Having wrung out of Gov. 'Har-
ris the appointment of a gang poll
tician to the police judgeshlp Of Gin
cinnah, Cox is moving ahead with
his real designs on the assembly. In
cluded in Reputation of the recon-
mendations made by Gov. Harris In
his message to the assembly yes
terday, Cox and his delegation is
against system OF competitive bid
ding for the use of state funds.
Un1er the present loose sy. tenn Gin
clnnatl banks, which he controls,
notably the Cincinnati Trust Co..
have been favored with hundreds OF
thousands of dollars of state money
He intends that this arrangement
shall not be disturbed.
The Cincinnati boss is makiply
hid for support from Cuyahoga
county. A merger of combination
between the two big counties Is
proposed. Cuyahoga was allowed the
lions share of petty patronage. AS
s, tance IN the matter OF gaining
control of commf.ees Is expected
from the Cuyahoga members as the
price OF hep in landing few port
erships for hungry ward and pre-
cinct politicians In Cleveland. AS
far as the Legislature has proceeded
the Cincinnati delegation has played
Simple Simon with the Cuyahoga
members.
Both branch>s of the assembly
adjcurned yesterday until next Mon
day mornirly when there will be
brief sessions in advance of the in
augursfion ceremonies. In the mean
time representatives of Cox are on
the ground working quietly on the
make up of the senate committees.
The houce of representatives may
prove to be Stumbling block IN
the Cox game. He has no hold on
Speaker Mooney who alone names
the house committees.
Mooney has engineered one reform
a resolution embodying the report OF
the committee on rules. which car
med am important change. Hereafter
there Will be two house committees
on judiciary instead OF one unwieldy
committee of thirteen members. The
two committees will be composed
OF seven members each, one TO be
known as the judiciary and the 9TH
er as the codes committee. All bills
re'ating to judicial procedure will
go to the former, while all meas
ures relating to codes will be re-
ferred to the latter.
The change will not only expedite
the work of the house but will
break up committee Ahat has
been used from time immemorial to
bury legislation.
! Congressman Burton will have 10
use all his influence If there Is no
break In the Ouyahoga delegation on
the primary reform bill. Nothing
short of an absolute demand from
him will keep four or five of the
members in line against the repeal
of the primary law and even this
may fall,
The politicians wh1 -ere routed
anil discredited by the senatorial
victory of Congressman Burton are
all in the line up of those seeking
the repeal of both the primary and
federal plan laws. The Cuyahoga
members are regarded as Offering

DISPUTE OVER RAILING

The board of public works and
the city engineer are in mild dis
pute as to whether the railing on
the Mission street bridge should
be on concrete as specified or OF
iron as Mr.. Ralston now desire 1t.
The board rejected the proposal
to substitute the iron railing when
the matter was first brought up
but when it was reopened the
question was raised as to whether
the board had the power to make
modification in the plans as big
as the one proposed.
Mr.. Ralston takes the position
that the iron railing will result In
the reduction of s1,100 in the cost
of the structure and will be as
ornamental as the concrete rail.
ing. The board is of the opinion
that the matter should be sent to
the council for action by that body
and this will be done.

ENDS
FRICHTFUL
AGONY

After a ceaseless struggle of two
days and nights in the grip of de-
lirium tremens, during which time
his fellow prisoners tossed rest
lessly upon sleepless cots, within
hearing of his agonizing screams,
William Minchinton, a miner, aged
40 years, breathed his last in a cell
of the city Jail this morning.
The old miners was found moan
ing and half paralyzed from the
effects Of liquor in a waiting room
of the Great Northern depot Fri
day evening by Detective Miles
and was brought in the patrol wag-
on to the city Jail. He was unable
to give his name at that time, and
a few hours later was seized with
the tremens. His system was so
badly poisoned from excessive
drink that medicine had little ef-
feet upon him, and he died in ter
rible agony.
Little is known of the old fellow
so far, and the Turnbull Under
taking Co., which took charge of
the body will make an effort to
locate some Of the relatives.

who for about a week has been
begging people about the city for

he represents the well known reli-

All the description that Captain
Sturms has of his prey so far is
that he Is tall and wears a black
mustache. This, however, may be
false as the mans representations,
but still hunt is being instituted
just the same, and meantime peo-
pie are warned by the Salvation

BURGLARY CHARGES NOW
MADE AGAINST CORcORAN,
WHO IS TO BE BROUGHT
BACK HERE ON BlGAMY
CHARGE.

