books, magazines, papers and news of

His visits are looked forward to by
the lighthouse keepers and the light

more than once during the season.
He maintains a small circulating Ii

also carries with him monograph

ceipt of a dispatch from Chicago
stating that dispatch had been re-
ceived from Jack johnson in which
the negro is alleged to have said he
was afraid the big fight might be
stopped on account Of the death Of
Tommy Mccarthy, Jack Gleason de-
nounced the message as fake.
You can rest assured that John

said, "as he knows as we'll as | do
that nothing but an extra session of

show how confident we are that
there will be no interference, we

lihood of the fight being stopped,
we would be foolish to risk an addi-

promotion of this contest now
stands us about 100000, but we
know that it is safe and are going
right ahead with our plans.

LABOR DEMANDS A GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION
WANT AN

PROBE

A grand jury investigation Into
the affairs of the police depart
ment, city hall and county jail Is
demanded In a resolution passed
last night at regular meeting Of
the Spokane Sectional Central La.
Dor union, representing practically
every labor union in the city. The
resolution holds that sufficient
evidence has been produced re-
garding corruption in the police de-
partment and the city and county
jaiIs to warrant a complete investi-
cation by the grand jury.
In case such an investigation is
granted, nearly half hundred pub
lie officials will be hailed into the
limelight to explain various
charges that have been made. Not
only does the resolution demand
the grand jury investigation, but
it asks that Prosecuting Attorney
Fred G.. Pugh be set aside in such
investigation because of the fact
that his relatives have become in
volved in the muckrake and that
therefore he is an improper per-
son to engineer a grand jury probe
of affairs.
