PETITIONS
FOR RELIEF
HELD OVER

With supplications for relief pig
eonhoIed in the office of the city
water department, and the Arthur
D. Jones syndicate about to cut off
their water supply, many citizens
Of the Cannondale district find
themselves in a very peculiar posi-
ton, on the eve of winter.
The Jones syndicate has threat
ened to shut off the entire water
supply of people living in block 20
of the CannondaIe addition. This
would shut off the water supply of
IL families on Heroy and Hoffman
avenues.
When the matter was put up to
City Water Commissioner Wey-
mouth the only response he would
make is:
THAT is A MATTER FOR
THE PEOPLE AND MR.. JONES
TO SETTLE"
There is slim assurance for the,
people in this response of the wat
er department. They have tried
time and again to settle" the
matter with the Jones syndicate,
but there is no settlement to be
had. The Jones company is the
sole governing force of the water
supply of that region. and so long
as the city of Spokane refrains
from giving the people relief or
protection there appears to be no
recourse for the people there but
to accept what is handed them.
Think of an enlightened city of
the size of Spokane without rules
or regulations of any kind to gov
ern private water companies that
supply the people of certain locali-
ties with the greatest necessity of
life after air These people are at
the present time left absolutely at
the mercy of every tyrannical within
of some neighborhood potentate
who may chance to have a few
miles of water mains, and the only
assurance that is given by the city
hall is: III. a
THAT is a matter for the people
and Mr.. Jones to SETTLE"
The matter would have been set
tied had the plans of the former
water commissioner been carried
out. He proposed to go right into
the Cannondale district with the
city water mains and drive the old
Jones service off the map. But
Jones, stands close to the powers
that be at the city hall and his pull
is greater than that of the few
hundred people affected, who recall
the promises made by the eexcu-
tive head of the city government in
the last campaign that if he were
elected Cannondale would get
water.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 17.-FoI-
lowing the resignation of President
Zelaya Of Nicaragua, it is reported
from Managua today that General
Vasquez, leader of the Zelayan
troops near Rama, will surrender.
II is also rumored that the Zelayan
and revolutionary armies would
combine to support Estrada for the
presidency. In the event of Es-
trada's accession to the presidency,
1t is being whispered today that
Nicaragua will become the pioneer
equal suffrage nation of the world.
MANAGUA, Bluefields, Dec. IL
II is stated semi-officially today
that Provisional President Estrada
and Chief Lieutenant General
Chammorro have agreed with Gen
eral VasQuez and General Toledo,
of the Zelayan forces, that there
shall be no fighting in Bluefields,
and 1t is reported that the Ameri-
can government has been notified
of their intention to keep the city
outside of the fighting zone.
The situation at Rama is UNI
changed, There is much specula-
ton today concerning the probable
successor of President Zelaya. Dr.
Madriz's supporters have developed
unexpected strength. but the con-
sentative element is trying by ev-
cry means to persuade him to with
draw, as it is generally believed his
appointment by congress would re-
suit in a continuance of the revo.
luton.
II the revolutionists are success.

Forced by Illness Into

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-At
the first state dinner, given
last night by President Taft,
in honor of his cabinet, the
fact became generally known
that the first lady of the
land" the presidents wife, will
not be able, in all probability,
to take any part in the stately
and gay social functions of the
White House and the capital
during the winter.
At last nights elaborate din
ner Mrs. Thomas X. Laughlin
of Pittsburg, a sister of Mrs.
Taft, took the latter5s place as
hostess. 1t is stated that she
will continue in this position
during the entire season, at all
state dinners and receptions.
Mrs. Taft was seriously Ill
last summer, and although
somewhat improved. she is not
able to stand the strain Incl
dent to the life of a social
leader. Up to the time of her
husbands election to the presi-
dency she had been most ac-
tive In society circles in Gin
cinnati, and had planned ex-
tensive changes and improve
ments in the schedule and con-
duct of the social life in Wash
ington. All these ideas she
has been compelled to abandon,
at the very outset of her life
in the White House.

None of them except the wom-
