FAMOUS. ELLIOTT CASE

Poor, weak, de'uded Rose Elliott,
victim of police infamy, on the wit
ness stand today in Mayor Pratt's
investigation into the record of
former Acting Chief of Police Sulli-
van, testified that she committed
perjury when she swore to the affi-
davit that she was induced to sign
by the prosecuting attorneys office
in answer to the original story of
the Elliott case in The Press.
She swore that the prosecuting
attorney had called her to his Of
flee, and asked her to make an af,
fidavit in answer to the affidavits
of her father and mother in The
Press. She at first refused, and
after persuasion consented to make
the perjured affidavit, used to de-
fend Acting Chief Sullivan, and to
tear down the character of old man

appealing therefrom, and by CIV
ing up the office.
Under this state of facts, with
these charges still before the coun-
Gil, although we have not been IL
formed by your letter, or at all, it
has been stated in the public press
that the mayor has caused a copy
of the charges, on his own motion,
to be filed with the board of police
commissioners. There was no con-
sultation by the mayor with Mr.. Ell
lott, or his counsel, and this hear
ing being noticed for the council
chamber, we are at loss to know
in what manner Mr.. Elliott, or his
attorneys, can, without authority,
be summoned to such hearing.
when John r. Sullivan began to
act, under the illegal appointment
of Mayor Pratt, as acting chief of
police he ceased to discharNe the
duties of captain of police, and
these charges, relating to this per-
iod of his acting in official capacity,
makes the council the proper tri-
bunal. Mr.. Elliott not having au-
thorized the filing or bringing of
these charges, except before the
city council, or being willing to rat
ify or adopt the act of any person in
seeking to prosecute these charges,
at any other or different place or
before any other or different body,
we, on his behalf, inform you that
we will not appear and prosecute
these charges elsewhere while
pending before the city council; to
do so would be improper.
IF your office will cooperate in
presenting these matters to the city
council, and await the disposition
by that body of the charges, We are
authorized to inform you, on behalf
of Mr.. Elliott, that he stands ready
to assist in any way in presenting
the facts upon which he based the
charges to the said city council, to
the end that they may act as their
wisdom directs, and We trust that
all branches of the city government,
at such time, will cooperate to the
end that the facts may be under
stood and justice DONE"

SUSPICIOUS OF
RECALL BLANKS

TACOMA. Oct. 25.-When 1t be.
came known today that Mayor Faw-
cett had ordered the printing of a
supply of recall blanks considerable
speculation was INDUCED in as tn
the probable use to which they are
intended. While the city charter
provides that the city clerk shall
keep on hand supply of such
blanks, the mayors action is looked
upon as being significant because
of recent criticism Of the official
acts OF Commissioner of Safety l..
e. Roys and the belief appears to be
general today that the question of
Roys' removal from office will be
voted upon by the people of Ia
coma.
Commissioner Roys is charged
with responsibility for the re-estab-
fishing of a restricted district and
for the increase in the city's- ex-
penseS.

FIRE CHIEF MAY
HAVE TO PAY HIS
OWN EXPENSES

Just because the city of Spokane
sends representatives to the con-
ventiOns of the fire chiefs and cleo
trical inspectors of the nation, is
no reason that teh expense should
be borne by the taxpayers, accord
ing to the decision of the finance
committee of the city council at it's
meeting yesterday, when expense
accounts of Fire Chief A. H. Myers
and Electrical Inspector w. A.
Davis were held up pending filing
of statements by these two Off
Gals, showing where the city re-
ceived any benefit from the trips
recently made by these gentlemen
to the annual convention of fire
chiefs and the national electrical
inspectors meeting, respectively.
Unless Myers and Davis can show
this benefit, they will have to pay
their own expenses, according to
the committee.

WHY WILL

say right now that l am a firm ad-
vocate of the whipping post-but
in every case the woman comes to
me pleading-even though she has
caused her husbands arrest-that
he be released and forgiven in or
der that he may have one more
chance.
"There is nothing on earth
more noble and unselfish than a
woman's love, and nothing nearer
to the sacredness Of heaven than
the pure minded affection of good
woman for her mate and her chill
dren.
Il have seen them with their
faces marked and SCARED from
brutal beatings received at the
hands of the man they have loved
and married. have seen wives
left alone and deserted with fam
lilies of small children on their
hands. l have had wives come to
me with tales of their husbands
drunkenness and unfaithfulness,
and l have had them tell me tales
which fairly made my blood run
cold. But of all the lot l have
never had one woman, who, when
her husband was actually brought
to the bar of justice, failed to plead
that he be given just one more
chance.
Truly, a woman's love is the
most wonderful and most beautiful
thing on earth. AS the good book
