Numrous questions have recently
been asked as to the reason for the
delay in the mayors office in re-
ferring to the city council the work

calling of an election for the choice
of Is freeholders to frame an Of
fetal charter.
1t is said thatthe mayor will refer
the matter to the city council at its
meeting tomorrow night, with a re-
quest that a date for an election of

1t is understood that a majority
of the city council is hostile to the
commission plan, but no step will
be taken until the council is given
an opportunity to go on record.

FINLAY'S LETTER TO MAYOR

To the Honorable Mayor of the
City of Spokane, Wash: I am de-
sired by the husband Of the lady
who called attention to the condi-
tions obtaining in the prison, and
also by other ladies of the Woman's
club. to state that it is contrary to
the dignity Of Justice and improper
for them to be called upon to give
certain testimony obtained from one
or two unfortunate women who had
the misfortune to be thrown into
prison on certain charges which
sometimes have to be brought be-
fore a magistrate. In such cases the
courts exclude the public sometimes
and all women exceDt the accused.
You cannot expect the husbands of
these honorable ladies', who went
and complained about certain acts
of the police force, to go into an
open courtroom and enter into the
details of such matters. The par
ties will be willing to see you pri-
vately as to what is the best pro-
cedure. and prehaps it may be best
to call a grand jury. We would like
to know whether the last grand jury
recommended the retirement of two
certain policemen at their last in
quiry, and if so, whether these po-
licemen have been removed from
the force and what are the names
of these officers. We also wish to
be informed as to the size and use
and purpose of the city sweat box
or Dungeon at present in the Jail,
and If it is true that 26 men were
put into that dark cell for So hours,
as testified to in the superior court
AS members of the council came to
the writer of this letter and signi-
fled their approval of my speech for
a clean Jail and humane and just
conduct by the police toward all
prisoners, whether foreigners or
Americans. desire to say that I am
in this instance proud to support
the council and mayor of our good
city. and feel confident that justice
will be done in the end. Yours very
truly, James Finlay.

CASH BASIS
FOR COUNTY
SOON

BY April Spokane county will
be run upon cash basis, for the
first time in 20 years. Between now
and the first Of the month Treas
urer Zach Stewart will call in ap-
proximateiy 100000 worth Of
county warrants, which are drawing
six per cent interest, or $4,000 per
year, which will mean q saving to
the county Of at least $4,000 yearly.
The economy of the county COM
missioners and other county Off
Gals in the past year has enabled
Treasurer Stewart to put into exc
cution scheme which he has been
planning for many months.
Our surplus amounts to about
$4,000, for which the banks pay
the county two per cent interest.
By calling in the 100000 outstand-
ing warrants, the county will be
saved almost $4,000 per year, the
difference between the six per cent
paid the warrant holders and the
two per cent the banks pay the
county.
II will be overdra~ing when
pay off the entire amount of the
outstanding warrants, but with the
money coming in. Immediately
thereafter feel certain that we
shall have enough to run the
county"
BY eliminating the big item of in
terest on outstanding warrants,
there will be between $4,000 and
$4,000 more available for current
expenses, which will at once cut
off the revenue derived by warrant
purchasers, with the increase of
available money sufficient to guard
against deficits.

ing the following inscription in the
corner:
"Non Gittatem, Liggendomi. Petro

The boys at the crematory de-
partment are trying to construe this
as possibly some sort c: "black
hand" warning for Superintendent
Harmon. That functionary cannot
read Latin very well and is going to
have the inscription interpreted.
The inscription has been pinned
above the desk Of Bookkeeper MUIR

seen at the Spokane this season,
which speaks volumes for the play
and players.
Although the first presentation
was delayed for over half an hour
by late trains, the large audience
forgot the lateness of the hour, and
when Carolyn Elberts ably respond
ed to the extremely dramatic eli
max to the third act the applause
was as spontaneous and prolonged
as greeted the stars when the
drama was produced in 1908.
