DAMAGE SUIT AGAINST
HERCULES MINE IS
SETTLED

A compromise that was in every
way satisfactory to the plaintiff
was arrived at in the big $4,000
damage suit of Dan Cameron
against Harry Day and others in
terested in the Hercules mine, this
morning in Judge Huneke's depart
ment of the superior court. The
attorneys declined to enter the ne
gotiations upon the records and
made the announcement that the
terms of the compromise would be
kept absolutely a private matter.
The only feature of the compro-
mise that was made public was
that aside from the financial con-
sideration the plaintiff shall receive
the very best medical attention
possible
Cameron was injured while rid
ing through the mine in a car by
the falling of the overhead beams,
rendering him a paralytic.

''PRETTY POLL HAS
ANNUITY FOR LIFE;
AND THE DOGS, TOO

LONDON, April 14.-Though his
Mistress is dead, Mrs. Ada Britain
MIA Peters cockatoo will never
have to go without sugar and
other little necessities.
For in her will Mrs. Peters, who
lived at The Grange, Kilburn, and
whose estate was valued for pro-
bate at 92l,924, made ample pro-
vision for pensioning off her
feathered pet.
To provide for his maintenance
and for that of her fox terrier
Rosie, she gave directions that 6
per week should be paid to her
servant, Nellie Edmonds, so long
as either the bird or the dog sur
vived.
Similar care was taken to pro-
vide for her dog Nellie, who will,
without doubt, be most carefully
guarded and protected for, as long
as she lives. Mrs. Peters coach
man, Henry Brown, is to receive
E1 a week to provide Nellie with
home and maintenance-which
latter item probably inclues bones.
Cockatoos have reached very
great ages. Centenarians are
more common among them than
among humans, and it would be in
teresting to know for what sum
an insurance company would pay
the CuckatOo annuity.
There can be little doubt that
the annuity will have to be cal
culated on the probable life Of the
cockatoo, not on that of the dog.
Among Mrs. Peters other be-
quests were $1,000 to the S. p. c.
A. and G100 each to the National
Canine Defense league and the
Anti-Viyisection hospital.

SUMMIT.

BUTTE, Mont. April 14.-Ed-
ward Barrill, who accompanied DR..
Frederick A. Cook on his Mount
Mckinley expedition, and who re-
Gently signed an affidavit in which
he declared Cook never reached
the summit, said today that in his
opinion the Lloyd party did not
scale Mount Mckinley, as is
claimed.
Barrill said that he believes that
it would be impossible to reach the
top of the mountain, especially at
this period of the year, on account
of the snow and ice.
The Fairbanks expedition, which
has just returned. claims that no
traces of any of Cooks camps were
found on the mountain or in the
vicinity.
Barrill asserts that this report
indicates that the expedition was
unsuccessful, as Cook established
several camps on the mountain on
the direct route to the top.

CAN MAN MAKE

HONESTLY?

CHICAGO. April l4-Can a man,
starting in business at the bottom
of the ladder, make a million dol
lars honestly during the compass
of his life my merely buying mer-
chandise and selling it at a profit?
Francis 7. Simmons, himself rat
ed close to a million, stirred up a
hornets nest here when he de-
clared emphatically that to make a
million honestly in such a way is
impossible. Simmons remarks
were uttered before the Student
Commercial club of the University
of Chicago. His mail was flooded
today with letters from rich men
who endeavored to prove to him
that he is wrong.
What | said" declared Simmons
today, was that no man starting
on the savings of his salary and
going into the buying and selling
of merchandise at a profit can
make a million in his life time and
do it honestly at that business
alone. Such merchant might
possibly show up profit of $780,
600, but when he gets to the 81 ,000,-
600 mark, you begin to suspect
him. He hasn't been straight"

facts disprove this assertion.
Sullivan's story of how the old
man was arrested differs widely
from that of J. II. Elliott and wife.
Sullivan is trying to shield the men
under him and the use of the police
court to railroad an innocent man
to the county Jail to permit the in
stallation of his daughter in a room
by two officers of the Spokane po-
lice force.
The crime is so VIGOROUSLY bad
and the defense so weak that it is
clear the police department is try
ing to bolster up a losing cause.
