ANOTHER ARREST MAY
LEAD To BALKAN WAR

For the second time in less than
a week Dan Radovich, keeper of
the Balkan hotel and saloon, also
known generally among his people
as somewhat of philanthropist,
is under arrest charged with en-
bezzlement. He was brought to
the station today, on a warrant
worn out by Milia Sobovich, one
of his countrymen, charged with
the embezZlement of $50 by CONVEX
sion. His bond was first set at S5,-
900 but after his case was briefly
investigated he was released by or
der of the chief of police on his
own recognizance.
Radovich declared to The Press
this morning that small band of
his countrymen whose enmity he
has incurred in some unknown
manner have evidently organized
to smirch his name, with the ulti-
mate intention of running him fl
nancially. Less than a week ago
he was arrested ON warrant
sworn out by Aleksa Michovicn,
charging him with the same Of
fence for which he is now facing
prosecution. The case was dis
missed in court, as 1t was shown
that the money Radovich was &C
cused of converting to his own use
had been placed in a bank, that
there was insufficient moneu in the
house to pay it off and that MichO

MRS. DEY ESTABLISHES REF
UGE FOR MOTHERS WHO
CAN'T CARE FOR CHILDREN,
YET CANNOT GIVE THEM UP.

There's no limit to a woman's
energy when her heart is i'm her
work. Mrs. Dey of the Orphans
Home of Spokane, E10 Liberty ave-
nue., has rented little house
across the street from the home
for purpose as unique as it Is
merciful. In the past she has taken
babies and had them adopted into
good homes, to find that later the
mothers We're ceaselessly yearning
to posses the little ones again.
When they came to the home
first they were at the end of their
resources and their chief anxiety
was to procure assurance of life
and shelter for their children.
Later their fortunes turned, they
became able to care for them
selves, with something left over
for the little ones they parted
with. But the law had given the
children to others.
Can you imagine what a mother
must feel who has given up her
child in extremity, now able to care
for it and longing day and night to
clasp 1t to her heart?
Mrs. Dey can understand, and
she has undertaken to provide for
such possibilities, although the
move means additional work and
expense, where work and expense
are not at all scarce now.

vich had refused to take check
for the amount.
There Is now warrant out for
arrest charging him
with defrauding Radovich on room
rent. He left the country immedi-
ately after Radovich's case was dis
without paying his rent In
the Balkan hotel. The trouble Is
believed by the police to be re-
suit of the Duletich scandal in the
Balkan society some months ago.

charged with the ENLIGHTENMENT OF
several hundred dollars from the
society's fund. Radovich, one of the
best educated Montenegrans in the
city, was one of the chief parties
behind that movement. Duletich
was never convicted of the crime
because, 1t is declared, there was
insufficient money in the treasury
to have the books exported COM
pletely, and the society was dis
solved
1t is generally feared among
Balkans of the city and by some
members Of the police department,
who have been watching the case,
that a bloody feud will be the ter
mination of the present troubles.
Radovich asserts his innoncence
of the charge on which he is now
to face the courts.

NEARLY BILLION
GIVEN AWAY
BY CITY

The advice OF the water commits
sion that city water given away
heretofore be paid for out of the
general fund and credited to the
water department brings to light
some interesting facts in regard to
the amount of water that is dis
tributed freely or sold at an incon-
sequential rate in this city Secre-
tary Ostrander of the commission
estimates that the amount will
reach 20 per cent. This leaves the
total cost of pumping upon the 80
per cent actually paid by con-
sumers. The plan of charging the
20 per cent to the general fund is
designed to place the cost of the
water plant upon the public in
general instead of the 80 per cent
water consumers.
The water included on the free
list is that furnished schools. parks
and charitable institutions. Here
are some of those to whom water
has been given by the council, with
the amount in gallons:
Ondawa inn, 1864, $50; Home of
the Friendless. 100000; st. Joseph
orphanage, 100000.
The biggest item is street sprin-
king by the street car companies.
The Washington Water Power Co.
uses 19,764,000 and the Traction
Co. 100000, although you would
never suspect 1t of either from the
condition of their roadbeds. The
total income to the water depart
ment from this source would be
$3465 daily If the water "a were
charged for.
In addition to the free list, the
S. A. A. c. and country club are
furnished water at the charity rate
of four cents per 1000 gallons; the
S. A. A. Z. uses practically 100000
gallons a year Sacred Heart hos
pital secures 2,S34,000 gallons a
year at So per month; st. Luke's,
100000 at the same rate.
In addition to this are the city
street sprinklers and fire plugs and
numerous other sources of use of
city without credit to the city for
furnishing it.
The total of the free and reduced
water list for last year was 72S,-
210,610 gallons. Credit that to the
water department at seven cents
per 1000 gallons and any doubt as
to the profit of the department
would vanish.

HERE IS AN EDITORIAL
IN PICTURES

Two horses-the one at work on
the hard, hot streets of the city
the other, which has been sent to
the country for a couple of weeks
during the summer
These are not idealized pictures.
One is a photograph of a horse
taken at random on the streets.
The other is of one which is
worked SO weeks a year in town,
but gets two week vacation every
summer.
Just like people-only the horse
gets more fun out of it than most
people get out of their vacation.
Look at the horse in the bigger
picture. His eyes are alert, his at
titude spirited. He is back in the
country, where there is green grass
and an old fashioned well and
trees and outdoors.
Then look at the other horse.
1t tells story of work, hard, I'M
renting, of rain and snow and
cold, of beatings by merciless driv-
ers. of toll which has broken his
spirit and made him a drudge, of
dirty, smelly close stables at
night.
While the rest of us are taking
our vacations, and getting into the
outdoors as much as we can, why
not take some thought of the
horse?
