DISGUISED AS NEGRO,
ASSAULTED WOMAN
(By United Press.)

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept 81
Though the intercession of a
friend, w. H. Mitchell, a we'll
known citizen of. Thomasville, Ca,
who was convicted or kidnapping
and assaulting Miss Lucille Lyton
while disguised as negro, will
not serve on the chain gang, to
which he was sentenced. Instead
the board, after a lengthy discus
sion, decided to send the man to
states prison for IL months.
Mitchell is college graduate
and members of his class in col
lege joined in the plea to save
him from the chain gang.
Congressman Howard opposed
the move to revert the sentence
to prison term, stating that such
procedure was an outrage to the
womanhood of the state.

FOR NEW MARKET

A rousing session was held last
night by the Fourth Ward CONNER
cial club. The question of a new
city market was discussed at
length, and it was finally voted to
urge upon the city council the
necessity of acquiring ground and
building new city market at an
approximate investment of $500, 900
as near the center of the city as
possible.
The club went on record for a
new bridge at the foot O. Boone
avenue across the Spokane river.

$4,000 DAMAGE
DONE BY FIRE
PORT COSTA MILLING COM
PANY'S PLANT GUTTED
Firemen Have Hard Fight to Prevent
Destruction Of OIL Tanks Nearby
on San Fernando
Street

Fire, presumably caused by spon-
taneous combustion, at I O'Clock. yester-
day. morning Quilted the plant of the
Port Costa Milling company at 1909
San Fernando street and resulted in a
loss estimated at $685. 900.
The blaze was discovered by the
watchman in the milling ROOM The
flames had spread rapidly and were
reaching to the ceiling when he ap-
peared. An alarm was turned in and
four engine companies quickly re-
spopded.
When the firemen and the fire appara-
tus appeared the blaze had gained con-
siderable headway and the fire had
spread from the milling room into the
store room and was raging f1ercely in
the salesroom.
The building, a two-story brick struc-
ture, runs through from San Fernando
street to Baker street. Across the
street on the San Fernando side are
several large oil tanks belonging to a
local oil company.
The f1remen attacked the fire from
the front, the rear and from both sides
of the building and a number of lines
of hose were playing streams on the
blazing building. The sparks rained
down on the adjoining buildings a short
distance away and for a time it seemed
as if the oil tanks would be isnited.
While dragging a line of hose into
the burning building Fireman A. S.
Chapman of Ali East Twenty y-ninth
street stepped into a mass of glowing
Goals and suffered severe burns on his
left foot. He was taken to the receiving
hospital, where the police surgeons
bandaged the injured foot with oiled
dressings. The firemen worked heroic
ally to prevent the flames spreading,
and after two hours hard work the
fire out" signal was sent in.
The Port Costa Milling company has
plants in San Francisco and other cities
on the Pacific coast. The plant here is
in charge of Manager c. w. Mead, who
stated that there was a considerable
stock of grain in the storeroom and
placed the loss at $4,000 on the stock,
$4,000 on the building and and damage
of $4,000 to the equipment.
Manager Mead stated that the build
ing is owned by the Port Costa COM
pany and said there was large
amount of insurance carried on the
stock, equipment and building, but not
enough to cover the loss.

AVIATOR MAKES
CHANNEL FLIGHT
FIRST AER0PLANE TO CROSS
STRAIT OF DOVER
BIerIot Wins $4,000 offered by London
Newspaper, and Steals March on
His Rivals, Latham and
Lambert

