Fan THE MAYOR
CONNOR?

It is a question whether Mayor
Pratt will be able to keep Corpo-
ration Counsel Conner coupled up
with his administration a great
while. Mr.. Conner won't discuss
the matter, but those who know
him are wondering why he busies
himself with the endless amount of
city legal work, when he doesn't
like 1t and doesn't have to do it.
Mr.. Conner is one of the most af-
fable and capable members of the
state bar and has hitherto selected
his private practice, enjoying life
as he went along
In the city office he is up to his
eyes in work that in the main must
naturally interest him about as
much as playing golf with a pick
handle. He took it up on the So
licitation of May or Pratt and Is
sticking to it on that account.
But here are some of the things
Mr.. Conner has accomplished on
this job he doesn't like, although
he will likely quarrel over publica-
ton of it. His predecessors. fear
ing their predecessors would suffer
ennui or something, kindly passed
along a cargo of accumulated labor,
among which was included damage
suits that now amount to total Of
100000. Without making any
noise about it, Mr.. Conner has
made several contractors settle
$4,000 worth of this amount. He
showed them where they were re-
spOnsible for the accidents through
negligence and they concluded it
would be wiser to pay. Being sued
by Mr.. Conner has none of the ele-
ments of Sunday school picnic.
He has also cast rather penetrat-
ing glances over city relations with
contractors in other respects and
the result has not increased his
popularity with said contractors.
His notion of contracts is that they
imply certain obligations that
should be fulfilled. Consequently
he informed the board of works
that a $40 day forfeit must be col
lected for each days delay over the
stipulated time for completing a
contract. The board will admin
lister the medicine to about 80 con-
tractors who have hitherto found
the city very lenient in this matter
There are number of other
charter provisions Mr.. Conner has
resurrected from the innocuous de-
suetude condition. Each of them
has caused uneasiness among non
observers. The city has profited
in each instance.
The city pays corporation coun-
sci $4,000 per year for an amount
of work that would net a railroad
attorney $4,000. He furnishes his
own office and law books. One
stenographer is furnished by the
city to take care of the work of the
counsel, his deputies and the city
claim agent. This stenographer
job Is not rated as one of the civic
snaps.

IS LAMBERT

Councilman Lambert says that
anybody who knew anything about
plumbing would instantly appreci-
ate that he sanitary plumbing or
dinance omitted by the board of
health was a joke and an imposi-
ton. Mr.. Lambert is a plumber.

alton kind.
The biggest part of the ordinance
was the work of Steve Johnson,
also a dyed in-the wool plumber,
the man that MIR. Lambert got ap-
pointed to the position OF city
plumbing inspector.
The board of health also used
the most approved ordinances of
eastern cities as models for the
Spokane law. Yet over all this
labor Mr.. Lambert wakes facetious
and fractions. Which will be dou-
bly, interesting to Johnson.
DR.. Hall. president of the board
of health, says he does not know
what will be done about the matter.
A vast amount of labor was ex-
pended on the ordinance. yet it was
consigned to limbo solely on the
word of Mr.. Lambert.
It would seem a good opportunity
for the city to have the ordinance
exported What doesn't happen to
suit Mr.. Lambert might happen to
suit great many other people who
work harder for their money than
he does, and are therefore intense
ly interested in keeping away from
doctor bills and incidentals of that
sort.

The courtroom was crowded. and
Thaw's actions betrayed nervous

When Thaw said the Lynch

asked why he allowed it to 60 into

spoke about it to his attorney, Lit
Teton, his counsel at the time. He
said Littleton thought that while it
confused it should go into the evil
dence so long as the opposition
used the testimony of Abe Hum

sion of the alleged Matchmaking

denounced.
Thaw denied that his wife had
