.SWEDES WANT
SQUARE DEAL
Allege Discrimination in
Giving Out Jobs at
City Hall.

There has recently been a very
noticeable decrease in the number
of Oles, Olafs and Oscars on the
payrolls of the city, causing the
gentlemen of Morse extraction to
complain Of not getting fair
shake under the present admins
tration, which their votes placed in
office.
There was a time last summer,
previous to the change of water
commissioners, when Scandina-
vians were welcome about the exec
utive offices at the city hall. But
this is no more, and besides many
Scandinavians that were on the
city payrolls at that time or prior
thereto have fallen by the waystde.
This has caused some Scandina-
VANS to ask if the sign "Swedes
are not wanted" has been posted.
The Scandinavian organizations
have already taken official notice
of the condition and have set it
down in their big book where all
things are entered for the day Of

CAUGHT WITH
STOLEN HIDES

The months spent by Lester Ball
at the state reformatory, where he
was sent for burg arizing room in
the Lincoln hotel, about year ago,
seem to have been fruitless of re-
suits.
Yesterday morning he was ar
rested for a more serious Offense
by Detectives Hogan and McCloud.
Young Ball, who is about 20 years
of age, was in the act of delivering
about 500 worth of hides, which it
is alleged he had stolen from the
Stanton Packing Co., in the eastern
part of the city.
Ball has been stealing the hides
and storing them away in box car
near the packing establishment, ac-
cording to the charge, for a period
of about there weeks. The com
pany missed hides and reported the
matter to the authorities. Detec.
tives were placed on the case, with
the result that the youth was
rounded up with the goods in his
possession. He had hired an eX-
press wagon to bring the hides to
the city. Ball has been booked
upon the charge of grand larceny.

CAN'T SEE
BUTTERCUPS

asked Weather Observer Stew

the oldest inhabitant' had de-
creed that the backbone of the
winter is broken" and that an
early spring is at hand.
THE oldest inhabitant" may
be able to predict what the
weather for February will be,
but we cannot do this at the
weather office. 1t causes
wrinkles to form in our faces
trying to prognosticate things
correctly for 36 hours ahead.
Climatic conditions are SO
varied from year to year that it
is hard to tell what is in store
for us two weeks ahead.

dressing himself to the inquiry.
"but there Is no assurance that
we will not have a lot of bad

at liberty to state that do not

SCOTT NOT So
INNOCENT
Man Wounded by Officer
Said to be Engaged in
:" Unfair Game.

According to later developments,
1t seems that Robert r. Scott, the
young Seattle bartender who was
shot and slightly wounded by Of
ficer Thompson at the U. s. bar at
/ o'clock yesterday morning, is not
the innocent youth that one would
believe him to be, from the inter;
views given out by AIM yesterday
morning.
Those who saw the shooting say
that Scott and his two companions
were actively attempting to resist
the officer when the shot was fired.
1t appears that one of the trio, a
big follow, was about to make a
lunge at the officer at the time.
Chief of Police Sullivan stated
last night that Scott has admitted
that he was unfair in the game
with young Hammer, who>was un.
der the influence of liquor.
AS added evidence to the unwor.
thiness of SCOTS statement yes
terday morning that he had been
fair in the game and that he did
not know that it was an officer
who was attempting to arrest him
Captain of Detective Burns states
that the three, Scott, Dormey and
Erickson. had already divided the
spoils, $40, which they had gotten
from Hammer in an unfair game al
the Big V bar.
Scott was booked for running q
bunco game, d. A. Dormey is down
on the charge of state vagrancy
and Charles Erickson is slated fol
disorderly conduct.

WIRELESS CLUB
Of SPOKANE
IS BUSY
Boys of High School Send
Sporting News by Aerial
Circuit.

