A few weeks ago it looked as If we
would have no trouble at all in this

but not by the methods recently en-

better than expected, but there is no
use in trying to initiate the fact into
an unprecedented bumper yield in all
products. The manipulation is large

One Of the mcst daring crimes
that has been committed in Spo-
kane for several months, it is be-
lieved, was successfully perpetrated
last night, when burglars ransacked
the Farmers Trading store, E728
Sprasue avenue, and after Iooting
the store, set fire to it. a
Box 80 rang in at o'clock this
morning and the fire department re-
sponded. A mysterious pool of
blood. not yet dry, was found di-
rectly across the street from the
burning store and on the blood.
stained walk were found several ar
ticles which had been. stolen and
apparently dropped as the rObber
hurriedly made good his escape. An
investigation failed to prove any
thing as to the identity of the bur-
glars or the direction they had fol-
lowed after leaving the store.
Little credit is given the assump-
ton that malice was the cause of
burglary, although it is only sur
missed that the robbers set fire to
the store in order to cover up any
clues left by them in ransacking
the place. 1t is thought that they
may have hoped to cover up any
suspicion of burglary.
The store is conducted by A. f.
Houchins and is located in a one
story brick building. The loss done
bv fire will amount to nearly $1,000.
The police have refused to discuss
the case. but no arrests have been
made in connection with it.

There has been no backing up on
the part of Attorney James Finley
because of the criticism that has
been hurled in his direction on his
sneech at the city council Wednes-
day night on Spokane Jail condi-
tions. Finley renews his charges
in a written communication, in
which he says I'm part:

Doubtless Mayor Pratt means
we'll when he says that the sessions
of the Jail investigating committee
are to be public, where everybody
can hear everything. But it Mayor
Pratt believes that is the way to
get at the truth of conditions in the
jail under his office he is most sadly
mistaken.
Mayor Pratt could no more surely
make it certain that the investiga-
tion would amount to nothing than
to have public hearing. where the
police could learn in advance the
names of the witnesses against
them and where the witnesses were
certain to be put on record for ful
ture police attention
The major portion of the evidence
will be from those who have been
in jail. and only the utmost secrecy
for the protection of these wit
nesses will prevent them being
either run out of town or intimi-
dated by the police. Not one wit
ness in 10 will appear in public that
would in private. There are women
in this town who know things of ut
most Importance to this committee
but these women will not anpear in
public and tell their story; the very
thought of it would cause them to
leave town.
No. a public investigation is the
last thing the public wants. IL II
cares for the truth about the Jail,
and it is the first thing the police
want.
1t is not necessary for this COM
mittee to do more than investigate
secretly and honestly. and then to
report. 1t does not need to give the
public its evidence. in justice to it's
own work it cannot do so or 1t will
lose the most valuable part of its
testimony. This committee is COM
posed of three honest men: the pub
lie will take the word of the com
mittee as will the mayor and the
council. If this committee says It
found conditions bad, and that GER
tain men are responsible. the pub
lie will take its word for it without
bothering with the dirty details. but
this committee. if it has to work in
full view of the police. will find
but little bad in the entire situation.
Anybody that ever had to do with
police investigation or even a
grand Jury session, knows the truth
of the above; probably Mayor Pratt.

merely the truth and the best re-

With victory after victory re-

Of testimony important in proving
the states case, it is reported that
the attorneys for M. ]. Gordon, al

move for dismissal of the charge
against the former supreme court
justice and Great Northern attor-
