GORDON PLAYS
ANOTHER CARD

The array of legal talent employ
ed in the defense of Judge M. j.
Gordon has begun an attack on the
state along another line. A motion
calling for the immediate trial of
Gordon without waiting for grand
jury action has been filed and will
come up for hearing Saturday. The
trial was set for March II but ow-
ing to the absence of Attorney
Frank H. Graves of Gordon's coun.
sci and the calling of the grand
jury the setting was vacated and
the case continued until the April
term by Judge Hinkle.
1t is believed that the new move
of the defense is one of many plans
of harassment and attack agreed
upon by counsel for Gordon, in the
battle for the defeat of the charges
against their client. Judge Gordon
has been in Spokane for 10 days, in
personal charge of his defense, and
every weapon known in the crimi-
nal practice is being sought out and
sharpened up for use in behalf Of
the accused railroad attorney, -

When he found one who had fall
EN- half frozen in the drifts, Barry
would run back to the house bark

monks would follow him and carry
the poor traveller to their warm

Barry knew all about the danger

when there would be q snow slide
he would bound off to the spot to

One of the wonderful things he
did was to save the life of a lit

snow. The boy was still conscious
whep Barry found him. and the dog
made him understand that he was
to climb up on his broad back and
hold on to his shaggy neck. The
little boy did this and Barry took
him straight to. the monks house,
where they gave him a warm sup

NEW TUBE GOWNS A HOLY
TERROR FOR THE FAT WOMEN

CHICAGO, March 18.-Elizabeth
H. c. White, president of the Am
erican Dressmakers' association,
has rung the bell on the woman
with curves. It's only tinkle, for
she of the delicate chiseling, but
it's All alarm for May Irwin.
In the new gowns decreed by
Miss White--she's really the big
noise in women's fashions-there's
no room for horizontal lines, not
even with grease and a shoe horn.
"Femme de tube" they call it
the chief style of the 1909 gown
In United States femme de tube"
is woman of the tube" But the
tube is small, there's no hope for
TIE woman broad of girth. Big
feet are also a hopeless handicap
the approved method of entering
tube form dress Is to stand it up
in corner and jump in. The waist
line-if 1t can be called that-will
be somewhere between the hips and
the knees.
Miss White and her sister
dressmakers have really hardened
back to the middle ages, and
taken their ideas from the tenth,
eleventh and twelfth centuries.
From the models which were on ex-
hibition at the dFessmakers' conven-
ton here, 1t is apparent that while
the gowns are of the period of the
middle ages, no provision has been
made for the middle-aged woman.
Most of the new style dresses
carry with them an "armoniere"
or sort Of pocketbook made from
the gown, from which it is draped,
hanging down milady's side like a
long streamer. If you would know,
they used to carry armonieres for
loose change to give people with no
visible means of support who were
wont to make their bid for "the
price of a bed" from outside the
city gates.
Incidentally, the new gowns
will call for corset that must be
at least foot and half longer
than the present variety.

Aspiring Elks
In A Squabble

That troubles never come singly was
| proven again this week when the di
rectors in charge Of the rehearsals for
the Elks' minstrel show encountered a
small cyclone which, for a time, threat
ened to put the big performance down
and out for keeps. Things were NOV
ing along as smoothly as could have
been desired and hope was high in the
breases of those in charge, when, with
ont warning. the bug bear of all stage
managers professional jealousy -
showed it's head, and diplomacy was
at once an imperative necessity. The
performances are to be given in the
Keylor Grand theater next Friday and
Saturday nights, and as things are
again moving in the old channel of
harmony, it is not thought probable
that ANYTHING will stand in the way of
a complete success.

Kirkman had been assigned the star

Pat Cavanaugh, returned to this city
on last nights Northern Pacific train,

Soon after being released the second
time Mathews was taken to PascO by

pose of being identified. Fifteen resi-
dents of that place scrutinized the man
closely and pronounced him not the
