HARRY ISN'T IN
ON GAME
FEELS SURE THAT FASSETT IS
NOT HOOKED UP WITH
PRATT, BUT THE STATE
MENT STANDS, JUST THE
SAME,

Harry Rhodes, Fassett campaign
manager, asks The Press to pub
lish what is quoted below, and It Is
published as much as favor to
Harry as for any other reason.
He is undoubtedly sincere in
what he says, for Harry is clean
and square, but he simply hasn't
been let in on something he
wouldn't stand for. The deal was
arranged before he was made man
ager.
The press, not Senator Hutchin-
son, made the charge that if Fas.
sett lost, his lineup, so far as it
could be handled, would be swung
to Pratt. The charge is repeated.
That is the understanding which
Fassett campaign contributions
and support came from Cowles,
corporations and business men
generally. A number Of these gen
tlemen have admitted it, And in
numerous cases the preference is
for Pratt. 1t is known that he can
be made to see things different at
times, as in the case of the anti
pool warfare.
The Fassett-Pratt plan is the
sure thing game in politics, but
the difficulty will arise in making
the old timers play it-especially
when it comes to nominating ONO
to make Pratt secure.
However, here is what Harry
says:
THE statement in your paper
that Mr.. Fassett's candidacy was
being managed in the interests of
I'M. Pratt or Mr.. ONO, or anybody
else, is absolutely untrue. Mr. Fas-
sett's candidacy has been fought
straight out on the lines of NOM
mating Mr.. Fassett. There has
never been any deal or understand
ing of any kind or character what
ever with any other candidate. 1t
is true that at the First Methodist
ShoiSh hi. uooCCI Apl CooCu
self in words of sympathy for Mr..
Pratt in his bereavement, and l am
surprised that anyone has criti-
cized him in so doing, because he
did only that which was decent
and commendable in any man.
I'VE have this fight won. Mr..
Fassett will carry every ward in
the city except the Second. He
will have the highest vote in the
First and will have majority of
all the votes cast in the Third,
Fourth and Fifth. Reports coming
to me in the last few days indicate
a landslide. l think my former
estimate of 500 votes was too low.
l think Mr.. Fassett will receive at
least 5000 votes in the primary
election. l think that is a con-
sentative estimate"

COPS NEED

BAD SEASON FOR
SCARLET FEVER

There were more deaths from
scarlet fever in Spokane during the
month of March than there have
been in the city during the last
five years. The total number of
deaths reported out of 73 new cases
was eight. This is an unheard OF
ratio in this city. and the explain
alton is that the fever has either
been light and not reported in a
number of cases and thereby
spread, or else 1t has been of a
virulent form and the patient has
been beyond hope when the ply
stefan was called.
The report for the month also
shows total of 26 cases of diph-
iberia and two deaths, two cases of
smallpox and no deaths and 100
cases of measles and two deaths. !.

H|NKLE CLAIMS
$500 VOTES

The followers OF ]. Grant Hinkle
have given out the estimate that
Hinkle will poll 250& votes tomor-
row in the primary election. OF
this number 100 are coutned on
from the churches. There are 10
churches in the city and the Hinkle
forces are also claiming almost the
entire vote OF the Y. M. c. A.. but
this is disputed by the Fassett
forces. 1t Is recognized that Hin
kle will secure a considerable vote
from the prohibition forces and will
also get complimentary vote from
many who have admired his stand
on the saloon question. Hinkle
win close his campaign this even
ing with addresses at the United
Brethren church. the Swedish tab

