LANDLORDS MAKE PROTEST
ON CITY'S LICENSE FEES
Petition from Seventh Ward Declares
Salvation Army Is Favored and
Demands Same Privilege

A number Of persons who subscribed
themselves as the Landlords and land
ladies of the Seventh ward" presented
a petition and protest to the council
yesterday.
They protested against what they call
unfair discrimination in favor of the
Salvation Army. They declared that
they have to pay a license fee every
month or they are not permitted to
take in dodgers, but that the Salvation
Army, which they call "a mUlti-million-
aire organization" conducts lodging
houses and does not pay this license
fee.
While the Salvation Army pays the
fee every month. it is remitted by the
finance committee every month. The
lodging houses of the Salvation Army
are semi-eharitable institutions, and
the council does not believe 1t should
accept a license fee from such sources,
The matter was referred to the city
attorney for his opinion.

jury at Couer d'Alene investigating
the wreck on the Couer d'Alene and
Spokane railroad Saturday last in
which fifteen lives we're lost and
1O2 injured, returned a verdict to-
night that the wreck was caused by
the special train out of Couer
d'Alene running without orders, the
special running on the time of the
regular from Spokane; the conduc-
tor and motorman of the special
falling to register out as required
by the rules, and by the failure of
the company to stop the practice of
allowing the conductor to register
for the motorman in not requiring
the brakemen to be informed of the
contents of the train orders.
