ARRESTED FOR HE|-
NOUS CRIME
s. e. CAKES, CIRCUS ATTACHE.
ARRESTED AT NOON TODAY
FOR ATTEMPTING ASSAULT ON
LITTLE GIRL.

S. E. Cakes, who is employed by
the Norris & Rowe circus, was ar
rested today charged with attempt
ing a criminal assault On the little
8 year old daughter of Fire Chief ].
E. Throw. The little girl had been
playing in the back yard and was
approached by the man Rowe, who
attempted to assault her. The man
was seen by Mrs. Throw and on her
husbands arrival at noon he was in
formed of the actions of the man
and the officers were notified. Chief
of Police Inscho and Special Officer
Clarke responded at once to the call
and found the man still on the Throw
premises. He was placed under ar
rest and is now incarcerated in the
city Jail. He will likely be given a
preliminary hearing this evening or
in the morning, and as the officers
have plain case against the man
it is likely he will join his compan-
ions, the hOldup men, and will soon
be serving time in Walla Walla. The
man claims to have charge of the
monkey cage in the circus.
The news of the attempted assault
caused great Indignation on the street
today and the Norris & Rowe aggre-
cation were very hardly condemned
for the class of employees they
brought to the city this year.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE
WEDDING

Spokane, May 18.-Beautiful, &C
complished, vivacious and wealthy are
a few of the adjectives employed to
describe the young bride, while tall
and handsome, rich and as a conse-
quence, influential, brilliant and an
ardent devotee to the cause" give
an inkling of the qualifications of the
bridegroom, who are to be married In
the drawing room of a parlor car at
tached to the special train, in which
advocates of equal rights will journey
across the state of Washington on
June 20.
Neither Mrs. Emma Smith De Voc,
president of the Equal Suffrage asso-
Iciation of Washington, nor Mrs. May
cartwright Hutton, head of the Spo-
kane Suffrage club, will disclose the
identity of the hero or heroine of the
romance until the train pulls out of
the Spokane station at 2:30 O'Clock
the morning of June 20, on the way
to Seattle, where the National Amer
can Woman Suffrage association will
have its convention, July l to Z.
Mrs. Hutton said:
"The names of the couple will re-
main secret until it is time to show
to the world that, instead of alienat-
ing women from the fireside, the suf-
frage movement tends toward the
creation of home ties. However, the
brides name is known to many in the
northwest and the bridegroom is
man of much influence"
The train. the first of its kind
run under the direction of suffra-
gettes, will have among it's passen-
gers Rev. Anna Shaw, Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait. president of the In
ternational Woman Suffrage alliance;
Dorothy Dix, Professor Frances
Squire Potter, Sarah Plat Decker,
Lucy Anthony, Charlotte Perkins Gill
man and other women of note, in
GLIDING fraternal delegates from Eur
ope. There will also be delegates
from every state in the Union. A
feature OF the trip across the state
will be speeches from the rear end of
the train at Pasco, North Yakima,
| Ellensburg and Tacoma.

Senator Hudson, of TINS district, is
of the opinion that better work might
have been done by the last legislature
if it hadn't been for the presence of
some members who seemed bent on
obstructive tactics and they were re-
warded by seeing some of the work
which should have been eoml 1leted
go by without having final action by
the senate. Among the mea ures
which Mr.. Hudson thinks should have
been passed which did not pass be
cause of these obstructionists was the
bill amending the railroad comm is
sion act. This bill, says Mr.. Hudso. n,
would have had the effect of definin g
better the authority and limitation S
of the commission, and embodied the.
desirable portions of the railroad
commission acts of other states. The
bill passed the house but died in the
senate. Another bill which met
like fate was the child labor bill, pro-
viding for an Inspector to see to the
enforcement of the existing child la
Dor law.

Prohi Measure Is Effective

Last week The STAR referred edi.
torially to the contention made by
Col. G. B. Wells, of Plant City, that
the proposed prohibition amendment
would be ineffective if ratified by the
people, as the reasons urged did not
seem to US to be well taken at all.
Since then Senator Don. c. McMul-
len. of Tampa, the author of the res
OlutiOn, at the request of Mr.. c. L.
Collins, superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League of Florida, has pre-
pared a reply to Col. Wells, which is
made with reluctance on the part of
Mr.. McMullen, as he doubts the au-
thority of the article and says he
feels sure that Col. Wells never com
posed it.
Senator McMullen, who is an au-
thority not to be lightly considered,
takes the stand that the amendment
will become effective at the time Spe-
cited, should the people pass it next
year. His reply makes a somewhat
lengthy article which he brings to a
close as follows.
There is nothing i'm the contention
Of the Wells article but an effort to
divert the attention of the people
from the real merits OF the fight.
This we will not permit. We are go
ing to fight it out along these lines
mot, IF it takes all summer" as
General Grant said, butt if it takes
ten years.
If anybody thinks that the liquor
people believe with the author of the
Wells article that the proposed
amendment will be void if adopted
just let them wait and see if the liquor
people fight the adoption Of it.
But their fight is a losing one, Rob
ert Mugge, the biggest liquor dealer
of this city, and possibly the largest
individual dealer in the state, said in
an article published in the Tampa
Times of July 2nd that he expected
to be looking for another position in
about two years.
The people of Florida are not going
to permit their fair state to be made
the dump ground for the undesirable
citizens of other states.
We will win by from ten thousand
to fifteen thousand majority.
The Florida star., 1909-07-09

