Ask COUNCIL
To Make new
ORDINANCE

The council chamber was throng-
ed last night with a crowd eager
to hear the discussion of the street
speaking ordinance. There were two
pleas for the passage of new or
dinance and the repeal of the old
one, but no discussion of the ques-
ton by the city council occurred.
1t was voted to meet at o'clock
this afternoon in committee of the
whole to consider the matter.
r. j. Tamblen, representing the
socialists of Spokane, appeared with
a petition asking for the revocation
of the present ordinance and the
passage of one in its stead per-
hitting street speaking under po-
lice supervision.
Carl Evans, of the typographical
union, representing the committee
of five members appointed by the
Central Labor council at its meet
ing Monday night, said that he had
no sympathy for the Industrial
Workers as an organization but was
with them in their efforts to secure
their rights of free speech granted
by the constitution He pointed to
the speeches of Taft and Bryan as
violations of the street speaking or
dinance that were permitted with
out objection by the police, and
cited this as discrimination.
A committee of three councilmen
was appointed to investigate condi.
tons at the city Jail. This commit
tee consists of Councilmen Nelson
Mohr and Shaefer, who will report
their findings this afternoon.

HOW TT ALL
CAME ABOUT

L. Gatewood, spokesman for the
committee of I. w. w. members
that called on Mayor Pratt with
reference to the street speaking
ordinance. says that had the orig
inal ordinance not been amended
at the request of the mayor, to
favor the Salvation Army and the
Volunteers of America, that the In
dustrial Workers would not have
offered protest, at least not at
this time.
The committee insisted that the
order permitting the religious bod
les to hold meetings in the streets
was discrimination. The commit
tee says that the mayor was urged
to make an adjustment of some
kind, but that he positively refused
to recede or consent to the altera-
ton of the ordinance in any way,
after which it was concluded to
launch the campaign for freedom
of speech on the street.

In fact, face these damage suits,

question.
"Of course these cases will have

will be able to win one of its

WIDELY SEPARATE OPINIONS
The ideas of the mayor and
those of the temporary leaders of
the |. w. w. are widely separated.
With the revolutionists. the fight
is still for free speech, and conf
dence is expressed of an ability to
collect damages from the city for
alleged misuse at the hands of the
police.
Revolutionary leaders declare
speech is not free so long as 1t is
confined to a certain place, in a

A Good Uesd
Piano.Cheap

The wealthiest people in Spokane
are equipping their homes with
Pianola Pianos and Chickering
Pianos.
Almost every sale of a Pianola
Piano brings us a used piano in ex
change.
Wouldn't you like one of these
instruments with famous name
in splendid condition and at very
reasonable price?
They are real piano bargains
not cheap instruments at ridicu
lousy high prices cut in half for
effect. Nor are they wornout
pianos.
Come and see them. We list a
few below to give you an idea OF
the value we are offering.
Emerson, regular $3.50 piano, now
$500.
Hinze, was 1925, now 1920.
Whitney, was 1915, now 1925.
Kimball, would sell new for 1915
can be bought now for 1855.
Knabe, $575 piano, now $500.
Dunbar, slightly used, now $500,
Steinway in fine condition, re-
duced $16O.
We also have some good bargains
in Player Pianos, used Pianolas and
Orans. These demand early at
tention. A few dollars down and
small payments monthly will secure
any of these instruments.

SLEEPS
 WITHIN YOSEMITE HE FINGERED AMONG THE BIG
 TREES. Their Size and Age Impressed Him
 Deeply.

Glacier Point, Cal, Oct. S.-Presi- dent Taft arrived this evening after nightfall. The drive from wawona, where he spent the forenoon visiting the Mariposa big tree groves, was over twenty-six miles of mountain road, and MT. Taft was ready for bed immediately after dinner. The pres ident arose before dawn today and started for the sequoia trees in a dense fog which quickly cleared, however. as soon as the sun found it's way over the mountain tops.
 The president was deeply impressed by the immense trees.. especially in the upper groves. He was photo graphed at the base of the Grizzly Giant, the biggest and oldest tree in the world. and he was snapped also fin the stage as it passed through the trunk of Wawona, one of the largest forest monarchs. The president was continually on foot in the grove and stood for minutes at a time in con- compilation of the fluted columns. The "Old Guard" of four trees in a row, the Faithful Couple" and others of the more noted trees were pointed out.
 The stage ride from Wawona to Gla- cier Point carried the president to maximum elevataion of 7700 feet. To- night, guarded by, cavalrymen. he is sleeping at an elevation of 1000 feet. in a little hotel here.

\ FIGHT FOR TERRITORY
They Demand an Equal Di- , vision of the Great Re , zion Lying Between Mis-
 sissippi and Missouri
 River Points and Ocean

Seattle, Oct S.-Before the inter- state commerce commission, the Pa- cific coast shippers today began their fight for distributive railroad rates that will let them extend their market eastward. They asked for reductions that would enable them to meet St. Paul and Kansas City half way. The leading Seattle and Tacoma shippers told how they were restricted by the low class rates granted westward from Mississippi and Missouri river points and the high rates charged eastward from the coast
 The head of the largest wholesale grocery and hardware store in Seattle testified that his firm could get no further east than northern Idaho, rare answer to counsel for the railroads. he said that he did not complain of any advantage Spokane or Walla Walla jobbers had by reason of their location It was the eastern shipper with whom he asked to be put on an equal footing.
 All coast cities were united in this demand for lower rates eastward. Af- ter the hearing is concluded here next week the Portland merchants will pre- sent their case and the San Francisco shippers whose time is set for Octo- Der IS, will be heard.
