cases, for which all of the
inmates are booked at the
police station. The bonds
are forfeited in police court.
When Mayor Pratt went into of
flee a year ago and John Sullivan
was made acting chief of police the
pair announced with a flourish of
virtuous indignation that there
would be no restricted" district.
There is no restricted district" in
the sense that it was known in the
past, for the resorts are now scat
tered up and down Front avenue for
blocks. In the list of the new re-
sorts are those for the white. black
and brown races, even the old style
cribs being permitted in the Jap
house recently opened.
If resorts of this character are to
be permitted there is no moral rea-
son why the city Of Spokane should
become a partner in the business
and profit by the shame of the I'M
fortunate women that fill these
places. This system of legalizing
the social evil may appeal to the
consciences of Mayor Pratt and Act
ing Chief of Police Sullivan, but to
the fair minded citizen, weighing
the question on it's merits, there is
no standard Of moral ethics that
will permit the public treasury to
be enriched fro mthe earnings of
these women. The state is daily
sending men to Walla Walla for
this practice, that he police depart
ment condones as being a proper
step in the control of the social evil.
Another imposition on these
women is the exaction of a $3.50
medical examination fee, or over
5000 per month, which goes to a
city employe, drawing salary from
the city government.

A
REFUND Of
WATERRENT

A resolution was adopted by the
North Hill improvement club at it's
meeting in the Monroe Park Pres
byterian church last night demand
ing that the city of Spokane refund
the water rent for sprinkling in that
district collected for the months of
May, June and July, and at least IS
per cent of the rental collected for
domestic water, for the reason that
the city failed to give the water
and damaged the residents to that
extent.
The club also asked that the city
council erect a fire station in that
locality, and adopted a ringing reso-
luton to that effect. The resolu-
ton recites that the closest fire sta
ton at the present time is three
quarters of mile away, and at a
much lower level, therefore practi.
cally being Of no service to that
region.

The man who is alleged to have
killed Mrs. Crippen was a rtained
physician and surgeon. He was a
man, the police say, used to the
handling of the scalpel and the
knife, expert in compromising and
giving drugs and scientifically
trained in the knowledge of their
effects.
Mrs. Crippen was poisoned and
her husband gave her the fatal
drug" declared DR.. Pepper, the gov
eminent analyst, one Of the keen.
est students of medical jurispru,
dence in England. Whether Grip
pen was assisted in his work by
Mile. Leneve cannot be determined,
although the police believe such to
be the case and have brought a
charge of murder against her as an
accessory.
Il believe that the mutilation and
dissection of the body was an after
thought on the part of the murder
err. The man who killed Mrs. Grip
pen knew the insolubility of certain
elements in quick lime and added
chemicals to facilitate their disso-
luton. For that reason the body is
MAR worse condition than ordin-
arily would have been the case
from free lime Then, too, the MUIR
derer carefully excised the larger
bones of the body, thereby hasten
