THESE BACHELOR GIRLS"
To Be Seen AT The Colonial Theatre
SATURDAY. Matinee And Night

Referring to Girls, Clyde Fitch s
comedy to play here Saturday, No
vember 5, matinee and night, it may
be said of the three gitls in the cast
who have avowed celibacy, these
bachelor girls are not the only exam
pies of delightful femininity in
"Girls.
There is the lady who is past her
twenty-frst birthday by some years,
who is still in the matrimonial
lnarSet and ready and willing to
tie her wagon to the star of any man
who will make the offer to lead her
to the altar. She is an "elocuting''
spinster and her work affords just
the necessary foil to the other types
presented in the piece.
Laughter is spontaneous when one
sees Girls" and the greatest fea-
ture of the comedy and the reason
for it's unqualified success, is the
fact that the girls are real girls,
in their walk. in their manner of
dressing and in the things that hap
pen to them. Uf course, before the
curtain falls on the last act matters
are all Strengthened out and the in
dependent girls lose their repug-
nance for the masculine gender and
all ends happily by each falling very
much in love with the men they had
before affected to despise.

Il IS ALL
OFF, SAYS
STRAHORN

1--WE cannot accept the offer of
the city council to submit the fran
chise to popular vote for acceptance
or rejection, we to bear the expense
of such special election" said Rob-
ert E. Strahorn, president of the
North Coast railway, this morning,
in response to a question as to his
attitude on the action of the coun-
Gil in calling an election for June Ia.
ITO begin with, we could not ac-
cept franchise secured in this way
because our attorneys have told us
that the city council has the sole
and only power to grant the fran
chise.
Then it would be useless to sub
nit the franchise in the form pre-
pared, as there are a number of
other questions that will be brought
up, even if the people voted to
waive the demand for terminal
rates. With these questions unset
tied we could still be harrassed and
the final action on the franchise in
definitely postponed"
Continuing, Strahorn told of the
franchise fight as follows: ut is
very embarrassing to me when
report to my New York associates
that my home city of Spokane, for
which have striven to secure every
concession in the building of our
line, has cast us aside. With
Walla Walla, North Yakima and
other cities running after us with
offers of land for our shops and
for other uses, imagine the disap-
pointment over the attitude of Spo-
kane, my home city, in rejecting all
of these things that we are bring
ing to it without a pennys outlay
and paying top prices for every
thing that we get.
mo, if the city council has made
up it's mind that they do not want
the North Coast there is nothing
else for us to do but pack up our
tent and move away. We have met
the city council more than half way
on every proposition that was pre-
scented and now when we can not
consent to do the impossible they
want to shut us out.
IF the city of Spokane were to
buy all of our terminals and build
union station and invite us to
walk into it on the condition of our
granting terminal rates we could
not do it; no, not for moment. 1t
is physical and financial impossi-
Dilitv and the people are being de-
luded when told the contrary"

WHEAT TAKES
A JUMP Up
(By United Press Leased Wire)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
CHICAGO, March 23.-It was the
continuance of the damage reports
from Kansas that caused the initial
advance of Il to &c bushel in the
wheat pit this morning and forced
a closing of " to &c above yes
terday.
Today's performance was directly
opposite what had been expected
by the trade but nevertheless this
occasioned no surprise for during
times Of crop damage reports any
thing may happen and this is exact
ly what the trade figured after the
higher opening.
Encouragement of substantial
character was given the bull side
of the wheat trade was given this
morning by the early cables. At
Liverpool opening prices were "
to I'D above yesterday and the
closing showed still further gains
at an advance of q to I'D.
There was a disposition to dis
count the damage reports from
Kansas after the opening but the
rise in wheat prices abroad made
up for any loss in bullish sentiment
on that score.
In today's trading September re-
ceived most attention and made
the greatest gain both at the open
ing and the closing of the session.

BUT THERE ARE
NO RESORTS, So
CHIEF SAYS

Insanely jealous because she had

Hardy, who is said to have been
living with the Ham woman for the
past three months, and who was a

women, ignoring his former sweet
heart
Crazed with jealousy. Louise Ham
stood behind the portieres separat-
ing her from the room in which
Hardy sat, until she was able to
draw a direct aim on him. Then
she sprang into the room, and, ac-
cording to witnesses, shot him de-
liberately, the bullet entering his
right breast. Hardy died without

five minutes after the shot was
fired.

BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, March
23.-(By wireless telegraph Two
thousand Madriz soldiers are NOV
ing towards Bluefields today, &C.
cording to spies who have reached
Rama. The spies came from the
interior and telegraphed the news
to the capital of the provisional
government.
Bluefields was thrown into a
panic by the news. Plans were
hastily formed for the defense of
the city. The Estrada forces are
scattered and only few stragglers
have returned to Bluefields and the
town is practically defenseless.
Couriers have been sent out to
communicate, if possible, with the
various commanders of the Estrada
forces and an attempt will be made
to mobilize the troops between
Rama and Bluefields. Rama is the
base of the movements of the Es-
trada troops and efforts are being
made there to bring in the strag-
glers and reorganize the army.
General Vasquez, commanding
the Madriz forces. is expected to
reach Rama within two days and if
he should succeed in cutting off the
provisional army before it reaches
there it is believed here only a
disorganized resistance could be Of
fered the administration soldiers,
and the fall of Bluefields would be
almost certain.
Once before during the revolu-
ton in Nicaragua, Bluefields has
prepared to defend itself. The plan
adopted then will be used now and
should the Madriz troops pass
Rama, most of the people of the
city will be taken to the bluffs that
overlook BluefieldS, and the few
soldiers that can be marshalled
will be placed where they can send
raking cross-fire across the town
itself, should the Madriz army at
tempt to invade the city.
The threatened danger has given
rise to the rumor that the United
States will be appealed to again to
interfere in Nicaragua. There are
many Americans in Bluefields and
it is said hasty message will be
sent to Washington asking for the
return of United States cruisers.
The last cruiser left Nicaraguan
waters few weeks ago.

SAN FRANCISCO, March %
Freddie Welsh, after hurting defis at
Packey Mcfarland and then trying to
run OUT when the stock yards cham
pion sailed across the pond to beard
the lion in his den, at last has con-
sented to fight his old foe. the battle
to take place in London on May 80.
The distance agreed upon is 90 rounds

be a $1,000 side bet
Never has an English fighter been
roasted as Welsh because of the atti-
tude he assumed when Mcfarland got
him into a corner among his people.
After Welsh beat Johnny Summers
he became public idol. He was
hailed as the legitimate successor of
Battling Nelson and was even referred
TO by some of the English critics as
the real lightweight champion be-
cause Nelson had refused to fight him.
But when Packey Mcfarland ap-
peared on the scene and announced his
Willingness to fight Welsh ran off
Freddie evidently has now seen the
handwriting on the wall, for with the
Londoners against him he is in dan
ger of losing caste throughout the

COUNCIL BOWS

OPINION
ORDERS AN ELECTION IN RAIL
WAY FRANCHISE NATTER
JIM HILL TALK RESENTED.

Smarting under the statement In
The Press that it was being
charged that John L. Wilson OF
Seattle had lined up the city coun.
Gil against the admission of the
North Coast and the Milwaukee,
Councilman Shaefer last night in.
troduced resolution in the city
council to submit the question OF
the franchises to vote of the peo-
Pile on June IA.
Mr.. Shaefer dropped a nice little
bombshell into the midst of the
ity council, one that was wholly I'M
expected, but the proposition was
so clearly honest and right that the
council could not evade it and avoid
suspicion. and it went through with
faint chorus of ayes" Possibly
three or four councilmen voted aye,
but as there were no votes in oppo-
sition, it was declared unanimously
adopted.
Councilman Dalke growled over
the Shaefer resolution. There is
nothing to gain by this course" he
said. "The council has gone on
record and agreed to take no steps
in the franchises until the roads
agreed to give terminal rates. It
is not up to the city council to or
der an election. The railroads
should first ask for one"
The passage of the resolution
was greeted with applause by the
crowd in the council chamber, but
caused decided chill to pass over
some of the members of the city
fathers. They were evidently out
of sorts over the turn affairs had
taken, but could not help them
selves. The Press had put the
question squarely up to the coun-
cilmen and they could not we'll
dodge the issue.
There are several chances yet to
beat the franchise election before it
is finally called.
An ordinance must be passed
authorizing the election, and if the
city council cares to defeat the
proposition it can yet be done.
In order to make the election eff
fective the Milwaukee and the
North Coast must agree to bear
the expense. The city council
agrees to abide by the result of the
election and to waive any questions
of legality that may arise.
They say that John L. Wilson
has fixed this little city council. -
said Shaefer, the mover of the cleo
ton plan. He surely must be a
fiyer because we certainly are
fixed. We are advertised as a part
of the Jim Hill clique, which is
quite a compliment. We are going
to show the people that We are will
ing and ready to abide by their
judgment"