ter Power car barns. His meetings

HAD HIS AK READY

William Masters, a dishwasher,
whose actions have been peculiar
for some time, is in the city Jail
suspected of insanity. WheTf the
officer, Woodcock, went to his room
in the Ackley lodging house Satur-
day afternoon to get him, after he
had seized the landlady by both
hands and attempted to strike her
in the face, because she had boned
him for his delinquent room rent,
he had a well-sharpened axe within
convenient reach. d u
He had prepared this means of
defense against soldiers, - he told
the officer, as his pale thin face
drew down to real serious lines and
his voice dropped to a mere whis-
per. Officer Woodcock began to
edge toward the door at this and as
soon as an opportunity afforded it
self he called the wagon. t5ct
1t is Masters hallucination that
soldiers are continually following
him, for twice recently when. re-
porting at restaurants to take some
job, he no sooner got his apron on
when he tore it off and refused to
work, because he declared the cook
or some one else around the place
was a soldier. The officers are
afraid to let him go without an ex-
animation as to his sanity, fearing
that he may become violent at any
time. He is about 80 years old and
knows nothing of his relatives.

STAND
BEHIND PUGH

County Commissioner ]. IS. Phil
lips Saturday afternoon received a
Quet tip that Prosecutor Fred G.
Pugh was to be held for contempt
proceedings in connection with the
grand jury investigation of the
Root-Gordon case. Phillips imme-
diately hurried to Judge Huneke's
court room to give personal bond
for Pugh, should the same be re-
quired. He was surprised to find
that instead of Pugh it was the
other side that was in trouble.
Rumors of probable trouble for
Prosecutor Pugh had been in circu-
latiOn during the discussion in
court over taking of shorthand
notes in the grand jury room, but
Pugh weathered the storm in good
shape, without having to go to Jail
Or even being fined, although some
such action would have given the
attorneys for Judge Gordon great
deal of pleasure.
The ruling of Judge Huneke Sat
urday on the question of shorthand
notes in the grand jury room is
satisfactory to Mr. Pugh, who will
abide by the orders of the court.

HINDU RELIGION
HOODOOED HIM

The fact that Mrs. Williams H.
Bach joined some peculiar Hindu
belief that caused her views of-the
marital state to undergo a change
was deemed sufficient ground by
Judge e. H. Sullivan to grant the
husband divorce today In the SUI
perior court, The granting of the
application was not, opposed by
Deputy Prosecutor Cromwell, who
appeared for the state, because of
the default of Mrs. Bach.
Bach said his wife, after Joining
the new faith, held that the mar
ried relation was low and degrad-
ing and against the ordinances of
God, and that thereafter he was a
stranger in his own home. Bach's
mother supported his statement
and said she had tried to reason
with Mrs. Bach but In vain.

SCHILLER HAS
HARD FIGHT

Councilman Jacob Schiller is up
against a hard fight for renomina-
ton in the Third ward, according
to reports. Two precincts in par
ticular, Cass and Carr, are reported
as strong for w. H. Shields, who is
the opponent and who is making a
fight on prohibition and anti-li-.
quor plank. While Mr.. Schiller is
admittedly one of the brainiest men
in the council his connection with
the liquor business is being made
the most of by Shields and the
fight is reported to be cutting into
Schiller's vote.

COUNTY WILL
MAKE C0FF|NS

The most recent occasion for the
demonstration of the policy of
economy upon which the county
commissioners have launched is in
the building of collins in which the
unfortunates who die at the poor
farm are buried.
On investigation the commission
ers learned that the dead at the
poor farm, who numbered Is during
March, were buried in plain pine
collins, stained and vanished and
trimmed up with little muslin.
George T. Warbis. who runs a car
penter shop at Spangle, has been
the official coffin maker of the
county for years and has found the
business lucrative one at 81 per
coffin.
On their visit to the poor farm
few days ago cabinetmaker con-
fined there agreed to make the
county collins at a figure that
would be about one-half the price
heretofore. paid by the county, the
county to buy the materials and he
to do the work alta very nominal
cost. This was agreed upon and
the county commissioners have or
dered the. first bill of lumber at
$fS per thousand feet, from which
Spokane county will make its first
lot of collins.
The cabinetmaker is anxious to
gol to Arizona and thinks he can
earn enough in this way to earn
his fare after few months.
