GOVERNOR
MAY FORCE
STRIKE END

Governor Hay may take hand
In the fight between the switch
men and the railroads. II he does
IL will be because jobbers Of Spo-
Zane put the matter squarely up
to his excelency on his own in
vitation.
Recently the governor stated
that he would not interfere. in the
strike because the railroads said
that they were giving service, and
because he had received no COM
plant from shippers regarding de-
layed freight as result of the
strike.
1t comes to light now that i'm
mediately on learning the COVER
nor's statement the local jobbers
collected evidence and forwarded
it to Governor Hay, showing that
on account of the strike the job
bers of Spokane had lost 100000
because of poor terminal facilities,
and because they had been forced
to expend big sums unnecessarily
in drayage, as the railroads could
not speedily handle the freight cars
and as these cars were left far
from the usual freight centers of
the city.
This is the showing the COVER
nor said he had not received, and
the reason he gave for taking no
action in the conflict between the
switchmen and the railroad
companies.
The governor has power to act,
as has been recently shown in the
case of the governor of South Da-
kota, who forced settlement of
a strike problem between railroad
arrangements and the workers,
and the showing made by the Spo-
kane jobbers may result in Gov
ernor Hays taking the same ac-
ton as proved successful in the
middle west.

sives of all sorts presented a task
that would have given a good days
work to William Loeb and his for
mer staff at the White House.
Colonel Roosevelt will find it ut
tcrly impossible to answer the let
tcrs for the present, being mere
private citizen" with no corps of
secretaries.
Wherever he went today, Roose-
welt was the center Of interest, and
throngs of people who came here
to witness his arrival collected in
various public places in the hope
Of seeing the colonel and his fam.
lily.
An official announcement that
the RoOsevelts desired as much
privacy as possible was only par
tally needed. Thousands came
here for the express purpose of see
inc the Roosevelts, and they would
have been badly disappointed il
they had failed in their purpose.
1t is Roosevelt day in Khartoum
and the famous smiling counte
nance of the former president is
evident on all sides, thousands OF
pictures having been brought here
ard sold as souvenirs.
The Roosevelt pictures have be
come almost as common through
out Egypt as they were in America
du. ing the campaign of 1904.

SIMPSON OF SPOKANE,
TELLS OF MIXERS"

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, March
1.-THE government sprung a coup
today in the trial of John c. May
bray and his alleged associates in
the Maybray gang of swindIers on
trial here, when Howard Simpson,
a realty dealer and capitalist from
Spokane, WASH, was called to the
stand. Simpson took the stand to
tell how he originated the card in
dex system for keeping tab on the
"mikes" and mixers"
A "mike," it was explained,
meant one of the gangs dupes !;
and a tinker" was a member of the
gang.
Simpson, who freely confessed
that he was member of the swim
ding gang, is immune from arrest,
as the statute of limitations has ex-
pired since he quit the gang, four

AND THE DOLLAR CAME BACK.
HERE'S GOOD ONE ON CAPT. BURNS

When Chief of Police Sullivan
opened his mail this morning he
nearly tainted when he read:
Dear Chief: Here is the 81 that
my wife borrowed from you,
Respectfully, A. ]. Terpaning,
Newport, Wash"
The perspiration stood out on
the chiefs brow for this surely
was new one on him. Never in
all his career on the police force
had he ever heard of gag" like
this one. He had loaned no dol
lars to any one. Half dozen
wierd suspicious raced through his
troubled brain. He thought of
bribery and all sorts of things, but
finally came to the conclusion that
as the postal money order was
addressed to him and was valid,
as near as he could make out, at
least John r. was weather. by one
simolean than he had reckoned.
AS the morning wore away the
chief became so "tickeled' over
the prospect of the 20 cigars that
dollar was going to buy that he
called in Martin J. Burns, head of
the detective department. But this
was a fatal step for the chief for
Captain Burns lost no time in re.
calling an incident in which he
had loaned the dollar in question
to a woman who called at the sta
ton two years ago. Burns told
how the woman had come into the
station while her husband stood
outside. She told him that they
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-03-15

were on their way to Newport
from California. They had plenty
of money at home, but had gone
broken on the way. "My husband
hasn't the nerve to borrow this
way" she said, but I'm not going
without breakfast" Burns loaned
her a dollar and by so doing be-
came the laughing stock of the de-
partment for the next six weeks.
Jim Fitzharris remembered the
occasion and Burns called him In
to testify before the chief. Fitz
made a good witness for Burns
and "Bill" Smith, the police court
bailiff, also remembered, so the
chief coughed up the dollar and
Burns put it in his pocket.
But the best part of it all Is that
Burns borrowed the money to loan
to the woman and no one can re-
call who loaned it to Burns, so the
treats are on the captain today.
