WILL AID
|NQU|R

e. o. Conner, former corporation
counsel, when asked for statement
today in reply to the return attack
made on him by the new corpora.
ton counsel, John E. Blair, in let
ter to Mayor Pratt, published this
morning, said that he had nothing
to say beyond what was contained
in his original letter to the city
council. The former city legal head
does not desire to proIong the con-
troversy through the newspapers,
but will give all aid possible to the
council committee investigating the
conduct of the corporation counseI's
office.
Blair is scared that the council
may chop off his head and has had
some of his influential friends in
terview the councilmen and plead
his case.
Corporation Counsel Blair has
named V. T. Tustin and r. l.. Nc
Williams, bright young lawyers, as
his assistants. Both men qualified
today by taking the usual oath. Mr..
Blair qualified yesterday by giving
a bond for $4,000, with the Pacific
Surety company as bondsman.

LEGALITY
Of CLAUSE
ATTACKED
LAWYERS SAY TERMINAL RATE
PROVISION WILL NOT
STAND.
TWOWR|TTEN OPINIONS

In written opinions submitted to-
day by request to A. w. Doland,
chairman Of the interstate COM
merce commission of the chamber
Of commerce, Cyrus Happy and
James M. Geraghty, attorneys, hold
that the city cannot enforce ter
minaI rate clause in the franchises
Of the Milwaukee and the North
Coast and that If the same were
granted it would be null and void.
These opinions will be read to-
night at the meeting of the chamber
of commerce on the franchise mat
ter and published in the newspapers
in advertisement form tomorrow.
1t is held that the city, in trying
to enforce terminal rates by fran
chise contract, is exceeding the au-
thority reposing in it as munich
pal corporation. Such a contract is
held to be a special contract and
contrary to the interstate commerce
law. Decisions are cited to show
that franchise contracts of this
character are not upheld by the
courts. and that violations of the
same have been held as not invali-
dating the franchise.
H. M. Stephens, attorney in the
Spokane rate case, and Frank
Graves, attorney for the Hill inter
ests, believe that the terminal rate
provision will stand.

BOY MAKESA
STRONG PLEA
FOR LEN|ENCy

One Of the strongest appeals for
Ieniency ever made by prisoner in
local court was heard this morn
ing before Judge n. L. KEENAN, of
the criminal department of the su-
perior court, when John c. Cooley,
a 21-year-oId forger, son of a New
York millionaire, told the story of
his life and explained in a straight
forward and honest manner, deyoid
of all bravado, how he became d
forger.
when I was released from the
county Jail a short time ago after
serving short sentence imposed
by Cheney judge, I had just S1.30
to my name. | spent 80 cents of
this for food for the boys at the
Jail and the remainder for room
without cent with which to
buy meal, l forged friends
name to check, intending to hunt
him ND and secure loan to cover
it. l did not find him as expected,
so began writing other checks to
cover up the preceding transac-
tiOns."
Cooley's father is a millionaire
manufacturer in New York city.
Divorce wrecked the home and
threw his son on the world
Cooley's grandfather is the author
of Cooley on Torts, one of the stan
dard legal works. The young man
told of leaving his parents in New
York at the age of 6, working mis-
way through school, his position as
president of the freshman class of
the Broadway high school at Seat
tie, and high rang in athletics.
The young fellow was sentenced
to from six months to 20 years in
the Monroe state reformatory. 1t
is probable that the youthful fOrger
will be released after serving the
minimum sentence. E

DYING AS THE DIRECT

Sullivan have men been put on
bread and water for 35 days; from
three to five days is the army regu-
lation. Ten days meaps chronic dis
ease for the average man, but for 35
days S. o. Chinn was given bread
and water diet, and from the bar
barity of the treatment he emerged
wreck, and is dying a lingering
death.
Chinn went to jail because he per-
sisted in exercising his right of free
speech, as he read the constitution.
He caused no disturbance, he de-
manded merely what he considered
his rights; he was no bomb thrower
no senseless agitatOr; he was one
of the towns citizens, and quiet,
soft spoken, hard working man. But
he had determination; so had Sui
livan to prove that when he said
the constitution wasn't worth a
damn that he knew what he was
talking about, so Sullivan kept
Chinn on bread and water for 80
days, and so today Chinn, by giving
up the struggle and finally dying
admits that Sullivan knew what he
was talking about.
Don't you wonder if Sullivan is
real proud and happy of his little
victory over S. o. Chinn?
Chinn doubtless was to blame for
his own death; he should have
given up his fight against the odds
he should have recognized that men
can be tortured to death in Spokane
regardless of law or common de-
cency, and he should have saved his
life. But, you see, Chinn was not
that sort of man; what he thought
was right meant everything in life
to him, and if it had taken twice 35
days Chinn would have been there
just the same.
Sullivan cant escape the moral
responsibility for this mans awful
death today by saying the man
could have given in and agreed not
to speak on the streets. The gov
eminent does not give its worst Of
tenders one-third the treatment Sui
Ivan gave this man, who was
guilty of no offense the law recog-
niZes, and when Sullivan transcend
ed the bounds of civilized brutality
200 per cent he did so on his own
responsibility.

