ment of this city or any other city
will be laid bare. Yet Glider is
still on the force, through the good
graces of Long John Sullivan.
In order to better guard his in
terests, Chief Sullivan has assigned
Glider to a downtown beat. A pri-
vate detective has also been de-
tailed on the case and was on guard
this morning to aid Sullivan and
Glider in keeping the further de-
tails of the Elliott case under
cover.
Two witnesses will swear that
Glider and Rosie Elliott were seen
together at lodging house on East
Sprague avenue in the last two
weeks, and that one of these visits
was made while Mayor Pratt's in
vestigating committee was in ses-
sion.
Chief Sullivan is evidently bound
that he shall stand or fall on the
facts in the Elliott case. When the
fall does come it will be hard one,
and the full weight will strike Sui
livan, the protector of men of the
stripe of Glider and Hood.
The Grand Army men who have
taken up the demand for a COM
plete investigation of this case may
appeal to the city council for an
investigation by that body, at its
next meeting. If the appeal is
made it will be to appoint a COM
mittee of councilmen and citizens
to go to the bottom of the Elliott
case, and if the findings are
against the police the council will
then be asked to take action and
clean out the whole gang involved
in the scandal.
1t seems that every group OF Off
Gals charged with the enforcement
of the laws in Spokane, from the
coroner down to the police force,
have gone into the combine to beat
Justice in the Elliott case. But
the people will be given the whole
truth through the columns OF The
Press whether there is an investl-
CATION or not, and then there will
be day of reckoning for some OF
the weakened officials now hold
ing high places in Spokane city and
county.

BUILDING PERMITS
SWELLING RAPIDLY

At the building inspectors office
at the city hall there is hope that
the present month will help to
make up some Of the deficit in the
building totals for the first four
months of 1910. The figures show
that there has been a falling off in
the number of building permits for
<he first four months of this year
as compared with last year of 244,
or over 20 per cent of the total
thus far issued in 1910. The de-
crease in value of new building
started is s572,121, or nearly 20
per cent.
Already a number of big Jobs
have come that will swell the May
total, among the items being the
Spokane club, which will cost $780,
600 to 100000, for which a permit
has not yet been issued, and the
E. H. Stanton & Co. buildings, cost
ing nearly $4,000.
One thing that reacts against the
total of the building permits is
the graduated fee, introduced last
November. Prior to that time