Mrs. John s. Corcoran No. 2,
lbrmerly Miss Leila Marshall, a
Spokane girl, was used as tool in
. systematic robbery Of the B. K.
riske and the Columbia Optical
Co.'S stores in Portland, Ore, ac-
eording to statements that have
Ocen made by the first wife of the
Venturous young optician.
According to statements made
OCth in Spokane and Portland by
Corcoran's first wife, who is be-
hind the prosecution Of the cases
against her husband and her rival,
Corcoran so cleverly won the con-
f1dences of Leila Marshall while
she was employed as a stenograph-
er at the B. e. Fiske Optical Co.,
in Portland, and again while en-
ployed by the Columbia Optical
Co, that she turned over the keys
of the places to him. With these
he broke into both places at night,
stealing several hundreds of dol
liars worth Of goods, which he
shipped east. According to a re-
port received by The Press from
Portland, Corcoran's first wife
caught them in the plot and later
Informed the B. f. Fiske company
of it all, after the goods had been
sent east, but according to a
statement given out by Mrs. Cor
coran in Spokane she secured
possession of the stolen stuff and
returned 1t to the owners.
Corcoran's arrest was accom-
plished in Ell Paso, Texas, as the
result of rapid and clever work by
Detective Fred Pearson of the
Spokane police department, Pear
son secured the address of the
fugitive from the deceived second
wife, shortly before o'clock In
the evening and three hours later
the man, who thought himself
safe from the clutches of the law,
was placed under arrest on infor-
nation contained in telegraph
message.
Corcoran will not be returned to
Spokane for over week yet, 1t
is said, and 1t Is thought that at
that time his case will be COM
plicated with charges filed by the
optical companies in Portland from
which he is alleged to have
stolen goods. No steps have been
taken to that end so far as known,
and Corcoran's second wife, the
alleged tool In the burglary, is out
under $500 bonds.

TRIAL OF
CAuvETTE

Motion for new trial was filed
this afternoon in the case of Joe
Gauvette, who was found guilty Sa-
turday night by jury in Judge
Hinkle's court of first degree MUIR
der, for having killed his wife,
Elizabeth, in cold blood last June.
In case the motion for a new
trial is overruled the attorneys for
Gauvette will in all probability
carry the case to the supreme
court, as the claim is made that
there was sufficient doubt as to
Gauvettes soundness of mind to
make it travesty of justice to
hang him.
Only the usual statutory grounds
are set forth in the motion for the
new trial. 1t will be argued before
Judge Hinkle at an early date, and
in case of it's being overruled
Judge Hinkle will for the second
time in a few weeks be called
upon to pronounce the death
penalty. The other man SEN
fenced to be hung by Judge Hin
kle was Frank Barbar.
The. jury deliberated less than
an hour on the fate of Gauvette
and returned their verdict into
court shortly before o'clock Sa-
turday night. The case con
sumed two full weeks in trial and
cost the county around S1,700.
Prosecutor Fred Pugh has tried
two cases, both murder trials,
since the November election and
secured the extreme penalty in
both cases, the other trial being
that of Frank Barbar. Pugh's
speciality is the trial of murderers,
and his success in the Gauvette
and Barkar cases ought to have
the effect of enhancing the value
of human life in Spokane county,
DR.. j. M. Semple, superinten.
dent of the Medical Lake insane
hospital, who was one of the com
mission of doctors that examined
Gauvette and pronounced him
sane, and was later called as a
witness for the state. told The
Press that he believed there was
enough of cloud on Gauvette's
reason that he should not be
hung, The doctor thought the life
penalty severe enough.
