The latest move on the part of
the police department to hide the
records of their performances
from the people of Spokane was
taken yesterday, when T. was an
nOunced that the desk officers
would be closeted off from the
general public and that no one
would be allowed to view the
docket arrests in the future.
Furthermore, all citizens will be
barred from approaching the
booking window.
This announcement was made
by Captain of Detectives Burns,
who is not satisfied with the Spo-
kane status of affairs, but is a
great admirer of the way things
are done in Seattle. Without &C.
cess to the arrest docket, only the
small items of news which the po-
lice officers care to toss out to the
hungry reporters can possibly be-
come public. Captain Burns says
Chief Sullivan is responsible for
the order.
The policy of secreting the news
and surrounding everything at the
station with an air of mystery is
one of the chief bush league"
tricks of the local department.

RIO GRANDE DEAL
UNITED Press Leased Wire)

DENVER, Col, March 25.-It is
persistently reported here today
that Edwin Hawley has secured
large blocks of stock in the Denver
& Rio Grande, and is now in a posi-
ton to dominate the Western Pa
cific and the policy of the Denver
& Rio Grande also. The rumor is
being given wide credence, as Haw-
ley is known to be heavily inter
ested in the stocks of the Western
Pacific. 1t is also reported that he
has been named for the vice-presi-
dency of both roads.
1t is said Hawley got control of
the Western Pacific through his
control of Denver & Rio Grande
stock.
This road recently acquired $780,
100000 of the $75,000,000 stock out
standing of the Western Pacific,
which was deposited as collateral
security with the Bankers Trust
company of New York for it's re-
Gently authorized bond issue of
$780, 100000. This ties up the stock
of the Western Pacific SO that no
person or corporation could gain
control without likewise gaining
dominance of the Denver & Rio
Grande.

TROUBLE IN
SHAKER COLONY
NV United Press Leased Wire)

LEBANON, Ohio, March 3D.
The famous Shaker colony of
Union village today has a new re-
ceiyer, following the resignation of
four of it's oldest members from
the management of the colony's
affairs.
; The receiver is J. A. Runyan,
who succeeds the four elderly
Shakers in an attempt to save
their organization from disruption.
The Shakers withdrew because
advanced age and physical disa-
bilities prevented them from sue
cessfully managing the colony.
The colony owns 1000 acres of
fertile land, valued at more than
100000, and possesses property
to the amount of 100000. There
are "a members of the colony, the
youngest member being 20 years
old. The original number in the
colony was 500.

At Is cents per 1000 gallons the
large users of water, such as the
apartment house owners, the office
buildings, stores and large dwell
lings, in a majority of cases, have
the small householder, where
meters were used The ordinance
passed by the city council last
night gives the same large water
consumer a one-third lower price
and cuts out the man with the
small home from the opportunity
of saving mach. The owner of
the four room house or shack is ig-
nored in the new dispensation.
AS originally presented the new
meter proposed to make mini
mum for the use of the meter of
so cents per month. This would
give the man with the four room
house a chance by economy to
save a little on his water bill. as
the present minimum under the
flat rate is so cents per month for
four rooms or less.
Instead of passing the ordinance
as originally drawn the minimum
was last night, at the request of
the water department collection Of
flee. raised to SO cents per month,
practically cutting off the man
with the small house from any
participation in the benefits of the
meter.
When a family pays so cents to
e., 1In6pr> hp
present flat rate and 81 to So per
year extra for lawn rent, it is not
going to pay SIS to install meter
with the sole incentive to economy
being the possibility of saving the
lawn rent. 1t may pay family
with a six room modern house or
larger to make the change, but not
the man with the cottage. Hence
the new meter ordinance means
the saving of tens of thousands OF
dollars year to the large property
owners, who will get their water
at the expense of the little fellow,
for whom the meter offers no in
ducement. This assertion is made
because on investigation it will be
found that IS per cent of the
meters in large properties at 10
cents per 1000 are saving money
over the present flat rate. The
flat rates are unchanged in the new
ordinance.
Councilman Ostrander was the
chief advocate of the new meter
ordinance, although it was intro
duced by Councilman Mohr, with
50-cent minimum. Ostrander had
the ordinance amended at the sug-
gestion of the water department,
and it was passed without an OPP
posing vote of the city council.
1t might be mentioned in this
connection that at the meeting last
Tuesday night Ostrander submit
ted the meter ordinance to Gordon
c. Corbaley for his approval. Mr..
Corbaley is connected with the Ar
thur d. Jones company, owners OF
the Cannondale water system,
which has oppressed the people in
a most outrageous manner.
The ordinance provides that the
property owner shall pay for the
installation of the meter, estimated
at $12 to SIS; that the smallest
rate under the meter shall be so
cents per month, under which a
minimum of 5000 gallons will be
allowed; that the rate per 1000
gallons shall be 10 cents; that the
meter rents shall be payable
quarterly in the residence districts:
that consumer with a number OF
houses together can use water
from one meter, but that there
shall be a minimum of so cents
on each house. Under the old rule
such property owner was required
to install a meter for each house.
The new meter ordinance is es-
sentially a rich mans ordinance.

Senator Daniel lies critically i'll

Ryan is very strong politically in

should the senator not survive his
illness, is credited in many quar-

Ryan long has cherished an am

succeed himself in 1911 should he
he named to complete an unfin
