DEPUTIES MUST NOT
INVEST in TAX SALES

The state supreme court has
handed down an important decis-
ion on delinquent tax sales when it
held that any county treasurer or
any deputy in his office could not
take title to lands sold for taxes,
as being against public policy and
on account of the advantage that a
public official acquires by reason
of his office.
The case came up from Spokane
county, the caes of Bartholomew
Coughlin against Lulu "A. Holmes
and Emmett H. Holmes to quiet
title to city property. Holmes
bought the land while employed as
a deputy under George. Mudgett,
former county treasurer.
County Treasurer Stewart, in
commenting on the ecision, said
that one of the most rigid rules in
his office is against deputies par.
ticipating in tax sales.

PRESSMEN TAKE
UP SCIENCE
IN Err RATIONAL UNION
ADOPTS PLAN TO TRAIN
MEMBERS IN LATEST I'M
PROvEMENTS IN ART OF
PRINTING,

A movement designed to keep
members of the pressmen's union
abreast of the latest improvements
and advancement in printing ma
chinery was set in motion at the
international convention Of the
pressme recently held at Omaha.
Frank Walker of the Spokane
Press represented the Spokane
union at the convention.
A committee was appointed to
take up the matter of providing a
course of technical training that
will keep pace with the inventors
who are busy with the perfection
OF printing processes. The prog
ress made has brought printing
into line with the fine arts, the lat
est devices combining litheograph-
ing with printing. The interna-
tional union intends to eb able to
furnish men who can take charge
of any printing machine that Is
turned out and operate it famil-
iarly.
Another important decision of
the convention was to maintain
the one per cent assessment orig
inally levied to carry on the eight
hour strike. The union has only
about 400 men out of 1900 still in
volved in this trouble, but the in
tention is to emonstrate that the
fight will be continued with undi-
mfnished vigor until it is COM
pletely won.
A matter of local interest is the
action of the international union in
notifying the publishers associa-
ton that the contract with the
Cowles papers tn Spokane would
be cancelled on account of the fail
ure of those papers to live up to
the union agreement.
A committe was also appointed
to take the matter of making a
fight on tuberculosis, and Mr..
Walker will call the attention OF
the Spokane Chamber of Com
merce and the 10000 club to the
chance for advertising Spokane eli
mate by making an effort to Sc
cure the location of the home here.
Under an agreement authorized
with the International Machinists'
association, the latter organization
will have jurisdiction in setting up
presses.
President Berry and other Off.
GERS were reelected with the ex-
ception of Third Vice President OF
New York, who was succeeded by
Clayton A. Pence of Chicago. All
sections of the country were rep
resented by the 1856 delegates pres
ent and the convention was the
best in ability and harmony of ac-
ton that has been held by the
pressmen for years. Three add.
tional permanent organizers. were
authorized.

BABE UNABLE TO SLEEP FROM HEAT FALLS
TO DEATH TRYING TO SAVE HIS KITTEN
(6y United Press)

NEW YORK, June 30.-Playing
with his kitten, "Toddles,' in the
third story Of his home in Brook
Ign, when the heat kept him awake
all night, two year old George An
derson plunged out of the window
to his death on the concrete side
walk below. The kitten had
squirmed out of his arms, and he
tried to save It from falling.
The boys mother, finding that
the child could not sleep, had
moved a chair to the window. She
held the boy in her arms and let
him play on the sill, giving him
his kitten to occupy his mind. The
mother dozed off. The kitten, also
restless in the heat, squirmed over
the sill.
The mother, awakened by the
child's scream, rushed down to find
MIN unconscious. The kitten. I'M
hurt, was meowing at the boys
side.
