With Deadly Toy.

A little lad named Ingils, age
about II years, is the one who,
with a small revolver, shot little
Freddie Hildebrand. aged about 2h
years, at his home, E170S Eighth
avenue, Monday night. Almost
heartbroken over the damage the
shot he fired for boyish sport had
done, the little Ingils boy was
brought before the police last night
by his father.
1t was learned that he shot the
revolver by consent of his father,
and that Mr.. Ingils has agreed to
bear the medical and doctor bills
incurred by the baby victims ILL

Mann, Mr.. Ingils was allowed to
tack his boy back home, clearly
understanding that he must be

Center Attack on Pelletier,
Pughs Deputy.

this, telling Judge Huneke that he
should accord Pelletier the same
courtesy shown the lawyer for the
Great Northern.
Judge Huneke seemed to
think this unnecessary, whereupon
Prosecutor Pugh arose and said
that If suitable time for prepare
ton were not given he would take
a change Of venue from Judge
Huneke's court. Judge Huneke
told Pugh he could take a change
il he cared to; that this was his
privilege.
After some further discussion 1t
was agreed that the hearing for
contempt in the Pelletier case
should be called at 2 o'clock tomor-
row afternoon.
The AFFIDAVIT of Attorneys Graves
and Post charges that Deputy
Prosecutor Pelletier. with the con-
nivance OF F. c. Pugh, his chief,
took the testimony Of witnessed
before the grand jury in full in
shorthand and removed the same
from the grand jury room to have
1t transcribed in long hand; that
he made numerous copies of the
report. which were given out to
divers persons; that the evidence
taken before the grand jury was
made public with the connivance
of Pelletier.
The affidavit further charges that
Pelletier is not regularly prac-
ticing attorney, and that the sole
purpose of his employment by the
prosecutors Office is for taking a
stenographic report of the EVIL
dence. The attention of the court
is called to it's instructions to the
grand jury on the question of the
stenographic notes. which 1t is
claimed has been violated in con-
tempt of the courts order.
On this affidavit Judge Huneke
ordered that a citation to appear
and answer for contempt Of court
be issued against Pelletier, which
was later served by the sheriff's
Office. The court signed an order
to the effect that the prosecuting
attorney, on account of his alleged
connivance, was not a fit person
to have charge of the prosecution
against Pelletier, and ordered the
appointment of Graves and Post.
Prosecutor Pugh denies the
charge made against Pelletier and
will, If convicted. appeal to the SUI.
preme court.

numerous complaints from the
people Of. Goble and other points
along the Northern Pacific between
Portland and that point regarding
alleged excessive freight charges,
the railroad commission, upon its
own motion, took up the matter OF
freight rates and announced a new
schedule to replace the one estab

company.
The Northern Pacific placed in

on the books many years. This is

CITY PLANT SAVES money
BUT IT WON'T DO

Before the city council last night
City Engineer Ralston performed
the feat of proving that NUM-
cipal lighting plant means lower
rates to the consumers; that Spo-
kane is being overcharged for
lights at the present time by the
w. w. p. Co, but that the only
solution he would advise is by
some means to persuade the com
pany to reduce rates without the
city creating competition. Accord
ing to the city engineers finding,
the private consumer is paying
from 20 to 80 per cent more for
current in this city than IN Tacoma
and Seattle, where the corporations
have not been able to annex q
water power site in the center or
the city that reduces generation
and distribution of current to the
minimum.
In plain language the report
means that the man who uses cleo
trio current In this city is being
mulcned or held up by the W. w.
p. Co when nature has arranged
it so that he should be especially
favored in the matter OF cheap
electricity.
II is significant that the cities
that are able to protect their pop
ulation from this species of rob-
berry are doing it through competi-
ton and regulation of the electric
supply. and for that reason the
current that has to be brought 40
miles and more TO Seattle and Ia
coma is cheaper than the current
taken from the power house In the
center of this city and distributed
block or so away.
But the city engineer considers
a municipal plant unfeasible here
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-04-21

for the stated reason that the ex.
pense would be too great. He says
there are only two sites to be pro
cured the length and breadth of
the river, the most practicable of
these would cost 100000. He sees
no possibility of creating more
power at the pump station site.
The engineers estimate OF cost
places the plant installation ex.
pense at $1,37o,0O0, involving a
total annual expenditure of $233.-
500, and s1.000,0O0 more is added
for distributing system. Enough
more is added to bring the total
cost up to s2,500,000, as Ralston
estimates It, With such a plant he
says substantial reduction could
be worked in lighting expense, ex
, cept in the matter of street lights.
which he considers low enough.
But with bridge and bond issues
in sight Ralston advises against
the municipal enterprise. also on
the general ground that Spokane is
not far enough advanced to under
take management Of public utility
, projects. He figures that II the
w. W. p. Co. would reduce its
rates from IS cents per kilowatt
hour to 10 cents. and rearrange its
other schedules, everything would
be satisfactory,
This may be prelude to &C

