IT IS EVERETT and PATTON
Aldermen SquabbIe Over Election Of
Tax Collector
CALLED MEETING SETTLES MATTER
Questioning the Vote Of the Aldermen
Causes an Extra SeSSIOn>tO De.
eide Disputed Point.

The city aldermen were in ses-
sion Friday night and the re-
suit was that party men, or
rather Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, lined up in the city affairs
relative to the election Of men
for certain places.
From the best information at
hand it appears that the Repub-
licans thought they had matters
in their own hands and We're
going to make a clean sweep of
the Offices they had to give, but
it seems in this they had mis-
calculated.
When it came to the election
of city tax collector the trouble
began, or rather the election
when 1T was learned that Mr..
Patton had won by the mayor
casting the vote of his Office to
off set the tie.
On motion it was ordered that
board proceed to the election Of
officers which resulted as follows
Assistant clerk and bookkeeper
L. L. Turner reelected.
City attorney-R. o. Everett,
reelected.
Treasurer-T. M. Stephens. re-
elected.
Street commissioner. S.
Durham, reelected.
Janitor-W. 7. Watts, re-
elected by reclamation.
Market clerk. Y. Reid.
Sexton-J. r. Billings, re-
elected by reclamation.
Tax collector. r. Patton,
reelected.
George w. Watts reelected
trustee sinking fund d. & N. R.
R.
City engineer-W. T. Black
well, reelected.
Tax listers-J. S. Burch and
I j. Winston.
Time keeper and stock clerk
w. R. Lyon, reelected.
On motion it was ordered that
committee of two be appointed
by the mayor to systematic and
devise a plan for making pur-
chases of material and supplies
for the city and reduce it to a
business basis. The mayor APP
pointed on the committee Alder
men Lindsey and German.
On motion it was ordered that
the street commissioners be
directed and required to furnish
a detailed report of all foremen
and. laborers in the employ of the
city and state prices paid.
1t was ordered that section 2
Of chapter 3 be referred to Alder
men Lindsey and German and
city attorney to redraft and re-
port back to the board.
Section 2 of chapter 8 relates
to duties of street commissioner.
The salary of mayor was made
$500 per annum.

MOSES Lake
ELLIOT ANNOUNCES NEW
LINE FROM ADRIAN INTO
HEART OF BIG BEND WHEAT
COUNTRY.

For purpose of opening the re-
gion bordering on Moses lake, in
Douglas county, where 100000
acres can be irrigated, the North
ern Pacific will construct a line
from Adrian on the Great Northern
line to Pasco, passing through
Othello on the Milwaukee line.
This announcement was made to-
day by President Elliott of the
Northern Pacific, who is in Seattle
completing sale of the lands of the
company in Washington.
The line will be an important
feeder to the Northern Pacific, for
it will give an outlet to all wheat
tonnage from the Big Bend country
instead of sending it back to Che
ney or over the mountains by trans
fer to the Great Northern. ~. i =.

SPOKANE WIVES
KNOW HOW
ssuU0eU r.
HERE'S FIRST NSTALLMENT
OF RECIPES ON GENTLE ART
OF CURRYiNG HUBBY THE
RIGHT WAY ALWAYS.

How to hold a husband appears
to be a live issue even in Sunny
Ora Spokane" Judging from the
quick response already received to
The Press request for expert opin-
ions on that proposition from wom-
EN- readers. AS predicted there is
little possibility that Spokane
wives agree with Madam Hatton's
theory of always looking pretty as
the surest method. But read few
of them:
Editor Press-Your very notion OF
getting a woman to write on this
subject shows about how men
think of such matters. Before ask
ing for our opinion why don't you
show US a husband worth keeping.
I've done my best to find for I've
had two and am now enduring the
third. My conviction, borne out by
extended experience, is that none
Of them is worth the trouble of
holding II that requires any trouble
at all. They belong in the category
Of necessary evils. Mrs. J. D.
Here isDsomething In the nature
of an antidote to the above:
Editor Press-l'm not SO worried
about how to keep husband as
how to get one. Can you give me
any Information on that point?
Peachbloom.
Not without specifications, my
dear.
Editor Press-l've never had any
worry over keeping my husband
and here Is the recipe it II will do
anybody any good:
BE nice to other women. You're
the other woman, I'm the other wo-
man, we're all the other woman to
somebody. We've no right to think
the other woman is any more de-
signing or dangerous than we are.
BE neat; u lie worth more than
beauty.
II your husband wants to spend
money let him do ton yourself.
Love him all you can without be-
Ing sloppy. Happy Wife.
Here is the minor chord-the one
that means a heartache:
Editor Press don't know how.
] only wish | did. Lonely.
Editor Press-Let women learn
TO be good cooks, for one way to
keep D mans heart is through his
stomach. Greet your husband
with ! smile, even If your head
does ache. Do not nag. Cultivate
q contented and an agreeable dis
position. BE as entertaining and
attractive as you were while he
courted you, even if II calls for ex-
ertion. Mrs. r. M.

HOME OF JUDGE
IS DISMANTLfD
NEGROES TAKE LAW IN THEIR
OWN HANDS
Judgment Against Court Who Ran
Down Darkey Is Unpaid and VIC
tim Tries to Get What
Is Coming

ATLANTA, Ca, April 9.-The home
of United States Circuit Judge w. b.
Sheppard was dismantled today to sat
isfy a judgment obtained by negro
who was run down by the judges auto
mobile.
A special meeting of the Atlanta
Bar association has been called to con-
slider means of disciplining the negro S
lawyers and forcing reparation for the
Judge. There is great excitement over
the affair, which members of the bar
characterize as an outrage.
Judge Sheppard had agreed to pay
the negroes medical bill and to give him
$50. The negros attorneys rejected this
proposition, however, and swore out a
writ of attachment.
One of the attorneys, accompanied by
a constable and force of negroes, went
to the judges home and found Mrs.
Sheppard alone with her children, one
of them a baby months old. They
seized everything in sight and carted 1T
away, taking all the furniture except
the beds, the clothing of the entire
family, the trunks and even the chill
dren's toys.
All the time Mrs. Sheppard says she
was pleading with the men to wait
until her husband returned, but they
refused, and she says they were rough
and insolent.
Judge Sheppard has bitterly de-
nounced the treatment as not only out
rageous, but as an attack upon the dig
nifty of the United States court.

