VETS SORE
At HAY

OLYMPIA, Feb. 20-The senSa-
tional address by Acting Governor
Hay in Seattle last night was the
sole topic of conversation among
legislators, who are as widely di-
vided in expressions of opinion
upon Hays attitude as they are
on local option.
The 'wets" assert the executive
had no right to butt in" to the
legislative department and predict
Hay will be raped on the bill he
favors.
A dry" plan is to hold the sen
ate bills in the public morals com
mittee of the house. and toncen-
trate efforts to force the senate to
take the McMaster bill from COM
mittee and pass it through the
senate. The third alternative is
to take senate bill up in the house,
amend it to conform with the
league bill except as to the unit.
1t is practically conceded that the
"drys" are willing to permit an
amendment to the league bill MAX
ing separate units of first and sec
ond class cities instead of having
the entire county as single unit.
Hay addressed an assembly of
$50 members of the Congregation
al Mems clubs of Seattle last night
and ararigned the King county SEN
ators for their stand on the local
option fight. He took the Roose-
welt policy as his motto and sail
ed into the senators, charging
them with the violation of party
pledges. At the close of his ad-
dress he made an implied threat
that in case the present local OPP
ton bill was not passed there
would be another time coming and
the fight would continue

Sunday. There is nothing like
music for real refining entertain
ment and the Victor furnishes the
best kind. in a pleasing manner

The new model Victor ii only
costs 31.00-payments if you
wish. 1t is beauty in appearance
and has all the famous Victor quail
tiles.
How long are you going to har-
Dor that prejudice for the Victor?
You perhaps have not heard one
in years. 1t is not fair to class the
Victor of today with the old-style
talking machine any more than it
would be fair to class the modern
ocean liner with Fulton's steam
ship.
Come in and hear your favorite
selections on the Victor whether
you wish to buy at once. We will
be glad to have a visit from you.
We are Spokane's oldest talking

DOWN
ON LAWYERS
PHILLIPS TUM-
BLES TO THEIR LITTLE
ECONOMIC PRACTICE OF
MAKING THE COUNTY PAY
FOR THEIR LEGAL BLANKS.

Investigation by the county COM
missioners today developed the
fact that most of the II contracts
for printing on which the board re-
ceived bids yesterday were blanks
used by lawyers in civil cases, for
which the litigants and not the
county should pay, hence the com
missioners have called Off the
awarding of the contracts for the
present.
Commissioner Phillips said that
he noticed an attorney leaving the
county building this week carrying
under one arm a roll of printed
matter about a foot thick. The
printing question being on Phillips
mind, he proceeded to- make inquiry
and learned that nearly all OF the
200 lawyers of the city get most
all of their blank forms at the
clerks Office and thereby save
heavy bills in buying these blanks
at the stationers.
On this account the entire list
of printed blanks on which bids
were received yesterday will be re-
vised and only such ordered as the
county actually needs in its own
business or in the prosecutor s
office.
The county commissioners are
strongly of the impression that the
bids presented yesterday were all
prearranged. f. w. Suites was the
low man on 16 of the II jobs, but
as he is member of the Job
Printers association. the commits
sioners fear that his bid was not
presented on a competitive basis.

CLERK ACCUSED
Of FORGERY

Stewart Love, a clerk in the en-
ploy of the o. r. & N. Co. here,
was arrested this afternoon by De-
tectiye Fred Pearson on a charge
of forgery, shortly after he had re-
turned from trip to Missouri.
A bad check for S169.92, passed
on Kemp & Hebert's store January
IS, is believed to have been writ
ten by young Love, and he was
identified today by an employee of
the store, who cashed the bad
check. The evidence connecting
the young clerk with the check
was worked up by Detective Pear
son, on the strength of a likeness
of two letters-one used in the
writing on the check and the other
on a bill signed in the o. r. G. n.
office by the alleged criminal.

