ASK STATE TO AID
MAYNARD GIRLS

The question of whether or not
the state shall contribute to the
support of homes for the care OF
Maynard girls was discussed AZ
the chamber of commerce at their
luncheon today.
The committee on legislation re-
ported favorably on resolution
to request the Legislature to make
an appropriation for the aid of the
House of the Good Shepherd in this
city Some of the members object.
ed to asking the legislature to as
sist private institution, and the
matter was finally referred back
to the committee TO ask the legis-
latcre to help all institutions in
the state that have as heir object
the retaining of hayward girls,
till ssuch time as the state can pro
vide a suitable home for this pur'
pose.

MAYOR APPEALS
To COUNCIL

Mayor Moore will ask the
council for assistance in the emer-
gency charity tonight.
This is an issue which the city
must meet" said the mayor at the
chamber of commerce luncheon at
noon today. Startling with 400,
the number of men who are taking
advantage of the shelter of the
tabernacle has increased till this
morning when we came to issue
the tickets for a 10 cent breakfast
which we are giving to the needy
men we found that it required 500
to go round. This makes daily
expense of $50 to 500. We have
now enough money to keep us go
ing for a couple of days. This is
certainly the best solution of the
problem; II we do not take care
of these men they will go out in
the city and either beg or steal
food, and besides this there will
be much suffering"
Private contributions will also
be gladly received by the mayor.

That's some dinner for a hungry
man, if anybody should ask you.

Mayor Moore and charitable peo-
pie are raising is growing. and at
noon today amounted to $4S9.60.

IT'S TIME TO CHANGE UNITED
STATES SENATORS, BUT
THERE'S NO SIGN OF THE
OLD AND BELOVED BARREL.
Especial to The Press.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 12.-As far as
the state legislature is concerned,
there is no such thing in existence
as a United States senator. For
the past few days the clans have
been foregathering in Olympia in
ever increasing numbers, milling
around hotel Hobbies, gripping
hands, like a huge disordered May
pole dance and vainly trying to
names and faces. Every
thing under the legislative sun has
been discussed more or less with
the oslo exception of a United
States senator.
And the oldtimers, with the
recollections of previous sessions
when a senator was to be chosen
marvel and deplore the change, as
sorting that they have fallen on
small times when able-bodied law
makers must concern themselves
and vent their abilities on the Sc
lection of pages and doorkeepers.
But that's just what they have
had to do. The speakership fight
took up some of the time, and the
chief clerkship the remainder, and
1t wasn't until yesterday that
somebody mentioned the senator
ship and called the fact to the
legislative minds.
All the glories Of the senatorial
election have vanished The
sumptuous headquarters are no
more, and the suave ingratiating
lobbyist is at best fond recollec-
ton, or working on two-bit job,
and there is nothing but a legisla-
tive grind ahead now that the
speakership and chief clerk mat

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. ~
Patrick Calhoun, president of the
United Railroads, today faced
Judge Lawler, accused of offering
a bride of $4,000 to Supervisor F.
P. Nicholas. Heney is at the prose-
cution's desk for the first time
since he was shot.
Heney began the preliminary
motions of what promises to be
the most renowned trial in the his
tory of California courts. Twenty
months have elapsed since Cal
hound was first indicted. During
that time three supplemental in
dictments have been returned
against him. He Is now facing
trial on one of them.
The prosecution announced that
no further continuances would be
asked, and the defense declared
itself ready for trial. Calhoun, in
the hope of getting speedy trial,
asked the attorneys to brush aside
all technicalities. Attorneys pre-
dict it will take two weeks to Sc
cure jury.

POSTAL

Postal savings banks in the form
of n resolution drawn by the New

BELL
WILL Be HERE

During the spring or summer,
the people of Spokane will have
an opportunity to see the Liberty
Bell" the ringing of which in 1776
started the conflict that resulted
in the freedom of America from
England.
A communication received from
Philadelphia to the chamber of
commerce stated that the bell will
be brought west during the COM
ing season and, If desired, arrange
ments would be made to have it
exhibited in Spokane. The cham

that the bell be exhibited here.

OLE BOUND To
KILL B00K|ES
Especial to The Press)

OLYMPIA, Jan. 12.-Ole Hansen
and his anti-race track bill are both
bowling in the legislative spotlight,
while a considerable number OF
the applauding audience have race
track bills of their own which will
compete with that of the King
county man for an honored posi-
ton on the statute books. Hansen
claims to know little of politics as
an exact science, but he has the
kinetic and dynamic energy of a
dozen post graduates, and the
members of the lower house talk
about him until they meet him,
and then listen to him.
Hansen is sure that a bill will
be passed to put the race track
gambling out of existence, and he
is now serving notice on friend
and stranger alike that the bill
which passes must have his 20.
K" or there will be a Hansen roar
go up throughout the state that
will echo all the way to Norway,
and back to The Meadows.
Prosecuting Attorney Wander
veer, according to Hansen, has an
nounced that the ponies will not
run at The Meadows next year no
matter what action the Legislature
takes. Mr.. Vanderveer has been
in Olympia working on the new
state code, and Hansens bill may
go into the code.
This is satisfactory to Hansen
as far as it goes, always provided
it doesn't interfere with the pas.
sage of his measure early in the
session.