While the citizens of Spokane
have been absolutely ignorant and
innocent Of it, lot of wireless cur
rents have been spiriting by them,
fitting, jostIing, crowding by.
1t is all due to the fact that
about 25 of the youth of the city,
of high school age, imbued with the
city's spirit of progress, have or
ganiZed a wireless club. The ref
erence, of course. is to wireless
telegraphy. No one is trying to
dispute the Old theory that there
are wires to all clubs.
These enterprising boys have
constituted instruments at their
homes. They are sending each
other the latest dope on high school
athletics, the announcements OF
parties, etc, via wireless" The
boys construct their own instru-
ments, and install them. They
have been extremely successful in
the work, having succeeded in send
ing messages for five miles, &C
cording to statements of their
members.
The dign;fied name of their or
ganiZation is THE Wireless AssO-
citation of Spokane" They meet
each Friday night in room at the
southwest corner OF Sprague ave-
nue. and Lincoln street. Officers
have been elected, and in the near
future they are preparing to in
stall some apparatus.
The boys. most of whom are
members of the South Central high
school. are anxious to have all the
boys in the city who are interested
in wireless, to call at their head
quarters, and become associated
with them in the work.

(By United Press Leased Wire)

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Wheat was
in great demand from shorts today
who were well supplied by the
longs. Buying was so persistent,
however, that in face of selling of
several million bushels by holders,
whose profits were satisfactory, the
close was at an advance for the
day of &C in the May and rs q 1ac
in the July.
The wheat market opened very
strong at from &C to &c advance
The general tone of the early news
was of a kind to cause such
strength as occurred, and further
advance was only checked because
of the recent number OF buyers
who had handsome profits in their
purchases, and were willing at the
prices bid to supply the early de-
mand.
Before the buying got an effect
ual check the price of May got as
high as $111& Oils, and July
as high as $1,02A, May afterward
worked down to Sill, but returned
to $1.11h near the end and closed
with sellers at $l.11as @l11R. July
reached to 995s 0I99Ac. and there
were sellers at $l02 at the close.
Although weather was very
| favorable for movement OF corn
there was strong start to the
market under the influence of the
advance in wheat. There were
heavy realizing sales by longs and
the first gain and some more was
gradually Whitfield off.
Maintaining its recent attitude to
the other markets the strength of
oats at the opening closely CORE
sponded with that of wheat and
corn. This market followed the
course taken by corn, and at the
close was as weak as at the open
ing 1t had been strong. Heavy sell
ing by longs was the feature, lead
ers of the bull movement being
among the sellers.
| Desire to sell the hog products
received q wonderful impulse from
the action taken by the govern.
ment looking to the prosecution of
packers. Otherwise the trade was
still "up against small receipts OF
hogs and insufficient supply of
products. Local run of hogs for the
day was $4,000 and for the week
1000, against 100000 last year.

A Self.COnfeSsed MaIefactOr of
Great Wealth.

The only malefactor of great wealth
who frankly acknowledges the corn
and confesses that he has malefacted
is an out-of-the-ordinary story by
Bruce Barton in Human Life for
September.
This confession wasn't made on the
mourner's bench, by the way, or after
the doctor had told the man of mil
lions that he had but a few hours more
to live. The time and place were even
more unusual.
Here is a part of his confession and
his arraigment of other gilded male
factors "You are robbers too. The
only Offence between us is that ] know
l steal and you don't. / am going to
lead a better life and you are not l
don't mean that am going to quit
stealing I'm only half honest yet
but I'm going TO use my swag-I might
as well be plain about 1t, and swag' Is
what it is-I'm going to use it to break
up the system which has made 1t
possible for me to get it. John d..
Rockefeller is member of my gang,
a good, quiet little member, who
doesn't have any idea how big robber
he is. Pierpont Morgan is another.
The only trouble with them is that
their consciences need sandpapering,
or they need few more jolts in the
stock market, or something of that
kind to bring them to sense of their
iniquity. BY the time that | am
through with my crusade they will be
ashamed Of themselves. l intend to
destoy the conditions that produce us
robbeis-us millionaires.
This is no fairy tale, but perfectly
true happening, and the life story OF
how this man made his millions, what
has pricked his conscience, and hi:
conscience, and his plan for destroying
the system that makes such robbery o.
the public possible is one Of the mos
unique features of this issue.-Humar
