STANDS BY RE-
FORM LEAGUE
SpPeckIes Upholds Prosecution
Of Grafters and Supports
Heney for Prosecutor.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-Si-
multaneously with the arrival OF
John K Spreckels from San Diego to-
day his newspaper, the Call, printed
an editorial pledging its support to
the graft prosecution. With relation
TO the candidacy of Francis j. Heney
for the Office of United States District
attorney, it said: He is the only
man now in the field who seems to be
able to fill the bill" Then continu-
Ing the editorial touches upon the
actions of those of the good govern
ment league who sent out marked
Envelopes SO that the voter on the
straw ballot could be identified, and
Il says: The actions of those per-
sons who in the name of the good
government league sent out straw
ballots bearing hidden marks by
which the persons who wished to vote
could be identified and condemned
by the papers, resorted to Russian
spy methods, which should be con-
demned by all"
The editorial further says: "The
Call is on the side of the people in
this struggle and it will stay there.
1t has never wavered in its support
Of the United States district attorney,
and his assistant during their long
fight to catch and convict the author
Of San Francisco's shame. 1t will
continue in this course until there
does not remain one of the grafters
left untried, and it will do it's best to
secure in United States District At
'tOrney Langdon's place a district at
lOrney who will vigorously and efic-
lently carry on the work which was
begun under the Langdon admins
ration. Let it be understood that
The Calls support of the graft prose-
eutiOn is given not ON account of the
relationship W g r u d o p h
SpreCkles, the owner of this paper,
but in spite of it and should Mr..
Spreckles never have been its owner,
IOr had he never had the remotest in
huence in the shaping of it's policies,
It would have still Endorsed the work
begun by the graft prosecution and
mat whether it had. been begun by
smith, Brown or any other man. The
papers that have defended the bride
slVers in this fight, the crooked Oak
and Tribune, for example; the crook
ca Chronicle. and the crooked and
eOEardly Examiner are all nursing
Wounds inflicted upon them by an
outraged public. and are but the cow

Settled by Judge Dietrich.

Case of Brewery Receiyership to be
Settled by Judge DIETRICH.
Pursuant to a petition of the Ex-
change National bank filed in the
bankruptcy case of the Occur d'Alene
Brewing company asking that the
powers of Receiver c. J. Shoemaker
be suspended, Referee L. L. Lewis
yesterday afternoon made an order
directing that his powers as receiver
be suspended and that the property OF
the institution be returned to the pos
session Of the originaI receiver APP
pointed by the state court, A. Min
nick. Mr.. Shoemaker was appointed
receiver for the company by Referee
Lewis at the request of the creditors
who had thrown the institution into
bankruptcy, and an order was made
by Referee Lewis commanding the
state receiver TO turn the property Of
the brewery over TO him. Since then
II seems that Referee Lewis became
doubtful of the legality of his action
and attempts to rectify It by suspend
ing the powers of the receiver,
and the matter viii go before Judge
Dietrich of the federal court for final
adjudication.
The schedule of the creditors OF the
institution was filed with Referee
Lewis yesterday afternoon. and as
soon as a ruling In the case Is secured
from Judge Dietrich the other neees-
sary steps in the case viii be taken.

had no feeling on the subiect-that
It mattered not who the person was
but that the fact remained that the
councils rights had been overridden
and that the petitioner had exceeded
his rights and that some action
should be taken with relation to the
matter.
Councilman Butcher arose and re-
iterated his statement that he be-
lieved that the Sign was traded for
the entrance for the purpose OF injur-
ing the Consumers company, and
that the facts that had developed
from the controversy clearly showed
1t. A motion was finally made al
recting the city attorney to notify
Mr.. Dollar and his agent to replace
the sidewalk In It's original state.
Furnish Lights NJ Cost.
Councilman Olson reported that
the committee appointed to secure
a sprinkler had secured Studebaker
sprinkler and 1t had cost $500. and
then came a report from Councilman
Sheppard, who represented the COM
mittee appointed to confer with the
Consumers company as to whether
a lower rate could be secured for the
lights In the city in the event that
more Of them were used. Council
man Sheppard stated that he had
conferred with Geo. Harding, man
ager Of the company, and that he had
stated that he could not not furnish
lights--no matter how many they
took-cheaper than at the present
rate. He stated that he had InvestI-
gated the much prevalent rumor to
the effect that there was contract
between the city and the Consumers
company whereby the latter was to
furnish the former lights at a cheap
er rate than the present and had
found that there was no such con-
tract. He further stated that Occur
d'Alene was securing its lights at a
cheaper rate than s5 per cent Of the
cities in the United States, and that
when the company were furnishing
the lights at the present rate. s1.2O
a month that It was furnishing them
at cost or lower. Councilman Daugh-
tiers wanted to know how much pow
er the Kootenai Power company was
securing from the Washington Wa
ter Power company and the report
came back, sufficient to supply the
city of Occur d'Alene." The Ques-
ton of installing As additional lights
in the city then arose. and Council

Dollar Does Not Control Me.


Councilman Butcher again rose to
address the council on the matter
and stated that he understood that
the stairway was installed into the
basement on condition that the bar
Der occupying these quarters would
give up the use Of an electric sign
he had installed. He stated that
this trade on the part OF Dollar was
eonsumated with the barber solely
for the purpose of giving him a
chance to vent his spleen on the Con-
sunfer's company, "and ! want to say
row." he said. that VIM. Dollar can
not use me as club against the Con-
sumer's company" He then stated
that the Exchange bank building as
well surrounded by air ways, and
that there We're other property own
efs In the city who would be glad t.
pay the council $40 for the privilege
OF installing each airway that they
could be granted.

Gil, but | want to say that he does

City Attorney Black was then ask
ed to give his opinion as to what ac-
ton could be taken against Mr.. Dol
lar for violating the petition, and In
the course of the deliverance of his
opinion took occasion to state that he
aid not believe that Mr.. Dollar had
been prompted by any motives ex-
coed the rights granted him in til
petition, and that he regretted yer;
much that personalities had been l.
PRODUCED into the matter. He stated
that in his opinion the petition was
Il definite, and seemed inclined IL
think the committee having the mat
ter in charge were responsible for the
condition of affairs. He advised the
council that It was within its power
to direct that the sidewalk be re-
placed by Mr.. Dollar in its original
state.
Councilman Sheppard Replies.
Councilman Sheppard then arose
and addressed the council again and
stated that in his opinion that the
petition was as definite as it was pos
sible to frame it in the English lang
uage and that there was no doubt
but that Dollar and his contractor
had violated it. He stated that he

New Railroad Agent.

j. NJ. Isham, who has had charge
of the Cottage Grove railroad sta
tion for the last six years, has been
appointed to take charge of the
Grants Pass office and is now on
duty at this place. This appointment
is a promotion which carries con-
siderable additional salary. Mr..
Isham worked in the Grants Pass
office three years previous to his
going to Cottage Grove and his re-
turn here is not only satisfactory
to himself, but to his family, who
will follow him here in about 80
days, In speaking of the Grants
Pass of today as compared with six
years ago he says that he notes great
changes, especially among the busi-
ness blocks, as quite a number of
these have been built since his day.
He also mentions the many fine resi-
dences in the town which are all
new to him. He says he is glad to get
back and glad to see his old friends
and meet the new people who seem
to be greatly in the majority
