GRADUATED DEAL
FOR WATER PIPE

If the city takes over the water
system in Mantle Park belonging
to the Observation-Disclosures I'm
provement Co. there will be no fiat
rate paid for the entire system. &C
cording to the outline Of the plan
described by Commissioner Wet
gel.
The plan is to pay a proportion
of the net earnings from every
main taken over to the company
this to include the revenues from
the wooden mains and those only
four inches in diameter. At the
moment the city has occasion to
condemn any main and replaces II
with its own, the revenue to the
company Is chopped off at tina,
time.
Should the system be taken over
the mains now in use will be kept
In service for the time being. Some
OF them are in poor condition and
will have to be replaced almost
Immediately. Another objection IL
that number of the mains are
laid on the wrong side of the
street, through private property
and at varying depths, but the city
expects to gradually install new
mains to conform with the prac
tice of the city.
+ While the company asks over
SIC, 900 for the system, 1t is figured
that the city will reject enough OF
the mains to bring the net returns
to the Observation-Disclosures Co
much below this figure when tn,
final payments are made.

TO LET RED
OFF EASY

The prosecuting attorneys Office
in all probability will not invoke
the habitual criminal act against
Montana Red" Smith, the profess
sional burglar, recently convicted
in the superior court, but will rest
content with a sentence imposing
the limit for burglary of IA years.
Smith Is now Al years old. and has
spent IS years of his life in prison,
having served four other sentences
in various states The imposition
of the full ii year term will make
him 55 years of age before he can
again regain his liberty, and the
states attorneys do not think that
Smiths life will measure much be-
yond that period.
To secure a life sentence for
Smith under the habitual criminal
act, the state would be required to
go to an expense of several hun
dred dollars. in calling witnesses
to Spokane from penitentiaries in
distant parts of the country.

COUNTERFE|TER
CAPTURED

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2S.-
Robert Bradley, refined and edu-
Gated, accused of making counter
felt half and quarter dollars, is in
Jail today after a desperate strug-
gle with three secret service men
in which Josie Livingston, living
with Bradley as his wife, scratched
Detective Mcmahon. The evidence
is two sacks of half dollars and
quarters of excellent workmanship.
The Bradley girl first rented a
bungalow on Ocean highway.
where the counterfeiting plan was
set up. The agents followed
Bradley to public library, where
he studied metallurgy. He was
then trailed to where he bought
supplies. When the couple moved
to the heart of the city the agents
decided to make a raid.
They broke into the home last
night. Bradley seized a revolver
but had no chance to use it. In
rage the Livingston woman flew
at the officers. When she saw
Bradley disarmed she stopped
fighting and began to weep.

But he reasoned that as he was
perfectly willing to be investigated
any time anyone was curious, he
thought the other members were
possessed of the same obliging dis
position.
Senator Polson's controversy
with the senate in a measure is
a kin resemblance to that between
the president and congress over
the secret service. The senate is
not going to be bothered with any
investigation of itself.
But before the session is over
the condition of affairs in some
of the Offices in the state capitol is
going to be brought before the le,
gislature in a manner that will
compel action. There are plenty
of members of both houses who
are willing to let Root go his way
without another word but who are
anxious to know II they have
heard all And as this curiosity
grows theh legislature will have to
take official notice.

Especial to The Press)


OLYMPIA, Jan. 28.-When Sen
ator Poison of Chehalis attempted
to secure an investigation of the
supreme court, the insurance com
missioner's department and of the
conduct of the members of the le-
gislature, he made his resolution
too wide.
The resolution was killed simply
because it took in members of the
legislature.
Naturally there was the time
worn grandstand play about drag
ging the judiciary through the
mire." Pure buncombe. this was,
for the mud besmeared ermine of
the judge that might result from
the investigation was as nothing
beside the possibilities of the
Management of the senatorial toga.
There are members of the le-
gislature who use telegraph and
telephone franks. Whether or not
they have them by reason of their
position in the legislature, or by
previous friendliness with the cor
poration is not possible to deter
mine. Whether or no so small a
favor as frank would influence
legislation Is debatable, but the
fact remains that they have been
used
The frank custom is an old one,
like the custom of furnishing mem.
bers with free cases of Olympia
beer. Amy member who wishes
may have case of beer today
from the local brewery, and there
are few who are said to be ac-
cepting this favor. 1t is generally
understood that this is merely for
advertising purposes, and. of
course, no man is expected to
change his vote by reason of a
present which could have been
purchased for $3.50.
Senator Poison made his error
in dragging this rather small mat
ter into a resolution which was
imminently proper. He offended
the delicate sensibilities of the
senators and his resolution was
killed.
Senator Poison has not done
with the question. He may leave
out the legislators the next time.
Parliamentary rules will hamper
him in getting another try, but
one way or the other he will do it
And when once Poison starts he
might go to the bottom.
He will not rest until the ques
ton OF the integrity and cleanli
ness Of the supreme court is set
tied once and for all; he will not
rest until the charges that have
been made time and time again
against Insurance Commissioner
Shively are disposed OF.

