election of a west side candidate

the forces Of Burke and Wilson in
King county, and of Ashton in Ia

fcal machines in every city and
county will try to force them to a

of the primaries. They will be in

though between 80 and 40 guests
were driven, scantlly- clad, from
their rooms, no damage was done
and no losses reported.
1t has not yet been definitely as
certained how the fire started, but
it is believed it was caused by a
defective electric wire. A general
alarm was turned in shortly after
3 o'clock after the department had
been notified by an occupant OF
one of the rooms in the Victor Ho-
tel. Owing to the large quantities
of paints. oils. chemicals and pa
pers on the third floor, where the
blaze started, the work of the fire
men was rendered extremely diff
cult and hazardous. Again and
again the fire-fighters were driven
back, but finally they made the four
streams over which they had con-
troll do effective work, and from
that time the blaze was practically
under control.

The above statement was given
to The Press this morning after an
interview on the general subject
of the fine" system, which has eX-
listed in Spokane for eight or nine
years, and which has made the city
an accomplice in crime. inasmuch
as ii amounts to a practical licens-
ing, and on the particular subject
of the raid which was made yester-
day morning by Sergeant Warner
on the houses at 6l2 and GA Front.
Two weeks ago Mayor Pratt said
that the fine" system must cease,
and although many were skeptical,
and many more were surprised, 1t
seems that he meant what he said.
But for some reason or other his
wishes were not obeyed by Chief
Sullivan, who continued the old
policy by collecting the $l5 fine
from l3 women yesterday morning.
Mayor Pratt would not admit yes
terday. until he had investigated
the circumstances, that the Front
street raid was contrary to his pol
icy. but suggested that Sullivan
had some good and proper reason
for takil he women into custody.
But this morning he admitted his
orders had been misunderstood APP
parently, and that his wishes had
not been carried out. He stated
that the cause of this was that the
orders which had emanated from
him had not been conveyed to the
sergcants on the beats in question.
He stated most emphatically that
yesterdays was the last raid of
that character, that the sergeants
now understand his attitude in the
matter, and that henceforth he will
instruct Chief Sullivan to adopt a
new policy.

MONSTER
SUBMARINE
UPHEAvAL
(By United Press Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.
Astound by the spectacular per-
formance of the seismograph at
Georgetown university today, Pro-
fessor Lorndorff, the observer,
states that a monster submarine
upheaval occurred within 1000
miles southeast of the national cap
itol.
Lorndorf is of the opinion that
the disturbance was accompanied
by tidal wave, the instruments re-
cording simultaneously vertical and
horizontal movements of the earth's
crust.
Estimates place the displacement
Of the cath at spot some 1000 be-
meath the sea, but with such activ-
ity as the register of the seismo-
graph indicated marine phenomena
probably followed. The needle
moved upward, at the same time
moving an equal distance around
the recording instrument.

RISK LIVES TO
SAVE CANARY BIRD

Because their pet canary was
In danger Of burning to death,
two persons, clad in little more
than their night clothes, ran
back into the Victor hotel this
morning, almost at the risk Of
their lives, and carried the bird
to safer place.
The two rescuers were guests
of the Victor hotel, Mr.. and
Mrs. McCIain, and they treas
ure the bird very dearly, as
may be imagined. They escaped
as soon as the alarm was
raised, but when they had time
to gather their wits, their first

DENIES
BRIBING
Says He Made No Improper
Offer to Senator
Gore.
(By United Press Leased Wire.)


MUskoGEE, Okla, Aug. 5.-Ja-
cob L. Hamon, charged by Senator
Gore with offering him bribs in
connection with the McMurray In
dian land contracts, took the stand
and denied absolutely that he had
ever offered money to Senator
Gore.
hamon said he had made no i'm
proper offer in regard to the con-
tracts and that he had not endeav-
ored to bribe the blind senator
from his own state. He denied
specifically parts Of the conversa.
ton which Gore on the stand at
trbuted to him in a conference be-
tween himself and Gore in the lat.
ter's office In Washington.
The charge of bribery first made
on the floor of the senate by Sen
ator Gore near the close of the last
congress. The charge was made in
connection with legislation before
the senate which gave certain Off
GERS of the government right to
validate contracts with Indians in
selling lands. Under the present
system the contracts are validated
by the government after cerommen-
dation by the commissioner Of In
dian affairs. The bill introduced
in the senate proposed to make
changes in the manner in which
contracts could be approved so
that it Is declared, friends of those
holding contracts could have them
approved 1t was to withdraw his
opposition to this bill. Senator
Gore said. that he was offered the
bribe. The contracts which 1t is
alleged by Gore were affected by
the bill were those in which j. c..
McMurray was said to be inter.
ested. 1t was said that McMurray,
representing a syndicate, had pur-
chased 100000 acres Of land in the
Chickasaw and Choctaw nations in
Oklahoma.

that they of course meant that they

They figure there are two ways to
