OPEN FIGHT
FOR CLERK

In order to be candid with his
chief, Otto Blenner, deputy in the
office of County Clerk Cal Atkin-
son. yesterday informed the head of
the office that he intended to make
the race for the nomination for
county clerk, and rendered his res
ignatiOn to take effect July I. At
kinson accepted the resignation, to
take effect forthwith, and let out
Blenner on the ground that he had
been disloyal because he exercised
the right of freeman to make the
race for the office.
Blenner is one of the most COM
petent and hard working deputies
in the office. He is prominent in
the Eagles and has a host of
friends. In view OF some things
that have transpired in the clerk s
office in the last year it is believed
that the race for county clerk will
be an open fight. T. d. Gamble, eX-
| chief deputy in the city treasurer
| office, is also a candidate.

CREMAT0RY

NEW SCANDAL SPRINGS UP IN
THE cREMAToRY DE.
PARTMENT.

There is more trouble brewing in
the crematOry department Super
intendent d. c. Harmon no sooner
has one thing settled than up
springs something else. Now it is
claimr~ that his men have been
knocking down" right under his
nose and that Harmon never woke
up to the fact until a number of
complaints came in through his col
lectors that the city was not getting
the money it should receive. If
this report is true it may account
for some of the deficits that have
shown in the earnings of the crema-
tory department in some months of
the past year.
Harmon has not yet lined up
Davenport restaurant or the Hotel
Spokane, in conformity with the
city ordinances governing the crem-
atOry. These institutions seem to
be immune against the operation of
the crematory laws.
There is no record that Superin-
tendent Harmon has returned the
balance of the horse feed belonging
to the city that was left on his
hands after the board of public
works ordered the feeding of his
private driving horse at public ex-
pense cut off.

CHIEF SULLIVAN AND OTHER
MORALISTS GET BUSY
AFTER A FASHION.

Mayor Pratt's moral welfare
committee is hard at work. One
OF the active moralists on the com

ing the public what a fine police

1t is a sort of mutual admiration

in which the chief thing developed
so far is that there is a lot of
spooning going on under cover of
the city park and that few more
incandescent lamps are neededs to
cut out this vicious practice This
terrible condition was brought to
Hight in a report filed by the com
mission with the mayor last night.
In view of the large amount of
real meanness going on every day
around the police station and the
city hall and over the city gener-
ally that the police seem unable to
discover. it is fine to learn that the
moral welfare committee has &C
tually discovered that there is some
spooning in the parks. Possibly a
detail OF Chief Sulliyan's plain

CHARGES WORRY
SHERIFF MAG
PUGH
GOOD NATIONS SHOWN TO BE
SADLY NEEDED At THE
COUNTY JAIL.

Sheriff NICK. Pugh is candidate
for denomination before the primar-
les. Certain things have been pub
lished in the way of affidavits
charging immortality to some of his
deputies in their relation to the
women prisoners that is bothering
the sheriff somewhat.
Two such affidavits have been
published, one by Mable Smith and
the other by ]. H. Elliott, but no de-
NAL has gone forth from the sher-
ifs office. 1t is known that some
of the sheriff's deputies sought out
one of the women supposed to be
connected with some of the alleged
misconduct within the county Jail
and solicited her to give an affi-
davit denying the charges of j. II.
Elliott. The woman refused to give
the affidavit and said that instead
she would show up county Jail con-
ditions in bad light when she got
ready to tell all that she knew.
The names of other witnesses as
to alleged orgies within the walls of
the county Jail have been given and
it is probable that conditions will
be shown to have existed in recent
months within the county Jail that
are as bad, if not worse, than have
prevailed within the city Jail. All
of this will be published in due
time, so that the people may know
what has been going on there.
The late grand jury recommended
that matrons be employed at the
county jail Thus far the county
commissioners have placed no mat
rons there. There is need of the
care of women prisoners by women
at the county Jail fully as much as
at the city Jail and the commission
ers should see that women are
given the protection there that un-
der the law they are entitled to.
