SPRECKELS, HENEY AND FRISCO
ON TRIAL BEFORE CALHOUN

idly behind the prosecution.
Ex-convicts, known to have been
hired by Calhoun's corporation as
detectives" plug uglies in daily at
tendance at the Ruef trial, still
hang about the courtroom.
Two instances of what are be-
lieved to have been attempts at
jury tampering, identical to the one
discovered during the trial of Ruef,
have already been reported to the
court, one by venireman himself.
Calhoun's five lawyers have al
ready given abundant evidence
that they are on the same job, to
try the prosecution by insinuation,
as was Ruef's one.
Before the trial it had been the
general belief that, frankly admit
ting the passage of money, Calhoun
would plead that he was held up
by Ruef.
Heney was one of the few who
believed differently.
Calhoun will attack the prosecu-
ton and its motives" said Heney
on the night Of his arrival from the
east. THAT is the only defense
open to him. The evidence against
him is complete. He is guilty.
His only chance, il the jury is
honest, is a successful effort to
confuse the minds of the Jurors by
raising false issues based on at
tacks on the motives of the prose
cution.''
The last few days in court have
shown yiyidly that Heney knew
whereof he spoke.

CRUEL CAPTAIN
AFTER Ours

"The children run around in rags
and tatters and the four big dogs,
as big as Great Danes, are as slick
and fat as can be-"
This is one of the arguments of
Captain John Gray why the license
for dogs should be raised to SO for
males and SIS for females. The
ordinance to raise the license for
dogs will be introduced by Captain
Gray in the council meeting to-
night, and there is every indication
it will pass when the measure is
reported out of committee.
There are too many ours in
Spokane said Councilman Gray
this morning. "The man who has

1t cost the city pretty penny to
find out that it's books were crook
ed in several of the city depart
ments. The finance committee
yesterday allowed the bill of Can
non & LIE Masters for going over
the accounts, and as a result it has
cost the city $1,245.15 to find out
that there was "bull sack"
Owing to the fact that a portion
of the bill had previously been
paid, the amount still to be paid
the accountants Is but $703.15,
which awaits the councils official
sanction.

SUES ATTORNEY

z. E. Brockman today filed suit
for $4,000 damages against B. B.
Adams, attorney, charging defama-
ton of character. Brockman says
Adams made this statement: THAT
the plaintiff has been accused by
Judge KEENAN, of being guilty of

GEORGE coHAN'S RECORD.
Adept in Musical Comedy and Pop

From the Waahington Herald.

From the Washington Herald
 Born in Providence, R. l., 5l years ago. George Michael Conan ten years later made his stage debut as a boy violinist at Haverstraw. \. Y. His success WAS immediate and he toured the country for several years after, appearing with his father mother and sister in playlets and short sketches written by the elder Conan.
 When he was about 15 years of age, George NJ. began to write short sketches on his own account, supplementing them with musical trimmings of his own com position that found instant favor on ac- count of their swingy rhythm and fas- cinating rhyme. About ten years ago "'rhe Governors Son." which was pre- sented in the vaudeville houses by the Four Cohans. It succeeded so emphati- cally that MT. Cohans friends advised him to lengthen 1t into an evenings en- tertainment. which he did and in it's three-act form. interwoVen with many popular songs and choruSes, George and his family jumped into immediate suc- cess.
 The next plays to come from the Conan workshop were Running for Office" Little Johnny Jones'" "Forty-fve Min utes From Broadway" George Washing ton. Jr." Fifty Miles From Boston, "The Talk of New York; "The Ameri- can Idea" "The Yankee Prince" and "The Man Who Owns Broadway" Lit tie Johnny Jones' may be said to have been young Cohan's first musical come- dy triumph. inasmuch as it's hit was so genuine that Conan sought booking in

Vast Size of Alaska.
rom the Chicago Tribune.

lliC SniSdSO IIlDunc.
 Alaska, on some near tomorrow, Is expected by Alfred H. Brooks of the United State geographical survey to have half million increase of popula- tion. The metal and coal mining in- dustries should each support at least 100000, and if third of the lands classed as arabic are now available for farming, it will furnish 10000 home steads supporting over 100000. The tourist who travels to Glacier Bay; tho capital, Jenau, and the picturesque Sit ka must not suppose he has seen Alas ka. fae could skirt another 5000 miles of coast line to Cordova, Valdez, Sew ard, and then, if be would see Alaska, his journey is only we'll begun. For the gold fields of Fairbanks would lfe 400 miles to the north, and those of Nome would be as distant as New York is from Chicago It would be a great tundras of the north, with then still greater distance to the seal rock herds of wild reindeer and their lonely Esquimau igloos, while to reach the westernmost A1eutian island would re- quire a journey half as long as that from New York to Seattle. Should the tourist retrace his steps to Skagway, cross the White Pass, and follow the mighty Yukon for 2000 miles to Boring sea, his knowledge of Alaska, while much enlarged, would still be incoln plete.

the high-class theatres, and, obtaining it. has now become one of the best drawing stars in America, with a following who declare that he has no equal as an au- thor. actor, playwright and composer in his peculiar line on the contemporary stage.
 Of George M Cohans work during the past five years the public has been kept advised. His working methods are prob ably unlike any other author, and are as odd as are his peculiar mannerisms. Cohan never does any writing in the day time, preferring the quiet solitude of his studio in the wee, small hours, when all good folks are supposed to be abed. From a. m. to daylight is his fayorite time. and he has often been known to complete an entire act at one sitting, which he puts in rehearsal while he is writing the second
