The storm center that was over
eastern Nebraska yesterday has
reached the st. Lawrence valley
and is rapidly moving toward the
ocean. Within the last "a hours
precipitation has been widely scat
tered from the north Pacific coast
to the Rockies, and from the Mis-
sissippi valley to the lake region
Following the storm center the high
pressure has increased in strength
and now covers almost the whole of
the country, causing the influence
of the coldwave that was telt in
the northern Rockies yesterday to
be felt over almost the whole of
the country, reaching as far east
as the Ohio valley. An average fan
of temperature of sc degrees within
the last "a hours occurred in the
Mississippi valley. A minimum
temperature of 30 degrees below
zero was reported in Alberta. The
influence of the cold-wave may
soon be felt on the Atlantic coast.
A crest of high pressure is off the
south Atlantic coast. Conditions
are favorable for fair weather to-
night and Thursday in this vicinity,
with colder tonight.

SUFFRAGETTES AND OTHERS
ATTRACTED BY TRIAL

The defense introduced very lit
lie evidence in the Gurley-Flynn-c.
I. Eiiioino conspiracy" trial this
morning, ~rangling between Attor-
neys Pu0h and Symmes occupying
the greater portion Of the time, dur
ing which Police Judge Mann and
several I. w. w. leaders were pIac-
ed on the stand.
Prosecutor Pugh sought to come
to the rescue of Judge H. l.. Ken
nan when the prosecutor considered
that Attorney Symmes was not
treating his honor with the respect
due the court, but received a mild
reprimand for his trouble, Judge
KEENAN, assuring him, THE court
can take care of itself. Mr..
Symmes and myself have been get
ting along famously together and
i think we can continue to do So"
The defendants and their many
friends, who packed the courtroom
within and without the railing, had
a good laugh at the expense of the
prosecutor. but it was the only
laugh of the morning for them, and
Attorneys Symmes and Moore fail
ed to secure the introduction of
any evidence which was of material
assistance to the defendants.

ATKINSON CASE
TO THE JURY

The morning session of the G..
e. Atkinson trial, in which the
county clerk is charged with mis-
using the interest on public funds,

Tense and the arguments of a mo-
ton for a non-suit filed by Attor-
ney r. M. Barnhart for the county
official

taken from the jury and also that

THREE MORE MEN
in THE POSTOFFICE

Three additional men have been
put to work in the post office, so
that the mail, formerly worked over
at stations A, B, G, and D may be
worked out at the main office. This
change is declared to have made 1t
possible for much of the mail going
to the suburban districts, to reach
its destination fully IL hours caller
than it did under the old system.
At that time the carriers of thia
particular mail were compelled to
wait till the station force made up
the mail for them, after it had
reached there from the main office.
Now, as soon as the main office
crew, reinforced by the three ad-
ditional men, have the mail for
these carriers made up, a messeng-
er is dispatched Immediately to
his station and the carrier starts
away Immediately with it, making
the remarkable saving Of time men,
toned above.

Judge KEENAN, refused to permit
the introduction of any evidence

against the injustice of permitting
the introduction of all evidence rel
alive to the l. w. w. movements,
while the defense was not allowed
to show the motives which actu-

MEN SUPPORT
WAGE PETITION

Approximately 400 names, many
of them those of prominent bust
ness men, are signed to the coun-
ter petition of the federal unionists
and the transfers union to the
city council, again asking an in
crease of Is cents in the wage
scale for city work. 1t was filed

to adopt the proposed new wage
scale despite the remonstrance of
some of the city's commercial in