LEGALITY is GRAVE
QUESTION

justice for the city, with two trunk
systems knocking at SpOkane's
doors, will not come again SOON Ter
minal rates would mean more than
the coming of half dozen new rail
ways, it is asserted, and the posi-
ton of standing pat, even to the
point of losing the roads, is urged.
Sam Berry-Now is the time to
insist on terminal rates; we cannot
well do this after the roads are in,
We stand with the city council,
even TO the extent of losing the
roads-but | think there is no dan
ger of that.
M. D. Hall, manager of the Grote
Rankin Co.-The way to secure per
manent relief in railway rates is
through national legislation. We
need all the railroads we can get
and | do not think that it is just to
insist on one or two roads being
barred because of the conduct of
the older lines. In times of business
depression the railroad pay rolls
go on. We need all the industries
we can get. and in this line the rail
road is one of the steadiest employ
ers in the country. Railroads must
run, when other industries shut
down.
C. j. Kemp of Kemp G. Hebert-
While not having given much study
to the question of terminal rates, |
believe in unfolding the action of
the city council. If we can but get
terminal rates it will mean more to
Spokane than all the railroads, we
can bring to this city. FL
o. D. CoughIin, manaaer5 OF 1.-The

Gently ! was given a forcible Illus
tration of the inequalities of rail
road rates. When you place your
money on the railroad counter to
buy a passenger ticket the rate to
Spokane is less than Tacoma or Sc
attic. 1t is based on the actual dis
lance travelled. Yet when we tender
shipment of dry goods to our
houses at Spokane and Tacoma, we
are asked to pay $1.35 more per
hundred for the shipment to Spo-
kane than to Tacoma. Yet. with all
this. the question arises. can We get
lower rates by insisting on the ter
minal rate clause? If thought we
could. l would favor a delay or one,
two or three months in acting on
the franchise. But | fear that the
plan is a new and rather drastic
method of trying to secure the de-
sired results. and I see no hope of
terminal rates from this source.
Hence | am in favor of admitting
the Milwaukee and the North Coast.

LOW VALUE FOR

JURY GIVES WIDOW AND Chill.
DREN $1250-DEAD MAN
PARTLY AT FAULT.

Mrs. Ora eraser and children
were awarded $3.50 by a jury in
Judge Hinkle's court this morning
against John Munich, for the death
of their husband and father in a
foundation cave-in on July 20, 1909
The suit was instituted for
$4,000 but the jury found that the
deceased was partly responsible for
the accident through his own negli-
gence, holding the Munchs respon-
sible to the amount of $3.50 for
their failure to guard against acct
dents.
Henry Munich was laying flooring
on the foundation of house under
construction when the north end
of the foundation wall caved IN,
crushing him to death.

Plan Up To
COUNCIL

Mayor Pratt has transmitted to
the city council the report Of the
charter revision committee, with
the recommendation that a special
election be called for the choice of
IS freeholders to draft an official
charter.
The mayor reaffirms his belief
in the commission plan of govern
ment, but has nothing to say as to
the character of the charter drafted
by the committee, beyond the state
ment that the committee had
worked faithfully and given months
of consideration to the proposition.
The charter proper covers 80
typewriter pages, and has IS ar
ticles. There are seven pages of
letter to the mayor and eight pages
of exhibits" making the whole doc
ument. with the mayors letter, con-
tain AZ typewriter pages,
1t is not expected that the city
council will break it's neck calling
the special election.

TRIED To END
LIFE UNDER
TAFT'S CAR
AGED WOMAN THROWS HER.
SELF BEFORE WHEELS OF
PRESIDENTS AUTO.
(By United Press Leased Wire)

10y United Press Leased Wire)
CHICAGO, March 17.--An aged
and infirm woman tried to dash
herself under the wheels of Presi-
dent Taft's automobile here today.
She was rescued by daring police
man, who snatched her from the
path of the moving machine and
bore her to safety. Only the fact
that the machine was moving
rather slowly prevented tragedy
that would have married the GEE
braton of St. Patrick's day, which
Taft came here from Washington
to attend.
The woman. whose name has not
been made public, made two at
tempts to kill herself She broke
through the police lines, shortly be-
fore the presidents machine had
halted. At that time she was seized
by several men and carried back to
the crowd. Later, on Chicago ave
nue., she made her way through the
lines, evaded the police and threw
herself prone before the oncOming
car in which the president was
seated.
The incident was only one phase
of a strenuous day for the presi-
dent. He alighted from his private
car at s o'clock this morning. He
was welcomed by the Irish Fellow
ship club and the Seventh regiment
Illinois national guard, composed of
Ireland's sons.
The presidents program this af
ternoon included conservation
mass meeting which had been
called to endorse his policies, and
receptions at various clubs from
o'clock to 6. In the evening he
