AWAIT MAYORS
ACTION

Numrous questions have recently
been asked as to the reason for the
delay in the mayors office in re-
ferring to the city council the work
of the charter revision commission.
The city council can then say
whether or not it is willing to take
the next step in the matter--the
calling of an election for the choice
of IS freeholders to frame an Of
fetal charter.
1t is said thatthe mayor will refer
the matter to the city council at its
meeting tomorrow night, with re-
quest that a date for an election of
Is freeholders be set.
It is understood that a majority
of the city council is hostile to the
commission plan, but no step will
be taken until the council is given
an opportunity to go on record.

RICH MEN WANT
STREETS SHUT

Jay P. Graves, A. l.. White and
c. M. Delameter today filed a petit
ton with the city clerk asking for
the vacation of a portion of four
streets in Houghton & Callahan's
addition in order to permit the
petitioners to assemble into one
body of land eight blocks of that
addition.
This Is the ground on which
Graves & White expect to make
elaborate improvements, costing
jointly, 1t is said, 100000. They
say that the improvements contem-
plated can not be made if the land
is subdivided, as at present.
The streets to be vacated are
Eittsburg from Southeast Boule-
ward to Nineteenth avenue, Nine
teenth avenue for $50 fette east of
Fittsburg, Twentith avenue from
Madelia to Martin and Madelia
street from Twentith to twenty

BASIS
FOR COUNTY
SOON

BY April I Spokane county will
be run upon 4 cash basis, for the
first time In 20 years. Between now
and the first Of the month Treas
urer Zach Stewart will call in ap-
proximateiy 5000, 900 worth Of
county warrants, which are drawing
six per cent interest, or $4,000 per
year, which will mean . saving to
the county Of at least $1,000 yearly.
The economy of the county COM
missioners and other county off,
cials in the past year has enabled
Treasurer Stewart to put into exc
cution a scheme which he has been
planning for many months.
Our surplus amounts to about
$4,000, for which the banks pay
the county two per cent interest
BY calling in the 100000 outstand-
ing warrants, the county will be
saved almost $4,000 per year. the
difference between the six per cent
paid the warrant holders and the
two per cent the banks pay the
county.
II will be overdrawing when I
pay off the entire amount of the
outstanding warrants, but with the
money coming in. Immediately
thereafter feel certain that we
shall have enough to run the
county"
BY eliminating the big item of in
terest on outstanding warrants,
there will be between $4,000 and
$4,000 more available for current
expenses, which will at once cut
off the revenue derived by warrant
purchasers, with the increase of
available money sufficient to guard
against deficits.

IT'S THE TONE

/ The tone of a piano Is what in
terests you.
You can't always see every point
In its construction nor tell how
durable IL may be. but you can
hear the tone, and when you hear
the tone of a Chickering you im-
mediately fall in love with It.
What is it that makes the Chick
ering tone superior to the tone Of
other pianos? That Is the secret
of Chickering construction, ac-
quired by eighty-six years Of expert
ence; it is the genius of Jonas
Chickering, founder of the Amer
;csn piano industry.
If other makers knew this secret
they could then initiate the Chick
ering tone and construction. To
hear the Chickering and to know
that it last a lifetime Is enough.
Come in and inspect our line.
We are exclusive northwest dis
tributes, and no other dealer can
tell you of their fine points.

FINLAY'S LETTER TO MAYOR


To the Honorable Mayor of the
City of Spokane. Wash: I am de-
sired by the husband of the lady
who called attention to the condi-
tions obtaining in the prison, and
also by other ladies of the Woman's
club. to state that it is contrary to
the dignity of Justice and Improper
for them to be called upon to give
certain testimony obtained from one
or two unfortunate women who had
the misfortune to be thrown into
prison on certain charges which
sometimes have to be brought be-
fore a magistrate. In such cases the
courts exclude the public sometimes
and all women except the accused.
You cannot expect the husbands of
these honorable ladies, who went
and complained about certain acts
of the police force, to go into an
open courtroom and enter into the
details of such matters. The par
ties will be willing to see you pri-
vately as to what is the best pro.
cedure, and prehaps 1t may be best
to call a grand jury. We would like
to know whether the last grand jury
recommended the retirement of two
certain policemen at their last in
quiry, and if so. whether these po-
licemen have been removed from
the force and what are the names
of these officers. We also wish to
be informed as to the size and use
and purpose of the city sweat box
or Dungeon at present in the Jail,
and If it is true that 26 men were
put into that dark cell for So hours,
as testified to in the superior court.
AS members of the council came to
the writer of this letter and signi-
fled their approval of my speech for
a clean Jail and humane and just
conduct by the police toward all
prisoners, whether foreigners or
Americans. desire to say that I am
in this instance proud to support
the council and mayor of our good
city. and feel confident that justice
will be done in the end. Yours very
truly, James Finlay.
