When this boy stands before a
Judge IN the superior court this
afternoon. the magistrate will prob
ably know that the grandson of one
OF the greatest authorities of the
study of law is waiting his sentence,
Yoting Cooley is grandson of
Judge Thomas n. Cooley. dean of
the law department of Ann Arbor,
Mich. and author of many text
books

To CLOSE
COUNTRY
SALOONS
LOCAL OPTiONlSTS FILE A
PETITION WITH COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS

A petition containing over 1900
signatures was filed this morning
with the county auditor calling for
a special election on May 81 to de-
eide whether or not Spokane coun-
ty is tot be totally dry outside of
the incorporated towns.
An examination of the books of
the county commissioners shows
that there are only two saloons In
the unincorporated district, one at
Colbert and the other at Denison,
which means that the local option
election is for the purpose of de-
feating the wet" victory at Col
bert and Nine Mile in the town
ship election March /.
The signatures of less than 1900
voters, or 80 per cent of the vote
within the unincorporated portions
of Spokane county, are necessary
to secure a vote on the question,
but Superintendent l.. r. Horton of
the Local Option association, add
ed over 200 to that number.
The Incorporated towns within
the county which will not be af-
fected by the election are: Spo-
kane, Medical Lake, Cheney,
Spangle. Latah. Waverley,. Rock
ford. Deer Park, Hillyard and Fair
field.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, March
ia prominent minister, active
in church work, was one OF the nu-
merous victims of the Maybray
gang of fixed race swindlers, ac-
cording to the statement today of
man who was once active in the
organization.
The assertion was verified later
by several members of the gang,
who are here in order to attend the
trial of John c. Maybray. the al
legged leader and his alleged asso-
ciates, now in Pittsburg, before
Judge Mcpherson.
According to testimony offered
on the stand today, one-half the
money gained from dupe was al
ways pad to the "steerer" who had
persuaded him to bet on a fake
contest.
Howard Simpson, Spokane

Labor and the Woman's club
had the usual lemon handed them
by the council last night. The
delegation from each presented the
cause Of the police matrons again
and the council referred the whole
matter to the judiciary committee,
which will meet Monday and daily
some more probably.
Then labor was handed an extra
lemon for good count. there being
no 5000 men on hand to protest.
On motion of Schaeffer. seconded
by FUNK, the council pigeonholed
the petition of labor to have the
investigating committee increased
by the addition of union man to
be named by labor, not by the
mayor. Funk who is supposed to
represent labor. deliberately turned
on his constituents, just as a week
before he had not dared lift his
voice when he saw labor's spOkes-
man thrown from the council cham
ber Probably Mr.. Funk will be
remembered by labor later.
1t was more than ever evident
last night for some mysterious
reason the council was not going to
have any real investigation of the
police department nor any police
matrons. 1t was evident that the
council was even willing to have
the whole thing handled by the
mayor, who has taken it out of the
hands of the council these last few
days, despite the general feeling
in the council that it usually
doesn't want the mayor to butt in.
The women and labor are Won
dering today just how bad condi-
tions are in the police department
IL every official of the city govern
ment is so intensely eager to keep
the whole mess covered up, and
why it is that politicians who usu-
ally fight each other are so much
in unison in denying fair investi'
cation, or three police matrons.
Meanwhile, labor has notified its
member of the latest mayor COM
mittec to withdraw, as the leaders
will have nothing to do with any
probing committee that is domin-
ated by Sullivan, or soon-to-be
(maybe) Corporation Counsel
Blair. anC unless there is fair
committee appointed by the mayor,
said committee being chosen not by
the official clique now hunting
cover. but by the organizations di-
rectly concerned, then a secret
committee will be authorized and
its final findings and the evidence
that caused them will be printed.
The public will discover many
things of interest If it reads The
Press these next few weeks. 1t
will also discover the real truth
about municipal and county condi-
tions.
The attitude of the German So
cieties Is about that of labor.
while we feel that the mayors
selection for us was good one.
and that Mr.. Gundlach will always
be on the right side. we feel that
this is a six to one committee, with
the six probably welded to the ad
ministration program as were the
two out of the three on the original

many times to reach Colonel Roose-
welt, many of the natives being pos

his hand or clothes. The guards

party and constantly were forced to
open the way ahead by forcing the
people back. -.
