PRATT PLAY To
GRANOSTANO

A. B. Campbell of Finch &
Campbell, who is also vice presi-
dent of the Washington Water
Power Co., denies the statements
attributed to him in the Spokes-
man. Review this morning. The pa
per stated that he had said that
the w. w. P. controlled the vote of
so per cent of its 1900 employees
and that such vote would be cast
for ONO against Pratt.
Mr.. Campbell waxed indignant in
speaking Of the matter and said
he made no statement as to what
the Washington Water Power Co.
would do. beyond that it was
against Pratt as matter of self
protection.
Pratt had recently assailed the
company, Mr.. Campbell says, for
no other reason than to make
cheap political capital, and In view
of this open declaration of hostility
the w. w. p. was opposed to Pratt
as a matter of self defense. The
w. w. p. had no fight against
Pratt, Mr.. Campbell said, until he
courted opposition as grandstand
play to the galleries.

Review that Pratt deserved credit

ONO VERSUS
NOISY KIDS

Colonel w. M. Ridpath, candi-
date for the republican nomination
for governor In the last state
primary. is for ONO as against
Pratt because he loves honesty
and frankness as against hypocrisy
and evasion. The activity of lot
of newcomers in the nonpartisan
movement to elect Pratt does not
set well with Colonel Ridpath and
other old-time influential citizens
Of Spokane. who were here help
ing to make city when j. T..
Burcham, Russell Collins. e. e.
Sargent, w. A. Monten and 9th
ers of that generation were back
in some kindergarten in the east.
Colonel Ridpath likes ONO. He
has known Ono for 20 years, has
done business with him continu'
ously for eight years.
The colonel still retains an abid-
ing faith In the good Judgment of
the citizens of Spokane and be-
lieves that they have had enough
OF newspaper government at the
city hall and will now vote for a
change. Calumny and abuse has
run its course In the case of Mr..
ONO, the colonel says, and the re-
action that was apparent in the re-
suit of the primaries will elect
ONO by one Of the largest MAORI
ties that was ever received by O
candidate for the mayoralty.
Among the business men around
the hotels Colonel Ridpath says
there Is but one candidate for
mayor talked of and that man is
ONO.

BOSSES HAREM
Fffendi Goes From Palace Prison Designed
to Keep Him From Throne.
(By United Press)

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 81
The sultan was deposed today and
his brother, Mehemed Rechad Eff
fendi, proclaimed his successor.
The sultan was removed from the
palace and his brother installed,
amid the widest enthusiasm.
While the ceremony was in prog
ress, great crowds about the palace
shouted:
"The tyrant is fallen! Hail to
Rechad."
The deposition was decided upon
Jointly by the national assembly
and Mohammedan church.
SheilSh III Islam, who is the head
of the church, based his decree APP
proving the deposition on the
ground of the sultan's violation of
laws OF the Moslem religion by
inimical acts. He declared, there
fore, It was not irreligious to de-
throne Hamid.
A secret session of the assembly
began at noon yesterday and con-
tinued all day. 1t Is certain the
sultan will be stripped of his large
fortune. At sunrise tomorrow the
sultan will officially be declared de-
posed at religious ceremony.
Civil war may be the outcome, as
many are still loyal to Hamid. A
salute of 101 guns, officially an
nonucing the enforcement of a
new sultan, was fired at 2:05 this
afternoon.
The crowds went wild with en-
thusiasm and expressions of conf
dence in the new regime were
heard on every side. The assembly
took secret vote upon the de-
thronement decision and submitted

CA r E E. r OF CRIME
LIVED BY WOMAN

LIKE A CHERUB.

MERCER, Pa, April 27.-All the
mystery Helen Boyle has thrown
about herself since her arrest for
the kidnapping of Billy Whitla is
torn away.
The morning after the arrest in
Cleveland of man and a woman
charged with this now famous
crime, a golden haired woman with
a smiling face like that of cherub
gave her name at the Cleveland
police headquarters as Helen Falk-
ner.
A little later she changed it to
Mrs. James H. Boyle, and insisted
with much indignation that she was
the wife of James Boyle, the man
with whom she was arrested.
The woman told of her innocence
of the crime. She declared that
she had never known that the boy
had been kidnapped. All she had
done was simply to take care Of
him. 80
She smiled, she chatted, she drop
ped hints of convent-bred life, she
murmured what she had to say in a
beautiful voice of deep contralto.
She worried because her black
silk gown didn't fit her. She played
the role Of innocence, and neither
by look nor gesture did she betray.
for one instant that she was ner-
vous or especially interested in the
case. ta
Since she was brought to the
Mercer Jail, this woman had eaten
heartily and laughed and made
friends with everybody in the jail
building, keeps and prisoners alike.
She has been exceedingly careful
of her personal appearance. Her
hands are well manicured, her
brows and eyes are pencilsd.
Helen Boyle in every awy has
acted like the lady of leisure. per-
secuted by cruel and unfeeling
public. She has been the refined
woman in trouble, the well edu
Gated and kind hearted woman who

This is the portrait of herself
which Helen Boyle has painted to
attract an interested public.
This is the woman she wanted us
to believe Helen Boyle is.