DOVER, England, July 25.-Louis
Bleriot, Frenchman, early this morn
ing succeeded in crossing the English
channel in an airship
This sleepy seaport town experienced
the keenest thrill known in genera
ton when, at sunrise today, white
winged, bird-like machine, with loudly
humming motor, swept out from the
haze obscuring the sea toward the dis
tant French coast, and, circling twice
above the high chalky cliffs of Dover,
alighted on English soil.
BIeriot, portly and red-mustached,
calmly descended from the saddle,
limping on a bandaged foot, which had
been burned on his previous overland
flight.
Immediately two compatriots, who
had been waving a big tri-colored flag
as a signal for the landing place, fell
on him enthusiastically, embracing him,
shouting and pounding him on the
back. They, with a few soldiers and
others who happened to be on the
scene, were the only persons to witness
the finish of a remarkable feat.
Bleriot left Les Barreques, three
miles from Calais. about 4:3O a. M, on
one of the smallest monoplanes ever
used. He crossed the channel in little
less than half an hour, twice as swiftly
as the fastest mail boat. His speed av-
eraged more than forty-five miles an
hour, sometimes 1t approximated sixty
miles.
Keeps $50 Feet Above Water
He kept about $50 feet above the sea
level, and for about ten minutes In
midchannel was out of sight of both
nsts and of the French torpedo boat
destroyer which followed him, with his
wife and friends aboard.
The wind was blowing about twenty
miles an hour, and the sea was choppy.
e aviator was swathed in a single
garment of drilling, impervious TO the
wind. This garment covered him from
head to feet only his face showing. He
wore, also, cork life belt.
An eyewitness of the landing thus
describes it:
"Very early in the morning a wire
less message was received from CALAIS
that Bleriot intended to make the
fight. Then in quick succession came
the news he had left land, that he
was flying high and was fast making
Dover It was expected he would land
west of Dover, but from the direction
taken 1t was soon evident he would
alight to the eastward.
"Only a few minutes after the wire
less announcing the start, the laconic
message, out of sight was received
Hardly had this been transcribed,
than the keen-eyed coast guard, scan
ming the sea with his telescope, shouted
Bleriot was in sight.
Airship Flies Like Gigantic Hawk
"Hastening to the cliff of the bay, 1
was fortunate enough to arrive just
before the airship, which was flying
fast. like a gigantic hawk. The craft
approached the cliff, growing bigger
every instant The noise of the engines
was audible in a moment, so swiftly
did the craft come. Bleriot swooped
overhead and then turned his machine
to the east and came to the ground in
the meadow.
"The monoplane circled with con-
summate ease, and made the landing
gracefully, but even though it touched
the land lightly, 1t was slightly dam
aged"
By his achievement Bleriot won the

TEMPERANCE COURSE
Strengthens in Churches Says
Charles G Finney

!, Resistance to the temperance re-
formation will be a step to revivals
in a church. The time has come
that it can no longer be inno-
cent in a church to stand aloof
from the glorious reformation. The
time was when this could be done
ignorantly. The time has been when
ministers and Christians could enjoy
revivals, notwithstanding ardent
spirit was used among them. But
since light has been thrown on the
subject, and it has been found that
the use is only injurious. no church
member or minister can he innocent
and stand neutral in the cause. They
must speak out and take sides. And
If they do not take ground on one
side, their influence is on the other.
Show me a minister who has taken
ground against the temperance refor-
nation, who has had revival. Show
me one who now temporizes upon this
point, who does not come out and
take a stand in favor of temperance,
who has a revival. 1t did not use to
be so. But now the subject has come
up and has been diseased and is
understood, no man can shut his eyes
upon the truth. The mans hands
are red with blood who stands aloof
from the temperance cause. And
can he a revival?-Charles G Finney

Here Are Graceful OvcrCOatS
For Men, Young Men and Boys

THERE'S everything in the way an
overcoat behaves under different
conditions. Maybe you've never
thought of it in just this way.
Different makers of overcoats act
differently under similar conditions,
and it's more often the coat thsn the
person wearing it.
Most overcoats are not made right,
The collar sags and there are
unsightly folds down the back and
front. Throw back the coat, and
the whole side punches up into
an ugly wad
These r. W. and Ederheimer Stein
Overcoats we are selling, are differ
ent. They hang gracefully all the
way down from the shoulders. The
fronts are even, full and roomy but
moulded to stay in shape. The col
lars fit snug about the neck. The
arm holes are comfortable Buttoned
up or open, they hang as if made
for you.
We have them in the new weayes
