County Commissioners,
City.
Gentlemen:.
In reply to your questions
about refundment of taxes, etc.
in case where lands were not
taxable, because the title was
in the United States at the
time of the assessment, let me
say. Where lands. the title to
which had not passed from the
United States, have been sold
by the auditor treasurer for
taxes, the sales are not only
void, but they are made by the
wrongful act of the officer MAX
ing them, and the money re.
ceived on such sales must be
refunded 2. In such a case,
there is no need to have the
judgement of a court setting
the sale or tax aside. Upon
proper application for refund
ment, when you are satisfied of
the fact that the land was not
taxable, for the reason stated, q !
retundment is q m tier of
course. 8. The law provides
that on such sales, all taxes,
penalties and costs paid, shall
be refunded, with Z per cent in

Around the
Police Station

The mystery of the shattered bullet
that killed Kauhaihao being found in
his pocket has been explained, and
there now remains not the slightest
doubt that the man was. as the police
have believed, suicide. A more de-
tailed examination of the bunk in
which the unfortunate successor of the
murdered Waterman was found has re
vealed the spot on the wall where the
bullet struck.
The spot was at a place which in
dicated that Kauhaihao was sitting up
when he committed the deed. the bullet
striking the wall after passing through
his head and the man falling to the
floor Of the bunk at the same moment.
Under these circumstances the pellet
could have easily dropped into his
pocket The motive for his suicide has
however, gone to the grave with him.

WHEY HAS DEAR
HUBBY ARRESTED

Norman Brown, who came to Spo-
kane recently from Idaho to engage
in the mining brokerage business,
has been arrested on a complaint
sworn to by his wife.
When Brown arrived in Spokane
it is alleged that he soon found an
affinity in the person of a woman
referred to in the complaint as Miss
Ollie Doe. He wrote to his wife. in
structing her to remain in Idaho
until he asked her to come.
Mrs. Brown came to Spokane
rather Unexpectedly on the evening
of April 16, and going to an address
given by her husband in his letters,
she was told that Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown were rooming there, but that
they were out.
Mrs. Brown did little detective
work and soon located the couple in
a restaurant on First avenue. The
story of that meeting was told in
The Press on the morning of April
II. Mrs. Brown landed with the
right hand on the jaw of the affin-
ity, at the same time snatching an
expensive hat from her head with
the left. There was a slashing in
spring millinery right then and
there, the like of which is not often
seen.

MRS. STAFFORD DEMANDS
CITIZENS POLICE PROBE
Sees the Finish of Mayor Pratt and
Sullivan in the Final 'Show
Down."

Mrs. Philip p. Stafford, st2o7 Oak
street, the brave woman whose
scoring of the police department on
floor Of the city council on the night
Of February % last led to the de-
mand for an investigation, is heart
lily in favor of the plan to now have
complete and fearless inquiry into
police methods by citizens COM
mittee. Mrs. Stafford is the chair
man of the matron committee of the
Woman's club, and practically all Of
the work that has been done by the
club in showing up conditions in the
treatment of women prisoners has
been the result Of her efforts.
She does not take the recent po-
lice Investigation seriously and
gave it no consideration, for the
reason that she saw that its pur-
pose was to shield the police and
find excuses for their conduct in
every instance in which they We're
assailed, rather than to search out
conduct that might condemn the
police.
The Press has worked in coniunc-
ton with Mrs Stafford and is ready
to testify to her honesty, sincerity
of purpose and absolute fearless
ness and independence in the effort
to bring forth the truth in regard
to the police. She has given her
time, spared no expense and made
big sacrifices in the work. all for
the purpose of having the public
know just how bad conditions are
in the city Jail and in the police
regime in general.
In an interview today Mrs. Stall
ford said:
What do think of the report of
the Investigating committee? AS a
report from an official body ii is
worse than a whitewash, and yet
admits conditions to be bad I
would like to see the report in de-
tail before I give an opinion. But
this I can say: We did not give
one single affidavit to this commit
tee, for we anticipated just the kind
of a report they sent in. And in
the first place the testimony | had
and made reference 20 on the floor
of the council February % could not
all be put before any but private
committee.
Or. Mcdowell, who was the rep
'resentative of the Wonan's club on
the first committee, understood this
very well, as one of the most valu-
able pieces of testimony we had
came from patient of his. He un-
derstood how necessary. how imper-
ative an absolutely private session
was. Do you think a session is pri-
vate when a stenographer FOR
THE POLICE is ALWAYS present
to hear and take down all testi-
mony? Because of the attitude of
the other members Of the commit
tee at that time in other matters as
well as regarding private sessions.

MATES.

Some light has been thrown on
the plan pursued in the past by the
city government in the matter of
the payment for street vacations by
property owners being benefited,
by an investigation of the case of
Jay p. Graves and A. l.. White, who
have asked for street vacations in
the Houghton & Callahan addition.
In all nearly three acres in
streets were asked to be vacated by
these gentlemen, for the purpose,
it was announced at the time, of
building mansions that will cost at
least 100000.
The kind-hearted street commit
tee, consisting of Councilmen Gray
Ostrander and Mohr, placed the
value Of the land at $500 and rec.
commended that the street vacations
sought be made on the payment OF
that amount. The council approved
the report, but some citizen in the
meantime reported the matter to
Councilman Dalke. He is in the
real estate business, and proceeded
to make an inquiry, and as a result
found that land in that vicinity was
worth from $500 to $500 per acre
He said that he would pay $500 for
the ground himself, If he were
given a chance to buy it, and be-
lieved it would bring that much un

mittee was willing to let 1t go be-

Dalke tried to get the city council
to raise the payment to be made

lacked sufficient support. He has
announced that when it comes to

final vacation of the streets that

sist that the city be compensated
at some figure near what the prop

cilmen with him, and will probably
be able to knock out the figure of
the street committee, if something
does not throw the councilmen off
the track in the meantime.

charged with having swindled by
means of fake poolroom operations.
The charges against Flannery,
made by Joe Abbott, accused. of be-

Angered and perhaps frightened by
accommodating assertions from
abroad that Russia Is going crazy
almost as whole, preliminary
steps are being taken In scientific
circles here for the appointment Of
a commission to investigate and let
the world know that 1t is mistaken,
or If it develops that there is really
something queer In the Muscovite
character, to decide what had bet

The Tarnowska trial at Venice
has had much to do with the feel

ever have reached other countries.
In Italy, however. it was impossi-
BILE to suppress them. 1t is fully
realized in st. Petersburg that they
