Councilman Funkhouser, chairman Of the
finance committee, supported the city at
torney's view, and further proceedings
were taken with the charter provision to
the front. In the apportionment as framed
sor the various departments by the finance
committee $4,000 OF the occupation tax
money Is prorated, as follows: 5000 to the
library, $4,000 to the fire department, $1,000
to the police department, 5000 to the park
fund, 5000 to the lighting fund. 5000 to
street cleaning. $1,000 to curbing. guttering
and paving and 5000 to street rapairs and
grading.
City Attorney Burnam held that $50. 900 is
every cent that can be apportioned at this
time, as that amount added to the $3.50, 900
provided for by levy makes the $1,OOO.O0O
that the charter allows to be expended.
Keeping this pro rata distribution OF
$4,000 in mind, following are the amounts

The fire department allowance is just
1900 short. In the above table, OF the
maximum amount permitted, but losing
1900 TO the library fund will place It
5000 below maximum. The police depart

board cuts It 5000 below the maximum.

POLICE INTEREST IN

Why did the police department

fact the girl was In hiding In Spo-

Why did Chief of Police Sullivan

POWELL
RETURNS
HOPEFUL

Percy Powell. OF the Powell-San-
ders company, returned today from
Washington city. where he went as
a member Of the Spokane commit
toe to urge the passage of the
"long haul, short haul' bill In con-
gress.
Mr.. Powell said that he saw 81
congressman and nearly as many
senators. and feels very much en-.
couraged and thinks that the bill
has a fair chance to 60 through
both houses of congress. He found
strong sentiment in favor of the
bill among the statesmen from the
middle west and mountain states.
Mr.. Powell Is further very much
encouraged over the prospect of a
favorable decision by the interstate
commerce commission, which will
pass on the Spokane rate case be-
tween now and June Is.

ney's office, in spite or the story
Of her drowning in the Colorado
| river?
These are questions that the po-
lice may be able to explain. At
present they are unanswered.
Now for the facts in the case.
| The girl. yesterday morning, learn
| ing from some source that a pri.
vate detective agency had been
called into the case made her pres
ence in the city known to her dis
tracted mother. Soon afterward
the mother and daughter walked
into the prosecutors office. and
the case was turned over to Denton
M. Grow, a deputy. To him the girl
confessed to her relations with Nu-
gent and swore out warrant for
his arrest on statutory charge.
The warrant was placed in the
hands of Clarence Long and James
Logan. fearless sleuths, and with
Deputy Prosecutor Crow left yes
terday afternoon In an automobile
for RatEdrum, Idaho.
Arrived there, they took an Off
cial of the town with them and
started on a difficult trip of four
miles into the timber, where Nu-
| gent has claim. On surrounding
the house Nugent tried to escape
by crawling out over the roof from
an upstairs window, but the COM
mand to surrender, in firm tones,
brought hi INTO time. rs
The officers then took Nugent
and his young wife. who is soon to
| become a mother. to Rathdrum,
where. they left Mrs. Nugent with
sympathiz ng friends and came on
to Spokane with their prisoner, ar
riving here at l O'Clock this morn
ing. Nusent is now in jail in de-
fault OF $4,000 bonds. His hearing
win be held within the next day
Tor two.
| The girl is n prisoner in the ju-
venile detention rooms and makes
no effort to shield the man, whom
the police force of Spokane tried to
tell the reporters was not the right
man.
There Is an element of mystery
about the police connection with the
case that cannot be fathomed. The
mother was told by private detec-
tives that as soon as she got after
Nugent that the girl would imme-
diately appear, and sure enough this
proved true.
Nugent and the girl worked at
Graham's store and Nugent lost his
Job because OF his fondness for her.
The girl disappeared March II and
Nugent left about the same time,
going to his ranch. The girls
clothes were found about a mile
from the ranch OF Nugent.
