COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 13.-Fol-
lowing the wounding OF two women
and a little girl in rioting here
when the police refused to protect
street cars operated by strike
breakers, it is probable today that
soldiers recently withdrawn from
Columbus will be recalled. Forty
policemen on special duty refused
to protect the strike breakers, and
it is expected they will be dis
missed.
Disorders which have been
threatened for several days broke
out last night. John F. Brady, a
strike breaker, is alleged to have
shot and wounded Mrs. Katherine
Kelly, her daughter, Helen, and
Mrs. Charles Hart. The women
and child were standing at a cor
ner when it is alleged Brady drove
up in an automobile and ordered
the women to move on. They COM
piled. haunting Brady and calling
him a "scab." Brady fired, then
covering the chauffeur with his re-
volver, ordered him to drive away
and escaped.
Several cars were damaged by
explosives and others were stoned.
A conference will be held today
to decide whether the troops shall
be recalled.

concrete wall plan and ordered the
work to so ahead.
John T. Huetter and the Fife
Brothers are friends OF the admin
istration. Huetter has a contract
that he wants to get rid of; the
Fife Brothers have a plan that they
would like to see adopted, and the
order given them to build the
work.
1t is said that the mud-fill reser-
voir can be built for $4,000. The
present solid plan is cotsing $780,
600. If the mud-fill type is deemed
the improper kind for Spokane soil
and unsafe, it would be dear at any
cost. As a matter of fact, it was
stated on good authority a year ago
that the mud fill type of reservoir
that was sought to be unloaded on
the city at $4,000 TO 100000 a
year ago can be built for around
100000.
The difference means a fat rake
off for some one if the plan should
be adopted and the estimate price
paid.
Councilman Lambert, chairman
of the committee appointed by the
city council on the reservoir mat
ter last night, said today:
1.-THE mud fill reservoir will new
er be adopted with my vote. W.
settled this question year ago
The board of public works no"
wants to release it's friend Huetter
and bring a new horse into thu
race. don't think the council vii
tolerate any more juggling in tht
plans of the water extensions
which should have been completed

Collins the police believe they
made an important capture
early this morning that may
lead to the uncovering OF the

Collins, accompanied by a Jap
anese and Chnaman, in a
lane off Hastings street. When
he advanced toward them they
started to run and the officer
fired several shots in the air as
signal to heave to. The trio
accelerated their speed, but an
other officer. attracted by the
firing, was waiting at the end
of the lane. He managed to
grab the white man and the
Japanese.
