We were told that while race preju-
dice was not much in evidence there
twenty years ago, now IL was about

had been assigned 20 the Hollenbeck
Hotel, large white hostelry and we
showed our letter of assignment to
the porter.
He read il carefully and then look
ed up thOughtfully while a puzzled
look overspread his countenance.
We'll, sir, they may take you in
there. but they don't want you" He
had worked out the problem to his
own self-satisfaction. and for DAYS af-
ter that as we travelled through this
land of sunshine and flowers and on
these speedy palatial rolling palaces
ascended the Sierras and the Rocky
Mountains above the clouds, the
words OF this porter rang in our ears,
well, sir, they may take you in
there, but they don't want you"

pair of blades like the propeller of
a ship or like those of an electric
fan.
In the case is a similar set of
blades fastened to shaft which is
geared to the driving axle of the
machine.
Both sets of blades may be set at
varying angles; from one in which
they actually engage each other to
a horizontal plane in which they
can revolve without agitating the
water TO any great extent.
The greater the angle of the
blades the harder the water in the
case is swirled about, and this in
turn drives the wheel which turns
the axle.
1t is claimed that the loss of
power is very small, that control is
quick and easy, and that the motor
can be run steadily, while the
speed of the car is regulated en-
tireiy by changing the angles of
the propeller blades. Reverse is
secured by turning the blades be-
yond the horizontal plane.
The gear is in actual use upon a
new car and is declared to be
noiseless, shockless and unbreak-
able.

INSTITUTION TO
THE RESCUE
COMES TO THE AID OF MRS.
STALFORD-SUI AGAINST
CHIEF AND PAPER
MOOTED.

Mrs. May Arkwright Hutton has
forged to the front in the fight for
a police matron and henceforth will
Use her energies, influence and
wealth in the cause. Mrs. Hutton
has taken up the cause of Mrs. P.
p. Stafford and is standing by her
with the courage Of a valiant de-
fender. "A friend in need is a friend
indeed and Mrs. Hutton, to the
women in the police matron fight,
has proved the friend in distress.
1t is reported today that Mrs.
Philip Stafford has retained coun-
sci to sue for $4,000 damages a
morning paper and Chief of Police
Sullivan for the statement that she
belonged to the I. w. w. and was
on Gurley Flynns bond.
Mrs. Stafford. on the witness
stand in the superior court, testi-
tied in the presence of the chief
that she did not belong to the or
ganiZation, had no connection with
it in any way, and the records of
the court will show that if is not
she, but the mother of her husband
who was on the Flynn bond.
The only interest that Mrs. Stall
ford had in the Flynn trial, she
says, was her love of fair play and
common decency and her opposi-
ton to sending to prison a young
woman about to enter womanhood,
on what she deemed to be a
trumpet up prosecution.

COMPANIES DISREGARD
CAR HEATING ORDINANCE
Councilman Shaefer Proves, by the
Eastern Cities, That It Is En-
tirely Reasonable.

There have been repeated and
defiant violations of the new ordi-
nance regarding the heating of the
street cars in the present cold snap
without any effort on the part of
the city authorities to enforce the
law
Both companies have been Of
tenders against the ordinance, yet
not a single arrest has been made
or even a protest entered by the
city officials charged with the en-
forcement of the law.
In fact, some of the officials have
been grieved over the passage of
the ordinance, claiming that it is a
hardship on the car companies, and
have suggested among themselves
that the degree of heat to be main
tanned in the cars in cold weather
be cut from 60, as called for, to 40.
Apparently there has been more
concern over the welfare of the
Washington Water Power Co. and
the Spokane Traction Co than
there has been over the lack of
comfort entailed upon the people
who daily use these lines to and
from their business.
SHAEFER GETS THE FACTS.

father of the car heating ordinance,

The Ambulance chasers,"( as per-

members of the bar, are looked
down upon by many legal lights,
particularly when the flights" do

A good one was sprung on an
ambulance chaser" the other day
in personal injury case before a
local court. The plaintiffs attor-
ney stated that he was on the
scene of the injury shortly after
the accident, and desired to testify.
The Seattle lawyer who was
handling the defense led off with
this question, How long after the
accident were you on the scene?"
Twenty minutes AFTER" replied
the plaintiffs attorney.
What delayed you?" was the
second query.
The victim grew very red in the
face and muttered something that
sounded like - foolishness,"

ments of various cities IN the east
for their regulations on heat in
street cars. The first of these an
sWers, received from Cleveland, O.,
states that the car company there
is required TO keep a temperature
of 60 in the cars in cold weather,
and that the only trouble is that
the cars are kept too hot instead of
too cold.
And it costs a lot more to gener-
ate power in Cleveland than it does
in Spokane. where nature provides
the power that heats the cars, if it
is simply called into use.
In Cincinnati, it will be recalled
that the big traction magnate, w.
Kelsey SchCepf. was recently in
dicted in four cases for failing to
keep the cars on his lines warm.
They will never get my vote to
change this ordinance" said Coun-
Gilman Shaefer Il think the pro-
vision as to heat is a reasonable

forced. 1t is not being enforced,
however, as | have reason to know,
as the cars have at time been be-

the city authorities to enforce the

MENT OF WOMEN IN
CITY JAIL.

Fully intent on showing that the
need OF matrons at the city Jail is
as great as made out at the meeting
of the city council Wednesday night
members of the Woman's club that
have been active in the matter of
securing a police matron today &C.
cepted the challenge of the police
department delivered THROUGH
Chief Sullivan and Mayor Pratt, to
show why a matron is needed.
They will appoint a member on
the investigating committee to act
with DR.. Kramer the other member
to be named by the city council, and
propose to sift the treatment of
women prisoners at the city Jail
to the bottom. If half the reports
prove to be true condition will be
revealed that will startle the city.
The women are not going into the
fight in spirit of malice or a de-
sire for notoriety, but for the good
OF Womanhood in particular and
humanity at large. Volunteer help
ers have come to the aid of the
women yesterday and today and
they are running down every ave-
nue. of information that is open. 1t
is a nasty fight, but the women
hope that when it ends there will
be permanent good reaped for the
unfortunate women who fall into
the tolls of the law.

MUST PASS
VETO BILL
(By United Press Leased Wire)

LONDON, Feb. 26.-The sup
porters of the Asquith government
today assumed the attitude of the
king, that Ire veto bill will be pass
ed even if King Edward is compell-
ed to swamp the house of lords
with newly appointed liberal
peers.
The cabinets success, through
its alliance with nationalists and
laborites, depends on the immedi'
ate consideration and passage OF
the veto bill. Premier Asquith
practically has the kings assurance
that if the lords balk at the cur
tailment of their prerogatives, suf-
ficient liberal peers will be APP
proved by him to carry out the
program of the ministry in the
house of lords. 1t is understood
that the premier told the king that
he would be compelled to resign
the premiership unless the king
agreed to the plan.
