EARNS
A REWARD

Fred Pearson for years one of
the most popular officers of the
Spokane police department. and
among the best detectives of the
northwest, Is now to be a regular
plain clothes man to fill the place
in that department vacated by
Billy Weir, appointed yesterday to
the position of sergeant of police.
Pearson's appointment was made
today by Chief of Police Rice.
Pearson has become generally
known throughout the northwest in
the last few months by his clever
work in trapping the Gouyet broth
ers and Henry Marineut, three of
the vilest French parasites that
have ever disgraced this city with
their presence. A term of 40
months in the Montana state peni-
Tertiary is now being served by
Pete Gouyet, and his brother
Adolph has fairly begun an incar-
ceration of Is months in the same
institution on convictions of having
imported French women into the
United States for immoral pur-
poses. Detective Fred Parsons
evidence convicted both the men
To this same sleuth, Henry Mari
neut, now serving term of two
years in the Idaho penitentiary,
owes his i'll luck. Under the direc-
ton Of Mr. Pearson, who had
worked in Spokane for several
months on the case, Marineut was
taken in custody by the United
States authorities at Wallace,
Idaho, for debauching Dionda
Louise, French girl whom he had
betrayed. Mignon Duvont and
Erma Vigno were slaves of the
Gouyet brothers at the time of
their arrest at Helena, Mont, on
information that had been worked
up during two years previous by
Detective Fred Pearson. AS the
result Of the convictions of these
three parasites, 35 arrests in dis
tricts of Idaho and Montana have
followed.
Another case in which the clever
work of the Spokane detective has
prominently figured is that of Emil
VOcamp and Jennie Girard, in GUS
tody of the Moscow, Idaho, authori-
ties at the present time, on a SINH
lar charge.
Aside from these cases, which
have puzzled some of the best gov
eminent secret service men, Detec-
tive Pearson personally conducted
successful campaign against a
number Of immoral lodging houses
here in the last few months, with
the result that numerous convic-
tons have been made.

WASHINGTON, d. c. Jan. g.

SANDERS FOR MAYOR!

AS regularly as city campaign
time comes around, E. d. Sanders,
republican, is mentioned for may
orally timber, and quite naturally
he is being mentioned today. 1t
had generally been understood that
Mr. Sanders would run against
Councilman Baldwin of the Second
ward, who wants to be returned.
However, it is said that pressure
Is being brought to bear on Mr..
Sanders which may induce him to
run for mayor in the event that
Mayor Moore, who has announced
he has had enough, does not
change his mind and want more.
Mr.. Sanders is popular and strong
politically.