Central SPARE
THAT PLUG

Everybody who uses the tele-
phone has experienced the provoca-
ton and Inconvenience of being
"cut off, by central in the midst of
a conversation. BY some perverse
ruling of central fates the cutting
off usually occurs in the most i'm
portant part of the conversation.
1t also frequently happens that one
party is ignorant of the number
the other party is talking from,
and the other party is apt to con-
clude that the fault is with the
listener at the other eng and neg
lect to call again. A feeling not
at all conducive to pleasant rela-
lions is likely to result.
A newspaper Office is perhaps
the worst sufferer in this respect,
as the party at the Office phone is
rarely able to locate the number
from which he was being address
ed, and his conversation suddenly
vanishes. often before he has even
learned who was talking to him. In
putting an abrupt ending to such
conversation central sometimes
costs subscriber and the loss of
valuable information.
The Press is your friend always
central, and can't you please keer
= little better tab on those plugs
You're busy as you can be, OF
course. but newspaper men are in
ME same fix.

GIRL PRISONER
GIVES JUVENILE
GUARD THE SLIP

Lydia Worth, age about IS, who
was held in the juvenile quarters
at the court house for being a de-
linquent and also as a witness, eS-
capped last night at $50 and has
not been recaptured this afternoon.
Mrs. Grover, the matron, had
just brought the girf down from
the dormitory to supper, and while
the girl was in the kitchen and the
matron in the dining room the
girl managed to open the kitchen
door and get away. Mrs. Grover
thinks the escape was made with
a passkey, as the door was locked
and no other method of escape
than by unlocking the door was
available.
The Worth girl was being held
as witness against Tom Whit
ford in statutory case. She had
been at the juvenile quarters but a
few days and had made another
attempt to get away the day after
coming there. She announced to
the other inmates that if she ever
succeeded in getting away she
would go into hiding for a week
and then there would be nc
trouble.

SOCIETY LEADERS LINING UP
ON SUFFRAGE BATTLE GROUND
MOVEMENT FOR THE FRAN.
cHISE BECOMES WAR BE.
TWEEN NEW AND OLD
SCHOOL OF SOCIETY.
Special Correspondence to Tho Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-Woman's
suffrage is the style in New York.
1t may be ranked with clinging
gown. big hats, large plumes and
grand opera for popularity.
Miss Ethel Arnold, sister of Mrs.
Humphry Ward, and granddaugh-
ter of DR.. Arnold of Rugby fame,
brought about the miracle of
making woman's suffrage the prop
er social thing in the 400.
Her conversion of Mrs. Clarence
Mackay brought about the ava
lanche of popularity. Mrs. Mac
kay organized the Equal Fran
chise society. There was a tre-
mendous rush to join it, though
not all the great social leaders
went into it. Many of them were
afraid that Mrs. Mackay, who is
striving for the social leadership
of New York, was merely testing
her strength by the new move
ment. Some great business men
joined because of the affiliations it
afforded.
Ideas differ among the women
as to equal suffrage. There's Ann
Morgan. for instance, daughter of
]. Pierpont Morgan, who thinks
women ought to take hand in
cleaning streets and looking after
the public health in cities. State
and national affairs, she thinks,
ougt not to bother women.
Mrs. Oliver P. Belmont looks at
it from the standpoint of taxes.
She owns much land. She was
Mrs. William Vanderbilt, mother of
Consuela, duchess of Marlborough,
and of VIM. X. Vanderbilt, Jr.
When Mr.. Belmont died she dis
covered that men had more to say
about her affair-strange men at
that-than she did herself.
Mrs. Belmont works like a re-
vivalist for equal suffrage.
There are not few society
| women who realize that equal SUI
frage is a very smart thing, and
are making it awfully exclusive.

HIGHER BID

National Iron works, at receivers
sale, was postponed today by
Judge Hinkle through the unex-
pected presentation. of bid 5000

receiver, G. p Orr. The receiver
had estimated the plant to be
worth $4,000 but could get only
one bid, $4,000, offered by R. E.

the sale postponed 10 days and the
plant resold at public auction,
Bremnar's bid to be first offered.
