ANOTHER
PRINTING
HOLD Up

An order has just been issued by
the city of Spokane to the Cole
Printing Co. for the printing of a
pamphlet containing the annual re-
port of the board of health of Spo-
kane.
Including the four pages of COW
er there are SO pages in the book
and a conservative estimate places
its cost of production at 500 to
1925, yet the requisition for the re-
port has been issued for the sum
of $3.50. Six pages are blank and
four more pages have only from
one to Is lines to the page.
The question naturally arises,
how much of the cost of the book
went for the actual work of print
ing, and how much for other pur-
poses?
The Press had two printers fig
ure up the cost of the book. These
men are not actively engaged in
the job printing business, but fig
ured it from the standpoint of the
cost of production. One said that
the book can be produced for $50
and the other said that there would
be profit in the job at 500. Hence
The Press concluded that liberal
allowance void be $125, yet the tax
payers are asked to pay $3.50.
This was the price paid for the
printing of the report last year,
and it was taken as a criterion for
basing an estimate of the cost this
year. Last year the Century Press
took care of the job.
At the office of George w. Arm
strong, city commissioner, who is
sued the requisition for the work,
this afternoon it was stated that
the work had been held up pending
an investigation of it's cost. 1t is
claimed that bids were received
from four printing houses and that
they bid common price-$350.

CANNON WILL \
AGAIN Be N
CANDIDATE
(By United Press Leased ,Wire)

WASHINGTON, March A.
Joseph G. Cannon will be a candi-
date for speaker of the house in
the sixty-second congress despite
his recently reported statement to
Representative Mckinley that he
would withdraw to insure repub-
lican control of the next house.
This information was obtained to-
day from a source that makes its
authority unquestioned. 1t is also
reported that President Taft and
Postmaster General Hitchcock have
agreed to throw the administra-
tons influence behind the Cannon
forces.
Taft gave a dinner at the White
House last night at which Cannon
was the guest of honor. One of the
guests said today that the president
feels that the country will expert
ence a reaction by next fall and be
ready to repudiate the insurgents"
by voting a straight administra-
ton" ticket in the congressional
elections.

BEWARE OF THIS MAN.

If a man dressed in light over
coat and a stiff black hat calls at
your house with a subscription
blank, soliciting money for the aid
of a sick woman, supposed to be
at the Sacred Heart hospital, you
will do great service to the po-
lice by hanging on to him until
the patrol wagon arrives. Yester-
day this man called at house at
Fourth avenue and Browne street.
The woman to whom he talked was
impressed with his story. She
wanted to help the unfortunate
woman at the hospital, but instead
of giving money to the man with
the subscription blank she called
up the hospital and asked about the
patient. She. was informed that
there was no such case at the Sa'
cred Heart.

A large audience filed the Congre- gational church upon the occasion of the graduating exercises of the High School-the last to be given under the auspices of Miss Bennett. There were but five graduates, three girls and two boys. The church was decorated with many flowers, and there was a good musical program. The essays by the young graduates were listended to attentively, and for the most part they proved to be fresh, well consid- cred and interesting. Dr. Deane spoke of the country boy of years ago and the boy Of today, pointing out the diff ference in his environment. Then he had no automobile to take him to school: no telephone to call up his best girl; no flying machine and was without great many modern appli- ances for study and improvement. The modern boy wears a swallow tailed coat; attends evening functions, has the daily newspaper with all the prize fights and is on the lookout for some sort of business where he can quickly make a fortune. Dr. Deane admitted that these are strenuous times and he hardly knows what to expect in the future.

ROSA GETS TEN YEARS. Plea of Drunkenness Saves Shelton Murderer From the GaIIows.

In a decided victory for the defense Salvatore Rosa of Shelton, who was arrested for killing Raffaie1e Con- stantino, has been sentenced to not less than ten years in States prison after having been found guilty of manslaughter by the jury in the New Haven Superior court.
 Rosa's life was probably saved by the fact that the defense fought strongly against a murder mith mal- ice' theory, claiming that Rosa was under the influence of liquor at the time of the killing and did not know what he was doing.
 The verdict is an interesting one as it shows that man may not be held to full account when found to be un- der the influence of liquor.