COLD STORAGE OF
MILK

ponsible position, whom the report
er approached in careless, Off
hand way, the information was elic-
tied that the Hardwood company
freezes its surplus milk in May and
June at a temperature of above
zero and stores it in cold storage
rooms. In October and November,
when the milk gets scare, the big
cans are removed from cold storage
and thawed out by being placed in
watts Of hot water. The milk is then
ready for any process that the COM
pany may desire to use to freshen
it up and bring it up to a standard
of commercial usefulness.
MANAGER SAYS, "JUST FOR
SKINNED MILK"
Sales Manager Hagen was then
approached in the office and asked
to what extent the freezing of milk
was carried on by the company and
how much of this cold storage milk
was consumed by the people of
Spokane. Mr.. Hagen in the former
interview had pooh-hooed the idea
of refrigerator milk. saying the
thing was not practical.
THE only milk we freeze is the
skinned milk" said Mr.. Hagen,
who is the most genial of entertain.
ers when reporters come around
1--WE never sell this milk to the
trade, but simply use it instead OF
water, in washing butter and in
keeping butter cool. It Is frozen
in large blocks and is just as good
as ice for cooling butter" Mr.. Ha.
gen did not complain of a shortage
Of water for ice making purposes
that required the freezing of skim
milk instead.
Mr.. Hagen asked the reporter If
he had read the benevolent offer of

elwood, to turn his plant over to
the government or the state for 80
days or year to see If the exec
utives of the state or nation could
get any better results in the opera.

Brown
The reporter admitted that he
had seen the offer, but had conclud
ed that since the offer was not &C.
cepted that they could not teach
Mr.. Brown anything about the mill,

After admiring the additional
two stories that were being haced
for refrigerating purposes on the
top of the Hazelwood building. and
the invitation to glass Of Hazel
wood buttermilk, the reporter
thanked Mr. Hagen for his courte-
sy and bowed himself out.

LOST BY ACCIDENT
OR THEFT WHICH?

Although no evidence was intro
duced at the Joe Duffy robbery trial
to show that the defendant had ia
ken a watch fob from Charles e.
Horton, the complaining witness,
Judge ]. Stanley Webster held the
circumstantial evidence to be of
such a nature as to warrant giving
the case to the jury.
Attorney w. c. Donovan moved
for non-suit this morning but it
was decided to give the jury an
opportunity to handle the case.
According to the evidence, Duffy
and Horton were taking in the
town" on New Years eve. and
shortly after o'clock on the morn
ing of the new year, the two en-
gagged in a scuffle in which the fob
became lost. Horton claims that
Duffy stole it, while the defense
argues that it was probably lost in
the miXup.

FAKE "CURE ALL"

Fer-Don has been exposed so often
up and down the coast that it is a
pleasure for The Press to turn the
searchlight once more on his smooth
game of dipping the public. Fer-Don
like the late p. T. Barnum, is aware
of the fact that sucker is born
every minute, and it is the newly
arrived sucker that Fer-Don ap-
peals to. The most susceptible
people in the world are those that
are suffering with an ailment of
some kind. AS rule their condi-
ton weighs heavily on their mind,
and the possibility of little relief,
even from a travelling specialist
makes them a prey to men of the
type of Fer-Don.
He has been exposed in Seattle,
Portland and Sacramento, and in
most of these cities the newspapers
succeeded in driving him out en-
tirely. At the January state med
ical examination in Spokane Fer
Don sent one of his medical eX-
perts" here in an effort to secure
a license, but the applicant was
turned down by the state BOARD
Yesterday morning The Press
sent a young reporter troubled
with rheumatism to see Fer-Don.
Thes young lady showed a contract
card before him and demanded the
signature of the 81 or So con-
tract before he could see the doc
tor" The reporter tarried long
enough to get glimpse at the "sys-
TEN" and then departed.
In the afternoon another reporter
for The Press troubled with al
legged gall stones tried to see the
"inimitable," the only Fer-Don
and met with a like fate. Inc
young woman with the nurses cos
tune was most obliging. She
knew that Fer-Don could cure gall
stones, although she had not

Jan. 9, was arraigned before Judge
H. l.. KEENAN, this morning and CIV
en- "a hours in which to plead to the
murder charge.
McKelvey claims that he mistook
Johnson for a burglar and took a
shot at him. The evidence thus
far goes to show that Johnson and
another man were prowling about
the hotel corridor in half-drunken
condition, when McKelvey opening
his door a few inches, blazed away
at the intruderS.

that you may want to call it,
but it is a fact.
