HELPLESS MAN
A PRISONER
STATE FORMALLY TAKES
CHARGE OF YOUNG ADAMS,
WHOSE CAREER OF ROB-
Berry WAS STOPPED BY
BULLET.

With pillows piled about his
weakened body, and suffering the
effects of long confinement on a
hospital couch, and with head
swathed in bandages, drawn tightly
across his wounds, Theodore
Adams, the young highwayman
who was shot last New Years eve
while attempting to hold up Can
non Hill car, listened to the war
rant that today makes him for
mally a prisoner. He was wheeled
in an invalid's chair from his ward
in the Deaconess hospital to cor
ridor, where Detective Miles serv-
ed the papers on HIM.
His eyes shifted nervously about
in their sockets, but his sallow,
sunken face betrayed no feeling of
alarm or disappointment. He seem
ed conscious of everything about
him and to fully realize the mean
ing of the legal document and its
DcdllH5 upOli Hlo vase III IiiC pa 90
ent and the future.
Ever since he was carried to the
hospital on a stretcher, after hav-
ing been shot down by G. U. Smith,
passenger of the car he attempt
ed to rob, Adams has been given
care that is to be paid for by his
Woodworking sister. From now on
he will be state charge and this
was explained to him.
"Uh-huh, yes, l understand" was
Adams only response to the read
ing of the warrant that charges
him with highway robbery and his
subsequent questions as to whether
he understood it's meaning.
Adams still has fighting
chance of recovering his faculties,
but he will undoubtedly be para
lyzed and helpless for the rest of
his life. The wound through the
back of his head caused by the
large caliber bullet has healed but
little, and Adams body is wasted
and weak. If he dies he will likely
be buried by the state. Should he
live he will be the states prisoner.

LEGISLATURES
RECORD IS WRITTEN

Perhaps the greatest surprise of
the session was the passage of the
woman suffrage bill. The bill will
permit the voters of the state to
express their sentiments on the
question at the next election in
the shape of a proposal to amend
the constitution.
The state has one new county,
by reason of the activities of the
legislature, that of Grant, which
was carved out of a section of
Douglas. The powers of the rail
road commission were extended so
as to include telegraph and tele-
phone companies. Nurses and en-
balmers secured official recogni-
ton of their callings and are now
under state control the same as
BARRIERS, dentists or doctors.
These perhaps are the more i'm
portant measures passed, although
there have been many of interest
to some particular class, trade,
section or profession. Not all of
these have been signed by the gov
ernor, but most OF them have re-
ceived his approval.

STREET PUZZLE
AND BIG HOLE

The street committee has a
beautiful puzzle handed to it by
Gordon C. Corbaley for Arthur d.
Jones & Co. in the form of an al
legged plat for Cannon Hill Park
addition. The plat bears the Off
cial o. X. of City Engineer Ralston,
but after the committee took it up
this afternoon it was found that
the streets in the plat did not con-
form with anything in the neigh
borhood, and if the plat was adopt
ed it would give three Monroe
streets in the south part of the
city. In the plat the old brick
yard south of Cliff Park is dedi-
Gated to the city. This is a beau
tiful hole in the ground, unstable
for residence purposes.
AS result of the discrepancies
found in the plat the chances of
its adoption at this time are CHM.

WANTS HEALTH BOARD
TO INSPECT GAS

A proposition will be made to
the board of health for that branch
of the city government take over
the gas inspection now under the
control of the electrical depart
ment. This is the scheme of Elec-
trical Inspector Halliday. He takes
the position that his department
has great amount of work on
hand with the inspection Of the
electrical wiring, and that the gas
inspection could well be handled
in the health department, the
same as plumbing inspection.
The gas inspection, it is added,
would prove source of increased
revenue to the health department,
which has great difficulty in keep
ing within its appropriations. Dr.
Grieve is undecided in the matter,
but the offer will be referred to
the full board for consideration.

Wilt
HAVE To HIDE
Especial to The Press.)'


OLYMPIA, March S.-As soon as
the new criminal code goes into eff
feet next June, 1t will be up to the
saloons to retire and seek base
ments and rear rooms. In default
OF this the owners of gin shops will
probably establish cigar stands in
front of their places of business.
The code provides that there shall
be no curtains, screens, stained
glass in saloons to hinder him who
runs by from seeing all there is to
see within.
This is staggering slam at the
saloon interests, this publicity law.
and rather dampens the jubilation
over the local option victory, for
many of the most devout who bow
at the shrine of John Barleycorn
prefer to make the devotions in the
privacy of a select few.
Incidentally this provision brings
to light the inconsistency of both
the wet and the dry. Previously
the dry bewailed the presence of
the saloon on earth because his
wife and children had to pass the
closed door and stained glass win
dow, while the wet was positive
that the saloon was so orderly that
no one could object to seeing what
took place inside. In the turn of
events the positions changed and
the dry demanded for the sake of
the public veal that the saloon be
exposed in all it's wickedness
through the open door and trans
parent window. Then the wet
pleaded on behalf of the children
whose sight would be scandalized
and womanhood whose standard
would be lowered by reason of her
greater vision. Their positions
were exactly reversed.
AS the matter stands now 1t is
up to the saloon man to exercise
his ingenuity, and as in the past he
has never been slow to dodge trou-
blesome issues, it is a foregone
conclusion that despite the par
pose of the code, to see the work
ing of the saloon of the future it
will be necessary to come within
the jurisdiction of the bartender.

MORE
MARTYRS

Not dautned by the fact that 25
of their comrades have already
been fined 500 and costs and sen
fenced to the city. Jail for terms of
80 days each, eight more speakers
from the ranks of the Industrial
Workers of the World harangued
crowds in different sections of the
down town district and were ar
rested this afternoon.
A close lookout is to be kept by
the police and the detectives for
the ring leaders of the bunch.
Judge Mann imposed the same
punishment this afternoon upon the
10 speakers arrested yesterday that
he did the six arrested Friday
night.

PEACEFUL
VALLEY
IMPROVEMENT CLUB ORGAN
lied AND COMMITTEES I'M
MEDIATELY TAKE UP MAT
TIERS LONG NEGLECTED AT
CITY HALL.

The needs and desires of the res
idents of Peaceful valley are apt to
get a more considerate hearing
hereafter than heretofore through
the organization Saturday night of
the Peaceful Valley Improvement
club. Probably so people attended
the meeting organization was af
fected with the election of Paul P.
Walsh president, N. A. Carpenter
vice president, George e. Cline sec
rotary, Olaf Ringwood treasurer.
Committees were appointed to
report on several matters of impor-
lance to the community, among
these being the sewer problem and
the improvement Of Main avenue
through the valley. The club will
hear reports and map out a line of
action next Monday evening at the
temporary meeting place In the
Groshoff building at the foot of
Main.
The new club represents a part
of the Spokane where more resi-
dents own their own homes proper
| tionately than any other section; ;
where it is unnecessar yto have a
policeman on dnty and where the
fire department seldom is called.
In view of the fact that Peaceful
valley has been subject to contin.
ual slight at the city hall it is like
ly that the club will get actively
interested in the political ques-
tons. Councilmanic representation
from that ward has hitherto been
confined to the residents ON the
hill.

TOO MANY DIVORCES
FOR BUSY COURTS

This was default divorce day in

the rush of other business, only
half the Is cases pending were

who heard the following cases:
C. p. Mcclure against Idyle Nc
