GLEN CASE
HEARING ON
QUESTION OF FEDERAL JURlS-
DlCTiON RAISED IN EFFORT
TO SAVE CLEiN'S NECK

The arguments on the applica-
ton for a new trial for Paul Klein,
convicted of numbering Jan Sau-
dawski near Fort Wright last
March, commenced this morning
before Judge J. Stanley Webster,
with Alex Winston, attorney for
the convicted man, arguing that
the county courts have no jurisdic-
ton In the case, as the shooting
took place on government reser-
walton. Clein was found guilty of
first degree murder, which means
death.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney A.
J. Laughon has been preparing for
the case for some time, and both
attorneys are backed up in their
contention with numerous deci-
sions.
The body of Saudawski was
found in the snow near Fort
Wright early last spring, three
weeks after he had been shot to
death and. an effort had been made
to burn the body. The personal
effects of the murdered man were
found upon Clein, alias II. w. Will
son. and Paul Krasanowski.
The point raised in Clein's be-
half is 4 new one in the annals of
criminal practice in Spokane
county.

NO WORSE THAN
FLOODS OF NATURE

Mayor Pratt and a delegation of
city officials had planned to go to
Occur d'Alene lake today to see
first hand the actual condition of
the land flooded by the dam of the
Washington Water Power Co. at
Post Falls, but the trip has been
postponed until later in the week.
A tour of the lake will be made
in the gasoline launch of City Engi-
neer Ralston.
1t is charged that the actual dam
age done to land by the dam of the
Washington Water Power Co. is not
as great as made out, as the rights
secured by the w. w. p. Co. from
the government do not permit the
flooding of the lands above the
average stage of high water in the
lake.
Lake Occur d'Alene and the tribu-
tary rivers have always overlooked
the low marsh lands adjacent to the
banks when the water was high,
which was for considerable period
of the year. 1t is claimed that the
height of the flood caused by the
dam of the Washington Water Pow
err Co. Is not near as great as that

FINE FOR
|NSURCERS,"
THAT'S ALL
ESTRADA'S PEACE TERMS
COULDN'T BE ACCEPTED
BY MADRlZ
(By United Press)

MANAGUA, Dec. 30.-General Es-
trada today sent an ultimatum to
President Madriz, according to cur
rent rumor, agreeing to suspend
hostilities and bandon his march
against Managua, upon either of
two conditions.
Estrada demands that Madriz
consent to the selection Of the presi-
dent by the revolutionists or call a
general election to choose the chief
executive. Should the latter alter
native be accepted, the revolution
lists would retain their arms during
the election.
1t is not considered possible here
that Madriz will accept either prop
osition. 1t is certain If the insur-
gents should select a president that
mantle would not fall upon Madriz,
and it appears to be equally GER
tain that if they retained their
arms they would control the cleo
ton. Madriz has appointed three
commissioners with the revolution
airy leaders in an attempt to secure
peace.

TOLL Of
LIVES
Thirty Men Have Lost Their
Lives in Switchmen's
Strike.
ONE Is KILLED HERE

The sWitchmen's strike, which
has demoraized freight traffic in
the northwest for nearly month
has also taken its toll of human
lives.
Locally one man has been killed
and one seriously injured. Reports
today from Minneapolis say that in
all thirty men have lost their lives
in the switch yards along the diff
ferent lines.
These fatalities have been for
the most part among inexperienced
switchmen, working as strike
breakers. Accidental deaths, ac
cording to the report, have aver
aged one each day since the begin
ming of the strike.
Reports from the Twin Cities to-
day indicate that there is little
change in the strike situation. The
roads declare that so far as they
are concerned the strike is over
The strike leaders say, however
that they are prepared to fight to
the end.

tain seasons of the year. The com.
pany's right from the government
to flood the land is limited to the
mean average high water mark
The objection is that the company
maintains this mean average for a
greater period of the year than
nature would.
The city of Spokane ran it's water
plant from the average power de-
rived from the river before the W.
w. p. Co. built its dam, but then
the plant was much smaller than
1t is at the present. Now the limit
of possible power to be developed
by the present city dam has been
reached, and this power. 1t is charg-
ed, would be reduced 60 per cent
in the season of low water If the
storing of the water by the Wash
ington Water Power Co. was order
ed discontinued.

LEMBURG, Austria, Dec. 30
The police force of this city are on
a man hunt today in an effort to
run down desperate pickpockets
who exploded fireworks at NOV
ing picture show last night when
five were killed and 81 seriously
injured.
A panic followed the explosion.
The pickpockets' plan was entire
ly successful, scores being robbed
as they fled through the exits.
1t is supposed the criminals had
men stationed at the doors, while
leaders stood back of the house
and lighted fuses attached to a
number of cannon crackers which
they had concealed under feet. Men,
women and children were trampled
in the frenzy when the explosion
occurred. Someone cried fire"
and the exits were soon blocked
with fighting masses of humanity.

by Judge j. Stanley Webster this

against County Clerk c. Z. Atkin-
son charging him with receiving
the interest from trust funds.
Attorney r. M. Barnhart an
nounced this morning that he
would make application for the or

of w. M. Stafford, superintendent

The Stafford indictment was
quashed on the grounds that the

feet in June made invalid any ac-
ton of the grand jury following
that date.
