country as publicity promoter, is

When asked what he had to say
about the criticism, Thomas re-
piled, Fools rush in where angels
fear to tread.
"The idea advanced by a local
artist that the painting is an ordi-
nary affair, which any chemist
could produce. is too ridiculous for
serious consideration. This paint.
ing has been before the public for
IA years, has been exhibited in
most of the larger cities of this
country and at number of the uni

is given to delving into the myster-

NOW TOO
CROWDED

The city Of Spokane will either
be forced to erect new city hall
or install an elevator and make ad-
ditionaI room on the fourth floor OF
the present building.
1t was learned by the board Of
public works this morning, on MAX
ing a tour of the building in an ef-
fort to readjust the arrangement Of
things, that the city's activities
have outgrown the present quar-
tiers and that in some offices the
city employees are crowded like sar.
dimes in a box.
Year after year has the city's
payroll grown and the number of
departments increased. There is
now to be purchasing agent and
a city storekeeper, and where to
locate them is more than the board
of public works can figure out.
One solution which the board
considered this morning was the
cutting down of the size of the
space occupied by the police court.
1t was proposed to redce the space
within the railing and cut down the
room now occupied by the public
very materially. This would work
hardship on the big crowds that
gather at the daily sessions of the
court, as the present accommoda-
tons are not large enough
A new city hall or an elevator
and the occupancy of the fourth
floor seems the only solution of
the question.

who should know better than they?
For have they not come to CLEAN
further knowledge in the new
world that they may return to the
land of their birth and aidsin awak-
ening their sisters.
Yes, it is a seeking for further
light that brought Mrs. Sim Cheng
and her sister. Lily Kong, across
the seas. The husband of Mrs.
Cheng came with them to aid them
in their work, and as proof of their
earnestness, the young matron and
her younger sister have qualified
for admission to the classes Of the
University of California and are
the first Chinese women to regis
ter at the institution for a course
of literature and English.
When they return to China, 1t
will be to establish the Misses

ORDINANCE
BEGIN CIRCULATION OF PETl-
TlONS TUESDAY-ORGANIZA.
TIONS TAKE MATTER UP

In the morning a body of men
will be started out with petitions
asking that the street speaking con
troversy be solved by the passage
of an ordinance permitting street
speaking under police supervision.
1t is proposed to rush the matter
along SO as to get the required 20
per cent of the legal voters in a
hurry, and in order to accomplish
this result it was deemed advisable
to secure men to carry the petitions
around.
The petitions will also be placed
with the different labor unions,
and it is Expected 200 of the petit
lions will be in circulation by the
end of the week. 1t will require
between $500 and 5000 names to
force the calling of an initiative
election, and a majority of the
voters at such special election can
enforce the adoption of the or
dinance.
There are those that believe that
the city council will solve the con-
troversy satisfactorily rather than
call an election, if a petition with
the required number of names is
presented. The advocates of the
initiative are not banking on this,
and if successful in securing the
necessary number of signers will
prepare to launch a regular cam
paign for the enlightenment OF
voters on the question in order to
insure its success at the polls.
The Central Labor union ap'
proved this plan at its meeting last
week and will probably consider II
again tonight. Other unions have
likewise endorsed it, and the so
| cialists at their meeting last night
in Oliver hall unanimously voted
to aid in the circulation of the in
| itiatiVe petitions.

A NATIONAL ISSUE?

The Exshaw cement letting con-

come a national issue. A contract
was awarded by the board of pub

Alberta, Canada, for $3.50.
Two telegraphic protests have
just been received by Mayor Pratt
against the awarding of the con-
tract to the Exshaw company on
the ground that 1t is foreign cor

These protests come from the

The kilograms were turned over
to George w. Armstrong, city COM

the fact that the Exshaw cement

cents on the barrel. Mr.. Armstrong

have no effect, as the contract has
