The custom Of placing the property
Of the dead in their graves has always
been followed by the true Romany
gypsies. II Is due to some old tradi-
ton of III luck attending the possession
of an article whose former owner Is
gone. and much valuable property is
buried In this belief. There is also a
sentiment among gypsies against the
possession of anything that has be-
longed to dead person. because 1t
serves to remind the living of the de-
parted and inspire In them dread Of
death. The custom Of burying their
property with gypsy dead dates from
the earliest history of the Romany
tribes.

Rotary Members All Over the
Nation Join Movement in
City's Behalf

Most enthusiastic and encouraging
messages relative to holding the Pan
anna Pacific international exposition in
San Francisco in 1915 havs been re-
ceived during the last two days by the
local Rotary club, member of the Ma
tional association of rotary clubs, from
other branches all over the United

those sent out by the local branch. call
ing upon the other clubs to use their
best efforts with con gressmen and 9th

to this city.
The following, from the Minneapolis
rotary club, is typical, in spirit, of the
kilograms being poured into the Office
of the local branch from many of the
large cities of the east:
Bully for Frisco; have wired con-
gressmen; Minneapolis is ready to
help any time, any way; what else
can we do? We will all be out to
the exposition.
The San Diego rotary club has fallen
into line with the same vim that Others
in that city have shown. In reply to a
wire from here the San Diego club i'm
mediately wired Congressman S. c..
Smith and telegraphed the Office here
Your wire received this morning:
Rotary club of San Diego will give
its energetic support TO help boost
for Panama Pacific international
exposition, 1915 to be held at San
Francisco; Congressman Smith has
been wired.
The secretary of the Los Angeles
rotary club is more than enthusiastic
and optimistic that the exposition~will
be held in San Francisco. Seattle and
Chicago replied to the call in a like
vein.
The Rotary club has been extrem ely
busy and energetic in efforts to bring
the exposition to this city. The officials
have hustled about and found all the
men they could who had any influence
whatever with any of the congressman
or men of concerns in the east. An in
dividual telegram has been sent by the
club to every congressman whom it has
not been possible to reach by personal
letters from acquaintances. The club
has also succeeded in having personal
appeals for political assistance at
Washington sent to several senators.
Among those appealed to were Senators
Charles Curtis. Joseph w. Bailey and

NOTES OF THE AUTO

From information received from the
monthly bulletin of the Automobile
Club of Philadelphia a movement is on
foot for that body to hold tour or
run of some sort. The idea, as set
forth, is to hold the event early in the
summer, limit the entries strictly to
club members and arrange a schedule
of running which would make it pos
sible and entirely safe for members to
take their families with them. One
member has suggested June and three
day tour. This greatly stimulates club
life, and should be followed out by
every club in any city or state.

FRIEND OF CLEVE-
LAND POLICE CHIEF RE.
CEIVES PERSONAL
LETTER.

A Spokane friend of Chief of
Police Fred Kohler of Cleveland,
Ohio, under indictment, has re-
ceived the following satisfactory
letter from Kohler's secretary:
J. F. Howard, 1920 East Fifth Ave,
Spokane, Wash.
My dear sir: Yours of the goth
ult. to Mr.. Kohler/ received and
am instructed by him to thank you
heartily for your very kind express
sions and the interest you display
in his behalf, and he also desires
me to assure you that he expects
to be fully indicated and acquitted
upon completion of the present
trial.
In my opinion the attack made
upon Mr.. Kohler is simply the
machination of political cabal
composed of politicians, irresponsi-
bic degenerates, dive-keepers, gam
blers, keepers of houses of ill-fame
an dthe disgruntled members Of
our department, for the purpose of
removing him from office and put
ting forward some one who will
truckle to their interests. How
ever, each day the prospects of full
reinstatement loom brighter and it
is but question of time now.
Thanking you again, I am, yours
very truly, A. F. Piper, Secretary.

SCHILLER'S LAST WORD

step down and out. But the petit
ton never appeared, and he now
returned to resume his fight
against the franchise.
Schiller branded the petition fill
ed by the citizens railroad commit
tee as a delusion, and told of how
one of his partners had gone into
his place of business and tried to
make their employees sign the
cards. He said that one of his
men had come to him privately and
asked him what he should do in
the matter. Schiller said that he
told him to do as his conscience
dictated, and that the man then
said that he would not sign one of
the cards in 1000 years.
Schiller called the Milwaukee
railroad a Standard Oil road,
founded in order that it might fos-
ter its own industries, by giving
rebates and special privileges. He
said that it was allied with the
steel trust and every other trust or
monopoly in the land.
I'm passing this franchise you
are giving away the last chance
Spokane has Of getting terminal
rates" said Schiller. The COM
mon user clause herein is of no
effect and the city has sealed the
last chance of having any more
railways come into the city over in
dependent rights of way. The work
OF 20 years for just rates to Spo-
kane is undone when these fran
chises are passed.
Schiller said that he did not
question the honesty of the city
council, but seemed strongly of the
opinion that their judgment and
municipal patriotism was poor.
