IS AFTER
STAFFORD

w. c. Donovan, special prose
cutor in the enlightenment case
against w. Nj. Stafford, poor farm
superintendent, laid the foundation
this morning for his charges that
the official appropriated $29,75 of
the countys money to his own use
in 1906.
Charles r. Howard, deputy audi.
tor and secretary of the, board OF
county commissioners, c. l.. At
kinson, county clerk and former
warrant clerk, were placed on the
stand to testify as to the sums paid
Stafford each month, the telephone
bills being one of the items includ-
ed in the monthly bills.
Donovan will finish the states
case this afternoon, trying to prove
that Stafford allowed the telephone
bill to accumulate for six months,
although he received monthly re.
mittances from the county to salts
fly the claim, and then had Howe,
a Spangle grocer, pay the bill and
charge the county with under
wear"
1t is understood that the de-
Tense, represented by Attorneys
Nuzum & Nuzum, Graves, Kizer &
Graves and p. G. Sullivan, will at
tempt to show that Stafford and
the county were acting together as
debtor and creditor, rather than
principal and agent, which would
materially affect the aspect OF the
case.
The following were the jurors
sworn in yesterday afternoon: G..
II. Brownlee, Elmer r. Oliver, H..
A. Bowman, Thomas Meagher, j.
w. G.. Hartford, T. j. Genres, Lewis

CUTE" JOB

One of the cutest robberies and
yet one of the most open and dar-
ing jobs which has been pulled off
in Spokane for many months. was
perpetrated on the Bank of Mon
treal few days ago.
The man who got the money is
thought to be an Italian, though his
name is not known. He appeared
at the bank recently and told them
his name was Peter Seitresberg and
that he had lost his bank book.
Seitresberg is a Russian, who lives
at the Union hotel and who had
about 1915 in the Montreal bank.
The clerks fell for the state
ment of the imitation Mr.. Seitres-
berg and a new book was issued.
At the same time the Italian de-
posted about $50 on Seitresberg' s
account and had it marked in the
book A few days later he ap-
peared again. Recognizing him as
the man who deposited $50 a few
days before, the bank clerks lost
no time in paying him the entire
account when he asked for it.

nor to the council last evening,
said Mr. Blair, but will do so to
morrow. His action in writing
such letter to the council at such
a time is eminently characteristic
The charges it contains are wholly
untrue"
Conner charges that Blair threw
down the city in the Engelking
case for $4,000 damages, in which
the city was held for $4,000, and
in the King case for $4,000
damages, in which the city gained
a victory. He alleges a conspiracy
to disrupt the office and hamper
the city's legal business. in which,
says Blair, he was aided by Ernest
Sargent, former employe in the
office, and because of which Con-
nor resigned.
Conner is backed up in his state
ment by Bruce Blake, an assistant
in the office, who resigned yester-
day and went out of the office
with Conner. Blake is young at
torney of good standing, whose
word is unquestioned.
The reading of these charges
was one of the most dramatic Incl
dents that has occurred in the city
council in a long time. 1t stunned
the city council, it might be said,
so plain and vigorous was the ac-
cusatiOn.

longing to the park board and have
been fitted up with light and heat
and made as comfortable as posi-
BILE under the circumstances. The
health department faced a serious
emergency during the winter and
the close proximity of these build
ings to the hospital saved the day.
So much for the general appear
ance of things. DR.. Grieve and the
health board are apparently doing
everything they can for the COM
fort and relief of those so unfor-
tunate as to be detained in the in
stitution. The taxpayers are foot
ing the bills cheerfully, the only
question remains-are the patients
getting what is coming to them in
the way of food from the superin-
tendent, V. B. Harris. and has Har-
riS proflted more than he should in
return for the services given the
taxpayers for the large amounts of
money he has drawn, r board, sal
airy and transportation of patients.
The records show that Harris has
drawn over $4,000 in the last %
months from the city for boarding
and hauling patients to the hospital.
He is on the payroll as superintend-
ent at $1,000 per year and his wife
is on the payroll as nurse at $3.50
per day. All of the help around the
h fol hD
dishwasher is paid for by the city
Harris charges board for the
nurses and the help as we'll as the
patients, billing the meals to the
city at % cents each. He pays no
rent, no water charges, no light
bill. Harris owns a large ranch
said to contain 800 acres, near
Cheney. from which he draws his
supply of milk and possibly his
vegetables. In this way some of
the necessities for the patients are
secured direct from the native
source of production, which is all
to the advantage of the patients
even though it may be good bust
ness for Harris. During the first
two weeks patients receive only a
diet of milk or soup, which is billed
to the city the same as solid food
When the question as to how
they were treated was put to the
various patients the answer usually
received was "all right" The re-
porter asked three boys in the
scarlet fever ward as to how were
the meals The BOYS exchanged
smiles and then remarked, "Oh, |
guess it's all right. We have man.
aged to live on it." But they would
make no statement in detail.
Harris showed the reporter the
larder in which he kept his meats.
There was half quarter of beef
in the box and also three immense
soup bones that had once been
boiled, but were set aside, evidently
for further use The fresh meat
had the appearance of being of eX-
cellent quality.

A kick on the multiplicity of in
spectors at the city hall in the
matter of buildings was register
ed last night by Councilman Funk.
Building Inspector Finney had
previously suggested the possibility
CT an adjustment in which the in
spection work now done severally
by the city building, electrical and
plumbing departments could be
combined and one man made to do
the work that now requires three.

sary to begin work on an ordinary

have so much red tape and so many
inspectors that it takes too much
time to get around. I would like
to have some plan adopted where
by we could simplify this thing and
be able to dispatch business of this

Discussing Alaskan matters, he
continued:
These Alaskan coal lands and
claims, at their market value, are
withdrawn from entry, awaiting
classification, and all the unentered
or INDICATED coal lands of Alaska
are standing under an absolute
withdrawal act of 1906 and not a
patent has ever been issued to an
acre of coal land in Alaska. In fact,
nearly all the coal lands that have
been patented have been obtained,
not as coal lands, but under the
guise of some other form of entry
as agricultural, timber or stone, etc.
No man, or set of men, can comply
with the present laws and finance
mine on the public domain of GAO
acres of land except under eX-
tremely favorable conditions. The
absurdty of the law has. in itself,
invited fraud and indirect methods
of evading it's provisions.
ut is likewise practicable to Sc
cure oil or gas lands or phosphate
lands under the general mineral
laws, and in all these cases there is
no power of control or ability in

oily in the sale of the deposits We
the title is once secured thereto
Awaiting remedial legislation from
congress, all known areas of public
lands containing these deposits are

gress will furnish the interior de-
partment the necessary machinery