AGE AND AFFLLCTION
GRIPS THEM CRUELTY
And Little Child Suffers
in Darkened Peaceful
Valley Home.


full valley, Charles Penree, man
of more than 70 years, yet spry
and sturdy, is yearning for just one
more chance to bring back health
to his wife and the roses to his
little baby's cheeks.
Mrs. Penree, who is but 81, as q
,paralytic. For two long years she
has been helpless. Penree staid
faithfully at her side, cared for the
baby with care more tender be-
cause he feared she would be
taken from him without her moth
ers attention, and tried to nurse
his wife back to health.
Now he has spent all his littl6
fortune he had laid away for his
declining years. For weeks they
have lived on $3.50 a week-fur-
nished by the county-hardly an
existence even for a family OF
three not afflicted by sickness.
Day in and day out, aside fron1
the few brief moments some kind
neighbor can spare, he stays
bravely there with his wife and lit
tie daughter, caring for them as
best he can in the little two room
shack. He would work, willingly,
If he only knew someone was car.
ing for his dear ones the while.
Only a little bread, perhaps a
little broth and scanty delicacies,
the latter from Mrs. Anderson's,
across the way, are on that humble
little table for the three meals
each day. Little baby is trying aw-
fully hard to grow. She is her
stricken parents only comfort,
aside from the honest love that
rules the little home, but she is
delicate and needs bettere nourish-
ment-just can't hardly keep away
the hunger with diluted milk and a
few little pieces of bread. How
hard she tries to laugh and be-
merry to greet each stranger who
enters her mama's and papa's inn

When some went to see Mrs.
Penree, the first thing they wanted
to do was to take away her child
but, no, the gray haired old man
would not permit it. That would
kill my wife," he said this morning.
as the tears filled his eyes.
I'VE need help" Mrs. Penree
stammered in her palsied way,
but We couldn't live without our
baby II help never comes, am
willing to bear my suffering. Our
savior suffered torture and death
for us. SO it's not so bad that some
of us must suffer, too"
The unfortunate little woman al
most wept at this and her haggard
old husband left the room to dry
his eyes. Just then the little baby.
in her lisping little tones, began
laughing in childish glee and cali
ing. Mama! WOO. Mama! w-o-o,"
as she peered out from behind an
invalid's chair in one corner of the
room. With that everything was
changed and light that looked
like happiness gathered in fathers
and mothers eyes.
The Penrees were married in
Wisconsin and came here about
three years ago. Mrs. Penree is
the only survivor of her grand
fathers 10 grandchildren. Nor

One Of the most remarkable and
significant chapters in the legal
annals of this country is being
written in that department Of the
superior court Of Spokane county
presided over by Judge Huneke.
After formal charges were pre-
ferred against J. H. Pelletier, a
member of the prosecutors staff
this morning, alleging that he was
in contempt Of court, Judge
Huneke appointed two Of the at
torneys Of Gordon to prosecute the
prosecuting attorneys assistant.
With Gordon's lawyers in the
role Of prosecutors, and one of the
states attorneys as defendant. the
tables are now turned, and Judge
Gordon, the accused lawyer, seems
to be holding the reins in place
of the attorney sworn to represent
the people. The grand Jury inves.
tigation has changed into prose
cution of public officials against
whom the public lays no charge.
Frank H. Graves and Frank T.
Post. who filed the charges
against Pelletier. seemed to have
changed their mind about proceed
ing against Prosecutor Pugh and
failed to bring any charges OF con
tempt involving him. In addition
to being the accusers of the deputy
prosecutor, Graves and Post are
now also the prosecutors. by virtue
of the order of Judge Huneke.
The order Of the court appoint
ing Graves and Post as special
counsel to prosecute the case
against Pelletier was prepared on
the official stationery of Attorney
Graves office, showing that the
court and the attorneys for Cor.
don had been in conference since
the proceedings of yesterday after
noon.
The attorneys for the state have
not been called into conference by
Judge Huneke recently. the only
call to reach the prosecutor from,
the court being some demand to
appear and explain his conduct.
What is more, there was an eff
fort to rush Pelletier to an imme'
date trial this morning without
according him the right Of prepare
ton that was given Judge Brown

NEW CRIMINAL CODE
AIDS SMALL DEALER

'In Colfax the advent Of the new
criminal code is welcomed" said
Prosecuting Attorney Charles l..
Chamberlin of Whitman county,
who was present in court yester-
day afternoon. Il was enforcing
all of the laws for Sunday closing"
he continued, causing cigar stores
and such establishments to close
their doors on Sunday. The new
criminal code is more liberal in
this respect and hence is looked
upon with a great deal of favor by
the small dealers of Colfax, who
heretofore kept their places of
business open on Sunday"