OSWALD'S VOICE
IS NOT HEARD
-
TELEPHONE IS UNUSED BY
REDLIGHT BOSS
REFUSES TO REVEAL HIS HIDING
PLACE TO POLICE
Grand Jury Probably VIII Make Final
Report on Investigation Into Graft
Monday and Many lndlct-
ments Expected

There was nothing musical in the
ting-a-ling of the telephone bell in the
Office of the district attorneys office
yesterday and the .expectant look on
Mr.. Fredericks' face as he repeatedly
placed the receiver to his ear and was
followed by a mental repetition of the
Fold maxim, Hope deferred maketh the
heart sick"
The expected telephone call from
Nick Oswald, the missing redlight boss,
did not come yesterday, and nothing in
regard to his whereabouts could be
learned, although the assurances of i'm
munity have not been withdrawn and
the reward of $1,000 for his arrest Is
still set aside in a golden heap in the
county treasury, ready to be paid to the
man who will reveal Oswald's hiding
place.
Perhaps Oswald would like to arrest
himself and get the reward" was sug-
gested yesterday. Oswald should be
glad to be assured of immunity from
punishment" is the stand taken by the
district attorney.
BY some persons 1t Is believed Oswald
has investigated, with the aid of legal
eyes, into the waters of the immunity
bath and found them to be shallow, in
spite of their inviting attractiveness.
Still others believe he is being held by
individuals and interests who fear his
presence as Witness DeIOfe the special
grand jury Monday may result in a
mass of indictments being returned.
Effect Is ProbIematicsl
What effect Oswalds absence Monday
will have on the holding of further ses-
sions of the grand fury is problemati-
cal, but judging from what already has
occurred 1t is not at all improbable that
final report may be made by the in
vestigators.
William Lawrence Fetter, Oswald's
associate was unable to appear in JUS
tice Stephens court yesterday to be ex-
amined on the charge of conspiracy in
attempting to evade grand jury sub
poena.
The case was continued until 10
o'clock today at the request of Paul
Mccormick. deputy district attorney.
The hearing of the contempt proceed
ngs In Judge James court, in which
Fetter will be called on to explain his
absence from the jury room Tuesday,
also was continued. Fetter Is still at
the county hospital.
Pierre Lamberese, another person
wanted as witness before the grand
jury, was arraigned in Justice Stephens
court yesterday on a charge of con-
spracy. He was represented by After
ney II. H. Roser, who secured his re-
lease on a cash bail of 500. His ex-
animation was set for April 10 at q
o'clock.

WHERE TO FISH

Dismal tales of fishing continue to
pour in, despite the warm weather of
the past week, although there have
been occasional fair catches at some, of
the beach resorts. Last Sunday, which
is the day most of the regulars go in
for the sport, was a disappointing day,
and from Balboa to long wharf the re-
ports were nothing doing"
Monday and Tuesday few surf and
yellow fin were caught along the west
coast during the week at shutdown.
Pompano were running during several
days at Playa del Rey, Ocean Park and
Long Wharf.
The scarcity Of CLAIMS for bait is
probably one of the reasons why no
fish were caught, as cookies and muscles
make a poor substitute for the big
bivalves, and pile worms, which act as
good lure for corbina and yellow fin,
were almost as scarce as clans. The
coming week the Hartman Fish COM
pany promises to have a shipment of
CLAIMS in time for the regulars, but
orders had best be placed in advance
for the shipment may be a mighty
small one.
The Southern California Rod and
Reel club will hold it's next casting
tournament Sunday at Long Beach.
Take the West Third street cars after
arrival in Long Beach and go to the
END or the line. Iue regular uloiltHty
meeting of the club will be held at Bur-
bank hall Thursday night, April Is.
Tide will be high Sunday at 2;12 p. m,
rising to 3.2 feet. This will make a
very sluggish current in the bays and
channels and probably very poor fish
ing.

SCHOOLMA'AM ARRESTED
FOR WHIPPING BAD BOY
He Gave Cayenne Pepper to Pupils.
His Father Sues for $4,000
Damages

wINsTED. Conn. April e:-Miss
Adele Murray, a comedy teacher in
the Fourth district high school, was
arrested in a $4,000 damage suit insti-
tuted by George Bond, a Winsted po-
liceman, on behalf of his son, Elliott
r. Bond.
1t is charged that the boy was Sc
verely beaten on March "a by Miss
Murray, who used a heavy piece of
sole leather to punish him for making
cayenne pepper into pellets and giving
them to other pupils, who coughed and
sneezed, nearly breaking up the ses-
sion.
She punished him, not over thirteen
blows on each hand. she said, giving
him first ten on each hand, and when
that did not seem to have impressed
him sufficiently she gave him two or
three more on each hand. Mrs. Bond
said her sons hands were black and
blue and his arms were swollen to the
elbows so that he could not feed HIM
self. The marks, she says, are still
visible.
Miss Murray, whose father is brick
manufacturer in Berlin, Conn, gave
bail for her appearance at the May
term of the superior court.
