Member of Parliament Visits
California Properties
TSpeciol Di,totch TO The Call

PORTERVILLE, Oct. 11.-Robert
Balfour, member of parliament for
Lanarkshire, Eng. and heavily inter-
ested in lands here through the Bah
four Guthrie company, is on his annual
tour of inspection of his properties and
has said that if the proper showing can
be made to him capitalists with whom
he is in touch will finance the Holley
interurban railroad.
This road, for which surveys already
have been made, will be about SO miles
in length and will connect Porteryflle
with the foothills. Lindsay, Frazier val
lev and the dairy country to the west
Water power sites have already been
located on the upper Tule river, and it
is stated that 5000 electrical horse
power can be developed in each of two
plants. This power will be ample for
the purposes of the road for the first
two years at least.
Rights of way have been secured
west from Porterville through the
Woodville section and 1t is probable
that this will be the first leg of the
line to be constructed.

ST. PAUL. Oct. 17.-Formal steps in
taking to the United States supreme
court the suit brought by the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific, Burlington
and Union Pacific railroads against the
interstate commerce commission in re-
gard to rates on lumber from the Pa
cific coast, were taken this afternoon
before Jurge Sanborn of the United
States circuit court by Luther Walter
of Chicago, attorney for the interstate
commerce commission, and by Hale
Holden of Chicago, who represented the
railroads
The decision from which an appeal
was taken was rendered by Judges
Sanborn, Hook and Vandeventer.
In this decision the court upheld in
every particular the findings of F. w.
Dickson, the master in chancery, over
ruling all exceptions by either side.
This was, on the whole, a victory for
the railroads.

THE STORY OF A
GREAT FORTUNE WON
IN CRIMSON SHAME
Mrs. Bruno, Wife of Former Red.
light King Asks for a
Divorce.

The story Of big fortune won,
but of price paid in it's winning so
terrible that strong men must shud-
der who contemplate it, is revealed
in a divorce complaint and affidavit
filed in the Spokane county super
ior court this morning. Frank
Bruno accumulated $4,000 of the
worlds goods, but the eight inno-
cent children of Frank Bruno must
90 through this life bighted by the
crimson sins of their father, who
collected his gold through his own
degradation and infan'y, according
to the allegations Of the wife and
mother. To eight little ones,
marked since their birth by one Of
the foulest, most horrible scourges
Of mankind, their father will ever
be all that is repuIsive, degraded
and wicket, though he may have
collected more than his share of
this worlds goods.
Bruno is the notorious ex-dive
keeper of Spokane. Mrs. Philomena
Bruno was shot by man named Ro-
landi, April s, while on her way to
court to defend herself against a
statutory charge brought by her
husband. She is now asking the
courts to grant her an absolute de-
cree of divorce and she lays bare
the story of her life and that of her
husband in her complaint filed to-
day. She asks for $1,000 a month
alimony, $4,000 attorneys fees and
$500 suit money. alleging her hus-
bands fortune to be worth $150,000
in property here and at Pasco.
Married here in 1895, the Brunos
returned to Italy year ago, where,
1t is alleged by the woman, she and
the children, ranging from five
months to 13 years of age, were
abandoned by Bruno. Though able
to return to America herself on bor-
rowed money, Mrs. Bruno says four
of the children could not pass the
United States government immigra-
ton inspection-they had been af-
flicted since birth with a disease
transmitted to them by their father,
and must remain in Italy.
According to. the woman's COM
plant, she has fought ever since
her marriage to keep from the life
of shame her husband wished her to
lead for his profit. Bruno, as is
well known, took leases on consid-
cradle pronertv IN Snotarn which
he rented to public characters.

Of this city and community the first

on the great question: do you

equality with mem"
Presented herewith is a ballot
which our woman readers may fill
out, clip and return to the Suffrage
Editor, to be counted on election
day.
For the first time in Is years the
question of amending the constitu
ton to enable women to vote is up
to congress.
The National American Woman
Suffrage association presented to
congress April IS petition of
nearly a half million names which
demands that the national law max
ing body submit to the legislatures
of the several states an amendment
to the national constitution which
shall enable women to vote
Do the women of Spokane want
congress to pass such a resolution ?
Those who do will put a cross in
the space marked YES on the ac-
companying ballot: those who don't
will put a cross in the space labeled
NO.
For years we've discussed the
question. Now let's find out If the
women WANT to vote

Used to consider it and it is believed
that in two or three days definite
action toward the appointment of
the committee will be announced.
Revelations concerning police
conditions are showing daily the
need of thorough probe. The
facts in the Elliott case, as they
continue to strengthen by volunteer
witnesses and others that are COM
ing in daily, show that this is one
of the most glazing scandals that
has ever involved the police depart
ment.
II a citizens probe committee
should find police conditions any
thing like they are described by
lodging house women and those
who come in daily contact with the
police, it is probable that the mat
ter will be laid before the judges of
the supreme court with a demand
for grand jury action.
