TEN YOUNG WOMEN ACHIEVE TRIUNU4
HERE YESTERDAY Y; NURSES GRADUA TE

There was a look of eager antici-
patton, yet one Of triumph on the
face of the young woman as she
sat quietly with her hands calmly
folded in her lap. She had labored
hard and looked forward earnestly
for this day, and yet as her eyes
wandered over the large audience
her thoughts travelled far back over
the experiences of many months.
She was thinking of the days and
nights passed, when in a cap and
apron she had walked the long cor
ridors in response to summons to
the bedside of some helpless suf-
fering infant or some dying woman
whose hand she had held to COM
fort and quiet when the last spark
of hope Of life had fled. Perhaps,
too, she recalled the case of a
youth who. away from home and
mother. with his cries of pain and
agony had caused her to spend
sleepless days and nights to adj
minister relief.
This young girl was one of the
ten who graduated from the train
ing school of nurses at the st.
Luke's hospital yesterday. AS sig
nificant of knowledge and faithful
service of three years she was pre-
scented with a diploma and a pin
with a cross of gold, surrounded by
a laurel wreath with the monogram
of S. l..
For three years past these wom
en- had been ever faithful and
ready to aid the suffering and the
dying They have sacrificed world
Iy pleasures and society to admin
ster to the victims of disease and
accidents. Their graduation was
but stepping stone to future &C
complishments in the field of their
life work.
Even this life of devotion does
not deprive the faithful women Of
owe and romance. Cupid finds his
way into their hearts. Often the
first spark of love famed in the
hearts of men who have been re-
stored to health is toward the one
whose patience and endurance has
made life worth while. Some
times the doctors have found such
a faithful companions in these
sweet young maids that they gain
them as life time help mate.

STUPIDITY OF POLICE

which in itself fails to mention
fireworks or explosives. On the
contrary the ordinance restricts
only the manufacture of matches,
loose excelsior and tow, 'or other
hazardous occupation"
While | do not wish to rule as
to the validity of this ordinance, I
must say that it's meaning is not
clear" Judge Mann said in sum-
ming up the evidence as introduced
under the ordinance. That portion
or other hazardous occupation,
might be construed to prohibit men
working on top of high buildings
such as the Old National Bank
building or the Paulsen block, \nd
does not mention the storage of
explosives. 1t has not been shown
in this case that the defendant has
been engaged in a hazardous occu-
patton, hence | will dismiss the
case"
1t is not unlikely that another
case will be filed against Fugita,
under separate ordinance which
prohibits the storage of powder and
other explosives within the city
limits. 1t is alleged that Fugita
ha dabout 200 pounds of assorted
fireworks in his place.
Failure to convict in this case
seems to have been through the is-
norance of the ploice in bringing
an action under an ordinance that
had no bearing on the case, in spite
of the fact that another ordinance
exists which thoroughly covers the
offense

DA VENPORTS SIGNED ON
CREMANORY CONTRACT

1t is four months sine The Press
first called attention to the fact
that Davenport's restaurant en-
joyed immunity from the operation
of the city crematory ordinances,
while every other restaurant in the
city was made to comply thereto.
The only other exception was in
the case of the Hotel Spokane,
which, like Davenport's, had it's
gabag< and waste matter hauled
away by private contract.
Today Secretary Armstrong of
the board of public works lined up
DavenpOrts in contract. 1t re-
quired only about Is minutes to do
the work, Mr.. Armstrong says
Every time Superintendent Har-
mon Of the crematory called on
Manager Wraight of the restau-
rant talked him out of closing the
contract.
1t used to be that L. M Daven-
port was deputy in the crematory
department. but Harmon,took away
his badge.

DALkE'S PLAN
FOR IMMENSE
RESERVOIR

Commence now to plan and make
water extensions available two
years hence. is the idea of r. L..
Dalke, councilman from the Fourth
ward.
Dalke thinks that there should
be an immense reservoir on the
north side on the Minnehaha Or
Little Badly hills and he will in
troduce a resolution soon asking
that the preliminary work be got
ten under way for the building of
such reservoir. A reserve supply of
water could then be held for the
north side and direct pressure to
that district given. And then the
distance to such reservoir would be
so short that it could be filled with
much less power than the present
reservoir at Ninth and Grand.

COLLISION

Slippery rails are believed to be
responsible for a head-on collision
between the Medical Lake electric
train and car No. 1871 from the
Division street line of the w. W..
p. Co. at the corner of Riverside
avenue and Lincoln street this
morning. The Division street car
was badly damaged, but no one
within it was hurt. Passengers In
the front car of the Medical Lake
train we're considerably shaken up,
but little damage was done to the
motor car.
1t is declared by bystanders that
Motorman Crate of the Division
street car had the brakes set so
ri9idly that the wheels of his car
we're sliding as they went round
the curve and coIIided. Tho rails
at this point, as at all other abrupt
turns in the road, are kept creased
and this may have caused the
wheels to slide.

CAIRO, Egypt, June 15.-Sir FL
don Gorst, the British agent and
consul general in Egypt, has been
officially white washed" by the
Egyptian government. 1t was he
who was inferentially attacked by
Col. Roosevelt in the latter's Lon
don address for alleged mismanage-
ment in Egypt.
The Conservative party has tried
to make capital out of Roosevelt's
criticism of Gorst, and it was to
counteract them that the Liberals
gave Gorsts management official
approval.
Gorst has been in the service
of the British foreign office since
1885, coming to Egypt as tax col
lector five years later.

GAMBLING UNCHECKED

Gambling his been carried or
right along during the past winter
on North Monroe street without
police interruption. One man was
pulled out of one of the games on
North Monroe and taken to police
head quarters. He told what he
had been doing, but there was no
raid or interruption of the game.
A Press reporter asked a po-
liceman on the beat why closer
tab was not kept on these
games. "Why. that's a matter
for the plain clothes men," he
said.
In a poker game carried on
in one of the big hotels on
First avenue few nights ago
one of the leading business
men of the city lost 100000
Men who sat in the game
made no effort to keep the mat
ter secret and commented the
following day on the gameness
of the loser.
The police are said to have
knowledge of this game If they
have not they surely have their
ears padded, as almost every man
that frequents the cigar stores
where sporting men gather have
heard of it,
Conditions in Spokane are more
open in the way of gambling than
they have been at any time since
the state of Washington placed its
stamp of disapproval on this form
of amusement. Why is this?
The Press recently pointed out
the fact that gambling had been
carried on in the cigar store OPP
Grated by the brother of Chief Sui
livan on Sprague avenue. There
has been no denial of this charge,
and no protest made.
The story of the prominent con-
tractor. holding a number of large
city contracts. who lost over $500
playing poker in a cigar store near
the corner of Howard and River
side has not been denied. 1t can
not be denied successfully, because
Chief Sullivan knows that it is
true
With the aid of a member of the
police department the checks given
by the contractor in payment for
his losses were returned. The af-
fair was finally adjusted by the
contractor paying a portion of his
losings and the matter terminated.

expose Of gambling conditions.
