A LAW
IN WOMAN S
BEHALF
MRS. HILDA RtHARD CAN NOW
SUCCEED PROBATION OF
FICER b. Il. PETERS -
CHANGE COMING.

1t is generally believed around
the court house that Mrs. Hilda
Rihard, assistant probation officer,
will succeed B. r. Peters as chief
of the office on August /. Ugly
charges have been made against
Peters and it is believed that he
will be>semoved.
1t has been learned from a relia-
BILE source that a clause in the re-
the last legislature was especially
inserted to enable Mrs. Rihard to
hold the position of chief proba-
ton officer.
The clause referred to is tackled
on to section Z of the act relating
to juvenile court officers and gives
the judge of that court power to
appoint in counties of the first
class one chief probation officer,
whose salary shall not exceed 1925
per month, and also one assistant
officer, whose salary shall not ex
coed 1888 per month, and then in
order to pave the road for a WON
an this rider IT, tackled on, Zone
of which salaried officers shall be
a woman" Senator Jesse Huxta
BILE had the amendment made.
Under this section Mrs. Rihard
can be appointed chief probation
officer, and as she has a strong
following at the court house it Is
confidently expected among her
friends that she will get the
place.
She will be opposed, so it is
given out, by John Clifford, who
has the backing of the county com
missioners.
If Mrs. Rihard gets the appoint
ment the salary of the office may
be further cut by the commission
ers, Tho do not favor o. woman
holding the office, and quite a live
ly controversy is expected to arise
over this question between the
two factions. B. G. Peters says his
friends have advised him to say
nothing and to let the others fight
it out among themselves. He will
not yet admit that he is down and
out, even if all others at the court
house are inclined to share that
view.

There are white men and women
in Spokane addicted to the opium
smokins habit, but so far the police
have been successful in finding
white men smoking the drug with
the Cinnamon only in shacks in diff
ferent downtown parts of the city.
Little if any of the practice is al
lowed by the Cinnamon IN the Chi
nese quarter extending along Front
about Wall, Howard and Stevens
streets.
On several occasions the scent Of
opium fumes has become so stiff
ling about the city hall that the po-
lice were compelled to make the
Cinnamon close their windows, but
no white man or women have been
caught smoking with the Cinnamon
for long time.

OLYMPIA, June 2S.--Indications
are that little will be accomplished
today by the legislature, which
convened at 2:30 this afternoon.
Both houses will probably play a
waiting game. Hope is not aban-
doned by the administration forces
that two needed votes to pass the
Palmer bill in the senate, abolish
ing the office of insurance commits
sioner, can be secured.
Speaker Meigs said today that
he had not yet made up the COM
mittee of seven that is to prepare
the articles Of impeachment, as or
dered under Fridays resolution. A
slim attendance this afternoon is
predicted.
1t hardly seems possible, even If
the house committee is named at
the beginning Of the session, that
it will be able to proceed far with
the articles of impeachment by
night, because of the extreme care
necessary in constructing the docu.
ment.
