ter of Spokane, president Of the
state board Of medical examiners,
today, in reply to the attack made
by these city officials on the un-
clean manner in which the council
chamber Is said to have been left
after the close of last nights ses-
sion of the medical examiners.
DR.. Witter and the other men,
bers of the board were indignant
today over the roast handed them
by the mayor and the head of the
city council. DR.. Wittcr said that
no unsanitary conditions had been
created and that the only dirt was
the waste paper that had fallen on
the floor, thrown there by the 11S
applicants, who tear up or waste
lot of paper in days time.
This roast has injured Spokane
in the eyes of many of the apph-
cants,' continued DR.. Witter. "They
came here to take the examination
when they could have gone to Wal
la Walla or North Yakima as well.
They have left money in Spokane
and In return are handed an un-
called-for attack. II it came from
any other source than the heads

stances think that it should be

will be announced Sunday morn

A Scarcity
of Bana mas
in Spok ane

There is a scarcity Of banan-
as In Spokane, and some of the
retail groceries have not been
able to obtain them for several
days. This Is due to the rail-
road strike, which tied up the
refrigerator cars, in which the
bananas have been shipped to
the commission houses. Many
of the commission houses are
out of bananas or have but a
very limited stock, and there
is no relief In sight.
During the holidays many
stores sold bananas that had
refused to ripen in the proper
way because of exposure in
delayed shipments due to the
strike. Instead af the bright
yellow of the ordinary banana
this mis-rlpened fruit had a
reddish color, as though it had
passed through a fire sale.

contrast TO the scenes marking the
first trial of this case, when the court

ton by those eager TO hear every word
of The evidence, there were only a few
persons present.
Attorney General Anderson stated:

3. Cooper and John Sharp were in
dicted Jointly for the murder Of Senator
Carmack. The case resulted in ac-
quittal OF Sharp. Colonel Cooper ana
this defendant were found guilty of
murder in the first degree. The SUI
preme court affirmed the case of
Colonel Cooper, but as to this defend
ant there was a reversal"
Judge Neil stated TO the jury that. in
view Of the statement of the attorney
general and that in view of the fact
that no further effort had been made
10 prosecute the case, the jury would
return verdict OF not guilty. This
was done.
