HOT BATTLE
IN SENATE

OLYMPIA, Jan. 26.-The morn
ing session of the senate was the
scene Of two of the hottest dis
putes ever witnessed in any similar
gathering in this state. The trou-
BILE started when Senator Alex Pol
son of Chehals introduced a con-
current resolution that the senate
appoint committee to act with a
similar committee from the house
to investigate supreme court
judges, state officers and all MEM
bers of the legislature, touching
on their integrity.
This is an outcome of the Root
Gordon investigation.
The resolutions and all discus
sion were expurged from the min
utes Of the senate.
The next fight was over the anti
saloon leagues local option bill.
The bill was sent to the committee
on judiciary, the same action as
taken by the house.

cannot make the charge direct,
either on paper or in spoken word.
1t is a difficult matter to get as
much as one would wish into the
record; for there is always the
danger of being adjudged in con-
tempt of court If one is too insist
ent or too crude.
Nevertheless, certain well famed,
cunningly contrived questions may
be asked of witnesses or prospec-
tive jurors. which, though stricken
from the record, may still give rise
to doubts. conjectures, confusion of
mind and morals, blurring OF the
real issue.

MURDER SUSPECT
GOES FREE

The death of Detective McDer-
mott of the city force has proved
fortunate circumstance for Mike
Wlahovitch, the Montenegran, held
for the murder of his fellow coun-
tryman. George Danieluk. McDer-
mott, who specialized crimes in
volving Austrlans. Montenegrans
and other foreigners, had the case
of Wlahovitch in hand and was de-
pended upon by the state for the
evidence against Wlahovitch when
the trial was called.
The death of McDermott came
before the state could get in touch
with the evidence he had accumu-
lated, and accordingly the case
against Wlahovitch was dismissed.
The murder of George Danieluk

ISSUE
IS CREASED

One million dollars additional
Indebtedness will be saddled on
the city il two ordinances filed to-
day with the city clerk are passed
by the city council
One of the ordinances is for the
purpose of issuing bonds for the
amount of 100000 to be used to
build and repair bridges across the
Spokane river, another way of
saying ito build the Monroe street
bridge
The other ordinance is to issue
bonds for 100000 TO pay of all
outstanding bonds issued by the
water extension department of the
municipality. The argument in
favor of the latter issue Is the
fact that the old bonds now draw
6 per cent interest, while the new
bond issue would draw in the
ne,ghborhood of "A per cent.

subjected to. Ralston was firmly Of
the belief that the illness of his
young son, who Is now con-
valescent, was due to the poisonous
water poured into the city mains
by the water department.
Superintendent Wetzel OF the
water department insisted that he
knew nothing about the river
water being turned init the mains
and said he wanted the RESPONSE
BILE party punished. An investiga-
ton now on foot will result in
some of the engineers at the up
river pumping station losing their
official heads If Wetzel is in earn
est.
The river water Is turned in at
intervals of starting the pumps, 1t
is stated, and apparently left to
run until somebody remembers to
shut 1t off.
Inquiry at the water Office in the
basement tt the city hall develops
the information that the under
ground water supply has never fail
ed or been short for day, and
that there is apparently enough
water in the well to supply city
three times the size of Spokane.
In view of this statement there
seems to be no apparent reason
why the river water should be
used.
The records at the health Office
show that 3S cases If typhoid were
reported during October, with IL
deaths; Is cases during November,
with two deaths, and four cases
during December, with three
deaths. Seventeen of the october
cases are put down as transients,
or brought In from the outside,
with seven cases of the same kind
in November. City Health Of
ficer Grieve says all the doctors
do NIT report their typhoid cases,
hence these statistics may not be
complete.

Special Correspondence to The Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 90
Superior Judge William P. Lawlor,
Francis J. Heney and Rudolph
Spreckels in particular, and the JUS
tice loving citizens of San Fran
cisco in general. are on trial in the
superior court of this city, charged
with persecution.
The most prominent spectator.
in fact the complaining witness at
this remarkable trial. is one Pat
rick Calhound, millionaire street
railway president, who, something
like two years ago, was charged by
a grand jury with robbing the peo-
pie of an earthquake racked and
fire devastated city of franchises
worth millions, by buying the souls
of 16 city officials. beside mayor
and a political boss, with few
paltry thousands of dirty bride
money.
AS a matter of court record OF
the last two years. this man Cal
houn, after persistently jamming
the wheels of justice, has been
forced into court to clear himself,
If he can, of a charge of bribery.
As matter of court record of
the last couple of weeks it would
appear that he is in court to show.
not that he did no bride, bu that
he is the innocen victim of das-
tardly conspiracy, of unwarranted
and dishonorable persecution on
the part of the men in particular
and the citizens in general re-
ferred to.

ord or to make them stick in the
