DECLARED

SPOKANE, Nov. 1.-THE fed

with the Spokane police to the ex
tent that the guard house at Forl
George Wright, where six hun
dred colored troops are quarter
ed, has been turned over to the
police to be used as a temporary
jail.
A hundred Industrialists, of
whom twenty will ibe deported as
aliens, have been taken there
The police have possession of an
abandoned schoolhouse and now
have room for five thusand pris-
oners.
Thirty government emigration
officers have reported here fol
the purpose of ferreting out alient
for deportation.
Revolutionary recruits are ar
irving from the entire Pacific
Northwest, Middle West and parts
of the East.
After nine days of steady fight

more serious, despite the hunger
strike among the convicted IN,

Martial Law Predicted.
The police are dou bling the spe-
cial force, yet they fear they Will
soon be unable to cope with the
situation. 1t is predicted thai
the city will be under martial law
within week.
Starve For Seven Days.
More than two hundred Indus
trialsists have not eaten for seven
days, thrusting the bread and
water out of their cells when Of

of physicians on account of theif
refusal to eat.
The city is flooded with Pink

are agitating the formation of a

crisis may be peacefully passed
but, unless the socialist forces
weaken very materially or the au-

the crisis will be anything but a
serene affair.

Ray w. FELTON,, a newspaper re-
porter, who interviewed Mrs

He told her admissions to him

lot of nerve for a man whose past
is like the councilman who has
spoken to get up here and make
charges like this, where he thinks
no one will have a chance to re-
ply. But l will put my character
up against yours any time"
So the battle ran.
When 1t had quieted down a
little, the additional inspection
was provided for. The commit
tee also recommended an extra
clerk in the light office to re-
write the books. This has to be
done once a year.
This gave Wilkeson another
chance, and also permitted Turn
bull to have a few turns at Lau-
zon.

II say there are clerks enough
there to do this extra work if they
were put at it, but with an In
competent electrician in charge 1t
lis not done. Why, today a man
came over from Seattle to do
some work and set up some ma
chimes, and the electrician could
not be found. After long
hunt, he was finally found in a
pool room playing pool" said
Wilkeson.
"It is not true shouted Lau-
zon, jumping up. "I want those
charges proven. say it is not
fair for such charges to be made
here without proof"
Wilkeson was not forthcoming
with the proof, so Turnbull
jumped in.
Lauzon was asked II any man

him. He said not that he knew

course he does not know of it.
He never knows of anything we
ask him. He did not know where
the cooking utensils were, he
didn't know" But 1t was the
same old story Turnbull gets off
whenever he gets a chance to talk
about Lauzon, and the council
does not believe a word of it and
pays no attention to Turnbuli any
way, so President Hawthorne
trapped him down and choked of
the TRADE.
And the extra clerk was al.

May Force Resignation

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Mat-
ters are coming to a climax in the
Ballinger-Pinchot controversy, and
President Taft will be called up
on to remove either one or the
other In a very few days. Friends
of each are insisting upon the dis
missal from office of the other,
but so far the president has been
unable to decide what course to
take.
That some radical change must
take place soon, is almost certain,
for feeling today is running higher
than ever in relation to the diff
ferences between the secretary of
the interior and the chief forester
1t has been suggested that Sec
retary Ballinger be given a diff
ferent cabinet position, such as the
war portfolio, which would re-
move him from further conflict
with Pinchot, and still show the
presidents confidence in him.

RENO, New, Nov. lit is
understood here today that Mar
garet Ellington, the actress, who
was divorced yesterday from Dan
iel Frohman, the famous theatri-
cal producer of New York, will go
very soon to Tacoma, where 1t is
said that house already has been
furnished and prepared for her
reception. 1t is rumored that she
soon will be married to Edward
j. Bowes of Tacoma.
Miss Ellington, with her par
ents will leave here tomorrow for
San Francisco, and from that city
it is expected that they will pro-
ceed northward.
Speaking today of the divorce,
which was obtained late yester-
day after brief hearing in court,
Judge Massey, who represented
Miss Ellington, said:
"Frohman not only refused to
support fs wife, but he charged
her with the cab fares to and from
the theater when she was acting
for him, and he told her that he
married her for business consid-
.erations only, because together
they could make lot of money. {"

By way of illustration he tells the following story
himself:
When he the run between Liverpool and
Boston, fashionable matron of the latter city in
vited him to attend a lawn party at her summer
home. The invitation verbal one and she was
insistent Captain Hambe1ton threw up a strong
bulwark of excuses; but she was obdurate and he
finally forced to accept.
In the forenoon of the appointed day he started
in good faith for a train to the matron's country
home; but the way he met the Captain of the
Saxonia, whom he had not seen in two years.
Where you going, Hambelton? = inquired the
latter.
ITO lawn party don't want to attend" replied
Hambelton.
Cant you change your and head to the
suthard with me? asked the other Captain. I'm
going to the ball game.
'All right said Hambeton well go to the game
have dinner, and go to the theater this evening"
The matron and her guests waited in vain for
Captain Hambelton. She telephoned to the steamer,
and found that he had started for her home Surely
accident must have befallen him!
He did not meet her again until he had made
era trips to Liverpool and had forgotten the incident
Then the matron taxed the skipper with his breach
of etiquette.

"Oh, that dreadful affair! Of course you have

quietly.

sharply
That's rather nasty and uncaled for charge to
make against the Commodore of our feet!'
Il repeat it, continued the banker calmly.

This incident occurred off the Flemish Caps to the

Republic rammed by the Florida and sent to
bottom under thick Nantucket fog.
The story of it never found its way to print; but
it is situation that may confront the transatlantic
Captain at any time; merely one of the many hair

of ocean travel; one of the numerous occasions when
passengers have been snatched from death unawares

Two Points of View
A CONVERSATION heard recently in the smoking
room of an inbound express steamer may give
slight idea of the steamship Captain as he is
regarded by landsmen and the line owners. The
commander of this particular vessel had just passed
through the room and exchanged pleasantries with
group of men including a merchant banker, and
the vice president of the company The skipper had

pilots the Atlantic. The ability and response
bility stored up in that at would bring
land many times his present salary. I've offered to
take him with me at twice your figure; but he won't
give up the ship
The vice president pocketed his resentment quickly
when the matter of underpaid responsibility
flung at him and remarked that three thousand
dollars year good enough for any Captain,
the supply of good greater than the
demand.
Contrasted with the Landsman
NOWHERE on land has any man more absolute
power at his disposal than has the Captain of
liner at sea- He is sole master of the ship he
mands; supreme ruler of the community he carries,
though it's aggregate wealth be billion. By
word he put the wealthiest man in the world in
irons if that individual passenger and merits such
attention, and without trial or hearing he slam

turn the lock on him, however powerful he may be

The Captain of ocean liner is usually a versatile
The variety of his duties and his constantly
changing associates give him wide knowledge of

how they are being conducted by his subordinates.
