COMPANY ASKS
INVESTIGATION
Accepts Full Legal Responsibility for Ter
rible Spokane & Inland Wreck.

The Spokane & Inland company
accepts full legal responsibility for
the wreck Saturday, as the guaran-
tor Of the efficiency of its men.
The company will ask that the
moral responsibility be fixed by a
commission composed of prominent
Washington and Idaho attorneys
and newspapermen.
The company has nothing to con-
ceal and will welcome the most
searching investigation that can be
made.
This Is the statement today of
win G. Graves. attorney for the
Spokane & Inland company.
The men already invited to act on
the commission are United States
District Attorney Avery of this
city, Prosecuting Attorney Pugh.
Corporation Counsel Conner, Unit
ed States District Attorney Lngen-
felter of Idaho, Prosecuting Attor-
ney Potts of Kootenai county.
The date of hearing has not yet
been set. Railroad men will prob
ably be added to the commission.
The latest theory to account for
the extra train pulling out OF Occur
d'Alene on the regulars time Is
that after receiving orders Camp
bell ran down into the yards, the
dispatcher supposing that he in
tended to wait there. Instead he
pulled out for Spokane.

SWEETHEART

SEATTLE. Aug. 2.-Lake Wash,
ington is being dragged today for
the body of Ernest G. Calvert, age
81, of Bellingham, who drowned Sa-
turday night before the eyes of the
girl he was to have married next
day.
Calvert was visiting at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. H. c. Piles, who
live on the east shore of the lake.
He went swimming with the Piles
family and Miss Pierson. Piles and
Calvert entered the water; the
women remained on the bank. They
saw Calvert double up from
cramps. He sank before Piles
could rescue him. Earlier that day
Calvert had saved an exhausted
swimmer.

HENDAY, France, Aug. 2.-Brief
reports from Barcelona today indi-
cate that conditions are MOST seri-
GUS and that the rebels are holding
their own against the government
troops. Official reports that BARGE
Iona is quiet are based on the fact
that the central district of the city
is controlled by troops. The rebels
are active in other portions of the
city and lawlessness reigns in a
larger territory than that subdued
by the troops.
Fighting was renewed in the
outer portions of the city early to.
day, and the death list is said to
be heavy. Reports that $500 have
been killed and wounded in BaEAe
Iona alone are beliexelaproyince of
In other idihie death lists are pro-
bbu5ftionately heavy.
More victories for the Moors be-
sieging Melilla are reported today,
and the Spanish guards are said to
have lost heavily.
Trouble at Madrid, where mob
Kissed the king few days ago, is
anticipated. Rumors of a general
strike similar to that in Barcelona
reached here today. Hundreds OF
rioters have been arrested in vari-
Gus cities throughout Spain, and a
large number of executions took
place in Barcelona today.

IANOSEEKERS
HAVE NO FEAR

Saturdays terrible disaster to
crowded landseeker trains on the
Spokane & Inland had no effect on
the rush today. The trains were
pulling out from this city damned
as usual, and the passengers were
seemingly as indifferent to danger
as before the wreck.
Travel is doubtless safer now. as
the company officials have taken
every precaution to prevent anoth-
er tragedy, but the consequences
to one of the trains, as they are
running now, Is fearful thing to
contemplate. should anything seri-
Gus happen along the line.

FIGURES
ON THE AUTO
fHy United Press.l

DES MONIES. Aug. Records
of the secretary of state show au-
tomobile facts which are attracting
attention of automobile manufac-
turers throughout the country. Con-
sidering the population of this
state, 700 sales and deliveries per-
month is little short OF phenomenal.
This number is but for new regis
trations while there are many more
for cars resold by one owner to an
other.
Taking an average sale price for
each car at $1,000 it will appear
that the automobile business has
been drawing near the commercial
line, and that cars now bought are
as much in use for business puf-
poses as for pleasure. 1t is also
shown that large number of COM
mercial high wheel cars. are sold,
In seasons past the high wheel car
was an experiment, and few sales
were made in this state, It is ap
parent from the new permit record
that about 40 per cent of the ears
sold now are commercial vehicles,
and the high wheel or solid tire
car is the more popular. Rural mail
carriers and country merchants are
using the motor, and in many cases
it is seen that wholesale houses
are using the automobile for trans
portation of their statesmen from
town to town.
Perhaps the most important fact
shown by the records is that there
has been an increase of about GO
per cent In the number OF exclusive
automobile dealers in this state
since July 1.
