ont of doors dur

The prevalence Of the mosquitoes is
to be attributed to the old canal. If it
we're not for this breeding place the
annoying insect would be conspicuous
by his absence this summer. as the
drought prevailing has brought about
conditions unfavorable for the pro-
psgation Of mosquitoes.
This affords another reason why the