The leveI-headed Mayes, editor of
the Pensacola Journal, says: Even
admitting the argument of Colonel
G. B. Wells, of Plant City-which we
do not-that the state wide prohibi-
bition amendment, if adopted, would
not go into effect until regulating
laws were passed by the legislature,
what would there be to prevent a
special session July lst, 1911, to pass
such laws?" Don'task the colonel
such a hard question, Frank, as he
would probably have to get his head
together with Bob MeNamee in or
der to solve it.

NEWCOMBE SAYS BOTH COOK AND
 PEARY SAW POLE
Bridgeporter Who Reached
 Point 462 Miles from North
 Pole Defends Cook $

Among those who give adherence to the claim of Dr. Cook to be the first white man at the North Pole is pr. H. H. NeWcombe, son of H. A. New combe. 17 Beardsley St., and an exper- fenced arctic explorer. Dr. Newcombe is now engaged in interesting the au- thorities of the several states in the vaccine discovered by Prof. Won Beh- ring, for the innoculation of calves to prevent tuberculosis in them,I but his home is in this city. The Toledo Daily Blade, prints an interview with Dr. Newcombe, who is now the guest of his cousins, Judge and Mrs. Lind ley w. Morris, in that city.
 Dr. NewconIbe said: "The discov- cry of the pole is of no real practi- cal value to any one. It's just stunt. The dash to the pole is just or some other distance.
 'I was veterinary surgeon in charge of 220 dogs and 30 ponies used in connection with the William Zieg- May, 1903 and returned in Sept. 1905, under the command of Anthony Fiala.
 "Fiala's men sailed on condemned Scotch whaler, America, which was lost in the ice, together with half the provisions. The first fall out. The HUI luSi pOlul ISdCHOu Woo O. ut grees, 15 minutes, or about 467 miles south of the geographical pole. The route was not that taken by either Cook Or Peary, but was in the east ern hemisphere, by way of the unin- habited Franz Joseph land, north of Russia, which was also the route ta- ken by expedition of the Duke of Abruzzi.
 With the possible exception of that of Walter Wellman, our expedition" continued the doctor, twas the most grossly mismanaged of any that ever set out for the pole. It was due en- tire1y to mismanagement that we did not reach the pole. We found no nat ural barriers that would have been in surmountable to well equipped ex- petition. After suffering great pri- vations and eating the ponies that did not die of disease we just waited for more than a year for a relief ship.
 ''The best dash F'iala made was south,'' said the doctor, with fine sar- casm.
 saThe fact that Peary did not find the flag nailed to the pole by Cook does not in the least discredit Cook s story continued pr. Newcombe, 1n fact if Peary has claimed any such thing I would say unhesitatingly that it was untrue as shifting ice would have carried away anything in less than a week.
 .'Dr. Cooks attitude is much better than that of Peary. pr. Cook said, when he heard of Peary's discovery, There is honor enough for both of us' Peary said, Liar I know that men who have been north with Peary have not liked him. It is even pos sible that some one may have hurried message to Peary that Cook had found the pole and then that Peary made the same claim himself. But there is no real reason to doubt that both reached their goals. Though perhaps they did not locate the pole within five miles. Their instruments may have varied that much.''

FORMER ASSESSOR
 VICTIM OF NAME
Napoleon P. Bissonnette has to Explain That He is Quite, Another Person. Despite Identity of Cog nOmon,

The man who enjoys an unusual name, which, by his talents he has made well known in his commun- ity, is frequently the victim of his own prominence when somebody bearing the same name, does something. It would be interesting to know how many men who read of the murder of Demery, by Napoleon Bissonette. this morning, thoughtlessly jumped to the conclusion that the man who did the shooting was Napoleon P. Bissonette the former representative. As mat ter of fact MT. Bissonnette, once an assessor. and now a leading contractor. is not even distantly related to the un- fortunate BiSSonnette who was before the City Court this morning. MT. Bis sonnette doubtless feels as if it would sometimes be better to be named John Smith. and to be absolutely unknown. than to have to explain that he is really, don't you know, mot the other fellow at alL''
