FIRE STORY

After weeks desperate battle
against the Idaho fire fiend, En-.
NETT Finney, city building inspec-
tor, returned to Spokane yesterday
with the report that he had
saved his homestead 10 miles from
Harrison, and that he himself had
escaped unscathed. He said it was
a majestic and awe inspiring sight
to stand where he did, about half a
miles from his farm and look on 10
square miles of solid, cracking,
roaring flames. This view, he said,
could be obtained from a nearby
mountain. The inspector said the
flames got within half a mile of
his place on three sides, and that
all communication with the outside
world was cut off for several days.
The work Of incendiaries and in.
competent fire fighters was contin.
ually rumored to be responsible for
several outbreaks of the fires, and
Finney said that although he be-
lieved such things happened, he had
not witnessed any personally.

TO SELL TO j. S.
SUIT BROUGHT AGAINST JOHN
HAYS HAMMOND EFT Al, PRO.
MOTERS OF SCHEME TO SELL
WONDERFUL" GUN TO
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT.

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-An auto
mobile machine gun, warranted
to shoot 100000 bullets an hour
and to be more destructive than 30
regiments of soldiers, bids fair to
prove destructive also to the peace
Of mind of John Hays Hammond,
friend and political adviser of Presi-
dent Taft, who, with his son, Har-
ris Hammond, is involved in a suit
against the promoters of the afore-
said wonderful gun. Wonderful
is the word, for the promoters,
through a man Every wealthy, of
very high standing and closely as
ISOLATED with President Taft" (thus
the prospectus of the company de-
scribes Mr.. John Hays Hammond)
hoped to sell it to the United States
government for $25,000,000.
Incidentally, one of these pro-
moters is Henry Clay Russell Wade,
late Of Sing Sing prison, in which
institution he spent two years and
five months for grand larceny.
The suit in question was brought

the company $4,000 which he fur
nished his brother, Arthur Rose of
Pittsburg, another of the incorpor-
ators of the concern.
The gun, according to the testi-
mOny of letter from Wade, which
was used as a prospectus in boost
ing the stock, is veritable Won
der Says Mr.. Wade:
when you stop to consider that
one Of these machine guns, with
two men to operate it, one to run
the automobile, the other to operate
the gun, can do more destructive
work than 80 regiments of soldiers
you can get some idea of the i'm
mense value of the invention. From
an economic view alone this gun
will save the government $4,000,
900 year."

ever the plan has been tried 1t is a
great success. l knew Des Moines
under the old charter, similar to
the one Spokane has, and l saw it
reformed under the commission
form.
The failure of city government in
this country generally is due to the
election of members of the council
from wards and to partisan politics.
Under the commission form of gov
eminent every councilman and the
mayor aer chosen from the city at
large. Candidates for the office of
councilman are nominated at pri-
mary election and there is no mark
on either the primary or general
ballot to show political affiliation Of
any candidate. The city Is the unit
and every officer chosen owes his
allegiance to the whole city and not
to any particular ward. George

RECALLS ATTACK ON
SARAH BERNHARDT

PARIS, Aug. 31.-The death here
of Marie Columbier has revived
gossip today of the enmity that
long existed between the woman
and Sarah Bernhard. Madame Co
lombier accompanied Nine. Bern
hardt on her first American tour
After her return to Paris she wrote
a book entitled Sarah Barnum,
which, under a thin disguise, drag
ged the name of Sarah Bernhard
through a number of scandals.
The book ran through 81 edi-
tons. Madame COlOmbier was
fined 1000 francs and spent two
weeks in prison as a result of the
conviction of the charge of "out-
raging public morals by publishing
the book"

THE COMMISSION FORM.

Editor The Press-Now that the
city council has been forced to CON-
ply with the wishes of the people
for an improved city charter, every
thing should be done by the advo-
Gates of the commission form of
government to enlighten the voters
of the city as to the practical work
ings of that plan. A strong effort
will be made by many interested
parties to alter or amend the pres.
ent charter, the object being simply
to continue existing conditions, with
a few minor changes-just changes
enough to talk about in trying to
fool the voters.
I am earnest advocate of the
commission form Of government fol

theory upon which this plan is
based is correct one, and wher

hard fight to have the assessment
roll for Hassam paving on Astor

proved by the city council last
night, but the effort failed.
Merritt made three speeches, in
one of which he said that he had
nothing to do with rubbing up" the

from his own admissions he seemed
to be the whole force back Of the
deal in the end.

for the paving was secured through
Misrepresentation and that In one
instance, 1t was changed after 1t had
been signed by the property own