with Scandinavian up-bringing

BRAVE BUNCH

PITTSBURG, Jan. 2S.-Mrs. c.
A. Severance, wife of an attorney
for the interstate commerce COM
mission and well known on the
coast, declares the exact number
killed in the collision of the Re-
public and Florida was not told.
She said two men died in her

more died than the officials admit.
saw not few dead under the
blankets" she declared.
while it is generally reported
that everybody on the Republic be-
haved bravely, l must say the re-
ports are greatly exaggerated.
Some of the men were craven cow
ards. One of these, whom | under
stand to be a prominent New York
tinancier and clubman. said he

head of the Scot and the slow,
dauntless determination of the
Scandinavian.
Otherwise he is probably the
biggest lumberman who lives in
the state of Washington. He is a
millionaire twice over and as indie.
pendent of men and dollars as any
man who lives. Naturally he fears
nothing.
AS a personality he is the most
interesting in Olympia. Born in
Nova Scotia of Scot parents, he was
left an orphan and adopted by a
Scandinavian family. In 1876 he
struck Deadwood as boy and for
the next 80 years combined life
of physical and financial venture
as is seldom read Of AS cowboy
and prospector he roamed the
Arizona desert in defiance of
Geronimo; he has freighted in
Mexico, prospected all over Wash
ington, been fiat broke a dozen
times and last year he broke the
record cut of lumber in the state
of Washington
Big, simple, direct, with the
smile of a child, he never hes
itated to brave the wrath, dis
pleasure and resentment of his
friends in the senate when he de-
cided to introduce his resolution.
Once he had made up his mind
that 1t was right, nothing on earth
would have headed him an inch
out of his way. He is big in body,
mind and heart, but as he says
himself in his slow, soft voice, Il
was poor, now I'm rich; but no
matter how rich | am, l cannot be
greater or stronger or better than
the people"
That's Senator Poison. He will
do nothing spectacular. He will
throw of no sparks of friction as
he heads to where he is going; but
he'll get there. and when he ar
rives he will get all there is to
get.
A better parliamentarian, a
shrewder and perhaps less honest
man, would have realized that TO
affront the senate as did Senator
Poison would be to invite defeat.

WORK IS
RESUMED

Work on the construction of the
Spokane, Portland & Seattle road
has begun again on the high grade
west of Hangman creek and all
along the line to Cheney. The new
road will enter Spokane over the
Great Northern tracks, connecting
with that road near Greenwood
cemetery. The connection with the
Northern Pacific will be made at
two junction points. the first mid
way between Spokane and Cheney
and the other at Cheney.
For the purpose of connecting
with the Great Northern, an expen-
slve right OF way was recently pur.
chased across one corner of Green
wood cemetery by the Hill inter
ests for the purpose Of building q
tunnel to aid in securing an easy
grade into the city by the Portland
line.
Engineer Craig Of the s., p. & s..
informed the county commissioners
while engaged in the settlement of
some grade crossing disputes that
the completion of the line into Spo-
kane will now be pushed with top
speed, and that the company hopes
to have through service from Spo-
kane to Portland before many
more months.
The dispute between the county
and the s., p. & s. over four or
Ave grade crossings over the new
road has been amicably settled.
The commissioners drove over the
nAl, line yesterday and viewed the
crossings along with Engineer
Craig of the company. The cross
ing through the deep eat south of
Cheney has been avoided by the
establishment of new crossing at
one side Of the cut, thus avoiding
the element Of danger due to the
inability to see the approach of
trains by people using the crossing.

Covering the man with his gun, he
made him turn over the small
amount of money on his person.
after which Thompson walked
away a short distance and cast his
revolver into the gutter. He was
arrested soon afterward and has
since been in jail.
During the recital of the crime
by Mr.. Donovan and while his plea
for Thompson was in progress, the
prisoner and his family sobbed
piteOusly.
The deputy prosecutor said that
If there ever was case that de-
served the sympathy of the court
this was one. Unfortunately, Mr..
Donovan continued, the law was so
rigid on the crime of robbery that
not discretion remained with the
court but to pass sentence, but
that the state could be of great
service to the prisoner at bar in
the use of it's good Offices in Sc
curing his immediate pardon.
Judge Hinkle said that the stat
ute gave him no option in the
crime of robbery but to pass the
minimum sentence of five to 20
years in prison, which was imposed
on Thompson. The court said that
he felt the punishment was too Sc
we're in the case of Thompson, but
no discretion rested with him in
the case.
An effort will be made at once
by Thompson's attorneys, assisted
by the counsel for the state, to
secure the pardon of the unfortu-
nate laundry collector.
