private house in town has from
two to a dozen roomers, and the
hotels are crowded to their ut

are not able to feed the people at
all hours of the day and night as
they should be fed, and this is

WILL "COPPERs'
PAY FOR 'EM?
FORCED TO BUY REGULATION
OVERcOATS, THEY RAISE
A PROTEST..

Trouble is brewing in the police
department because the board of
police commissioners have practi-
cally decided that the patrol force
must cast aside their cozy. warm
fur overcoats this winter and be
clothed in classy, regulation blue
overcoats with two rows of brass
buttons all down the front, all at its
own expense. There is an order
in the police department which pro-
hibits policemen wearing their uni
forms on the street when off duty
That asme order will apply to the
regulation overcoats, and there is
where the kick comes in.
Different patrolmen declare that
If the city wants them to wear the
regulation overcoats, it must pay
the cost of having them made. This
cost will amount anywhere from S35
to $50 per coat, and there are many
men in the department who would
be seriously Inconvenience finan-
cially should they be compelled to
buy them. 1t is argued that since
the coats can be worn only while
on duty, they should be city prop
erty, just the same as implements
and supplies used in practically
every other department of the city.
If the order is pushed, patrolmen
declare they will obey it, but will
turn the bill into the city council,
and If it is refused, they will pool
their interests and carry the case to
the superior court. Such was the
case about two or three years ago
when the police commissioners de-
cided they should have squad of
mounted officers, and accordingly
they issued orders for certain mem
bers of the department to fit them
selves with horses and equipment
for the same at their own expense.
Officers Pike and Walker rebelled
and carried the case to the superior
court and won out. The superior
court ruled that the police should
not even be compelled to buy their
own uniforms, since they were pur

SPOKANE WOMAN CHARGES
BIG LOCAL POWER COMBINE

A most remarkable paper on
"The Trusts of All Trusts" was
read this afternoon at the regular
meeting of the Woman's club by
Mrs. Philip Stafford of Cannon hill.
The greatest trust of all, in the
opinion of Mrs. Stafford, is the
power trust, the head of WI h,
she says. is the General Fled ic
Co.
The paper traces the operations
of this trust to Spokane's own
doors when she charges that the
Washington Water Power Co. and
the Inland Empire Traction Sys-
tenn are off-shoot sof this power
ful combine, that is rapidly COB
bling up all of the available water
power sites of the country.
Mrs. Stalford's paper sees the
hand of this trust in the removal
of Arvid Reuterdahl from the head
of the Spokane water system. She
charges that a movement is on foot
to grab the city's water works and
power site on the Spokane river,
and that the power trust is repre-
scented in the present administra-
ton at the city hail. On this head
she says:
"Why was not the work on
water extensions started weeks
ago, Immediately after the plans
were approved? You remember
what l said about the powers want
ing all of the available power
sites? l think this is the whole
reason for this. apparent absurd
lack of action-the General Elec-
trio Co. through its local pawns,
with the mayor, the corporation
counsel and the city engineer sup
porting them, Willingly or unwit-
tingly, is trying to grab the city's
power site"
Mrs. Stafford charges that the
effort to give Spokane a municipal
lighting plant was choked by the
friends of the power trust, and
quotes from the adverse report of
City Engineer Ralston in support
of her argument. She urges the
purchase of a new power site and
the building of a municipal light
ing plant. She says in conclu-
sion:
What we want is not sham re-
form like thai dished out to us by
the Pratt-Federated clubs-Dean
Lockwood combine, but a drastic
revolution that will go to the bot
tom of things"

knew they were the lost boy and

The children, who are cousins,
are son and daughter of two broth
ers of the same name, Pietro Vivi-
ano, in st. Louis.
The photograph of $4,000 worth
of babies was taken just after they
were put In charge of a police ma
iron at the Chicago avenue sta

Their return shows that the
money was paid to the Black

1t is the first time in the history
of crime in this great city that
such a ransom was demanded and
paid.
