the voters of Spokane did have
some few rights, and it was decided
that the special session tonight

labor has been convinced that the

sEATrIE, March 9.-Seattie

yesterday for wide open town and

scanty plurality Of 1900 to 1000, in
stead Of the predicted 1000 to

town wards and many OF. the resi-
dence Districts. Moore carried the
ninth. tenth and eleventh and pos
sibiy the eighth ward. The twelfth,
thirteenth and fourteenth are still
doubtful and Gill carried the re-
mainder.
While Gill has won, republican
supporters have lost thousands of
dollars on the election. Gill was so
strong a favorite, little or no wagers
were made ON the bare result, but
on the majority. Thousands of dol
lars were put UP in dozen saloons
that the Gill majority would be
from 5000 to 10000, and that Gill
would carry every ward in the city.
The slogan of the republican
campaign in the last few days was,
MAKE it 10000 majority for GILL;
A bitter fight was made on Gill
and the fight told on him at the
polls. He ran far behind his party
in most of the wards.
Thirty-fiye thousand five hundred
votes were cast out of a registered
number of 42,628, as against $4,000
votes In the recent primaries.
Julius Redelsheimer, prominent
merchant, admits the loss of $4,000
on the election. He failed to win
a bet. The firm of Battersby &
Smith, owners of large pool hall,
1t is said. lost over $4,000 and
nearly $1,000 was bet through the
house by outsiders, practically all
of which was wagered on majority
of 1000 or more for Gill.

Schiller saw no reason to kick.
True, it Is proposed that the
services Of the chemist are to be
paid out of the paving fund col
lected from the interested property
owners, as SO much of his salary as
is collectable from that source
But when there is no more paving
to be done in Brownies addition the
salary of the chemist of course will
come out of the general fund. Al
all events, an office of this kind
created at the city hall is hardly
ever abolished. It creates another
tax-eater to be cared for by the

department to be filled by some in

INDICTMENT
PROSECUTOR SUBSTITUTES IN.
FORMATION FOR WORK
OF GRAND JURY.

Fearing that the courts might
hold that the grand jury had no jur-
isdiction in the M. J. Gordon embez-
element case, Prosecutor Fred C..
Pugh secured the withdrawal of the
indictment against the Great North
ern lawyer this morning, substitut.
ing an information containing the
identical charges.
Gordon's attorneys fought hard
against the information, but the
court granted the request of the
prosecutor, an an information
charging Gordon with embezzline
$4,000 Of the railroad company's
money on May 20, 1908, was sub
stituted.
The Gordon trial has been set for
$3.50 o'clock tomorrow morning be-
fore Judge H. l.. KEENAN,.
A peculiar thing in the Gordon
case is that an information had
been filed against the railroad at
torney at the time of the grand
jury indictment, today's order of
the court renewing the former form
of the charge.
1t was charged by the farmers
organizations some time ago that
the prosecutors office had slept in
the Gordon cases and that the in
dictments would not stand because
of failure to prosecute.
This was denied at the time, but
developments go to show that the
farmers had sized the situation up
about right. The Pacific live stock
cases are in the same boat with the
Gordon cases.

T0REPE:A[
SPEAKING
ORDINANCE

Tired of the everlasting trouble
and undesirable advertising for the
city that has come from Spokane's
notorious street-speaking ordinance,
members of the oity council are to-
day considering how best to get rid
Of it and not make too big a change
all at once.
Some want a lot set aside tor
street meetings, but this will not
suffice. Others think the best plan
is to adopt the Seattle ordinance
permitting street speaking subject
to police regulations. An ordinance
to this effect may be introduced at
the meeting of the city council to-
night.
Now that the |. w. WIS have
been crushed it is felt that there is
no need to make citizens hold
meetings in the mire of barnyarGs
and back doors, as was done at the
protest meeting in the rear of the
city jail last night.
