Question by Mr.. Smith.

Of existence the sugar rsfineries of
England" inquired Mr.. Smith of Mich
igan.
Mr.. Bristow did not know about that
but he declared that if such Java sugar
could be brought into the Tn ted State
it would permit the American people
10 use it. without paying toll 20 the
American Sugar refinery"
The Dutch standard alone with its
attendant tax" he said. nov prevents
the importation of such cheap brown
sugar"
Il cannot as a United States senator
say to the American citizen that ne
cannot buy a cheap brown sugar II he
wants to do so. declared Mr.. BTistOw
ITO do so would be a tyranny that the
American citizens viii not stand

diferentiai received by the trust on
refined sugar has been increased from
26.5 cents per hundred pounds to 6I.o
per hundred since the Dingley law
went into effect.

P|CKP0CKETS
ARE ACTIVE
CONTINUE TO ROB LAND SEEK
ERS IN SPITE Of CLOSE
WATCH BY POLICE AND RAIL
ROAD DETECTIVES.

While waiting about the terminal
depot this morning, between and
6 o'clock, Conrad Folney, E120 Pa
cific avenue, was robbed of purse
containing about SIS in cash and a
number of old country coins he had
collected as souvenirs.
James T. Wood, resident of
Spokane also, was robbed of his
purse containing about $500 at the
same station yesterday morning,
according to a report left with the
police.
The work is that of pickpockets,
a band of which are operating
along the Spokane & Occur dAlene
electric line and about the stations
at both ends. Hundreds of dollars
in money and valuable jewelry and
trinkets have already been stolen
from unsuspecting landseekers and
the police and detectives are I'M
able to catch them.
The police believe an organized
band of this sort of criminals is at
work. A close lookout is being
kept by the police and railroad de-
tectives and as not single one of
them has so far been caught, it is
evident that the robbers are ex-
tremely clever about their work.
Most of the money that has so
far been taken has been slipped
from the victims hip pockets in
purses. This is poor place to
carry money, especially in a crowd

TO PREPARE FOR
LABOR DAY

A meeting of the delegates of all
the unions in the city, making up
the committee looking after the ar
engagements Tor Labor day. will be
held in the bartenders' hall tomor-
row morning. An effort will be
made by some of the members to
have the entire program arranged
and the place for holding the cele-
bration decided upon.
Mantle park will likely be chosen
for this and it is thought that a
base ball game will be one of the
features of the day. Stone moving
matches among the transfers, like
those of the last celebration, will
be included in the program, If pos
sible. The remainder of the cele-
bration will be much after the
fashion of the programs usually
carried out on Fourth of July occa-
sions.
President Van Lear of the Ma
chinists' International union will
likely be secured to deliver the
chief address of the day. An at
tempt is now being made to get
him and an address or welcome
from the mayor will be called for.
according to some of the present
plans. President Van Lear is an
able speaker and is well liked by
Spokane union men.

The following official statement
is issued in connection with the
new rule:
THE mayor and water commits
sioner in issuing the foregoing
rules as to sprinkling have found
the task of arranging sprinkling
hours with any degree of efficiency
and fairness an extremely difficult
one. The department has been
besieged with suggestions by let
ter from different parts of the city,
by suggestions over the office
counter, by telephone and by depu-
tations. While entirely apprecia-
tive of the interest SO many citi-
zens have shown in the matter, it
has been impossible, as will readi-
ly be seen, to adopt every or all
suggestions offered, seeing that
some entirely antagonize or neu-
tralize others.
'Of course the great difficulty in
the way of equalizing the water
supply for the present is, first, the
unequal contour of the city. and.
secondly, the varied capacity of
the present mains. In the near flu
ture the latter difficulty will disap-
pear and to large degree the diff
ficulty of the differing levels of

UPON THE
PEACEMAKER

The way of the peacemaker is
sometimes as hard as that of the
proverbial transgressor, according
to Officer Lee Downey's version of
1t. Lee attempted to settle a dis.
pute between four irate men of
robust physique last night, and has
a bump on his head today that
would do credit to a captain of a
base ball team.
In fact, he did settle the dispute,
for when Tom Hannigan walloped
him one under the brim of the
helmet he departed from the gentle
manner in which he started in as
peacemaker and soon mad Hanni-
gan, l.. G. Harrison, Ed Beeso and
Harry O'Brien, the warning quar-
tet, seated humbly on the curbing.
Lee stood over them with a club
and kept them good till the wagon
came.
The trouble all happened about

side, where they were trying TO set
tie differences with the use of
fistic arguments. Hannigan gave
Downey a headache, and Judge
Mann gave Hannigan and the 9th.

the different parts of the city will
be overcome.
Then again, any scheme must
be so plain that every citizen can
understand it and the inspectors
able to see that they are enforced.
The rules herewith issued have
been adopted after very careful
study and consideration, not as per-
fectly meeting the need OF each To-
cality, or every citizen, but on the
whole as being as fair all around
as the difficult state of the case
permits for the present season."
BY all night work the damage
at the pump station was repaired
and the water scarcity that had be-
come critical last night is relieved
today. Under the most favorable
conditions now possible, however,
prudence and consideration for the
general good cannot safely be dis
regarded anywhere in the city. A
waste of water in one section
means that some other section is
likely to suffer In consequence.
BY constant labor and the addi-
ton of the new pumps the depart
ment expects to prevent a crisis
for the rest of the hot season IL
given the necessary cooperation by
the citizens,

eastern people who have registered

WAGE HOLOUP
WILL WORK
BOTH WAYS
BOARD WILL NOT AUTHORIZE
PAYMENT ON SPRAGUE JOB
UNTIL WORkiNGMEN GET
LEGAL RIGHTS.

Mayor Pratt today adopted a new
course in the matter. of securing
the legal rate of pay and enforcing
the state and city eight hour law
on public work. Where just COM
plant is made of working longer
than the legal workday without ex-
ira allowance for overtime, or the
wages have been lower than $2.75
per day, the mayor will refuse to
authorize payment from the city to
the contractors until the labor issue
raised is settled according to law.
1t is an advanced variation of the
mayors where there is will,
there's way" policy on behalf of
the workingman.
Officially the matter has to be
passed upon by the board of
works, but it is stated this after
noon that the board would in all
probability back the mayor by for
NAL action.
The first case to be handled this
way is that of Carl Anderson, An
drew Anderson and Fred Johnson,
who today submitted to the board
of works statement showing that
they had worked .or Huetter &
Zirngbl on the Sprague avenue fill
job 10 hours per day at the rate of
$3.50 per day.
The legal workday on public con-
tracts is eight hours, and the city
rule requires payment of $2.75 per
day for that time. On this showing
Carl Anderson claims balance of
$16.40 due him; Andrew Anderson
claims $3.50, and Fred Johnson
$3.50.
The question of law arising in
this instance is whether Huetter &
Zirngbl are doing city work. They
claim they are not, on the ground
that they are taking dirt for the
fill from private property, loading
it onto dump carts before it comes
under the jurisdiction of city con-
tract, and they they are acting in
the capacity of private parties sim
ply hired to do this work regardless
of its possible connection with city
work under way elsewhere. Their
contention is to be tested in a case