lover RELIEF

ROME. Jan. 1.-THE Italian
government today decided to adopt
the Elan of relief modelled after
the one used by the United States
Red Cross following San Francis
cos, disaster. Ambassador Girls
CON, who returned from southern
Italy today, said the archbishops
of Nessina and Reggie told him
the Nberality of England would be
proved, as Italy must rely there
for Greatest aid. Griscom said the
stricken territory is depending on
the United States for aid. Friction

GET WORK OUT OF
THE JANITORS

Score one for the new commits
sioners. They have had the snow
removed from the front steps of
the court house. rendering life and
limb safer while ascending to the
main floor Of the temple of justice.
About two-thirds the width of the
steps have been covered with snow
and the janitors, each in turn,
denied that it was his duty to re-
move it.
The new commissioners told the
janitors the snow had to go regard
less of whose line of work it was,
and sure enough the snow disap-
peared. Likewise the sidewalk
around the county building has
been freed from snow, to the great
JOY of people who have business
there.
The county commissioners have
concluded to make some one re-
sponsible for the better care of the
courthouse, and will appoint head
ianitor, whose duty it shall be to
take general supervision of the
cleanliness of the building The
head janitor will have fun charge
over his assistants and can require
the men to all turn In and lend a
hand to someAneeded work like
cleaning the walks

FACES
HENEY IN COURT
President of United Railroads Is at Last
Brought to Trial for Graft.

Heney, who arrived from the
east last night, was greeted by
hundreds of San Francisco citi-
zens at the ferry building. He Is
looking better.
District Attorney Langdon an
nounced today that all other graft
trials will be rushed. Attorney A.
S. Newburg is now being tried on
the charge of Offering a bride to
a prospective juror. M. w. Coffey
is the first of the boodling super
visors to face trial. Coffey's i'm
munity was withdrawn by tho
prosecution because he refused to
testify in the graft trial.
Langdon says the fight trust
men, Eddie Graney, Willis Britt
and James Coffroth, are next in
order. Former Chief of Police
jeremiah Oman, charged with per-
jury, and Porter Ashe and Luther
Brown, United Railroad attorneys
charged with kidnapping Fremont
Older of the Bulletin, will soon be
tried.
With Heney at the prosecutors
table were Langdon and Assistant
District Attorney John O'Gara. For
Calhoun were A. A. Moore, the
latter's son and a former district
attorney, l.. F. Byington. Calhoun
seemed in good spirits when he
entered the room just ahead of
Heney.

SHERWOOD WANTS
PROPERTY MARKS

J. ID. Sherwood, in communica-
ton to the mayor today, advocates
Engineer Ralston's proposition to
have an appropriation of $1,000 to
start work of establishing property
monuments and bench marks.
MIR. Sherwood says he has met
with considerable trouble by the
lack of official monuments. Several
years ago the lot on Riverside av-
enue on which the Sherwood block
now stands was surveyed by city
engineer. Later 1t was found to
be II inches off the line. The
same trouble, he says. has been
experienced by other property
owners.

LOCAL OPTION BIG ISSUE

to be reasonable" local option
law, but the term reasonable" Is
susceptible of SO many and vary
ing definitions according to wheth-
err the legislator works behind a
pulpit or a bar, with all the inter-
mediate variations from bonedust
dry to sopping wet, that there Is
not yet any common ground for
action.
Up until today the various or
ganization troubles occupied the
attention of the members of both
houses to such an extent that
Royal Arch and Anti-Saloon league,
except insofar as they affected the
speakership. have been negative
quantities, but from now on John
Barleycorn will have fight on his
hands, and a fight to save what he
can from the wreck.

GRAVES FIGHT
IS COMING Up

1t is unlikely there will be any
particular discussion at tonight's
council meeting on the new scheme
of Jay p. Graves and his associates,
who have applied for a perpetual
franchise to run street cars over
northside streets according to their
own terms. A loud protest has
come from northsiders not only
from the fact that the franchise
stipulates no revenue to the city,
but from the perpetual clause.
Mayor Moore opposes the fran
chise, and will use his influence
with the council to kill it, The
mayor wants a reasonable recon-
pense for any privileges the city
grants corporations Past expert
ence has shown the council does
not side with the mayor on these
propositions. There were excuses
that previous Graves franchises
opened up new territory. The same
cannot be said of this one.
Councilman Lambert will un-
doubtedly succeed j. S. Phillips as
president of the council. The indi-
Gator points that way. Mr.. Phillips
has resigned to take his place on
the county board of commissioners.
The republicans held a caucus yes
terday and settled on Lambert for
president, II is unlikely this frame
up will be broken. Peter Nelson
succeeds Mr.. Phillips as council
man.

Especial to The Press)

OLYMPIA, Jan. 12.-What sort
of a local option bill will be pass
ed by the present legislature
Among the many men with many
thoughts uppermost in their minds,
that of local option holds fairly
prominent part and is causing al
ready not q few legislative worries.
On the face of it, it is not a To-
cal option legislature, but local
option has the force of militant
public opinion behind it and 1t is
obvious to all, even the men who
laid down the bar apron and bung
starter to make laws, that some
thing has to be done with the
question.
