The Accident.
How the accident occurred Is Il

theory seems To be that Mrs Stone

The flames apparently followed up
the stream of oil into the can and an
explosion followed. covering the un-

HOPE To CLOSE
TOWN TIGHT

AS a result of the attack on
Olympia, the members of the Sun
day party have returned to Spo-
kane determined to start a crusade
for a closed town, shutting sa.
looms and theaters on Sunday, and
those supporting the movement
are busy today.
The preliminary plans were
started by the contribution of $166
in cash and pledges for 500 more
to make the fight at the coming
election. The new league hopes to
be able to secure some man who is
strong enough to win out over the
regular nominees in the primaries.
A. V. Bradrick was doomed for the
leading place on the ticket, but re-
fused absolutely to have his name
considered. The members of the
party are pledged through the initi-
alive and referendum to make the
attempt to vote Spokane dry in
case the county unit local option
bill passes the legislature.

SYELTE OR STOUT---TAKE YOUR CHOICE
HOW TO GET STOUT

Those who are too thin must
eat more sweets, starches and
oils; must make their lives less
strenuous; must sleep more, eat
more and worry less. When a diet
rich in ordinary sweets, starches
and oils is not effectual, glasses
of creamy milk and raw eggs
should be added between meals
and a tablespoonful OF olive oil
after each meal. II a woman is
rushing through life at a high ten
sion, using up nervous energy, she
must stop and take things easy
realizing that she can gain in
weight as much by restraint In
using up the material she Is TAX.
ing into her body as by increasing
the amount taken In.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-02-03
HOW TO GET THIN

When one has just begun to ac-
quire superfluous flesh complete
abstinence from sweets and starch
es, a moderate amount of food at
all times and daily exercise either
indoors or out will effect a cure.
The effort, however, must be per-
sistent, and the watchfulness must
continue even after the desired
weight has been reached. Spas
modic efforts at diet or exercise
will be absolutely without lasting
results. When ones weight has
crept far beyond the normal
amount the restraint in diet must
be more strenuous and the exer-
else more violent.

DENNIS MUST
PAY MEN

G. B. Dennis had no authority to
sublet the contract for the Sprague
avenue fill and is responsible for
the payment of the employees, &C
cOrding to the board of public
works. Mr.. Dennis was called up
this afternoon by Corporation
Counsel Hamblen, and promised to
adjust the claims of the Italian
workmen Immediately.
The men, it appears, were ten
dered checks January 20 based on
a rate of 1925 a day for 10 hours
and $1.75 a day of eight hours,
but refused to accept them. This
payment was offered after they
had worked almost three months
on the job. Contractor Huetter
paid Tony Filigno money to pay off
the men January 1, but this was
not checked out, according to Mr..
Dennis.

GROCERS WANT
FREQUENT CASH

Wholesale and retail grocers met
jointly last night at the regular bi
weekly meeting of the Retail Gro
GERS association, and discussed
legislation providing for weekly
pay days by employers, in order
that all grocery bills, both whole
sale and retail, might be squared
up at the end of each week.
The advantage urged for such
legislation is that should such law
become effective, consumers and
failing retail grocery concerns
would have less opportunity to
beat large grocery bills. The meas
ure will come up at the present
session of the legislature, and con
siderable support is promised it.

SPRAGUE F|LL| IN
TROUBLE

The work of completing the
Sprague avenue fill under what is
now crossed by the long wooden
trestle was to have been com
pleted on or before August II of
this year At the present rate the
work will not be completed for
three or four years, and the board
of public works will find itself in a
peck of trouble from present indi
cations.
Supervision of the work under
the board has been allowed to
drag. and but small fraction of
the fill has been completed to date.
The contract was let to G. B. Den.
mis- and then Sub-let in turn to
John Huetter and Tony Filigno, an
Italian. The penalty for the fail.
ure to complete the work in the
specified time carries with it a
penalty of $40 a day.
The fill is due to cause another
complication. as was shown by
City Comptroller Farley this
morning. The city engineers Office
has had men detailed to superin-
tend the necessary engineering,
and this work has been charged up
against the contractors. The city
is bound to pay $4,000 to the con-
tractors on demand, and when this
demand is made there will be an
Offset of $1,000 for the engineers
Office. This is the amount to date,
sand it is growing at the rate of
5000 a month.
In the contract there is nothing
which sanctions the payment OF
the engineers out of the contract
price, and the matter is certain
to result in a tilt. 1t has been
suggested that If the work is to be
completed in time for the fair il
will have to be greatly expedited
and in view Gf the dilatory action
of the board may lose control OF
the matter and the responsibility
be shifted to the engineers office
A number of Italians who have
been employed on the work have
appealed to the board for theii
money. claiming they have worked
since November on the job and
have received no pay. The board
will come Immediately to the res
cue of the Italians who got the
work in preference to taxpayers
and will attempt to adjust the mat
ter. The city is empowered under
the contract to pay the wages, no,
to exceed the estimate of the work
completed. Whether the men are
TO be paid at the city scale of So 5
or $1.50, the price of cheap foreign
labor. remains to be determined
II they are paid at the higher wage
the Italian contractor will find
himself with cash book full OF
red ink on the completion of the
fill.

We have just received from the
Kimball factory shipment of
magnificent Kimball pianos and
organs, containing all the newest
designs.
There is not piano made that
stands the test of time better than
the Kimball. Every feature from
the material of the inmost parts to
the exterior finish Is given great
care. The Kimball oak cases are
said to be the most exquisitely
finished of any piano made.
Do you know that you can buy
a Kimbal of Eilers as cheap as
you could right at the factory door
in Chicago? We are factory dis
tributers for the entire Pacific

SCAlER CAUGHT
At FERn|E
WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO
FACE CONSEQUENCE OF Al.
LEGGED BETRAYAL OF GIRL
FROM COUNTRY.

Fred Scaler, for more than a
month a fugitive from justice, has
been captured in Fernie, B. c., and
will be brought by the authorities
back to Spokane to pay the penalty
of wronging simple country girl
but II years of age.
While the country has been
secured for Scaler by the authori-
ties the girl has been held at the
Florence Crittehdon Home as a
state witness.
The warrant charging Scaler
with the statutory offense was
sworn out by officer Bill Shannon
after he had wrung a confession
from the girl. According to the
girls statements, Scaler brought
her here from British Columbia
and cast her aside, refusing even
to provide her with food and cloth
ing.
Scaler was then working in his
brothers kid" Scaler's, saloon.
but before a warrant could be is
sued he left the city and his
whereabouts were unknown till a
telegram was received by the po-
lice last night, notifying them of
his arrest in Fernie. Arrange
ments are being made today to
have Scaler brought here by the
county officials.
The girl is reported to have for.
merly resided in Colville, Wash;
also to have been married more
than year ago. Later she sep.
arated from her husband and came
with Scaler to Spokane from
Canada.
